   Let’s start with why it got overall 4 stars when other parts got 5. Foremost I still LOVE this scooter and use it daily. This first part isn’t an issue for anyone knowledgeable with bikes, scooters, or other precision instruments, but most are not, Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance.A lot of screws were loose upon arrival, including two screws under that orange reflective panel that covers the back wheel, which I never knew existed without extensive research. Two of the 6 under those reflective panels were partially stripped as well. Any experienced owner uses Loctite to create a seal you can break and keep all the screws tightened until you choose to take them out (you want resealable Loctite, not the super glue. I believe its 242-b but don’t quote me. There’s different kinds of Loctite for different purposes so if you’re not sure ask someone working at the local hardware store/automotive store for more info) This means without maintenance risks go up more you use it without taking care of it. This is not a toy it hits 20 MPH and can be very dangerous. The average person may not know all of this so I hope it helps!Second another reason i gave it the 4 is the rattles and knocks. While I gave this up and down inspection it still rattles. I’m fully confident of it, think it’s the wires loose and knocking, but the clicks, creaks, and rattles can be annoying more than detrimental. I just feel at this price point that shouldn’t happen serious or not. Ill also have to say I ride Pretty rough sidewalks a lot when I ride on a soft road its much less noticeable. Our city has awful sidewalks so that’s probably not the scooters fault really.Now onto other things I can praise on this.Average I’m 175ish pounds with camera gear lets say 200ish pounds (i use this for urban adventures and photography) I still can easily hit 19/20 mph and still get 10 miles range or so per charge When I’m gunning full speed. This changes to 12.5-13 miles range if more like 10-12 mph speed is okay. You get an app on smartphone that can customize all sorts of different things. My tip reduce acceleration speed and put the electronic brake all the way up. you also can push it manually since the wheels are well aligned (after some break tweaking which is easy)Between manual pushing and the electronic brake it’ll help replenish battery life, which I don’t think I’ve seen on a scooter in this range.Other features include a decent headlight and tail light for being technically legal at night. I put an extra light and tail light on for that case, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use it at night when needed.I took a risk and bought an extra battery on purchase and that’s the thing I will never regret. 25-26 miles max per 2 batteries and the ability to change the battery when its dying, it’s simply the best. Its the main reason I chose this dude. The rubberized tires make for a rattling ride at high speeds, but I chose this for overall distance. Random other notes its pretty small folded, but a lil heavy. Still compact enough to leave with a cashier at the store vs locking it up. Its a wonderful little ride with some criticisms, but I cant insult it when I have had such impressive results. If I’m pushing it I can easily take my photography equipment and the extra battery with no problems, yet I only needed the extra battery twice.one year update. still going strong surprisingly. maintenance is required often if you use it as much as i do, but batteries are still holding a charge and I’m still getting consistent speeds. its a tough little scooter. its light enough to carry around even an uber or bus, I actually have local grocery stores and choose to use this vs my car for small trips as it saves a ton of gas especially during laundry mat trips. I try to stay shy of the max speeds as the battery drains fast. it goes 18-19mph reduce that to 14-16mph and you get a lot more out of it including acceleration speed and battery life. The app is so incredibly useful too as you can tweak so many specifics like speed braking acceleration etc, but that’s old news in my old review.. for a 500 dollar scooter I’m shocked, I betted maybe 6 months. if a few bumps due to lack on suspension doesn’t bother you get it (that too is avoided by slowing down for potholes and ramps) all and all for its price range its very well worth it with the extra battery

   This scooter has become my favorite mode of transportation to get around my neighborhood because of its smooth ride, ruggedness, easy handling and customizable options. Wanting to save on gas and use wear and tear on my vehicle, I was looking for an electric scooter go between my home, my daughter’s home and my daughter’s school—which are all within a 3-mile radius. My research led me to narrow down my wants in a scooter to have solid (not air-filled) wheels, lights and a detachable battery. Finding the Hiboy S2R fit my criteria along with many positive reviews, I pulled the trigger. The scooter is easily put together when it first arrives, can be folded quickly for storage and setting up the controls on the app or control panel is straight forward. The battery life is long lasting and the battery is also powerful. Although mine is usually set on the “Sport” mode—which drains the battery quicker of course—I can make my daily 3-mile round trip to and from my daughter’s home and school while she rides her bike at least 4 times before needing to fully recharge the battery. This scooter handles hills much better than I had anticipated, routinely being able to reach 11-12 mph even on the steep hill leading up to my daughter’s school. On the straightaways it will get up to 19 mph. The sleek design is eye-catching, but I found that while riding over bumpy sidewalks the screws holding the handle will come out. Hiboy supplies 2 extra screws in the initial packaging, but because of the rough sidewalks I have already had to use both in the six weeks my daughter and I have been riding to school together. Thankfully, when I reached out to Hiboy about getting replacement screws they were very helpful in figuring out the exact parts I needed and sent two replacement sets of screws free of charge. The customer service representative routinely reached out to me via email to let me know the status of the replacement screws and if there was anything else I needed for my scooter. In retrospect, the only thing I would do differently with my purchase would be to get a Hiboy scooter with air-filled tires instead of the solid wheels. Perfect for my scootering needs!
