   smooth to operate – September 30, 2021

   I have edited this review on Dec. 15th 2021 and April 26, 2022. I got it delivered on Sept. 30th 2021I am a disabled Vet and needed something to get around Downtown Seattle and transit with. I’m kinda gimpy. So walking and carrying is tough for me. It hurts…lolAssembly w/seat is very simple. The app download is very simple. Settings are very simple.I am 5’9 235 lbs. it goes 15 MPH on flats, and less on modest inclines >6-7% grade. You may get a 15% grade if you are >180 lbs. Otherwise it’s > 9-12% grade, and if you are low on power (> 50%) you’ll notice it degrades just slightly on speed and torque. 5-6 MPH is what I get on 13% grade @235 lbs.The seat is the game changer! Buy a seat. You will enjoy your ride so much more and you’ll want to ride more often.Lights are bright and the scooter is super stable at speed.Overall, it’s a very nice scooter. It gets me to all the places I need to go within a 5 mile radius. The regen brake didn’t do much it seemed. EDIT: I was WRONG. I am in a new area/address. It’s nothing but hills. I can go 7 miles round trip in downtown Seattle. I have had it to 31 MPH. The regen brakes are relevant for sure at those speeds. I can tell because I get 3 charge bars w/o an issue. It’s prolly 4-5 bars but at those speeds I am not looking down, I am way ahead with my eyes. At 20 mph I glance. 3 bars. DO NOT go faster than 20 unless you have nerves of steel, fast reflexes and years of riding experience. I did it once so you don’t have to.I found this scooter w/seat for $394.70 “used” at Amazon.com. I feel that it’s an amazing bargain for this scooter for that price.I had no surprise issues with the scooter being “used”. The carton appeared compromised at the corner, the styrofoam corner bumper packing had been worn like it was drug on the ground. It was missing the manual. The manual is online. The scooter is like new. Everything was original packing except for the cord twist ties and the shipping box. I am super pleased with my purchase.Range is greatly increased when you run 1/2 throttle. Set cruise control at 10 MPH and comfort mode to start. Finding Google map routes that are not steep hills is the best route. Be careful in the wet with street painted stripes and idiot bumps. It’s a bit clunky to commute with at first. I am a pro now after 3 weeks. You must fold and carry it everywhere on buses.It’s great for running to the store for milk and bread! It’s terrific for little trips! You’ll get noticed for sure. Everyone loves the scooter. I let all the adults ride it around the lot, up and down the street. Everyone wants one and suddenly comes up with a shaky reason why they MUST own one. “It’ll help me get more work done” w/o actually being able to state exactly what work it would help with.The shock absorbers are really nice. If they are too stiff. Adjust them. You should be getting a nice cushioned rebound. Not bottoming out or too stiff/no flex at all. If it’s properly adjusted, you will get a nice rebound when you sit down. Mine came adjusted too tight, but broke in nicely. I wear a backpack with 20 lbs. Total weight is 250-260 lbs. and I get a nice comfy smooth absorption and rebound.The hook on the handlebars is perfect for a full bag of groceries if you are seated and your knees naturally keep the bag centered. It’s very easy actually.It is about as waterproof as you can get. Everything is sealed nicely. Seattle weather doesn’t seem to bother it at all.It is an unbelievably necessary piece of equipment for me now. Uber and rental share scooters are spendy. My scooter has saved wear and tear on my knees and hips. I actually go out and do more things now because of money saved and the convenience. In Seattle I go faster than traffic often. I stay with traffic going downhill. DO NOT do that because it’s really sketchy unless you really know what you are doing. The thing turns on a dime if you have good turning technique. It turns well for novices and up though even if you have poor technique.Safety tip: You can under extreme circumstances “Bunny Hop” the scooter if you are about to bury the front tire and go head over tea kettle. The handle bars will not fail you. Summary…I am getting an s2 Pro for Christmas.I have had to use Hiboy customer service 3 times now. I can not say enough good things about the folks at Hiboy. The customer service is as good as I’ve ever had anywhere. Anywhere! It’s been a real treat to work with them. Parts come from California in 2-3 days.The scooter is easy to work on. Being disabled it means a lot to me. I am dirt poor and need to fix things if I can. I can work on this scooter and fix just about anything on it w/o any trouble. It’s really satisfying to fix something yourself. This little scooter is incredibly empowering!You are not going to find a better product for a better price with better customer service anywhere else. This scooter is worth every penny. The customer service is priceless.

   ABE – December 1, 2022

   I won’t say 5 stars means it’s the best EV scooter out there, but it is exactly what we wanted for our 12 year old son. We bought him a Razor EV scooter rated for 12mph and that thing barely could move him (130lbs) up a 5 degree slope.So we returned the Razor and purchased the Hiboy S2. It was on sale but slightly higher than the price advertised today. We chose the S2 because it came with solid non-inflatable tires, 19mph, 17 mile range.It has enough power and torque to drive up a 20 degree inclined street with a bit of degradation at the top of the hill. Coming down the same hill we cn mx out at 23 mph. On flat surfaces it does reach 19 mph.Battery life is quite good. Don’t know exact miles per charge but it does hold the charge over 40 minutes of riding. At constant 19 mph, it should take you about 53 minutes to reach 17 miles max range.It recharges without any issue so far. Hope to keep the battery life healthy by charging it once month during the winter season.There are two speeds built in the app where you can set max speed to 13 mph or 19 mph. For the first week my snows riding around set to 13 mph. Once he got used to the scooter he rode it at full 19 mph. It also has electric braking which I think helps to recharge the battery – like in F1 cars. He has to kick start the scooter for it to start moving. The throttle won’t engage unless the scooter starts moving. This feature prevents it from starting suddenly from a full stop.Build quality is excellent. When compared to the Gotrax scooters, the main steering tube is smaller in diameter than the Gotrax, and the deck is much thicker then Gotrax. Gotrax houses the batteries in the steering tube while the Hiboy is under the deck. The Gotrax looks more streamed lined but both equally built well.So far the solid tires have been holding up but showing some wear. We may have to get new tires sometime mid season next year.We bough this Hiboy because my 12 year old is 130lbs and 5’2″. Any other kids EV scooter would not be ideal for him. Note that the steering tube is taller on the adult S2 than kids size. I would not recommend for kids under 5 ft tall. Always wear a helmet.
