Hover-1 Stealth

What the Hover-1 Stealth is built for

The Hover-1 Stealth is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a 500 W motor and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a 468 Wh removable battery and a stated range of up to 30 miles (48 km) on a charge.

The Hover-1 Stealth weighs 40 lb (18.1 kg), carries up to 220 lb (100 kg) including the rider and has front suspension.

In the United States the Hover-1 Stealth sells for $345, below the median of $530 across 163 electric scooters with a US price, among the more affordable models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Hover-1 Stealth may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the Hover-1 Stealth's top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

Hover-1 Stealth safety certification

The brand's listing for the Hover-1 Stealth does not state a UL 2272 or EN 17128 certification. New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
