HOVSCO Felicity

What the HOVSCO Felicity is built for

The HOVSCO Felicity is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a 500 W motor and a top speed of 21 mph (34 km/h).

It carries a 374 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 30 miles (48 km) on a charge.

The HOVSCO Felicity carries up to 220 lb (100 kg) including the rider, has full suspension and is rated IPX5 against water.

In the United States the HOVSCO Felicity sells for $499, close to the median of $530 across 163 electric scooters with a US price. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the HOVSCO Felicity may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the HOVSCO Felicity's top speed of 21 mph (34 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

HOVSCO Felicity safety certification

The brand's listing for the HOVSCO Felicity does not state a UL 2272 or EN 17128 certification. New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
