After that, they will probably want a model with better speed and distance per charge due to them becoming heavier. It has no problem handling a total weight of up to 120 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n    \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rate_bar_wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"review-top\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"overall-score\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"overall r_score_8\">8<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"overall-text\">Total Score<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"review-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"review-header\">Great!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Hoverstar Electric scooter really does a good job and is highly suitable for kids around ages 4 to 8.

But unfortunately, this is very common when it comes to electric scooters for both kids <a href=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/best-electric-scooter\/\">and adults<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The motor is powerful enough to handle small inclines without halting to a stop, but it does not work well on either grass or gravel due to its small and slick wheels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Speed up to 6 mph<\/li><li>A distance of up to 5 miles per charge<\/li><li>12v Lead Acid<\/li><li>Age 6-16(My recommendation 4-10y)<\/li><li>Max rider weight 120 lbs<\/li><li>Up to 12 hours recharge time <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements-788x788.jpg 788w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Size-measurements.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Riding Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He rode it for almost 50 minutes until the battery was low. He accumulated about 5 miles which is exactly the distance advertised. He was riding on smooth terrain with very little elevation. The maximum speed of 6 mph is just perfect for kids this age and it lets them zoom around without us parents having to get a heart attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scooters acceleration is smooth so there were no jerky handling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most kids this will be their first <a href=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/fastest-electric-scooter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric scooter<\/a> and going from a kick-scooter to an electric one can be a bit of an adjustment. On this model, there is no foot brake which means they have to get used to braking with a handbrake like on most bicycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had no problem carrying it up a couple of steps but needed help to get it all the way up to the second floor without an elevator. Not being able to hold it together didn\u2019t help either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He loved it though and overall I\u2019d say it is definitely a favorite. No fuss, just a plain simple and fun scooter that can be easily learned and maneuvered by a kid in literally minutes from opening the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The review test data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distance<\/strong>: 5.2 miles (44 lbs rider)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speed<\/strong>: 6 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avg speed<\/strong>: 3 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Battery Consumption<\/strong>: 100% to 0%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Surface<\/strong>: Flat surface and some minor elevation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last words of recommendation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07KMSH2Q8\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&#038;th=1&#038;linkCode=sl1&#038;tag=fivewv-20&#038;linkId=bc6303eb673fdcec5b3108dfff09ded0&#038;language=en_US\">This model<\/a> from Hoverstar is really good for the younger kids of the family.
