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.

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!

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!!!

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

@@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 👍

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.

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!

Great review. Really appreciate the thoroughness. Since I see you're in Redmond, would you recommend this scooter for a commute from W Lake Samm Pkway, up 40th to the bus station on 520, bus to Seattle, and up James street to Seattle U? Would you recommend something else? I think the scooter would need hill climb ability, be lightweight and small for the bus, and handle Seattle wet weather.

@GingerOnWheels 2 жыл бұрын
I'd go for the vsett 9+ . This scooter struggles up the 520 trail to 40th, it requires some pushes. But the 9+ dual motors. Ip waterproof rating, and foldability, and comfort make it a far better choice.

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.

I've smashed mine into the pavement an embarrassing number of times and it still works great! I even blew the front visor off one time in a crash and it just popped right back and and still works great. Plus, the jaw cover is removable so it works as a normal bicycle helmet too if you need it. It's not cheap, but worth every single penny. amzn.to/33lyYe9

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.

Do all s2 pro's come with the bottom LED lights? The product page doesn't show them on HiBoys site. Also, how do people feel about the solid state tires? Is the ride really shaky/bumpy or do they give you a smooth ride? That's my biggest thing right now I'm trying to decide on a scooter. Pneumatic or solid tires. I live in Queens NY.
@DavidEmerling79
@DavidEmerling79 2 жыл бұрын
There is no doubt that pneumatic tires give a smoother ride. The Hiboy S2 Pro is not an off-road scooter. Even on paved sidewalks, you are going to feel every little seam. Even 1-inch curbs can be jarring. This scooter has dual rear shocks, but that only makes the ride bearable. When that front tire hits a bump, you're going to instantly feel it in the handlebars. I ride mostly on well- paved streets and paths and wanted solid tires because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of getting a flat. I've run over my share of broken glass and it's nice to have the peace of mind of knowing that I'm not going to get a flat. The bottom LED lights are standard. When you're on the scooter, it doesn't seem like those lights are doing much but they are really obvious from a sideview. Most scooters are not that visible to cars when viewed from the side. That is not the case with the S2.
@BlyGuy
@BlyGuy 2 жыл бұрын
@@DavidEmerling79 thanks. I've now had the S2 Pro for 5 months and love it. I came from a scooter with solid tires, so was already used to a bumpier ride, but honestly, it doesn't bother me and I know my routes in Queens well enough to know the smoother paths. My only complaint with it is the locking mechanism in the front. From day one, I felt it was cheap (really the only cheap part on the scooter) and prone to breaking and though it still works, it was become unlocked during bumpier rides. Why Hiboy decided to be cheap on one of the more important parts of the scooter is beyond me, but other than that they made a fantastic commuter scooter.

It performs like most scooters in this price range as for as performance. All scooters slow down as they go up hills. My experience is that this scooter does really well unless it's an extremely steep and long incline. Even then, it still gets up the hill, but losing several mphs in the process. You won't be disappointed in this regard - unless you plan to ride it around in downtown San Fracisco.
