Hiboy - Hiboy S2 Pro

Unfortunately I didn’t get the leopard. I ended up with a used HiBoyS2 Pro lol. I’m in Chicago downtown and commute to office. I’d rather wait for 2025 to get a much better electric scooter. Checkout the new Segway GT3 Pro. Or Inmotion climber. Both have similar price and spec range. Both have some real good reliability and pretty decent daily required performance. All the best man.

Left: HiBoy S2 Pro - February 2024 - ~3000 miles Middle: iSinWheel S10 Max - September 2024 - ~1500 miles Right: KuKirin G2 Master - January 2025 - ~300 miles The HiBoy is the new revision one that apparently fixed the stem snapping issue and has been very reliable to me with no maintenance needed throughout its life (The front tire needs replacing soon though). It took around 25 minutes to get to work on this scooter. I lent it to my cousin at around 1400 miles and got it back recently. The iSinWheel was pretty good until it wasn’t, with issues such as a suspension bolt coming off (should’ve tightened them all first), and the motor overheating unknowingly at around 600 miles in after going uphill in the heat, which lead to the top speed permanently reducing from 28 to 24mph on GPS (It still shows 28mph on the speedometer since it’s off by around 4mph). It took around 20 minutes to get to work on this scooter. My cousin bought it from me for $200 at around 1200 miles. The KuKirin is just incredible, rated at 37mph, yet it can reach up to 41mph with my weight on flat ground. The cable brakes aren’t amazing, but after enabling regenerative braking in the P settings, it has helped me stop faster and significantly reduce break pad wear. It’s also one of the newer revisions with little to no wobble at top speed. It takes around 15 minutes to get to work on this scooter. I could’ve gone for an Ausom Gallop, but I needed something I could actually lift into the trunk of a car. Overall, I’m enjoying this scooter a lot, and it has been replacing my car for me a lot more often compared to my other scooters I had.

The first scooter was a 19mph one, and I bought it to test the waters and ended up using it a lot more often than I thought I would. I later lent it to my cousin after upgrading. The second scooter went 28mph and I thought that would be the all I needed until the motor overheated silently and reduced the top speed to 24mph. I upgraded again after letting my cousin buy it off of me. I was already aware of regen braking causing controllers to burn out, so I set it to the lowest setting and monitored the voltage while doing so, and it seems to be a much smaller difference compared to the voltage sag, so I’m hoping it’ll be fine. The regen only starts working when you lightly press the brakes, otherwise it coasts. I’m mostly using it to compensate for the cable brakes to allow me to brake faster and save my brake pads since they wear quick on this scooter at high speeds.

I'm really enjoying my Hiboy S2 Pro. I've tried a lot of e-scooters, and this one is up there for "Best bang for your buck"!

Lol I started on that.Hiboy.S2 Pro as well. Brings.back memories.

I ended up increasing my budget and bought hiboy s2 pro. I thought I'd use it often but i used it for a month and then stopped using it lol.

Why? Cheap accessible scooter that many people bought? I’ve seen it recommended, and would recommend it as well.

27 minutes for 5.8 miles is insane! My Hiboy s2 does 8.9 in 30 with inclines included on the route

I'm doubtful of the methodology correctly identifying mentions autonomously as positive to begin with, mainly because of the Hiboy S2 appearing in the results.

Neck tube fracture is why. Every time I see that like (Hiboy S2 - not S2 Max; just S2, their xiaomioid/M365 clone, in all its zillion variants) come up in discussion it is to DISrecommend it.

do not get GOTRAX whatever you do, get a hi boy - somebody who's been through two scooters

i have a niu kqi2 pro but my friends have hi boys and they're way lighter and faster

and idk what model but they're all good

This is the correct answer. Build quality on hiboy and gotrax is not sufficient for a daily driver. You don't want to blow money? We'll this is a perfect opportunity to learn how expensive cheap can be. Warranty repair on scooters sucks. You'll at least be on the hook for shipping. Go check what it costs to ship a scooter. We'll wait. You'll be without your scooter for a minimum of 2 weeks but likely much longer. Segways aren't particularly cool looking, they're not particularly inexpensive and they are not particularly light. They're not particularly fast for compared to other scooters that are available for the same money. But they are solidly built scooters that will last if you just do the minimum amount of maintenance on them. Spend a little bit more, check your tire pressure regularly, do the basic maintenance, don't drain the battery all the way before charging and it will last you a long time. Don't ever pay list price for a Segway. If the model you want isn't on sale this week, it probably will be next week. You want reliability, not speed, not a colorful paint job, not a bunch of extra flashy lights. NIU is also a good choice. Hiboy and Gotrax make ok entry level scooters, but they are toys. They generally don't last. They're fine for light-duty recreational use. If this is something that's going to get used everyday rain or shine they're not a good choice.

Hiboy is best obviously

Do not buy from Viberide. I am getting absolutely horrible customer service and the build quality is questionable at best. Find a company like Segway or HiBoy who will actually stand behind their products and provide support.
