speed of 29 km/h (18 mph) against the Hover-1 Journey Electric Folding Scooter with 23 km/h (14 mph). In terms of speed the Hover-1 Alpha Electric Kick Scooter has the max. Update: Brakes still make noise when applying the brakes, but I haven’t had any issues with performance.When compared the Hover-1 Alpha Electric Kick Scooter versus the Hover-1 Journey Electric Folding Scooter we can see that the Hover-1 Alpha Electric Kick Scooter range is 20 km (12 miles) versus the Hover-1 Journey Electric Folding Scooter with 26 km (16 miles). I haven’t noticed any issue with brake performance. Update: I’ve noticed that when applying the hand brake that it emits a loud sound from the brakes. So, I would recommend this scooter without reservation. I believe the manufacturer provides a 3 year warranty, but I paid for the 3 year Amazon warranty so I don’t have to worry about dealing with the manufacturer. And, I’m able to go up inclines (like our driveway) with ease as compared to my wife’s scooter that struggles. The ride feels grounded, throttle is responsive, acceleration smooth, and overall the scooter feels substantial. I’ve been using the Hover-1 Alpha once or twice daily for some time now, typically going distances of 1-3 miles on neighborhood streets, sidewalks and walking trails. Driving modes: High speed mode, cruise control.
HOVER 1 ALPHA BLUETOOTH
Other: LED headlight, LCD display, built-in Bluetooth speaker, bike style bell.Tires: Front and Back 10 inch air filled tires.Brakes: Handle activated rear disc brake.Battery: 36 volt 6 Ah Lithium-ion 30 cell battery.A lot of added features for only $50 more.
I went with Hover-1 Alpha Electric Kick Scooter instead of my wife’s scooter because it was only $50 more than my wife’s scooter model, but the Hover-1 Alpha has a larger frame and platform, a larger electric motor, larger 10 inch air filled tires (versus 8.5 inch tires), a platform logo that lights up, ambient lights under the platform, a rear brake light, Bluetooth speakers to stream music, etc. So, I purchased Hover-1 Alpha through Amazon and purchased a 3 year Amazon warranty so I don’t have to worry about dealing with the scooter manufacturer. I liked my wife’s scooter, so I started looking at Hover-1 scooters. So, I started looking for another scooter. I also had some other issues with the cheaper scooter, so I returned it (Amazon makes returns so easy). I prefer the bicycle type brake controller (see picture below of Hover-1 Alpha left handle bar) that you squeeze because it is more natural and in my opinion it is easier to use. The other thing I didn’t like about the cheaper scooter was the brake control mechanism was the same as the accelerator mechanism, a lever you push with your thumb (see picture below of Hover-1 Alpha, accelerator lever is on right handle). The cheaper scooter stored the batteries in the column versus under the platform, which makes the scooter platform seem more flimsy.
HOVER 1 ALPHA MANUAL
Please keep in mind that electric scooters travel at higher speeds than manual kick scooters. I was almost thrown from the cheap scooter when I ran over a small rock, it stopped the scooter in its tracks and started skidding. I believe the smaller solid tires made the ride bumpier and the tires were less capable when riding over cracks and small rocks/debris. While the cheaper scooter was lighter and more compact, it had smaller 6.5 inch solid tires (versus her scooter’s 8.5 inch pneumatic or inflatable tires). I enjoyed using my wife’s scooter, but being frugal I purchased a scooter for me that was about $50 cheaper than her scooter, big mistake in my opinion.

I really liked using her electric scooter, so I purchased my own, so below is my real life Hover-1 Alpha Electric Kick Scooter review. I started using my wife’s scooter to take the kids out daily around the neighborhood so they could get some exercise.
My kids have kick scooters and my wife bought an electric scooter for work (getting to and from the parking garage).
