Good quality build with rechargeable battery scoot
This is great scooter. It was easy to assembly took less than 15 min and i was able to start using it. The scooter has rechargeable battery which is just plug to wall and you are ready to roll. The scooter has speedometer which is nice and the breaking is also very well designed.

Steer clear! Pretty looking pice of junk!
Complete garbage. The 90 day warranty is useless especially if purchased at Christmas in a snowy location. It expires before it gets used. Some scooters have rear wheels that come off to repair/replace tubes or tires. This one has no way to disconnect the power/control cables. I got a solid tire once I realized I might have to repeat this process if it got another flat. It was a two man job getting a solid tire on. I got this because it had decent speed, battery, and a weight limit that exceeded any future need. The tires have a 165lb limit, the scooter itself is rated at 264lbs. My daughter is far from that 264lb weight limit, yet the weld broke at where the base of the front wheel post and the board meet. Find something else, you'll be much happier with a different scooter.

    High Quality Scooter!
    High quality scooter, love how it folds up to put away. Heavy but not too heavy to fold up and put away. One quick test run here in NY in December where there was dry pavement and boy does this thing have lots of power! Strong sturdy and easy to put together. Have to wait until summer to really use it and my husband cant wait, lol. Highly recommend. And blow up real tires also!!

    Buyer Beware of Real vs Knockoff
    1st: We'll talk about the headline, which is buyer beware of real versus knockoff. We bought two of the same Dynamo scooters, but made the purchase 3 days apart as my husband wasn't sure he wanted that one ... when one came in, everything was good to go. but when the second one came in, it only went up to 6mph (??) ... we took a closer look and realized that it was a knockoff. As you'll see on the photos, the Brand was stickered on, the handle bars and parts were different, the non-slip grip was clearly cut and not made to fit that base, which caused it to curl at the edges, and the size is slightly different. We'll be returning the knockoff one today. 2nd: The real one is pretty decent. I gave 4 stars for the battery life, as it doesn't seem to go more than 45min around the neighborhood (stop and go), but it's only a 4hr charge, so not bad but could be better ... It carries, separately, me at 260lbs, my husband at 250lbs, and our son at 140lbs, ALL of us hit 16mph ... I'd certainly recommend as a budget scooter for fun but definitely not for daily commuting unless you're close to home (though I have not tested the range yet). Hope this helped!

    Overall Great!
    We call it the “shortcut”. So, I've always wanted one of these electric scooters for recreation. Just to tool around the neighborhood, we also have a trail that goes through the woods and around a little pond. Enter this Hover-1 Dynamo. Let's get the bad stuff out of the way. Thankfully, there isn't much. First was the grip tape. It was peeling up on all the corners when taken out of the box. Not sure if it spent some time in a very hot (or very cold) shipping container or what the deal was, but it seems to be an ongoing thing. Stick it down, eventually it peels back up again. But whatever. The second issue was what I took a picture of. The handle fold lock is a cast piece. But they left a bur all around the hole where the little locking tab needs to pass through. It doesn't fit. So, if yours is like this, you'll need to use a file or even a screwdriver, something metal to remove or smash that bur down. After that, the folding mechanism works perfectly. Sorry guys, that's just poor finish work. But an easy fix. And the last is the Schrader valve for the rear wheel. I would recommend visiting your local hardware store and buying a thin-walled extender. You can't leave the extender on of course, but I don't have any pumps that can fit without an extender. It's narrow and recessed, seems most people are taking the thing apart to fill it up. Go with the extender... So, three little hiccups, but overall, we're still super happy with it. The air-filled tires give a silky-smooth ride. The power delivery is excellent, throttle switches feel wonderful. The handlebars feel wonderful. Everything about this little scooter feels solid. Cruising along the paths around the pond is unbelievably enjoyable. Super relaxing, I usually leave it at the lowest speed and just cruise around and enjoy the sights. We LOVE it for that. We also added a second one. This one lives a very different life. It lives at work. We have two buildings that are connected, but having to go from one to the other is a hike. It's a small company and there aren't any people or obstacles to avoid. Hence the name we gave it, “the shortcut”. Need to go to the lab to pick up a paper? Take the shortcut! Walking it's a solid 5 minutes one way. With this scooter? About 1. And it's super fun. It's wide open so I'll go full throttle at speed 3, 16 mph. We attached a little basket to the front of this one. I use it every day. Nice to get some exercise and walk too, but when you're in a rush and you just need to buzz over there quick, saving 8 minutes is a HUGE convenience. All in all, it's hard to speak of longevity yet. But so far, we've been super happy with the one at home and the one at work. They're a joy to use. A couple little hiccups, but it doesn't affect our enjoyment of it. I don't think we'll ever go without having one of these from this point forward. They're just too convenient and fun! Oh, and there are tons of lights available out there. A very worthwhile addition if you're scooting at dusk. All in all? Absolutely recommended.

    Rides great!!
    Hover Dynamo Scooter is a must have, it folds so you can carry anywhere you go. It's saves space, so you can put it in a small space. It easy to put together, you just push up the bar and your good to go. You must charge it before using, Atleast all night long. It's just like a push scooter but it's electric. Definitely my favorite, love riding it on the road. Goes up to 10 miles per hour. I love being able to ride it where I want to go!!

    My big complaint is the rear tire was flat and that required a special attachment just to fill it. The sticker was peeling before i got it out of the box. The rear fender broke off pretty easy. I love the scooter and riding it is a blast! I would double check tires though from now on.

    Love this!
    I first want to start off by saying this product is amazing. My husband, my 13 year old son, me and my mom all have been riding this electric scooter. So it is great for all ages. It says it goes up to 16mph but it has only gotten to 13mph. There is a low and high speed with just pushing the power button. It is unbelievably smooth. I live on a very bumpy road and it rode over them smoothly. It has real air able tires so you are getting a better ride. It has reflectors so if you are riding at night. It has a LCD display which shows you how fast your going and the distance you went. You can fold it for easy storage. Charge time is around 3 hours only use the charger that it comes with. Storage inside somewhere dry. The part you stand on could be a little bit wider but is standard size. I would like it if it slowed down slowly when you brake instead of instantly. This has been so much fun to ride.

    Guys, BUY THIS! NO KIDDING
    It arrived double boxed and all that was required as far as assembly goes was to tighten handles up by hand! They say Kerry out charge three hours before riding and we did. You do have to push off the ground and start it, right side is accelerate and as always red handle is stop. My husband is 256 pounds and it had no problem carrying him down the road. Our 9.5 year old grandson will LOVE THIS. I'M SO THRILLED WITH THIS

    My 16 year old son loves it
    It's probably the most fun my son has had on Christmas in a long time. It is so easy to assemble. Take it out of the box, raise the control handle, lock in place, screw on the handles, charge and go. The right handle is reverse threads. We let it charge about three hours and he rode it for what seemed like forever. It has plenty of power and pull. You can tell the difference when he puts it into high. He absolutely loves it.

    Very bad decision.
    Least durable item I have purchased in years. Literally broke (as in, metal split) So disappointed. Want to return it, broken.

    Could've lasted longer
    Had it for a good 5 months barely rode it much and the last time I rode it it snapped in half where the front wheel is. All I did was ride it like a normal scooter, confusing that it broke so easily. Thought it was my weight but I'm 135 so idk I doubt it, overall it's really fast n long rides for hours idk about durability tho.

    The dyno is better than the edge better ride
    Great product with great continued power, really fast at keeps at a constant 15-16 smoove ride compared to the h1 edge and the battery life is 2x better than the edge, thinking of returning edge for the alpha it gets at lest 4-6 miles with me weighting 200lb at full speed

    Not Bad For Short runs
    Nice Scooter. I'm impressed with it. the only thing is it kinda slows down alot when battery is low say 50 percent. also not great in cold weather compared to my other scooter gotrax gxl per say. but warm weather is coming so I will hold out til it's warm before I trash the scooter it's not made for cold weather.

    3 days and 20 miles so far
    I've owned this stand up electric scooter for 3 days now and in that time have done 20 miles on her. So far it's been absolutely incredible. I weigh 200 pounds and it has no problem carrying me at 15 to 16 MPH. On uphills it does around 12 to 13 which is more than acceptable. I have been on 2 wheels my whole life. I have owned and still own some of the fastest motorcycles ever built, but I don't limit myself to just motorcycles. I'll ride anything with 2 wheels, such as gas scooters, electric scooters, mopeds, street bikes, track bikes, bicycles...anything. If you're an adult and are concerned of what others think, it's time to stop and just enjoy life. That's what I love about this scooter, When you're riding it, it's so much fun and humbling. You truly appreciate your surroundings and enjoy the journey more, instead of just focusing on the destination. When you buy this scoote however, don't just charge it and go. Look at all bolts and nuts and insure everything is torqued down. Also use blue locktight on the handle bars so they don't come loose. I'm looking forward to more journeys with the scooter :) (PS: don't be a squid, make sure you ride geared at all times, fall off or crashing at 16 MPH can and will damage you badly)

    Quality built- sturdy
    My first electric scooter! Feels very well built and durable- plenty of foot room- Max speed feels fast enough to get REALY hurt IF I fall off, so personally, it is excellent. Super price point on this scooter! I rode up a decent hill and it slowed but got me to top. Going down hill it felt like the brake was in control as I wanted it. Air Tires take road bumps good and save on weight of carrying. I have not traveled far enough to test batteries full life yet. Fits in car trunk and train luggage rack! Helmet and gloves recommended!

    THE BEST SCOOTER EVER MADE.
    I love this scooter, its fast and helps me catch the train and get to work on time, this goes 16mph on a slope and 15-16mph on level ground and 8-10mph going up on a hill.. and can run for even more than 9 miles on a fully charged battery. Its worth it...love it... and please handle with care, not jumping on it like scathing-board...lol... wish they installed lights in them, but thats not a big deal, ordered some simple lites for it

    This scooter is fantastic great bang for your buck. I bought 2 of them for my boys for Christmas and they are a hit. Of course my boys would have me try riding it too! I loved it. Goes pretty fast l, brakes great and I love the size of the tires they are not the skinny small scooter type.
