The HCF Cute 4 Wheeler, also called the HCF 301 is slightly different
than many of the scooters that we typically review here. The main
difference that is apparent is that the Cute 4 Wheeler has one wheel
in the front and 3 wheels in the back. This provides the rider with
good added stability and also makes the scooter look pretty good. It
also makes the scooter a little less compact - it is difficult to
quickly avoid pedestrians on a sidewalk or a narrow space becasue of
the extra space needed to clear the wheels. So the HCF Cute 4 Wheeler
can be used in crowded areas, but requires a little bit more navigation
and patience than other, thiner scooters. The tires are on the
scooter are pretty large at 12.5 inches - this allows a rider to safety
navigate rougher road surfaces.
In terms of speed, the HFC 4 Wheeler provides good speed at just under
16mph. This speed is sufficient for most short trips around the
neighborhood or to the store. The speed, howerever is not suffcient
to blend in with traffic on most major roads so any rider riding the
scooter on a road will need to be somewhat careful. The scooter also
goes a good ways on a battery charge. The charge range is about 16
miles - this provides a good deal of range and makes the scooter
suitable for medium legnth commutes through urban areas. The scooter
is also great for travel along paved paths or roads that are not well
traveled. The scooter also comes standard with a basket so it is
indicative of what the designers had in mind for its uses.
The HCF Cute 4 Wheeler electric scooter is not a scooter designed to
be picked up and carried. The scooter weighs just over 117 pounds
with the battery and is pretty heavy. The scooter can be folded down
for compact storage and will fit into some vehicles. When it is folded,
the longest dimension is 48 inches. This will fit into most trucks or
vehicles. The scooter should generally be used like a motorcycle, not
a kick scooter because of its heavy weight and somewhat larger dimensions.
Overall we found the HCF Cute 4 Wheeler to be refreshing in its design.
It will work well for people looking to take it on recreational outings,
commutes, or trips. However this scooter is not a kid's scooter.
