I'm used to motorcycles and bicycles, handling 2 wheels. I have used the Hiboy S2 for 3 months now. I love it, I can break loose on the wheels and still recover, she does run at a good 17mph. I've always had bikes, I no longer choose the bike, I choose the kick-ass Hiboy S2. it's simply more fun than a bicycle.
The scooter is a must buy if you're looking to get a electric . Sure it's not super fast, but if you've never ridden an electric scooter before then the top speed of this one will be well in your range of comfort because it goes almost 20 mph and I can assure you unless you're trying to race to get where you're going and enjoy the ride for $300 I can't stress how much this is in a bargain for you to buy I'm not even part of the company. I'm just someone who's been using the scooter for over a month driving it to work every day and so forth and I'm about 40 pounds over the weight limit and it rides fine fine. The battery doesn't last as long because I'm a little heavy and it uses more power for me to get places but the battery still does what I needed to do. I think I'll get about 10 miles out of it and this is an older scooter that I have. It's old and like I said I'm fat lol but nonetheless if you're looking for a scooter range, this is a bargain for 299. I just stoppederror code I try to figure it out and see what to do. I think it's a wire in the handle that's messed up. I don't know. I might be out of luck, but that's not the scooters fault.
Just got this for commuting in downtown Chicago based off of your review and couldn't be happier! As a former bike courier, this scooter has been an absolute revelation, I love zipping around and feel so much more freedom from my bicycle.
I purchased this scooter for $30. On Craigslist.. aside from needing replacement parts like the motor, headlight and throttle total cost of $150. I couldn't be happier, scooter does ride stiff tho! Adjusting the suspension help soften the ride quality..
okay, i took the bite and bought one (a refurbished one) and i got for only under 190 due to sales and honey's online code. so can't wait for it to come here :) this scooter looks so fun!
I work with Wago connectors, you've got to dig deep and put pressure n the tool towards the right to stick those wago connectors in the Block.. Life sucks, but you need to be good at everything to survive. Lets make 120vac from transformers and car alternators and paddles using a water stream.
Nice review. I like the breaks where they are located on the handlebar. I only wish the bell was somewhere else, it is not that easy to ring it. I would like it to be on the left side and able to ring it with the thumb. Also, I wish the app showed distance and time.
Max ride capacity is stated as the max weight a rider can be and still be able to hit the stated performance stats. It doesn't mean the scooter will break if you're a few pounds over that number. It just means you won't be able to go as fast up hills, and your range will be less (sometimes significantly) than the stated range estimates.
Is the S2 pro worth the extra $150? I’m leaning towards just buying the S2, but I don’t want to regret “skimping out.” The S2 pro does have the 500 watt motor (vs the 350 watt motor on the S2). It also has 10” wheels (vs 8.5” wheels). The only other feature the S2 Pro has is 25 mile range vs the 17 mile range of the S2. Are all these features worth the extra money?
I’m in the same boat. The S2 seems good but when I look back on many previous purchases I have wished that I dished out a little more for the better model. There is an S2 Plus also with a little more range & a removable battery which is very convenient & advantageous. You can use that extra money & get a 2nd battery so you on effect double the range. That’s why I’m leaning on getting the S2 Plus. The KS4 models are other ones to consider too. Sometimes I dislike having so many choices!😆
@@KenjiMapes I ended up buying the S2 Pro, my dad bought an S2. We use them to get around the state camp grounds. By the end of the day, mine will have 2-3 battery bars left, his will be drained. On top of that, mine is substantially better at climbing hills (due to the 500 watt motor) and it’s better on rough terrain (due to the larger wheels). If I were to recommend one between the S2 and S2 Pro, I’d go with the S2 Pro, 100% of the time. I will say, you definitely can feel every bump you drive over in both scooters (though it is slightly less in the S2 Pro because of the larger wheels). Personally, it doesn’t bother me at all, but I could see why that would be important to someone. I like the fact that both scooters have solid wheels so you never have to worry about a flat. I got my S2 Pro for $450 during their “back to school sale” and bought from their company through Amazon. I had no issues with my purchase, but other reviews say not to buy through Amazon.
They need to be better with their customers. Email after email goes unanswered and the guy that answers the phone just says “email us with questions”. Gave us a tracking number that was a year old and didn’t work. Took 2 weeks to ship. The K4 pro is nice though. Nicer than the unagi.
I LLOOVVEE my Hiboy S2! She takes me to work everyday without complaining: I throw her on the charger 3 times a day:1 at Home and 1 when I show up to work and gas her up when I come home from work and she is charged up for me when I need her again... commute or pleasure. I takes 2 to 3 Bars for my commute to work everyday I LOVE the colored bars cause it indicates how Home to motor is/isn't working and the break regeneration it has!! Oh, I feel the asphalt too. This Scooter exceeded my expectations by far.... I would buy it again for my nephew!!
@fopal-gang7108 No, not at all! As long as you don't keep discharging and charging it to 100% ALL THE TIME (I heard that often shortens Battery life) I use 3 Bars on the meter max on the Scooter!
5:48 - Every rider will be a position where they only have one hand on the handlebar. Seems logical to have access to the brakes if you find yourself in trouble at the exact moment you have your cell phone in your left hand...
I have a different viewpoint than yours regarding the effectiveness of the disc brake in quickly stopping the scooter. In my opinion, the disc brake doesn't contribute significantly to the braking process. When you pull the brake lever, both the electronic regen brake and the disc brake are activated simultaneously. The sensation of stopping that you experience is primarily the result of the regen brake, rather than the disc brake. To validate my point, you can try pulling the lever with the scooter turned off. In this scenario, the regen brake would be inactive, but the disc brake would still function. If you ride the scooter downhill, you will notice that the disc brake alone operates weakly in this situation. Additionally, you may observe that the rear wheel easily locks up without significantly halting the scooter's motion.
I think something is wrong with your disc brake. I have an S2 Pro, and the disc brake will pitch you over the handlebars if you hit it hard. It is the most powerful brake. The regen brake is the better one to use because it slows you down at a moderate clip, much less extreme than the disc brake. You might say the regen brake is the measured slow down.
@@justinzinn7109 If you turn off the scooter, ride the scooter downhill like a manual scooter to a moderate speed, then apply the disc brake. Do you feel the braking still as strong or does the rear wheel just lock up and skid?
need it to go from parking lot to work, its about 1 mile distance. The lite one is only 21lbs vs the Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter which is 31.9lbs. Can I ride this when rainning?
The scooter does infact hit 19 miles an hour but the ride quality is absolutely awful. The back rattles and doesn’t stop I hit the smallest rock and I flipped and cracked my tooth. Also before I had the same scooter and it just didn’t work and smoked out not a very good scooter
i've had a good experience with this scooter. People buy solid tire scooters for one reason. Flat tires are a pain in the ass to change. I may consider upgrading to a front suspension to help a little. I tend to put my weight at the rear of the scooter as there are shocks at the back.
Wear proper gear, helmet, glasses, bike gloves, bright colors, and communication. Then don't go faster then 4 to 5 though potholes. Slow down if your getting run off the road, do t drive like an asshole and this won't happen.
I've had the hiboy s2, for 15 months, its an amazing comutor scooter, well built and reliable, the only things i think need improving are brighter headlights and front suspension, other then that its an awesome and affordable scooter, p.s if hiboy need anyone to review their products let me know, i would jump at the chance to test their products

I love my hiboy s2'pro, rough ride but everything elss amazing!!
Agreed. You should check out my latest review on the Gyrocopters PLAID scooter. Will definitely solve your rough ride issue 😃
Just got this for commuting in downtown Chicago based off of your review and couldn't be happier! As a former bike courier, this scooter has been an absolute revelation, I love zipping around and feel so much more freedom from my bicycle.
The rear brakes being on the right makes way more sense to me, that's how bikes work in the US.
Hi I have the Hiboy s2 and I love it. Can you please right to Hiboy and asked them to put mileage on the app. But is great 👏🏽 👏🏽
I wish it had the mileage on the app too.
That a be great!, pluse colorful led lights like the okai

100% agree! The app should be a bit better and the bell positioning isn't that great. Overall, a good escooter though!

best 1 i watched about the s2 yet
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate you!
Why do all the reviews on here say the payload is 260 lbs but the website says 220?

I find one handed riding on this scooter almost impossible. Balancing is much harder on these flatproof tires than I expected.
Great video
Love this scooter
I’m not able to download the app because it says it’s unavailable in my region. I’m in the US. Any ideas how to fix it?
Get a VPN and put it to us server and try that
Proton VPN is good I use it too
Nice video 🙏
Where do you charge on the road?? Restaurants? Stores?

Hi it is not recommended being near water but I have driven it in the rain multiple times
can you not swap the brake handle to the other side? looks like you can change that
I don't think so, at least not easily.
Can u get this in England
Do you guys consider the pole/deck is high on the hiboy? i am concern about the height since i am quite tall and short arms lol
im 6'1 and it seems to be the perfect height for myself
I'm 5'8" it feels comfortable to me
Review the Smoosat SA3 electric scooter next please
