S2

I have a base model Hiboy that I use for this purpose, tires are solid so no flats, no thrills but does 18 mph (I weigh about 200) and folds up and you can get it on the train, I’ve even had to stand up with a crowded train and I fold it up and stand it on end with no trouble. Mine is like four years old and still runs well. I have a better scooter for long distances like when I scoot all the way to the city from home but the hiboy works best for the train, I hate bringing my big scooter on the train it sucks

Nanrobot and hiboy my kids have. Id stay away from nanrobot at least their lower models. Hiboy seems ok but these are small single motor 300 or maybe 500 watt. I have had good luck with gotrax. Lower end scooters served me well over the years just tooling around with my kids. Then this year I got a gotrax gx3 which is their best one. Love it especially offroad. I beat the shit out of it and still good. Love the tall handlebars. Then I got a faster one. I got a nami burn e3 max and that's a rocket. I think brand wise. Nami. Kaabo. And teverun have good reps.

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

350w , under 20mph. I have had many hiboys for the kids and spent plenty of time on them myself before I got bigger ones. The reason for the specs is because you can get somewhere plenty fast at 20mph and you can also get plenty hurt at 20mph. It’s enough, get the kid a helmet and gloves

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.

I have a GoTrax APEX MAX that has been awesome, and is currently on sale for $275 at Walmart. I also have a HiBoy S2 that is around the same price at BestBuy. Either scooter would be great for a 14 year old. Both of those scooters have basically the same specs as what you posted a picture of.

No problem, been using both of them for about a year without any problems. My daughter at college took the HiBoy S2 with her and she uses it to get from her apartment to around campus. I weigh 225 pounds and both the S2 and Apex MAX work well for me as well, though at my weight they don’t do very well on steep hills. But my 11 year old son has been riding the Apex MAX since last Christmas and he loves it. One other thing they both have in common, along with the one you pictured in your post, is solid tires. I personally specifically picked scooters with solid tires instead of pneumatic air filled tires because the solid tires won’t pop. When the pneumatic tires pop it can be a total pain in the ass to fix. Solid tires are a bumpier ride, but to me the trade off is well worth it to not have to deal with flat tires.

A couple last things I’ll mention about the HiBoy S2 and Gotrax Apex MAX are the following. Lighting - The S2 has an awesome lighting system with red LED lights on the side in addition to headlight and taillight. Looks super cool at night (see pictures in reviews on BestBuy’s website). The Apex Max only has a headlight and taillight. Mileage counter - the S2 doesn’t keep track of the miles you’ve ridden, while the APEX MAX keeps track of the current ride distance as well as total miles. We’ve ridden our Apex Max a total of 475 miles in the last year according to its counter. Battery life - the Apex Max seems to get better battery life with me riding it compared to the S2, but they are both more than adequate.

Quite a few choices under $500. Start with BestBuy and Walmart. I’d suggest something with at least 350 watt motor. I ride scooters with my 11 year old son, and my daughter has one at college. Here are what we have and they’re all good as far as we’re concerned. My son and I have ridden 400-500 miles according to the odometer on the Apex Max. Gotrax Apex Max HiBoy S2 HiBoy KS4 Pro One thing I’ll note is that all three have solid/honeycomb tires, and I actually prefer it that way. It’s been awesome not having to deal with popped tires. Also, if a scooter got stolen or vandalized I won’t feel as bad compared to if I had bought more expensive ones.

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!

Nice! I’m looking at buying one of these and I also weigh close to 230 so this was timely! I bought a Hiboy S2 recently as a last-mile type thing to go home from the EV charger a mile away, and it’s ideal for that, being $300 and 30 lbs. What I didn’t expect was how much fun it would be to ride! Now I want something with more range just to cruise around on for fun, and it would be cool to have 2 scooters in case my GF or friend wants to go for a scoot. I’m probably gonna get the pro soon.
