This is like the 20th review I'm watching on this scooter, and it is by far the most detailed and light-years better than any of the other ones I've seen. It is also the only one that went in depth on the seat option which I really wanted to know about, seems like no one else got the seat with theirs... Excellent job, thank you!!! You alone just made my mind on it, I'm getting it

[@GingerOnWheels]

Hey thanks for watching, glad you liked it. Link / discount is in the description.

[@francoisbernier3240]

Hi k.wild , I just received mine and I'm impressed! I've rented the public scooters a few times and this hiboy s2 pro is much smoother not to mention faster. I'm 205pounds and can reach 31km/h no problem. Many videos I watched mentioned the ruff ride because of the solid tires but I found it to be very smooth with very reasonable vibration. Hope this comment helps.... cheers

[@SubZeDiZeD]

@@francoisbernier3240 Yeah, I have mine for 11 months now, still running solid so I'm happy with it. I do have to agree a little on the rough ride though, I really wish it had some type of shocks in the front wheel - you can really feel all the bumps and vibration in your hands after a while, besides that I have no other complaints. This thing is great for the price 👍

[@Tayken9127]

How have you liked the Hiboy scooter so far?

[@SubZeDiZeD]

@@carbrickscity Am I missing something here? I see the same exact specs in terms of speed and distance, except it's nine (9!!!) pounds heavier...

[@iForgot160]

i finally bought one. i’ve had it for 3 days now and i must say, it’s worth every damn penny. this is my first scooter and i’m loving it. the range, the speed, the features, zero complaints and 5/5 stars from me.

[@BlyGuy]

Did yours come with the LED's? How is the ride with the solid state tires? Shaky and bumpy or smooth enough? You ever ride a scooter w/ pneumatic tires and how it compares to the s2 pro?

[@gregst.martin4889]

Is this schooter reliable, or does it last a short time

[@iForgot160]

@@alfredolopez6711 i’ve been taking mine to the limit since i’ve gotten it (except when it comes to jumps, i won’t jump off a sidewalk but can clear bumps that are an 1-2 inches). i’ve gone up and down hills, charged it at least 100 times, attempted turns so sharp i’ve fallen off. it’s the best $450 electric scooter for sure.

I never had an issue with support honestly. I broke my throttle, so I wrote them an email about it and I got sent a brand new handle bar a week later for free. I also lost power in my control panel and they sent me a new one free if charge. Their costner service has been good to me, so far

[@rietzhu]

Good to hear! Maybe they didn't like Ginger! 😅

[@DavidEmerling79]

I've had my Hiboy S2 Pro for about a month now. This was after a lot of research - this site being one of them. Many of the online reviews say the same thing about this scooter. There's only so much that can be said. I think it's a great scooter. So, I thought I'd add some things that you probably haven't seen/read much about. They might be minor points, but most of them are not addressed in reviews. 1. The solid tires give you peace of mind that you're never going to have a flat - and that's great. But, despite the rear suspension, this scooter does not take bumps well. This is definitely a scooter for well-paved roads. You had better pay attention (especially when going at high speed) because, if you hit a pot hole, large rock or even a curb as low as 1-inch - you're in for a surprise. It's bone jarring. Even on a sidewalk, you're going to feel every seam in the concrete. Those reviews that say the rear shock absorbers give a smooth ride are incorrect. It only prevents it from being an absolutely unbearable ride. The shock absorbers are necessary to make it bearable - but not comfortable. I mostly ride on well-paved roads and paths - so it's not a problem for me. 2. Much praise has been given to the phone app that connects via bluetooth. Personally, I don't find it that useful. There are only five (very rare) things that you can do with the app that you cannot do with the button on the scooter - and they are not things you will frequently do: 1) lock the scooter 2) set the max speed for the cruise mode, 3) set the acceleration/braking intensity, 4) set it for instant-start or kick-start and 5) install a firmware upgrade. You can turn the lights on and off with a single press of the button. You can change speed modes with a double press of the button. And, you can disable/enable cruise control with a triple press of the button. I'm surprised the app doesn't tell you how far you've traveled. It seems that would be very easy to implement and would be a somewhat useful piece of data. NOTE: One minor, but somewhat odd, thing is that when the scooter is locked (only through the app), the scooter's light can still be turned ON and OFF with the button on the scooter console. You would think that it would be disabled if it is LOCKED. In general, you will probably not be riding around on this scooter while using the app. Do you really need to know that you're going 14.3mph and not 14mph as displayed on the scooter? I seldom use it for anything. 3. A little more about the LOCK mode. When you lock the scooter (only through the app), the power remains on. I doubt it uses much power while in this mode, however. The letter "P" is displayed on the console. When it is locked, the throttle is obviously disabled. The tires are also locked; so, nobody can ride away with it as if it were a manual scooter. In addition, when you do try to roll it, it beeps, drawing attention. The only way to steal this scooter when it is locked is to pick it up and carry it. Be advised, the only way to unlock it is with the app. If your phone dies, or if you lose your phone, you're screwed. 4. It's easy to set the cruise control when you are going at top speed because the throttle is held in a constant location. You hear the "beep! beep!" to tell you that you are now in cruise control mode. You can now take your thumb off the throttle and keep going. But, if you want to set the cruise control at a setting less than full throttle (Let's say you want to cruise at 9mph), that's a bit trickier. It's difficult to hold the throttle steady at a location other than full throttle for a time period long enough to engage cruise control. It can be done - and I've gotten pretty good at it. You have to be on very smooth pavement to do it because every little bump will cause you to move the throttle ever so slightly which prevents the cruise control from engaging. I've been able to set the cruise control as low as 3mph. The cruise control will maintain whatever speed you were going at the time it engages. It's best to set it when on smooth, level ground. 5. Another thing about cruise control: Once engaged, ANYTHING you do will disengage it. The cruise control will disengage if you touch either brake. It will disengage if you touch the throttle. It will disengage if you change speed modes. It will even disengage if you turn on or off the lights. I've found that the smoothest way to disengage cruise control is to give the throttle a little flip. That prevents the jerk you invariably get by using the brakes to disengage it. 6. Compared to many other scooters, I find the deck (where you put your feet) to be very spacious on the S2 Pro. I know most people like to have one foot in front of the other when they ride a scooter. However, on long rides, that posture can get fatiguing because your body is always twisted at a 45-degree angle. I've found that I can actually have my feet side-by-side where my body is facing forward. This is far more comfortable. It's also best if you place your feet as far back as possible as that is where the shock absorbers are located. Your ride will be a bit smoother. There are no front shocks. The front wheel takes the brunt of the impacts. 7. You're really going to like the thumb-throttle on this. It is exactly like the Xiaomi M365 ("Bird") scooter. It is very responsive. There is no play or dead zones in it like on some other electric scooters. 8. The manual is not very comprehensive. In fact, many things that I've mentioned (the different functions of the button, for instance) are not documented. You'll discover several things through experience - not documentation. In fact, the manual actually gives bad advice under "Daily Care and Maintenance" where it says: "In daily use, try to avoid recharging the scooter after completely exhausting the battery. If the battery is low, charge it as soon as possible." How do you avoid recharging the scooter after the battery is exhausted? Also, it is well known that a lithium battery should be allowed to cool before recharging it. Recharging it "as soon as possible" is a bad idea. Let it cool. 9. I agree with this review that the kickstand, although very effective and sturdy, is sometimes difficult to get a grip on with your shoe. It's tucked up under the deck a little too far and you have to go fishing for it. NOTE: I ordered my Hiboy S2 Pro through Amazon. It took almost two weeks before it was delivered. Oddly, and inexplicably, the day before my scooter arrived, I got a package in the mail that was a complete handlebar assembly for the scooter. I was wondering, "Are they going to send me each piece, individually?" The next day, the complete scooter arrived - handlebar and all. Now, for some reason, I have a complete (extra!) handlebar assembly which, I would think, is a fairly expensive part of the scooter. I have no idea why that was sent to me. Go figure.

[@francewoodworks75]

All the points you made are spot on. I have the scooter too and it is great but with the minor flaws you explained in detail. I haven’t rode many scooters so I don’t have anything to compare the ride to but I’m assuming all of them in this price range will ride pretty similar even with pneumatic tires. I just don’t want the hassle of paying for and fixing flats. I get enough of that with my bike!

[@francewoodworks75]

Also I ordered from Hiboy directly and received it in 2 Days. Found out also if you leave one in the cart for 24hrs they will send you a 10% discount code!

[@TheAzntoyhere]

@@ukayhemi6385 Hi I have had my Hiboy s2 for over 1 year now and i ride it almost everyday to school with my daughter. It's definitely very useful, you get plenty of speed of 19 mph and 21 mph downhill and does the job. The suspension handles but you will still feel it with some deeper bumps. The only thing i wish this scooter could of done and goes up to 25-30 mph but i think with the higher version you could. So yes its good buy if you want something compact and quick on the go.

Thank you for your review, my partner wanted one of these for her short commute to work and we bought this model. This was the best and honest review we found.

[@JKO716]

GREAT REVIEW! Keep it up! I pretty much gave up on mines. Here in NYC the streets are very horrible, every time I hit a bump, crack or pothole the scooter slows down instantly and it's like something triggers the back brake. I tried adjusting the screws on the back wheel and turn the scooter upside down and roll the back wheel and the disc is perfectly aligned and it still does it. I won't even contact HiBoy about this because I told them I had a problem with my scooter and they told me that if I didn't purchase it from them or another authorized seller I would have to pay a fee for maintenance. Like I said, great video Ginger and I look forward to seeing your other videos in the future.

How is the ride with the solid tires? Have you ridden one with pneumatic tires?

[@t_flop]

@@BlyGuy I’ve been riding this a couple of weeks and it’s a good ride. I have nothing to compare it to, but the suspension does kick in when going over bumpy ground. I’m sure high end scooters are more comfortable, but this was a really good solution for my budget needs. I will say that when I rear break the tires leave marks on the pavement, which is less than ideal.

[@BlyGuy]

@@t_flop thanks for the reply. I ordered one last night. I'm coming from a Swagtron Swagger 5, so this is a big upgrade. I like the Swagger 5, but wasn't a reliable machine.

@@7KingCobra7 there were some issues with the shipping where it took just over 2 weeks to get to me and HiBoy gave me a free helmet for the trouble. I've been riding it for a couple weeks now and love it. The bigger tires (compared with Swagger) make a huge difference in ride quality. Same with the suspension. I live in Queens NY and the roads are awful, but I like the ride overall. I haven't done any range testing and usually keep the scooter with a good amount of battery. Highly recommend it so far.

Wow, that sucks. Good thing you were able to return to Amazon. The Emove cruiser is a much more solid scooter.

[@DavidEmerling79]

I had my scooter about 4 months and had the same problem. It simply would not turn on. I contacted Hiboy and they walked me through a diagnostic procedure to see if it was the charger, the battery or the wiring. It was the battery. They sent me a new battery which was easy to replace. It has been working ever since. Then they sent me a free storage bag accessory for my troubles - about a $35 value.

[@petemitchell6788]

I backed the suspension bolts off until only 3 threads were showing. I weigh 195lbs and noticed a much more compliant ride over seams and square edge bumps. I also give a pull on the bars like I would on a bicycle to help.

[@twistedfocus]

Glad to see that you eventually got the parts you needed despite the hassle. I bought the S2 Pro just a week or so before your first video on it and so far have had great luck with it. Prior to that I had a GoTrax G4 that only worked for 10 minutes and GoTrax eventually (after many days of nonsense replies to my questions) admitted they have no way to diagnose issues for that model and no spare parts. It was returned to them for a refund almost 2 months ago now and I still never got a refund and have been mostly ghosted by their “customer service” team, prompting me to do a credit card chargeback. It seems poor customer service may be part of the price trade off, but at least your experience with a Hiboy was better than mine with GoTrax.

So your advice is to buy a scooter than costs 3x as much, because the S2 pro is too bumpy...?

[@ztwinzplaytv9003]

@@GingerOnWheels no!speed/range& quality.The s2 is a good scooter on a low budget

Excellent professional video~thank you

I wished I had seen this scooter before I got my s2r but I still love and have fun with my s2r tho

[@Seven7ails]

Hey ! I’m hella late on the review 😂 but thanks . Excellent! The support experience you had was worrisome. I know this was 3 years ago so maybe it’s better now lol 😂 Your boots 🥾 look good brother. What are those?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Thanks for tuning in and subscribing 🙂 the bolts are some suade leather Timberlands I got a long while back. I can't recall the name exactly.

[@_techtron]

Interesting intro and cool transitions!

[@GingerOnWheels]

Thanks I put a lot of effort into my videos. Sometimes I think WAY too much. Makes me happy to see comments like this. Thanks for the support.

@@GingerOnWheels You're very welcome. We have a range of new e-scooters and we'd love to know what you think. Find out more on our KZbin channel.

[@AaronLockman]

This was super helpful, thank you! I bought the scooter before I saw this (it's on the way!), but this definitely made me feel better about my purchase. I just have one question -- when you have the seat on, does it get in the way of folding the scooter at all? Does it fold too?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yes the seat folds too. It doesn't really get in the way.

[@ramseyalizadeh]

The seat folds too, but it gets in the way because of the saddle itself, unless you have time to and willing to spend some extra time to loosen the saddle, turn in it to left or right so it won't get in the way. Overall, I was never a fan of this design, and since I installed the seat, I had to forget about the folding feature of this bike. p.s. When you even try to fold the bike (without a seat on), the bar will not come down right on the locking mechanism on the rear fender. In fact, you have to hold the base and the bar in order to guide the bar to come down on the fender. Overall, it is too wobbly, and not something a young kid can do!

Any issues with it 4 months later? Thinking about getting it

[@AaronLockman]

@@skmg2888 I really like it! The max distance is a tad lower than advertised (I've never gone more than ~19 miles on comfort mode) but it's rarely an issue and I love everything else about it. It's solid, sturdy, comfortable, and quick.

Nice!

Isn't the S2 Pro a 500W motor? If so wouldn't this beat out about anything at it's price range?

This has a seat too

[@AlienatedArtist]

thanks for the detailed and rough testing for future owners there NinjaGinger ! 🙂 ( if you like) appreciate ya, unfortunately though didn't see your promo code soon enough, but it is what it is,❤️

[@RentalTuxedoCat]

This is one of the best (and funniest) scooter review videos I've seen. Thanks! How tall is the other rider in the video? I think we might be around the same height (5'1"ish), and I'm looking for a scooter that won't fatigue my arms as a shorter rider.

[@RentalTuxedoCat]

Also I know this video is a year old already, but just FYI, the GINGERONWHEELS promo code doesn't work.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Glad you like it! The other rider in the video is around 5'1", with shoes on 😁. She quite liked this scooter. Sorry about the code, I guess they discontinued it for me...

[@RentalTuxedoCat]

@@GingerOnWheels No prob, I just wanted to give you the commission, since I'd be purchasing it on your recommendation. Also, is there another scooter she likes more?

[@BryanDawsonUSA]

Had my S2 Pro for about a month. It was well built, but after a month, the neck is wobbling. I also got an E4 error and a small shock to on my right hand near the bell. Hiboy said they are sending a new controller. BUT, the solid front tire and lack of suspension LITERALLY makes your eyes shake. I welcome suggestions to ride quality (change to pneumatic tire or adding suspension?) since it’s beyond 30 days and I can’t return.

[@MK300ZX]

Nice shoes..

[@goku-pi3gj]

Does this scooter have a gps tracking system?

[@ramseyalizadeh]

Great review, but you missed to mention how bad the batteries are. 1-Draining too fast (~20% drop in battery level per ~3 miles) 2-Taking too long (~3 hrs) to get fully charged from ~80% 3-When fully charged, the speed is about 18-19 mph on a flat surface and 15-16 mph on an inclined surface. However, at about 50% battery level, the speed on a flat road goes down to about 15 mph and on inclined planes goes down even more. That is happening when I am only about 155 lb and the road condition is dry. I was told by the customer service that is normal. They say "the speed may automatically reduce when the battery is less than 4 bar level which can make sure for a long riding range". Although it explains a little, it does not fully explain as to why this is the case. What if I am going for a short distance and I need to get there as soon as possible? why the bike has to control my range (by reducing the speed) and not me the rider?! I am replacing it with a new ebike, if it does the same, unfortunately I have to return it for money this time! Let me know if you had a different experience with S2 Pro battery.

[@GingerOnWheels]

The issues you mentioned are all very common for scooters of this wattage / amp output. It has a very small battery and low tech controllers that dont regulate output very well. All things considered, 5-6 total hours charge time isn't bad. My Wolf warrior takes 20 hours to charge with the stock charger.... On top of that, this scooter's motor is only a few hundred watts. Im afraid for $500 you've got some unrealistic expectations. You should check out scooters like the Ninebot MAX, but hill climbing ability won't start to improve until you get into the 1,000watt + categories, like the Emove cruiser or Mantis Pro.

[@ramseyalizadeh]

@@GingerOnWheels Completely agree, but leaving the downside of this scotter out of the discussion when talking about all other features don't think is a good idea. One may still want to buy the scooter, but I guess it is fair to say you want to know what you are paying for.

[@GingerOnWheels]

@@ramseyalizadeh I addressed these issues in the minimum and maximum range test videos I did. Showed the 11 mile range. Explained how it slows down hills. I even showed a detailed graph of my speed/elevation over time. I talked about charging time and battery capacity in my unboxing video. I'm not sure what else I could've done.

[@ramseyalizadeh]

@@GingerOnWheels Also, simple math, if 80% to 100% takes 2-3 hrs, then almost 0% to 100% will take AT LEAST 10-15 hrs and not 5-6 hrs as you mentioned. Have you tried to drain the battery and charge it fully from almost 0%? Maybe I got the rotten one from their stock :)

[@GingerOnWheels]

@@ramseyalizadeh Yes I have tried to charge it from full. After my maximum range test the scooter was completely dead. I didn't time it, but it's a 2amp charger on an 11amp hour battery.

[@vinniecocco9932]

You the man Ginger

[@GingerOnWheels]

[@fergusobrien7963]

Nice review. The published 220 pound weight limit is a total dealbreaker for me and I'm sure others.. many entry level/budget scooters this good can handle more weight, even the Evercross (the most under-reviewed great entry level scooter on KZbin) EVK10 Pro which goes for $429 on Walmart/500 on Amazon, has 10 inch tires, an app, turn signals, dual shocks/pretty much equal speed and range... and great portability BUT not sure about reliability/service given their set-up.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Tbh the scooter wouldn't be fun if you weighed more anyway. It'd be too slow. Better off walking. 🤣 For weight above 200lbs I recommend something with dual motors, for hills.

[@qwerty52676]

For some reason when i bought my s2 pro on amazon it had the weight at 264 and they seem to have changed it. At any rate i weigh 235 and with a moderately heavy backpack i still get the full 19mph even on a slight uphill
