I literally just got s2 today. I love it. Rode it about a mile just to test it out - I love it. I’m a 5’10 215lbs man and it was quick to accelerate. The app is good - and the scooter feels premium

4:09 "...without having to have air in the tires." That's music to my ears! I was so sick of having flats on my rear wheel of my bicycle during my work commutes, so I decided to look for an electric scooter, instead. Now the bicycle can just be a backup plan in case the scooter kicks the bucket.

I noticed also some S2 Pros come with solid rubber tires and some come with honeycomb tires. The honeycomb tires version also has different shaped thumb controls and the brake + electronics wire locations at the lower tube are parallel to each other instead of offset. I wonder if the honeycomb tires version is the newer updated version? I got sold the solid rubber tires version and just noticed the differences. HiBoy needs to notify customers of this instead of allowing retailers to sell older versions for the same price, customers thinking it is the latest one. On their website it shows you can get a new front wheel with the honeycomb tires, but shows the rear wheel with the solid rubber tires. Gets confusing as to which type of tire they are going to send you.

Time bomb - handle bar disconnected at 20mph!! I loved this scooter until yesterday. I’m in my mid 40s and use this scooter to commute. Yesterday the handle bars and pole tore off the scooter like wet cardboard. Less than a second later I was skidding on asphalt and the scooter base went into oncoming traffic. Luckily I didn’t get run over and no one else was injured. Banged up myself pretty bad. IMHO this should be recalled - this could have been a fatality had a car been behind me. The design itself is flawed by putting screws in the same location as a stress point - it is just a matter of time before the metal fatigues. Was 8 months for me before the bomb went off.

Yeah I think Hiboy does not recommend taking this onto unpaved roads (like gravel roads and dirt driveways and general rocky areas). Not for off-roading. Probably more for sidewalks and the paved bicycle lanes alongside suburb/city roads.

Been riding the S2 pro. Mileage is good if you're on eco. I'm 170lbs, I can get 20 miles on sport mode. No issues at all or of the box, but I highly highly recommend the four screws that come with the handlebars that you have to install make sure that you put loctite on those screws because they will 100%, lose.

"Is the Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter Still Good in 2023?" Nope, it never was. A cheap knock off of the tried and trusted Xiaomi M365. Just buy a second hand Xiaomi pro 1 (as it's the model with the biggest battery) and mod it to your hearts content? Want extra speed? Use custom FW. Want power? Get a 48v motor wheel. Want etc battery? Just add a Wildman bag with a battery of your choice. Want suspension? buy front and rear Monorim (or choose from a plethora of 3rd market). Those 'bird' scooters and the models (bizarrely) you talk about are not manufactured by them, they are either Xiaomi M365's or Ninebots with a Bird sticker slapped on (guess who owns Ninebot? Xiaomi). These scooters are crap, you can't do *anything* with them. A 13 minute advertorial...i'm disappointed in you mate.

@UnboxAnalysisOfficial 10 ай бұрын

Well lets talk about what the cost of those other ones are you spoke of. Do any of them come in anywhere near 300$? Think of it this way, people rent and ride my bird scooters a lot. Plenty of them to get to work and more, within 12 hours of riding my scooters they effectively spend the 300$ it would cost to buy a hiboy S2. So you really think its a bad idea? Its all about price to performance, I dont know a lot about the overall scooter world, But I know for a fact that if someone needs a cheap scooter, thats reliable this 300$ isnt a bad choice. Try not to get too hung up on modifications, and all the other fancy/faster scooters out there. I base my opinions on overall build quality and the value for the price. Now are there better scooters out there? Of course, but not many come in anywhere near the 299 mark, and even if they do, the reviews on this scooter speak for themselves all over the internet. That said, I do appreciate your input as always, but keep in mind not everyone wants to buy parts from 10 different companies, some just need a simple cheap basic way to get to work or get around.
