Riding to school with the Hover-1 Journey Electric Scooter #AD

Disclaimer: The Fandads were compensated for this post. All thoughts, opinions, and desire to own one of these are our own. 

The school year has begun and you know what that means; my children and I start enjoying our 3.5 block walk to school. The walks in the morning are great because we talk about everything and nothing. We’ll chat about a movie or television show they saw, what they are looking forward to in their day, or what they want to eat for dinner at night. While we enjoy our leisurely strolls to school it is not like that every day. 


Some mornings we are running late and have to rush out the door to get to school on time. If I drive to school the one issue we have is finding parking and walking them to their doors. Now one cool way to get to school on time and not worry about parking was if we had the Hover-1 Journey Electric Scooter. With this small lightweight scooter (only weighs 27 pounds) we could zip through the streets and alleys to get to school on time.

Riding these scooters will make our walk a lot faster because the scooter can reach speeds of up to 14 mph. Now when riding scooters like this we have to make sure we ride responsibly* and have the proper safety gear on. Best Buy does have the protective gear that we need when we zoom through the streets on our scooters so be sure to visit them to get what you need.  (Link posted below)

Here is some information about this small, lightweight scooters:

  • The scooter is powered by a 36V UL certified battery pack that can give the rider a full 16-miles  with one charge. The battery is simple to charge with the provided easy-to-use charger.
  • It has a foldable design which offers a convenient, stylish, and exciting form of transportation. Fold it up and carry it around until it’s time to ride again. 
  • The weight capacity of 220 lbs.
  • The scooter had both electronic and foot brakes. This helps the scooter come to a complete stop safely.
  • 8.5″ tires that will allow for greater stability.
  • The Hover-1 Journey has a bright LED headlight for safety. 
While the price point might be a little too high for most, you can visit Best Buy to see their vast selection of electric scooters, electric bikes, and boards. I think we might ask Santa for one of these to run short errands or just cruise around the neighborhood.
