Hiboy - MAX Pro

I tried one of these then rushed into buying my own , I bought the Hiboy Max Pro which is 48v single motor which goes faster than the Lime rental at 35kph top speed on the flat if u weight less than 180lbs. However I was bored & frustrated with it after a few days, my area has lots of hills & going uphill just annoyed me it really struggled to the point stopping 😤 I sent it back after 2weeks . Bought myself a Dual motor Scooter….. now I can go anywhere. If u initially buy a cheaper scooter buy one that has quite few other more expensive brands of the same style of scooter like the Kukirin G3 Pro …this means it will be easier to upgrade the parts in the future if u wanted too…for me a removable battery is a deal breaker as u can take it with u & charge it anywhere. 🛴💨

The Hiboy Max Pro has a range of 46.6 miles and a top speed of 22 mph. I’ve been using it for my total 6.5-mile commute to work, and it’s a smooth ride with my weight being 180 pounds. I purchased it for $600 in October, though it’s currently listed on sale for $720. Let me know if you have any questions. Edit: There’s an additional $80 off coupon right now.

I’ve heard bad things about Hiboy scooters but this model is actually really good in quality.

It is a super annoying thing. Went to a scooter store just yesterday to ask myself the question: "does suspension really make that big a difference" and after trying a couple, the answer was a resounding "yes". i tried out the hiboy max pro in person. thing felt like i was riding a cloud. specs are fairly similar to the niu kqi3 max i have been riding for the last 8 months, but if you asked reddit here almost everyone has something negative to say about hiboy. took my research to youtube and you get maybe 8 or 9 videos that spend at least half or more of it reading the same bullet points as everyone else, and literally every reviewer remarks about how hiboy just sent it to them to keep for free. it's really tough trying to get an unbiased real world take on nearly everything out there. i ended up pulling the trigger on it, but only because I was so fed up with almost zero real info on the thing that I figured I'd take one for the team and spread the good or bad word whichever the case may be.

had the kqi3 max for almost 700 miles, thing is still strong and no popped or punctured tires that whole time. i had to sidegrade to something with suspension because the ride to work is just so bumpy. love the max, but no suspension was killing me. got a hiboy max pro and while it's a little slower, way better smoother ride. for 600 dollars that thing is a steal.

Hiboy Max Pro. Its like a tank, tops put at 22mph, has a rated 46 miles range, but real world 30-35 miles, 500w motor that tops out at 650w, 11” tires, and I just surpassed 1100 miles on mine I have had since early April. On Amazon its like $650-$799 and depending on if theres a promo or not.

OP, go look at the posts I made in this sub about my scooter. I included many pics of it. It fits your criteria. And its served me very well. Its well built, I just passed 1100 miles on it since April which shows it can handle lots of rides. I have only had to replace the inner tubes once. The brakes are getting close to needing replacement but still have some time with those. I weigh 245lbs, but the scooters weight limit is 265, and you can get it on Amazon right now for like $650 and read the reviews there as well, just about every person that got one is happy, and the customer service is pretty good. Ive only had to contact them once and they set me right with zero issues.

Wrong. I have a Hiboy Max Pro that cost $659 now. I got mine in April and just passed 1100 total miles on it. I weigh 250lbs and it handles my weight well, and is built like a tank. Just say you dont know rather than saying it doesn’t exist. In fact theres quite a few options for this price range.

Just say you dont know rather than saying they dont exist, I can think of a handful of scooters off the top of my head that fit OP’s description as well as the scooter I have as my daily driver I just surpassed 1100 miles on (since April).

How is it worlds apart? Just say you don’t know rather than being ignorant. Theres a few scooters that fit his description. The one I have actually fits his description, the Hiboy Max Pro. Its weight limit is 265lbs, has a rated range of 46 miles (real world 30-35 miles), built like a tank, and has big 11” tires. This is what annoys me about people in this sub. Rather than just say they dont have an answer people just get rude or tell those asking that theres no such thing. Be better.

Boy I can see you are very mature. Uh no, nobody triggered and you are entitled to your opinion even if you are unqualified to make such an opinion. If you haven’t used a certain brand you aren’t qualified to make an opinion and don’t go acting like you’ve had one now. I do recommend it because their quality has improved exponentially since 2022, and I just surpassed 1100 miles on mine and have only needed to inner tubes cause by self inflicted flat tires. I am qualified to have an opinion and do recommend them. All you do when you comment like that is make yourself look like an ignorant elitist and this sub has had a problem with people like you for a long while even the Mod will agree on, because they have.

Check Electric Scooter Guide, they have genuine reviews. A lot of videos on YouTube are actually sponsored by the manufacturer of the scooter in the video but they make it in a way to make it seem organic. For instance my particular scooter has such videos about it, but also actual genuine videos and those are the ones that helped me make my choice (Hiboy Max Pro). There's lots of videos one who is aware can see were paid by Hiboy to make, and a few that were not (Sincloth, Ginger on Wheels, Camera Conspiracies to name a few genuine organic videos), but I also got my scooter because there's organic reviews online too that were honest about the scooter. But you can always tell the inorganic videos from the organic ones. Inorganic videos will splash on lots of praise and maybe 1 or 2 negative things to make it seem organic but those negatives are usually something so infetisimally minor. Organic ones usually have a comparison to another scooter, have equal pros and cons (everything even the best have pros and cons), and don't feel like freaking commercials. But yeah, I wouldn't call them shills though. You can't tell me that if a scooter manufacturer sent you a scooter and a check and asked you to make a video that you wouldn't do it. Many would, I would however they probably wouldn't approve my videos because I would be honest. It's just people trying to make a buck and I'm not mad at them for that. I think it's incumbent upon the consumer to smarten up anyway and to stop allowing any kind of marketing from fooling them without doing any basic research. For instance Samsung makes a lot of videos for their phones that seem like they're organic and from actual creator personalities, but they're not. But many Smartphone consumers nowadays are wise to this and you will seem comments (if they're turned on) that will call out thie video for this. You don't see this on the scooter videos because not enough consumers are wise to it yet. So those who know need to help educate consumers without insulting their intelligence. When someone asks a question that seems dumb, it may not seem so to the asker but too many in this sub will insult their intelligence. Help them find the right videos.

Hiboy Max Pro, Hiboy S2 Max, Gotrax Eclipse, Kukirin M4/M4 Pro. The Hiboy Max Pro is probably the best value. I have had mine since April and have put over 1000 miles on it already. Only had to replace the tires due to wear, but that's it. Runs great, has suspension, is built like a tank, reaches 22mph with a 500/650watt rear motor and cost like $650 on Amazon now.

wow did not see this, might cancel my KQi3Max order. The hiboy is $640 or $90 cheaper, with slightly higher range but slightly lower speed. weighs 5lbs more than the KQi3Max. It seems to have a 4.3 on 667 ratings vs a 4.2 rating on 136 ratings om amzn. Not sure if I should change to the hiboy I also keep hearing about how bad niu customer service is, and their low parts availability. But im also reading niu is a higher quality brand.

i just canceled my NIU KQi3Max order, and ordered the Hiboy Max Pro. The big reason was the suspension, and $90 cheaper, and NIU seems to have bad customer service

Im 39, does that count? Get a scooter sir. It will change your life. You will have a TON of fun. I have 3 scooters that are each unique in their style and purpose. One of them (my HiBoy Max Pro) stays in the trunk of my car for many reasons. Being made in China is not a bad thing. Just like anything and anywhere in the world, you have poor quality and great quality. You have terrible customer support and excellent customer support. You really have to check out user experiences for each scooter brand (all 8 million of them) and see how the quality and support is (bearing in mind that everyone uses their scooters differently - ie I maintain my scooters every weekend religiously). It's kinda not fair to just generalize a country's manufacturing quality when practically everything we use and consume is MADE IN CHINA. You will find the same with scooters. My hiBoy scooter looks great and has easy parts to swap. The customer service is alright but anything I need is covered under a warranty (Havent had to use it yet). My Bikydom Q06 pro is an unknown brand that has basically slapped its name on the Kugookirin Q06pro with a few minor upgrades. Its a beast that goes 45+ mph and I'm practically best friends with their support. Anything I have needed, they asked no questions in supplying. I had a tire pop (the nail was huge as I drove in an industrial neighborhood so it wasn't under warranty) and they sent me a replacement for half off within 5 days. A lot of other companies may take longer but I got lucky. That is to say, even though I never heard of the Q06pro, their customer support has been unrivaled. And thats in comparison to customer support to anything I have owned. I would recommend renting a scooter first and see how you feel. Most likely you will want something faster and last longer than you think you do now. I made that happy mistake and 3 scooters later I got a beast that I ride every single day to work and just go out riding. My wife says that she has never seen me be so obsessed about anything like I have with scooters. I tell her its because it kinda reminds me of riding bikes as a kid, but with a motor and the speed, I get to ride like a bad boy lol. I spend equal times tinkering with my scooters as I do riding them. Accessories I have added have started at cellphone holders and bags, up to gopro cams and rear view cameras. I love it man. Dip your toe in and see if you can rent one first just to get a feel. P.S. There are a lot of great scooter companies out there like Minimotors series, Dualtrons, Kaabo, etc. But don't let anyone tell you those are the ONLY scooters you should consider. If you don't want to tinker with your scooter on your own, get something popular with a strong warranty and customer support like the companies I mentioned above. If you want to customize, work on your own scooter, etc? Look at other options with tons of reviews and read them thoroughly! Hope that helps!

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

Skip the HiBoy for sure. Segway makes pretty good stuff, but NIU is absolutely killing it in the lightweight single engine segment. Nice scooters with good build quality and some innovative features.

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.
