   Great scooter for modest hills. Great commuter scooter for Busses, trains, etc.
   It delivered on Sept. 30th 2021. I have edited this review on Dec. 15th 202 April 26, 2022 & Nov. 4, 2023.I am a disabled Vet and needed something to get around Downtown Seattle and transit with. I’m kinda gimpy. So walking and carrying is tough for me. It hurts…lolAssembly w/seat is very simple. The app download is very simple. Settings are very simple.I am 5’9 235 lbs. it goes 15 MPH on flats, and less on modest inclines >6-7% grade. You may get a 15% grade if you are >180 lbs. Otherwise it’s > 9-12% grade, and if you are low on power (> 50%) you’ll notice it degrades just slightly on speed and torque. 5-6 MPH is what I get on 13% grade @235 lbs.The seat is the game changer! Buy a seat. You will enjoy your ride so much more and you’ll want to ride more often.Lights are bright and the scooter is super stable at speed.Overall, it’s a very nice scooter. It gets me to all the places I need to go within a 5 mile radius. The regen brake didn’t do much it seemed. EDIT: I was WRONG. I am in a new area/address. It’s nothing but hills. I can go 7 miles round trip in downtown Seattle. I have had it to 31 MPH. The regen brakes are relevant for sure at those speeds. I can tell because I get 3 charge bars w/o an issue. It’s prolly 4-5 bars but at those speeds I am not looking down, I am way ahead with my eyes. At 20 mph I glance. 3 bars. DO NOT go faster than 20 unless you have nerves of steel, fast reflexes and years of riding experience. I did it once so you don’t have to.I found this scooter w/seat for $394.70 “used” at Amazon.com. I feel that it’s an amazing bargain for this scooter for that price.I had no surprise issues with the scooter being “used”. The carton appeared compromised at the corner, the styrofoam corner bumper packing had been worn like it was drug on the ground. It was missing the manual. The manual is online. The scooter is like new. Everything was original packing except for the cord twist ties and the shipping box. I am super pleased with my purchase.Range is greatly increased when you run 1/2 throttle. Set cruise control at 10 MPH and comfort mode to start. Finding Google map routes that are not steep hills is the best route. Be careful in the wet with street painted stripes and idiot bumps. It’s a bit clunky to commute with at first. I am a pro now after 3 weeks. You must fold and carry it everywhere on buses.It’s great for running to the store for milk and bread! It’s terrific for little trips! You’ll get noticed for sure. Everyone loves the scooter. I let all the adults ride it around the lot, up and down the street. Everyone wants one and suddenly comes up with a shaky reason why they MUST own one. “It’ll help me get more work done” w/o actually being able to state exactly what work it would help with.The shock absorbers are really nice. If they are too stiff. Adjust them. You should be getting a nice cushioned rebound. Not bottoming out or too stiff/no flex at all. If it’s properly adjusted, you will get a nice rebound when you sit down. Mine came adjusted too tight, but broke in nicely. I wear a backpack with 20 lbs. Total weight is 250-260 lbs. and I get a nice comfy smooth absorption and rebound.The hook on the handlebars is perfect for a full bag of groceries if you are seated and your knees naturally keep the bag centered. It’s very easy actually.It is about as waterproof as you can get. Everything is sealed nicely. Seattle weather doesn’t seem to bother it at all.It is an unbelievably necessary piece of equipment for me now. Uber and rental share scooters are spendy. My scooter has saved wear and tear on my knees and hips. I actually go out and do more things now because of money saved and the convenience. In Seattle I go faster than traffic often. I stay with traffic going downhill. DO NOT do that because it’s really sketchy unless you really know what you are doing. The thing turns on a dime if you have good turning technique. It turns well for novices and up though even if you have poor technique.Safety tip: You can under extreme circumstances “Bunny Hop” the scooter if you are about to bury the front tire and go head over tea kettle. The handle bars will not fail you. Summary…I am getting an s2 Pro for Christmas.I have had to use Hiboy customer service 3 times now. I can not say enough good things about the folks at Hiboy. The customer service is as good as I’ve ever had anywhere. Anywhere! It’s been a real treat to work with them. Parts come from California in 2-3 days.The scooter is easy to work on. Being disabled it means a lot to me. I am dirt poor and need to fix things if I can. I can work on this scooter and fix just about anything on it w/o any trouble. It’s really satisfying to fix something yourself. This little scooter is incredibly empowering!You are not going to find a better product for a better price with better customer service anywhere else. This scooter is worth every penny. The customer service is priceless.NOV. 4 2023 EDIT: Sadly, my little Hiboy S2 was stolen last week. I’m here to finish my review for “ol’ Trusty”.”Ol Trusty” continued to perform flawlessly for well over 1500 miles. The little 8″ tire on the back STILL HAD TREAD! The front was a slick for about 100 miles. (spinning tires accidently) Stick a foot out “motocross style” front axle high when starting to avert that. Just stick a leg out there. It’s a “me” issue and not a scooter issue.It has always been stored indoors. The battery was always immediately charged again at home full charge after riding ready for the next ride. The charger shuts off automatically/no overcharging is even possible.Seattle weather is no match for the S2. It stays in the bike racks in the full weather and never failed. When the rain was really pounding? It did put a grocery bag over it just to make over abundance of care so I ain’t walking home. Little shower caps or if you buy a seat it comes with a cover works well. My biometric lock never failed so get one (about 25 bucks).A friend surprised me with a new S2. “It’s my identity” one person said when I told them the sad story about the end of “Ol Trusty”. It’s become an indispensable mobility device that improved my quality of life to the point that after all this time. I actually HAVE A LIFE!…LMAO! My back and hip isn’t killing me before I get to events. I can actually enjoy the time there fully. Like walking off of light rail 2/3 of a mile to Lumen Field as opposed to scooting past 1000’s of people. Parking at the bike racks and walking 50 feet to the gate. Instead of walking 10 blocks to play pinball? I ride and can stay and play for a long time. It literally goes everywhere with me. I take transit and do not drive. It’s an amazing piece of equipment that takes a beating and can go anywhere and everywhere.One last great piece of news! The newest version has a larger front tire. It makes a big difference in overall performance and comfort. The seat has been greatly upgraded. Suitable for folks with a real life badonkadonk. I can attest!I’ll update this with my new one so stay tuned.

   Best and most complete scooter for the price range
   I had an electric skateboard but after the motor started dying I realized that i didn’t have brakes when the motor was not working . So , I decided to buy an electric scooter and I bought the highboy S2 . I think that it’s the most complete and best quality in this price range . It has a mechanicical disc brake so whatever happens I can stop . A loud bell so pedestrians can hear me when they don’t pay attention . It has pretty good light at the front and brake light at the back and most importantly intense red lighting in either side of the deck that lights up the street so much that they can see me from very far (video) . I am 6’2″ 190 lbs and I always have min 25 lbs backpack and I can easily see 19 mph with good acceleration and I can do 15 mi range . The double suspension works also very good with my weight . I love the fact that I can never have a flat tire and the diameter of the wheel is enough to go over some bumps or little pad holes with ease . Very easy to fold and unfold cause I always put in my car . Worth mentioning is their app that you can adjust breaking , acceleration , cruise control and a lot of other things . An important detail is that the port that you charge it is at the I upper part of the steering wheel , not low by the deck like other scooters so when it rains there is no problem with the water . The reason that I picked this over other scooters is the big company behind it and I was right because in the beginning I needed a different part and the customer service was amazing . They were responding in less than 24 hours in my emails and I felt that they care about their client’s needs and satisfaction and they totally back up their products . The last thing is that I can find any kind of part in their site in very reasonable prices . I’m very happy with my choice and I highly recommend this scooter

   Great Scooter!
   The Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter is an exceptional ride that combines performance, design, and affordability in one sleek package. From the moment I took it out for a spin, I was impressed by its smooth acceleration and responsive handling. The 350W motor offers plenty of power, allowing me to easily tackle moderate hills and achieve a top speed of around 15.5 mph, making it perfect for commuting or leisurely rides.The battery life is impressive, offering up to 17 miles of range on a single charge, which is ideal for daily use without worrying about recharging too frequently. I also appreciate the quick charging time, so I’m back on the road in no time.The build quality feels sturdy and durable, yet the scooter remains lightweight enough to easily carry and store. The 8.5-inch solid tires provide a smooth, comfortable ride even on uneven pavement, and the dual braking system (disc and e-brake) ensures that stopping power is reliable and safe.One of the standout features is the easy-to-use app, which allows you to track your ride stats, adjust settings, and even lock the scooter remotely. The scooter’s design is sleek and stylish, with a minimalistic look that’s visually appealing without sacrificing function.Overall, the Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and fun scooter. It offers excellent value for money, and I highly recommend it for urban commuters or anyone seeking a smooth, enjoyable ride.
