The last setting P4, can be set to max of 20, 25, or FF (unlocked) km/h.
A couple of notes compared to the Slidgo X8 I got earlier for $300:
1. The air filled tires are actually a lot more comfortable to ride on than the solid tires of the X8! Although having to fill the tire with air is a real pain and I haven't had to change the tire yet.. so we'll see how I feel about this after my first flat.
2. I can go faster on the Hover-1 by a small amount. It looks like I can get about 1-2 mph faster than the X8. Probably due to the air tires and also more weight on the solid tires of the X8. Not a significant difference, but I thought it was a little noticeable. (I made sure to fill the tires up to the 36 PSI as stated on the tire before riding too.)
3. Battery doesn't rattle as much on the Hover-1. Also, this is most definitely due to the air tires absorbing more of the bumps.
Other than those 3 things I noticed, all the rest seem identical. Since the Hover-1 will be for m wife and the Slidgo X8 will be for me, I figure the difference in battery life will be negligible since she's closer to 100 lbs and I'm at 150 lbs. Both are great scooters all around and I'm very happy with both.
For those wanting a battery cover for this thing, I created this on Thingiverse:

I have been comparing the Slidgo X8 with my Hover 1 Blackhawk, and I am having the opposite experience. I find the Slidgo will go faster, consistently keeping me at 18 mph (I am 205 lbs) while the Hover 1 only gets me to 16 mph on the same street. I have tires pumped to 35 lbs and the temp in NY is about 32 degrees. I also have the old style battery vs the newer one on the Slidgo. Anyone having the same experience?
