Review Text: Fun & affordable transportation. The Hover-1 Highlander Pro offers fun and affordable transportation no matter your age or need. This can be a fun "toy" for someone young or environmentally friendly transportation for someone that doesn't like to bike. I have the Hover-1 Blackhawk and the Highlander Pro has some nice upgrades and a few downgrades over that one. The scooter has 10" tall pneumatic tires that make going over smooth or rough surfaces easy. Hover-1 has included a hand pump with this one which is nice to have. The new locking system for the handle bars is a big plus over the Blackhawk, on the Highlander Pro it's much easier for someone with limited hand strength. The new hand grips are bigger and have a more aggressive pattern that feel good and give more control. The addition of a lock for the battery is a big plus, though this doesn't prevent theft of the whole scooter, it does prevent someone from playing a joke on you and leaving you with a scooter with no battery! Though the scooter is compact and folds up, being able to pop the battery off and charge it somewhere else is a huge plus to me. The bigger display is nice and makes it easier to see in bright sunlight, though the drive mode indicator could be bigger. The Highlander Pro has a range of 18 miles and a top speed of 15mph, this is the downgrade from the Blackhawk. The Blackhawk was rated at 28 miles and 18 miles an hour. The Blackhawk truly feels fast at times, while the Highlander Pro feels adequate. This isn't to take away from the Highlander as it's still fast enough, it just might not put that grin on your face like the Blackhawk. Cruise control is a nice feature that both have and you'll know it's engaged when it beeps at you while cruising. Hover-1 makes a wide range of scooters from ones for kids to ones like this that are "Pro". With the Pro line I would like to see more color options or even a black out package, as at this price range this is more of an adult scooter to me. But don't let the bright colors fool you, the Highlander Pro can deliver when you need simple transportation.
