18.7 mi estimated · 30 mi claimed
The claim is 1.6× the estimate. How this is worked out.
The value pick in Hover-1's range: a 500 W motor, 468 Wh removable battery, dual disc brakes and 10-inch tubeless tires for $345, marked down on the maker's store from a $899.99 list price. The comparison that matters is with the Ace R450 at $700: the Stealth has a bigger battery (468 Wh against 374 Wh), a stronger motor and two discs, and drops the app, the 264 lb rider limit and the self-sealing tires. Its 220 lb limit is at the low end of this catalog. The battery comes out of the frame, so you can charge it at a desk, and the charge is a slow 10 hours. Thirty miles is a best-case claim; 468 Wh supports about 18 miles at 25 Wh/mi. Choose it as an inexpensive commuter for a rider under 220 lb.
