FAQ

Halo is available in a compliant 250W public-road configuration. Higher-output/private-property options need to be used according to local rules.

The Hamax rear child seat and our child trailers fit Alpha V3, Nova V3, Halo and ADO Air One Ultra. Alpha V3 also offers a front child-seat option; Halo and One Ultra do not.
