The different modes max out the speed it can go so he rides in beginner mode which tops out at about 4-4.5 mph. He wears his bike helmet for safety outside. It wasn't long before he was riding around like a pro. These were fairly easy to set up once she realized there were 2 separate apps and not just the one. One controls the lights and music while the other is the mode settings for beginner, intermediate and advanced. It turns out there are 2 apps to download, not just one. After he had spun it around the carpet a few times, she set out to download apps. It came with a full charge and he was able to ride it right out of the box, so Mom let him give it a go inside before she set up the blue tooth apps on her phone. He was so excited when it arrived he almost couldn't contain himself. He had ridden one a friend owned and he really wanted his own. I ordered this for my 4 year old grandson for his birthday present. Overall, I recommend this brand, now that we have 2 different styles of Hover-1. I read other reviews that said theirs beeped constantly, and hopefully this one does not develop that habit. The unit beeps and then silences (same beeps as it does when it reads a fault) if he goes full speed, and we haven't figured out what that is from yet. I don't see that as something he will use very often. The speakers are plenty loud, although very muffled sounding. I'm just hoping that the crunching noise his foot pad makes doesn't turn into a catastrophic failure. Plus, we still have his sister's Allstar to use when we have the urge. While it's disappointing that the weight limit (160 lb) isn't as hefty as the Allstar (220 lb)-me and his father can't ride on it-boy-kid is happy with it, and that's all that matters. These are very intuitive to use, and we all figured out how to balance and roll within just a few minutes. I'm scared this will cause problems in the near future, but since the board still works like it should, my son doesn't want to return it b/c he waited long enough to find one that works. When we got it, it worked straight out of the box, although the right foot pad seems to stick/click when he first steps onto it. I didn't even pay attention to the fact that it has Bluetooth-nifty, but unnecessary. So, since this Helix one looks so cool online (white/black camo and seriously it looks just as good in person) we got it. But unfortunately the one we did happen to find had a glitch, an d we had to return it, and since it's now right after Christmas, we couldn't find another one in stock that wasn't purple (we know it's just a color, but he wanted one that didn't look like his sister's). We at first tried to find another Allstar because that his sister has one and hers has been fantastic so far (1 month).
