Hover-1 Highlander Pro

Adam-Z

Anyone know where to find parts for a Hover-1 Highlander Pro? So, I’m looking for some advice… I made the mistake of spending $500+ at Best Buy (before reading any reviews…🤦🥺) I need to at least upgrade the brakes, and tires. If that works out- maybe add a seat, cup holder, possibly even a second motor on the rear wheel?
The whole deck of the scooter is hollow so I can build a bigger battery pack and stash the controller in there (possibly… 🤷🏽‍♂️😝). Just looking for some a new, custom project. I’ve been in the automotive industry for 20+years, & I hate to see this thing completely stock lol! BUT. First I need to upgrade the brakes (bigger rotor, hydraulic hopefully, ect.) AND tires("10x"2 [or "3]). Any recommendations on; brands, sites, or even YouTubers that do that kind of stuff? I would appreciate it very much!!😊👍 Thanks for your time! 😁👍

It appears the Highlander Pro is a Bestbuy exclusive based on the Hover 1 Blackhawk. The Hover 1 website does not show any spare parts available and is mostly non functional, at least for me on my tablet. They don’t provide any detailed information at all, such as battery voltage, Ah, brake type, etc.
It looks to me like every thing on this scooter was made specifically for it with no standard parts. The platform of the frame looks too thin and narrow to fit any batteries or controller unless a custom metal box is made to hang underneath, thereby reducing the ground clearance to almost nothing. The rear hanger is too narrow to fit any hub motor that I know of.
I’m not sure I’d want to go too much faster with that single little rear mechanical brake anyway. Can’t tell from the pictures if the brake caliper is a standard mount or not or if the rotor is a standard 6 hole mount.
I’m sorry but I don’t mean to rain on your parade; but as far as upgrades go, this scooter might be a lost cause. Of course if you’re a God level DIYfer and mechanic, then prove me wrong, lol. If it were me, I’d give it to my girlfriend/wife/kid/mistress/dog/alloftheabove and get something else with a better foundation.
Good luck on your quest.

Hey there! I REALLY appreciate you taking your time to write me back! 👍👍 Challenge accepted!! 😁👍 I’ve been wanting a new project anyway! And I have a shop, so… Question,
If I send you a few pics would you be able to check to see if the parts are standard size? Or possibly guide me to where I can check? And possibly get a bigger rotor and pads on the cheap! Lol… I’m going to TRY and upgrade the tires & brakes to start, cuz it brakes pretty poorly, And the tires are wobbly as hell! 🙄🤦 …
In case your wondering, I’m a mechanic and certified in electronics…, Also I have a TON of 18650 Lion batteries just sitting around. I’ve already built 4 custom batteries out of the individual cells! 😎 (My boys and I leave brusies on each other with our Nerf guns!🤣😇)
lol 😁 But I do seriously appreciate your candor!👋
