Overview

The Hover-1 Alpha Cargo is an electric folding scooter designed for personal transportation. It is equipped with a 300W brushless motor and a 36Vdc, 7.5Ah rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The scooter has a maximum speed of 16 mph (25.7 km/h) and a maximum range of up to 15 miles (24.1 km) on a fully charged battery under ideal riding conditions.

Safety Precautions and Warnings:

The manual emphasizes the importance of safety. Riders are strongly advised to wear a properly fitted helmet that complies with CPSC or CE safety standards. The Alpha Cargo is subject to wear and high stresses, and any signs of damage like cracks or changes in coloring in stressed areas indicate that the component's life has been reached and it should be replaced. Abusive riding is discouraged.

The manual uses "CAUTION" for situations that could cause minor or moderate injury and "WARNING" for hazardous situations that could lead to serious injury or death.

Key Warnings:

  • Folding/Unfolding: Great care must be taken when folding and unfolding the scooter, as moving parts can cause cuts or pinches. The steering column, folding hinge, and handlebars must be securely locked in place before riding.
  • Operation Manual: Thoroughly read the operation manual. Failure to follow instructions and safety precautions can lead to damage, injury, or death.
  • Charger: Only use the supplied Hover-1 charger. Using other chargers may damage the E-Scooter, cause overheating, or risk fire, and voids the warranty.
  • Temperature: The operating temperature range for the Alpha Cargo is 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C). Riding in cold temperatures (below 40°F/4°C) can increase the risk of mechanical failures and decrease battery performance.
  • Surfaces: Do not ride on icy or slippery surfaces. The Alpha Cargo is intended for paved, flat, and even surfaces. Avoid puddles, mud, sand, stones, gravel, debris, or rough terrain.
  • Visibility: The scooter is not equipped with reflectors. It is not recommended to ride in low-visibility conditions. If riding in such conditions (fog, rain, night), ensure the LED headlight is on and wear bright, reflective clothing.
  • Modifications: Do not attempt to open or modify the Alpha Cargo, as this voids the warranty and can lead to failure, injury, or death. Repairs to electrical equipment should only be performed by the manufacturer.
  • Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 220 lbs (100 kg). The minimum supported weight is 44 lbs (20 kg).
  • Riding Behavior: Do not ride above your skill level, too fast, with pets, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Maintain a safe distance from other riders and pedestrians. Do not operate in crowded areas, near motor vehicles, or on public roads. Avoid steep hills, stunts, tricks, off-road riding, sharp turns at high speeds, or jumping on/off the scooter.
  • Battery Safety: Do not modify, change, or replace the battery. Do not use the device if the battery emits odor, overheats, or leaks. Avoid touching leaking materials or breathing fumes. Keep children and animals away from the battery. Do not open the battery or insert anything into it. If the battery discharges or emits substances, distance yourself immediately due to fire/explosion risk. Seek medical assistance if exposed to battery substances.
  • Water Exposure: Avoid using water or other liquids for cleaning. If liquids enter the Alpha Cargo, it will cause permanent damage to internal components.
  • Storage: Store the Alpha Cargo in a dry, ventilated environment. Avoid violent crashes or impacts during transport. Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain, and elements may damage enclosure materials; store indoors when not in use.
