HOVSCO HovGtrs

What the HOVSCO HovGtrs is built for

The HOVSCO HovGtrs is a moped-style e-bike with a bench seat and motorbike looks.

It has a 1,500 W hub motor, 90 Nm of torque and a top speed of 32 mph (51 km/h).

It carries a 1,200 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 150 miles (241 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The HOVSCO HovGtrs carries up to 450 lb (204 kg) including the rider, has full suspension and uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal.

In the United States the HOVSCO HovGtrs sells for $799, below the median of $2,695 across 20 moped-style e-bikes with a US price, among the more affordable models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the HOVSCO HovGtrs may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 1,500 W motor is above the 250 W limit, its 32 mph (51 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

HOVSCO HovGtrs safety certification

The brand's listing for the HOVSCO HovGtrs does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
