nice
I have a wowgo 2s and a swagcycle and a jetson bolt. I bought this thinking i would have all the E Toys a man could use. I hated it. HARD ride, suspension is the worst- and the clanging and noise every time you hit a bump it brutal. Maybe its me used to being on pneumatic tires, but hey these scooters are not fun to ride. You would have to get me on one with rubber tires and heavy duty shocks to tolerate the ride.
Wait review e9 xtreme from iwatmotion
Nice review - But i have a twow on the way now ;) - Id be interested if you did a video on ways to maintain your scooter or make any basic improvements out of the box (extra sealant? improving water resistance etc) - Just things you look at yourself to take care of your goods!
After working with this scooter for about 8 months, I have found quite a few things I changed and had issues with.
My issues:
-Overheats, at top speed of 18.6 and throttles down after about 10 minutes of use. I installed 3d printed motor coolers and have mostly negated this issue.
-Rust, I have found despite constant cleaning the salt in my area(Ohio) has salted anything that isn't the aluminum frame
-The solid tires wore out after about 400 miles I assume due to a hard rubber. I replaced them with the same tires on the Xiaomi and have gotten much better ride quality.
-The brake cable got pinched due to being sealed too closely to the body. I had to order another one for $9 and have had no issues since.
-The disk brake applies force to only one side causing it to bend the rotor if impropperly adjusted.
-The bloody rubber grommits on the wires have an annoying tendancy to fall out. I replaced them with 3d printed parts.
-The rear fender broke on me 3 times but replacements are cheap on amazon. I printed a 3d reinforcement and have had no issues since.
-The handlebar grips can sometimes slide around if you apply too much force to them.
-The screws holding the plastic cover on the bottom are quite easily ground up by the pavement if you bottom out going over a sidewalk. I threaded new screws to replace the old machine screws.
Reccomended tweaks:
-The brake rotor came slightly loose and I had to adjust it to get significantly better performance.
-Swapped out the solid tires with pneumatic tires.
-Remove the small plastic piece in the headlights that limits the light angle. The headlights are a lot brighter than they appear out of the box.
-Add a reinforcement bracket to the rear fender before it breaks, this is important unless you want to lose your fender.
-Tune the rear suspension to make it less stiff and more bouncy. This is easily done with a crescent wrench.
-Set the regenerative brakes to a higher power setting. They are extremely powerful, even more so than the disk brakes I often find at high speeds(less so at lower bc physics.)
Other than that I have had very few issues. It really is a fantastic scooter and at the time I bought it, the scooter was only slightly more costly than the m365. It was well worth it. In my experience talking with other scooter owners on my campus, I have found that I have had significantly less problems than those that own other scooters like the gotrax or M365.
Some pros I've found:
-The latch mechanism in particular is one of the best features as you can fold and unfold it in about a fifth the time it takes for a gotrax to unfold and is significantly more reliable than the M365 latch
-The top speed is extremely nice. I constantly enjoy outrunning the other electric scooters on my campus.
-I've found the range is even better than the one advertised, being able to go 20 miles on a bike trail with a 30 lb backpack.
-The bell is really nice and is right beside the brake handle where it is needed. It is easy to use and gets people's attention.
-I've run over glass on a variety of occasions and the solid tires have just rolled along(with glass still embedded in them) without any issue.
-The rear suspension once properly tuned is absolutely amazing. If you switch over to air tires you basically do not feel any bumpy roads at all.
-The side lights that come with the scooter greatly increase my visibility at night while also netting me quite a few compliments from those around me.
I would definately say its worth the upgrade. Especially if this is your first scooter as it will prevent you from encountering many of the issues on the Xiaomi. If you want to upgrade you can. The scooter shares most of its parts with the Xiaomi making parts easy to find and relatively cheap.
Thanks for your thorough insight!
Thank you for your detailed information I'm going to buy the highboy S2 pro with seat I'm a 57 year old woman And with the information that you have provided I will change the tires for a smoother ride and attempt to make some of the changes that you have with your scooter So please look For my inquiry in the future As I will be texting you for advice if you don't mind. Thank you so much And if you can do a video on the changes that you have made to your scooter I would appreciate that thank you again.
@@lexciaholder4973 Sure thing. Because my time is limited due to engineering I probably won't make a video unless you request information about a certain issue but I would be glad to help.
Wow, quite the range. Im 225lbs and only get 6-7.5miles of range on flat road. I checked the rear wheel for any type of drag, there is none. I have 3 runs on this, 1st run i got 6 miles with a bad headwind. 2nd run 7.5 miles, no wind. 3rd a little wind at 7 miles. Is this normal for 225lb?
On my scooter ride I actually ran the battery down to 13% The last battery light indicator usually starts flashing at 25% If I had to guess.
Additionally the meter on the scooter is not fully accurate. Due to the resistance of the motor it will read lower, this is why the gauge will go up and down as the motor has to work harder. The gauge also works for me to about 10 miles before the scooter starts reading 1 bar, however the scooter is capable of more if you are willing to go beyond the gauge limits and estimate. Additionally the phone app gets a much more accurate reading of the battery percentage than the gauge itself.
I cannot speak for 225 Lbs, however I weigh 172 lbs and often carry significantly more weight on the scooter in my backpack. The scooter when carrying the extra weight gets significantly hotter causing it to be less efficient and throttle the motor (causing it to read the battery lower.) Additionally while the regenerative braking does work it does not work too well at temperature which will likely impact range if you brake a lot.
Accelerating a heavier object to a given speed will always require more force. As given by the KE = 1/2M*V^2 equation. Every time you stop you effectively take this many joules out of the battery minus inefficiency. This is why braking in cars is so detrimental to fuel efficiency.
For constant motion the scooter once up to speed has to fight rolling resistance(basically tire friction) this is the minimum power required to keep an object at a given speed. The general equation for generic friction is F = u*g where u is a coefficient of friction and g is the normal force which in this case is gravity. Twice the mass means double the rolling resistance and half the mass means half the friction.
lmao never seen a review/unboxing this quirky and entertaining lol!!!
Awww that’s the loveliest 💗
TAH RUE!!!!!
This dumb and annoying you mean??
Because he is english /British they have good sense of humor
Anyone else thinking... 'you'll need locktite, on those screws!' 😂
Gr8 vid, the lights are looking like a Gr8 addition...
Great video and you kept it fun to watch the video also ! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review! Getting mine today and gonna ride it Saturday! Can’t wait! What’s your opinion regarding the regenerative battery feature? Does it charge as you’re riding downhill or while the battery is dead?
Always a good video that is informative & funny. Fingers crossed the law in the U.K. gets changed this year so I can get an e-scooter
Hi Ben I have looked at a lot of your videosI'm feel that you come across and give valid points and opinions about each scooter 🙏 my first scooter was the m365 that has now broken down the upgrade I have chosen to go for is the kugoo g booster could you please do a review on it at some point as I would like to know your opinion on itI wanted one with long mileage that can go fast and is good in all types of terrain so could you did I make the right choice for my second thank you may and keep doing what Ur doing 👍🏾
Another great video in the style unique to you. Well done, informative and to the point, most helpful. Anyone getting a scooter should see this video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul! :)
Informative, absolutely. But "to the point "?........
That suspension test started well 😂
Missed u dude!!! Great seeing you back out n about!!!
Cheers Bruv!
always love your unboxings and reviews. your the top gear of scooters 100%
Thanku!
Thank u for the new vid I always get excited when you release a new vid Ben Fox and thank you for your inspiration for myself going green I am buying my first electric scooter next week the Xiaomi M365 pro
Amazing! Happy Scooting! 💪🏻
You will love it, it is the best escooter on the market for a good price. Punctures do happen though and this will give you a headache when it happens. The only thing that I don't like about the scooter.
Ben Fox you have made my day for replying to my comment 🇬🇧🏴
Robbie C thank you for your advice 🙏🌈🛴❤️
Plus, keep your air pressure up to 65psi for the rear and 55-60psi for the front tyre. Happy scooting! 😉🛴
The grocery bag hook was the deal breaker... Hands down for me 👌... Nice to have you back. I hope your still holding it together through this what feels like an eternal lockdown 🙏
God bless the hook!
@@BenFox01 🤣... Totally immobile without it. Feature accessory of the year!!!!!
Looks like a great bit of kit for newbies not looking to break the bank, hopefully the bigger companies can learn a thing or two about rider conveniences like the built in hook. Shame the suspension doesn't seem great
Also great review as always 🤙
The Hook! 🙏🏻
Good review! I didn"t know you and I've laughed a lot (and I'm that type of person who is "hard to laugh"). Thank you. I'm subscribing.
My pleasure Pedro! Thanks for joining 💪
Loving the reviews mate
Benson Babu Cheers bud!
Thanks for the new video
So upon your awesomeness, and after only watching 2 minutes... off I go to Amazon to check it out, and all I get it "Currently, there are no sellers that can deliver this item to your location."
Well I was getting excited for this S2 scooter and was hoping it had further range than the M365 or the Pro. Suspension is a nice feature and I would say swap the solid tires for tubeless ones 👍 You must have a fleet of scooters by now from all the tests you do on them? Keep up the great videos and work. Take Care and Stay Safe
Cheers John! u2!
Who likes xiaomi m365 pro (me) ?
i love the way you review the scooter and i think i love u too
I would love to see the S3 with pneumatic tyres filled with green slime, a double suspension seat and post, two low front lights, lights on the head stem, back rack and two stands underneath the footboard.
Nice upload Ben, however, I got a little confused when you kept mentioning rubber tyres. The HIBOY S2 SLASH WHATEVER looks like it has hollow solid rubber tyres instead of pneumatic rubber tyres (but both are rubber) :)
Ben made a simple error but he doesn't mind it at all. 😁
I have the S2 and a few other people i know have it. The range can vary. We all did a ride on flat ground. 160lbs 14miles, 190lbs 10miles, 225lbs 7miles.
Hey Ben. If price weren't necc. factor - Which scooter do you think has better bang for the buck? The HiBoy S2 Pro or the Ninebot Max G30LP (noting the LP which has less battery but other benefits vs the G30). I lean towards the HiBoy but would appreciate your opinion as this would be my first scooter.
Man you've been in lockdown with your scooters way too long 😂🌹🛴
😂😅 🔥
Good review :)
This was incredibly entertaining!
Is the scooter still in fully working order and have you had any issues with it
I believe the S2 *does* have the regenerative, front braking system.
Love these videos so brilliant always cheers me up. What are the wheels like? As they’re not air filled tires. Do they handle rough pavements?
Also, Xiaomi or S2?
Ohhh tough- S2!
Much better than Xiaomi bcos of suspension
@@BenFox01 Do you know where you can get them? The link in desc has a ‘currently unavailable’
It would be interesting to see if the Monorim-style m365 front suspension upgrade would fit on this one, and whether it makes the offroad-ish ride more bearable.
I’d heard about the Hiboy S2 before,but couldn’t find anywhere in the UK that stocks it, looks an excellent scooter. 👍
Was hoping things had changed but like others have commented, Amazon aren’t providing UK delivery at this time.
Perhaps this will change once logistics get back to normal after COVID?
Great video Mr Fox, 👍. You must have more scooters than the guys at PURE now 😁, if you feel like selling one let me know.🤣. Desperate to get a scooter to avoid public transport getting to & from work. Stay safe.
Cheers Mark! Will do!
Hi do you think this E-scooter would be good in Snow condition as well?
Great video mate would it be good for someone roughly 5 foot keep up the good work
Oh yeah don’t see why not... hit up my link below!
What's the best rubber tired scooter you've tested in the budget segment (no more than a Xiaomi Pro). My puncture anxiety would be through the roof
Ben Fox should host a electric scooter gathering and we go to nice places like beaches or just nice places to ride and put it on the tube in summer 🚨✅
Deffo!
I also have a Xiaomi clone scooter like this one. Same locking mechanism and rear suspension but with pneumatic tires. The dashboard is also the same with the real Xiaomi Pro and the max speed is 30 kph. Bought it for about $320 (was able to haggled the price to around $306 cuz i paid it in cold cash). Battery died after 100 km (BMS issues). Upon checking, the 10s3p battery pack is comprised of generic 2500 mah 18650, with cheapie BMS. But the 250w hub motor, it's the exact motor the real Xiaomi scooter have.
The best thing about owning a xiaomi m365 is that you can fint tons and tons of spare parts and customisable kits for it. And for any other scooter its difficult.
Hi love the vid but can you give me your opinion on the kugoo M4 I'm looking for a cheap scooter and this looks good
Own two Xiaomi's (M365 Pro and M1 Swiss edition). Aftermarket front shocks were a cheap and very effective upgrade (about US$45 for a front suspension unit, delivered). The control module was also a cheap upgrade (to vers. 3, which provides more torque) after long use and a required replacement (price $30). Lastly, essential to use SLIME sealant for the tire tubes, to prevent/minimize chances of a flat.
Both a terrific scooters for my older teenagers...but underpowered for someone my size (6'1; 230#).
I would love to see the new InMotion L9 review here!!! A big contender and very promising Scooter! 🛴
Crazy 59 miles range longest range ever on e scooter I really want the L9
Keep an eye on Ben's youtube channel for updates on it. 😉
@@mdwadud9471 Its expensive like the Ninebot Max so it's better than the Max but it's not polished like the Max.
Those suspensions look amazing!!! Why they can't do the same with M365 pro???
Great review , David Tennant vibes too!
Cheers Paul!
I don’t know if you talk like this in real life but I really like how comical you speak. Keeps me watching the video. Cheers!
lol, i do!
how to adjust rear suspension? I saw you removed some screws and jumped on it, but the rest of the video those screws were in place.
I think the suspension is best for uneven floor tiles. I have a m365 clone that has a max speed of 25kmh (on paper) I actually hit on average 29kmh and have hit 30 kmh. I added a front suspension kit which stops the shock from going into my arms when going over uneven floor tiles.
Also I recommend getting running trainers (the ones with the air bubbles) as this will also act as effective shock absorbers.
Where can you buy a front suspension kit?
I don't even have to watch this video to tell you that yes, this scooter is good. I bought one second-hand for $130 and I love it, definitely one I'm going to keep. It does have an e-braking regen system I believe that operates in conjunction with the rear disc brake so not sure what Ben Fox is talking about. I may buy the newer model they offer as well if I see a good deal on it at some point.
I just got my Hiboy S2 Pro yesterday, it's awesome!
Congrats!!
Is the battery good bro because I wanna get one!!
@@dv7787 Yes! The Pro has a great battery. I weigh 250lbs and I get around 12 to 15 miles per charge. It takes around 6 hours to fully charge the battery. For someone who weighs less than 200 pounds the range is closer to miles per charge.
The regular S2 doesn't have that much range though, but it's still good.
Ahh... a new Ben Fox video- finally my life is going back on track.
Bruh it’s not dat serious 😂
There is a front suspension kit available on Amazon which would fit the m365 and this scooter...as for the tyres.... im an air filled tyre lover...and if you have the strength you may wanna consider adding an extra cut up inner tube to protect from punctures....mine last on average 10 to 11 months in all conditions....warning...its very difficult to do it.
So will adjustable xiaomi m365 seat from eBay fit on the hiboy s2 ??? Don’t like the hiboy s2 seat that came with the scooter. Thanks
How long will the battery last on a single ride
Hi Ben, great to see you back in the saddle again!
What do you think of the Segway es2 vs the Hiboy S2? I’m thinking of getting the Hiboy S2 pro with 10 inch wheels. I’m hoping that the new pro is better than the S2 . What are your thoughts?
Hiboy deffo!
I bought the HiBoy max a few weeks ago!! I love it 💯
Hows the battery bro ?
My max died after 8 months..good luck
Idk...mines is still running like a champ. My rear finder broke awhile ago that’s about it
So thinking about your comments about your inflatable (ooh err) syndrome. Could that not be solved by the use of Slime, Goop or other similar sealant? I've used it very successfully in cycles and motorcycles for years. Its amazing stuff.
Still waiting for legalisation as I can't afford to risk my driving licence. Soon I hope. Meanwhile watching your videos with envy 😁😁
How many hours will a full charge give me while riding?
Just bought the iScooter 1S for $209.00 delivered almost same exact thing as the Hiboy, but the 1S has regen breaking. But no side lights either.
Thanks Ben! It was good to see you again. I was watching Chuck and the Electric Scooter Guide live chat he has on Tuesdays at 5PM PST. He mentioned you because I think we were talking about the improving UK e-scooter situation. That Hiboy does have many positives over a 365. I love my Dualtron Compact but the solid tires do come at the price of some comfort. I rode my Mantis and Compact back to back doing a loop around San Francisco. The Mantis was so comfortable at speed that it made me want to ride it more. The Compact solid tires lowered my anxiety and the acceleration is so amazing. It is much faster off the line than the Mantis and it has to be one of the fastest off the line due to the smaller wheels. I hope you and your family are staying healthy.
Dude how many scooters do you have these days? You're forming quite the collection! Whats you fave? Stay Safe!
@@BenFox01 I own 7 currently but I also have other PEVs :) The Dualtron Compact is my favorite. A stable 40MPH and solid tires are perfect for urban riding. I just pulled out a pretty long shard of glass embedded in the rear tire. It would have definitely punctured a pneumatic tire. I find tire sealants to be a 50/50 proposition so there is a good chance I would have been walking home again on the Mantis. Stay safe my friend!
Just ordered a emove cruiser that goes 60miles from beyond electrek for £1,150 can't wait👌
I can’t wait I really hope they can become legal, I’m visually impaired and it could be a danger to us but what don’t the visually impaired have access to? A vehicle! With great care we can enjoy an electric vehicle too as I love using my kick scooter!
Please review the Zero 8 :)
Hi there, my budget is about $300 and I want to get the best scooter I can get
I am looking for speed, and I want it to feel safe and nice. Also I want it to at least go through grass
Any good options?
Deffo the HiBoy S2… you don’t need the new Pro version. This one is what you are looking for… if it’s still available! Try the link below 🤞
please review the emove touring
BEN! I have the ninebot ES4, it has been giving me some problems, aparently most of es2 and es4 have this problem, if you search “control board es2 problem” thats what is happening, the top speed out nowhere drops to like half and can’t use the scooter with the head light on (if you search many many users have this problem)
Thinking of getting the Ninbot G30 max but I am afraid in the future that it has the same problem, what do you think?
The voltage on those ES2/ES4 models can fry the wiring due to excessive amount of E-brakes. Highly recommend you to get either the Xiaomi M365 Pro or the Ninebot Max if you have the cash of course! 😉
whats your thoughts on 30/6/20 'legalisation' of e-scooters in britain??? i think they are going all wrong about it and hope YOU will use your platform to make a point..... i own a 365 pro and love it, but this rentals only legality thing is wrong, heres why..... almost everyone who rents will be a 1st timer, they take a little getting used to, and like anything rental, will most likely not be used as safely as owners would use them, so this 'trial period' based on renters is gonna throw back all the wrong kind of results for us owners moving forward, please help!!!!
unfortunately they will probably only ever legalise rental e-scooters, because it makes them money 😕shame
Nice baring in mind that I bought the pro version I’m stocked
do you recon its worth the £339 notes
The battery likely didn't stay consistent because you hadn't broken in the battery yet Ben :3 you're always going to get a massive drop off on the first few charges normally.
I currently have an M365 clone and I have a problem with the rear fender that need the brackets to prevent it from breaking. I noticed in your video that the rear fender does not have the little plastic brackets to keep it from shaking and eventually breaking off. In your opinion does it look like the rear fender needs a bracket and will it have the same issue of breaking overtime?
Gerald Grogan if its a clone im quite sure most mudguard supports designed for the m365 would work for the clone
My rear fender snapped from hitting big cracks in the road. I used appoxie and duck tape lol
I have this Scooter, but my Headlight is top mounted and Display also the App are different.... so I think I have the 2nd generation.
I got mine last week and rode it over 5 miles to/from work.
Does anyone know the height from deck to handlebars? Just ordered mine today and am curious what are some great things about the scooter? I did my research a lot, but love to hear from fellow buyers.
Are the headlights and bell removable? I’d like to add front suspension and my own headlights and bell
The front head light is removable the bell is built into the the break mech.
Think I need to cop my self one now
Is the S2 better than the max?
I googled the max vs the s2 and the s2 wins overall
I own the max. It has the headlight up top by handlebars maybe you can be seen better and road better. Blue instead of red side led lights are cool and great to be seen. Front suspension instead of rear and is very noisy when going over larger bumps which is only what it’s useful for. Also the biggest difference is the larger deck which comes with more weight than the S2. Customer service was excellent when my headlight went out. Actually ended up sending me a whole new scooter after trying different fixes. Careful on wet roads and street paint though with these stiff tires that carve really excellent.
what kind of charger does it come with
I bought the Xiaomi and I regret it. If I had known about this scooter earlier I would have bought this one instead just because of the tires alone. The tires on my Xiaomi pretty much gave me problems right from the start, turns out pressure from the valve somehow tore a hole in the inner tube and now i have to replace it completely which is a huge headache.
Is this the hiboy s2 or hiboy s2 pro?
wait... it only goes 18.6 i thought it went 28 mph not kmh i say a video on it by team ella the hiboy s2 electric scooter and he went 27 mph on it was it in kph mode?
I converted kg to lbs and including gear I’d be about 20 pounds or 9 kg too heavy. Other than the obvious (it won’t run as fast, it will die quicker) is there any reason it wouldn’t work?
Your escooter giveaway has ended since 1st March why you putting the link on your description?
Thanks for the correction! The winnder will no be chosen after lockdown!
Why did I get a HiBoy 2 ad before the video hmmm 🤔. The internet is telling me something.
Battery died but app says 24% remaining? Actually, this is quite possible. Recently, I built by own lithium battery for my Puzey Motors eScooter. My choice of BMS (Battery Management System) electronics is designed to only allow the use of the middle 80% of the battery's power. Battery could therefore be between 0-10% charged but not usable. Why? Lithium batteries can deteriorate very quickly when they are used in the 0-10% and 90-100% ranges of their capacities - even more so when they are over-charged. So, this BMS deliberately only allows the user access to the middle 80% of the battery's capacity.
HIBOY are likely to have protected the S2's battery in a similar way - but not quite calibrated the battery to the app properly!
How tall or high up is the scooter
Lower back? My regular m365 makes my ankles hurt after like 5 kms :D
Have u seen they now make it with a 500w motor and was wondering if you could do a review.
WW2020 Pro second part ever coming out? :P
Dare you to do the real range test on the emove cruiser hehe
No chance, I believe chuck got over 50 miles on the cruiser, which is insane!
What a down-grade for current Xiaomi M365 Pro users with exception of the puncture-proof tyres that aren't ideal for wet conditions, but great upgrade over the original Xiaomi M365 hehe! Still prefer the good ol Xiaomi Pro w/ Pneumatic tyres Ben hehe! 😁
20km is just normal 365 range 😮 one wonders what the feel would be like with the 10” soft tire mod.
It's like the M365 Pro with M365 battery life lol.
Ì seriously don't get it, I been getting 30km with my M365 since day one, I guess I really take care of my scooter and don't just ride it and abuse it like everyone else.
Benny, have you reviewed the Zero 8x? Please do. hehe
He did the Zero9
I did the Turbowheel swift which is very similar!
I have a s2, I was fairly impressed myself, I did a 18 miles on one battery, climbed hills at a pretty steep incline. Top speed was the same, I bought a separate head light to conserve battery life. And the self charge feature did work for me. Rolling down a hill less then a 1/4 mile long going 16mph gave me about a bar worth of power. If your not beating on it and being conservative you can get some distance out of it.
Kugoo m4 pro v chaos 1600w? Which one should i buy
Which of the scooters you've reviwed is the least punishing on the lower back?
This one so far! ua-cam.com/video/665snvs5ryw/v-deo.html
Can the speed be modified like m365 to increase top speed?
Nice review. So it's an M365 Pro clone with a much smaller battery (270Wh vs. 474Wh) ⚡
Ya, not much of a upgrade over the existing M365 Pro. Better wait for Xiaomi's successor to the Pro dubbed M365 Pro 2 hehe! 😁
@@gtone339 the pro 2 apparently has nothing more than an extra brake for German compliance....
@@ssss-df5qz Yes it's another minor update lol.
@@gtone339 my 365 pro can get me 30 mile range so it's more like a severe downgrade, although it is cheap, and regardless, I would still like that suspension as it must be better than the NO suspension on the Xiaomi.
Is there a weight limit
Do you think the price of scooters will increase if they're legalised in the uk?
🤔 Good question... Not sure!
