Hover-1 Pioneer Speed Limiter Test (DOES IT WORK?)
I saw a few KZreadrs disconnecting a white wire on the Hover-1 Pioneer that was said to be the Speed limiter. I assume this is to allow the scooter to go past 15 mph or to prevent the controller from cutting out the power once it hits 15mph (correct me if I'm wrong). I couldn't find any video proving if this works or not. Today I will be putting the speed limiter to the test on the Hover-1 Pioneer Electric scooter. Does it really work?

Thanks for the video it was a good one. You know people don't realize how much time and camera setup is invested in a video like this one here.👍👍💯😃 good job brother two thumbs up.
The white wire is for the safety braking. When going downhill it prevents the scooter from coasting faster than the limit. It does not affect the top speed of the scooter under its own power on level ground.

Thats allni care about is the down hill speed
Quick reminder: In the Gotrax models, the battery and controller is located within the stem. This the cylindrical section from the handle bars down to the front wheel.
Does anyone know how to fix the alignment on these things ? I fell and now my wheel is off any help ?
White wire is a temp switch I believe, which slows speed when it heats up.
What’s the name of that phone mount on your scooter? I want that!
I would love to know exactly how you made that back up battery I have a hover 1 highlander pro and im lookin to make a xtra battery for it.
have an error with my hover-1 pioneer skateboard that sets me 32 and does not let me occupy it. Can someone help me please
To anyone that thinks around 20 MPH Roughly is not moving that quick, you really are moving pretty fast for an electric scooter to the point where you are almost keeping up with other cars, and going through school zone barely legally. Not to mention legally in illinois where i live they cannot exceed 20 mph, so I Bought a Ninebot ES2 with battery upgrade to achieve this. Or for Hover, I feel the best option for the money is the Hover-1 Alpha. A 450 watt motor is insane.
can you uncap it for the hover-1 alpha?
what kind of front shock did you install?
What’s a good battery replacement for this scooter? Have a lot of hills and I kill it in 23mins. Was lucky to make it near 45mins after stopping and manually go up hills. Thinking on returning it. Saw there is a Bluetooth insignia on there but no clue on making it work or to turn it on. For a while I had issues activating cruise mode, of course cruise mode be around 8-10mph.

Just install a second battery long as same amps u can easily double or triple battery life and scooter will get like quicker on acceleration might up top speed 3 or 4 mph but double time u can ride
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this. It seems that even if you're actually doing 17 or 18mph, the display won't show more than 15mph, is that right?

I like the pioneer model so much because it has that nice stainless steel finished hub motor and it has a front shock absorber. Only drawback with the Pioneer model is that it only has 6 inch wheels
Well I have mine off rn don’t work should I put back on
did you try other wires maybe its yellow color or gray as my escootèr mechanic builder its the gray color other video iv'e seen say its yellow color.
what app were u using to get your speed
My hover 1 pioneer just threw the e-1 code. I've got it apart and will continue trouble shooting it in the morning. Any advice on known locations for the wiring or solder to fail? Thanks

Also, do you know how to get rid of the moving start safety?
Anyone know if it's the same for the x hover legacy?
Even so 18 miles per hour is good at the price we paid we came off pretty good.
What app is that?
Mine goes 18 on the display scooter but it's 21mph for my speedometer on my device
If it did work, I’d put it on a foot switch for just when I wanted the extra speed, and then reconnect it all other times. Pretty sure it might have something to do with the charging circuit so the house doesn’t burn down? I’ve measured my chargers at 125’f inside in January. Imagine if you charged it in the sun in May...
What’s the app called
I want a holder like that and an aluminum water proof case

Just download a speedometer app that can estimate how fast you are moving. No need to communicate directly communicate with scooter since it goes by GPS Position and not scooter information.

You went 23mph stock? Do you weigh 90 lbs or less? I'm 170 and my speed tops out about 16-17mph similar to the video. More than likely if your measurement is accurate then you were traveling down a negative incline or you really are quite light.

I tried unplugging white wire, taping ends for precaution sake. Put my Hover 1 Frontier back together, and went for test run. "Well folks FYI, this hack is crap" I did not gain nor lose any speed. So if you just want to waste 20 mins or so, go for it. If you don't like b.s, forget this hack.

@@HBV90 Actually the white wire is a limiter, but it limits motor when motor gets hot. Keeps motor from being burnt up during long periods of Max speed.
Well i must say the weather shows how die-hard you are to make this vid...
The speed limiter is to stop the battery giving juice to the motor while going downhill. Its a safety feature. If you unplug it it still gives juice going downhill making you go 20mph or more.
