15 mi estimated · 25.6 mi claimed
The claim is 1.7× the estimate. How this is worked out.
Hover-1's top-of-range adult scooter sold direct, and the one that moves it out of toy-aisle territory: a 450 W motor, 10-inch self-sealing tubeless tires, a front shock and a front drum plus rear disc brake. It costs $700 on Hover-1's own store (the page also shows $599.99 as a reference price). The 374 Wh battery gives a claimed 25.6 miles, which at 25 Wh/mi is closer to 15 in real riding. Rider limit is 264 lb, and the minimum rider age is 16. The H-1 Pro app adds remote lock and GPS tracking. Compared with a $500 Gotrax or Hiboy, you get a better brake and an app; compared with a $700 Segway Ninebot, you get less speed and range and a one-year limited warranty.
