I do this every spring to advertise my landscaping business. I put together a street team of people on different vehicles and we get out about 5k doorhangers. My first two years I was on a hoverboard. This was very convenient in that you can step on from either side so you never have to turn it around. They really don't go fast enough, though, so I ditched this for my scooter. A one-wheel is probably your best bet. They have the speed and manuverability needed to get the job done quickly. When I go out now, I actually leave my higher end scooters at home and use my first ever scooter, the Hiboy S Pro. Why? Primarily because it is hella lightweight, which makes all the difference in the long run. I can let it simply fall on the lawn while I go to the door, or I can ride to the door, and since it weighs next to nothing it's effortless to turn around. You can pick up a Hiboy S2 for $300. Mind you, I recommend this only for flyer distribution in that it is a basic beginner scooter. It will allow you to get your job done quickly and efficiently, but it sucks for recreation.
r/ElectricScooters • An electric scooter to door hang in neighborhoods ->Try a Hi Boy S2? Great for beginners, it can go 19mph max speed but only 10miles depending on weight Eco mode goes 13MPH 17 miles distance Price is 330$ with taxes https://www.bestbuy.com/product/hiboy-s2-foldable-electric-scooter-w-17-mi-max-operating-range-19-mph-max-speed-grey/J3Q5Q3SW4Y/sku/6584165 It has no suspension and does better on flat surfaces, can do okay on minor slopes but will have to kick if going up a steeper hill
r/ElectricScooters • Scooter Advice ->HiBoy KS4 Pro for $400, or HiBoy S2 for $300 with less range. My daughter uses the S2 at college and it’s been great for her, but she only rides a few miles per day so range isn’t super important for her. But she goes days in between charging it. I use the KS4 Pro myself and I’ve been happy with it though with me being 230 pounds I don’t get terrific range out of it, especially if I’m riding up hills frequently.
r/ElectricScooters • recommend me a scooter for uni ->Hey everyone, I'm in the market for an electric scooter primarily for commuting purposes. I weigh around 230 lbs and need a scooter that offers a good range. I previously tried the HiBoy S2, but it only gave me about 6-7 miles at max speed, which isn't sufficient for my needs. I'm looking for a scooter that can provide at least 15 miles of range at top speed. My budget is around $500, and I don't require any fancy features—just reliability and sufficient range. I came across the NIU KQi3 Pro, which seems promising. However, I'm concerned about whether it can deliver the required range given my weight. Does anyone have experience with this model or can suggest alternatives that fit my criteria? Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
r/ElectricScooters • Needed Advice for Best Electric Scooter for 230lb Rider – $500 Budget, 15+ Mile Range ->I have a Hiboy S2 and I like it a lot
r/Columbus • Electric Scooter Recommendations ->Why? Cheap accessible scooter that many people bought? I’ve seen it recommended, and would recommend it as well.
r/ElectricScooters • I analyzed the 20 most recommended electric scooters on Reddit ->I've got a hiboy s2 and i basically use a combination of a u-lock and a password cable lock. But basically because scooter and bike theft is so rampant in my city i only take my scooter out and lock it up if i am somewhere where i will still be able to visually see it like with certain stores or with stores that allow me to lock it up on the inside of the entrance where security can often see the bikes/scooters but anytime i cant do that or i don't have someone else with me to watch it for me then i don't take it with me. As other comments noted, the locks help but ultimately they are just a mere deterrent but wont fully prevent theft because thieves get real dedicated coz all they need is basically enough time and they will grind or bolt cutter most locks. But yeah having said that just make sure you got at least two locks (any combination of two chain locks or a chain lock and u lock etc) and just make sure you don't gamble in certain scenarios, always go with your gut feeling if a place seems sketchy to leave your scooter/bike then it probably isn't worth taking the risk :)
r/ElectricScooters • how do you guys lock your scooter ->Eek! Just returned the Hiboy s2 (someone else was returning theirs at the same time). Rough ride! I thought I was going to chip a tooth.
r/ElectricScooters • Best Scooter for Daily Commute ->IDK if they are still under $250 but check out the Hiboy S2. It's their solid no frills entry level scooter. I started with it and put about 1500 miles on it but now run the S2R plus with over 2k miles and it's still only $400!
r/ElectricScooters • Best Electric Scooter on Amazon for Around $250? ->I loved my Apollo Pro, it was way more stable and safer feeling to ride than my new Hiboy S2. Excellent lighting and braking, usually cruising at 45mph. Soon I’ll be replacing it with the Apollo Phantom Stellar.
r/ElectricScooters • Best Scooter for Daily Commute ->Just depends bro. How much are you trying to spend and what specs are you looking for? I think if you just google best e scooters under x amount that’d be a good place to start and you can get an idea of what features you can afford for what price. For example most dual motor scooters are gonna cost more, bigger battery for more mileage costs more and makes the scooter heavier, turn signals digital cockpit etc costs more so just know what you want and how much you’ve got to spend and go from there 🤙🏾 my first scooter I got like 2 yrs ago was a Hiboy s2 it’s not bad it reads 19 on the display, rear suspension gets about 20 miles and it’s pretty light, cost 300$. I’m about to get an ausom l2 max dual motor here in a few days actually for more speed. I think for a first scooter you can find a good one for under 400 that’ll do what you need it to
r/ElectricScooters • First time looking into E-Scooters, need help and recommendations. ->Everyone is full of it - for a budget scooter go with the hiboy s2, I've put hundreds of miles on mine and zero issues, good speed, Regeneration braking, disc brakes, etc. 💯💯
r/ElectricScooters • Best Scooter for less than 500? ->You could try the HiBoy S2. That’s what I have. It has shock absorption and is built pretty solid
r/ElectricScooters • RIP to my trusty commuter scooter 💀 (Review + looking for recommendations) ->Yea that’s I hiboy s2 essentially . Total piece of $hit . It does hit 19 mph but gets about 4-5 miles max on full charge . I’m getting a ausom gallop next week.
r/ElectricScooters • Id imagine you guys are the experts on these ->I didn’t do my research like an idiot and got stuck hitting the smallest rocks and flying off the damn thing. Hiboy is Chinese junk. Sorry for venting but we gotta save this guy from buying junk
r/ElectricScooters • Id imagine you guys are the experts on these ->I know my hiboy s2 blows and was 249.00
r/ElectricScooters • Id imagine you guys are the experts on these ->The S2 was my first scooter. Gotabout 6 to 8 months of daily use out of it. Ended with an E1 error. Sold it as is. For the 400 it cost, I got my money's worth out of it.
r/ElectricScooters • Hiboy review as a delivery rider ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • I analyzed the 20 most recommended electric scooters on Reddit ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • I analyzed the 20 most recommended electric scooters on Reddit ->Brother just buy a good one used or a refurbished one maybe hiboy s2 that thing lasted me 4 years easy
r/ElectricScooters • Entry Level scooter for college ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Best electric scooter for daily work commute? ->Hiboy is best obviously
r/ElectricScooters • I analyzed the 20 most recommended electric scooters on Reddit ->The Hiboy one is 299 in Best Buy and it’s really good and fast
r/ElectricScooters • Best Under $600 ->Hiboys a known brand, they’re pretty reputable, and they’ll stand behind their warranty. You’d probably find a lot of people here who have that and love it and a few people who have it and hate it. But it’s solid if you’re just getting it to commute.
r/ElectricScooters • Need a budget e-scooter under $300 — short commute, tall rider ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
