I got Hiboy S2 pro last month, and it's absolutely amazing, good speed, good range, i also like the regenerative brake. No need to worry about getting flat tire and it has a suspension at the back.
I've had the G4 for 3 years and gone about 400 miles. The battery has significantly degraded. I can't even make it to work and back without dying (4 miles round trip)
this is technecally a 300$ Vs 550$ Don't forget about the more you Pay, the more Tax you have to pay as well, so 300$ easily wins for Everyone Edit: Actually nevermind, with the 60% off Deal on the Current website, its 350$ for the G4 Scooter, but yet again, Tax exist, so its either pay less or pay more for the scooter, but i still recommend the 300$ Hiboy S2 since it still manage to make me work to home pretty good, Just make sure to fully charge it, i even have 2 bars left when i got home lol
I was looking at the Gotrax, but right now, the S2 is $120 cheaper. Plus, they were out of the G4 a week or two ago. I'm pretty happy with the S2. The G4 doesn't seem like it's $120 better.
@@sreechandan7152 I like it, it's a nice beginner scooter. But I already purchased a different one. A faster two motor scooter that I can commute in traffic better with and gets up hills much better.
I like it, I have not had any issues with it. However, when I did more research after I bought it it seems some people had some instances with the stem breaking, which is pretty dangerous. I've not heard of that issue with the Gotrax. The electric scooter forums on Reddit have some good information.
I was looking at that but changed my mind and got the hiBoy Max Pro which I am happy with. Theres a lot of people on the Scooter subreddit that bash hiBoy but coincidentally none of them have ever used one, people that do have them like them a lot and say the customer service is worlds away better than Gotrax. I took my Max Pro for a ride earlier on sport mode (top speed 22mph) which accelerate quickly and after 5 miles I still had all 5 bars of battery.
I had the G4 for my son it wasn't really a user-friendly and I don't feel it was built as well as the one I own after a while it just stopped going and I had to return it it was really fast and rode nice but it fell unstable as far as build quality
I have 2 of the Gotrax and no regrets yet. I mean they just work and are fun to ride. No drama and they now come with an upgraded 500 watt motor vs the original 350 watt. On sale too for $499.00
@@Karstio If you're even remotely worried always get solids, especially if you want low maintainace and a worry free ride. They are great, especially if you don't pretend you're made out of glass!
Are you or anyone reading this comment have issues with battery life on S2? It's advertised at 17 mile range but Im not getting anywhere near that. Honestly I feel like I am getting 3-5 miles maybe. After using it for maybe a mile or 2 the battery indicator goes down to half way. Does turning it on and off often maybe cause a battery drain? I had them ship me a new battery and still the same thing.
Hiboy S2? Well it depends on your weight, the speed you are using and the road. If there are a lot little hill and you have a bigger weight, the range will be small, because Hiboy S2 is not Hiboy S2 pro, S2 has 350w motor. Also If you want long range, don't ride with sports mode.
I tried it out today, riding for 53 minutes all the way from home, including some uphill sections. t managed to get me across, and when I was close to my neighborhood streets, I had 2 bars of battery life left and was going 13 mph instead of the full 19 mph. However, it still took me pretty far. The funny thing is that I was goofing around with the scooter a bit beforehand, not too much, just about 3 minutes or so. Despite the road conditions, it still got me home pretty nicely. However, I do need to remember not to speed up the scooter and then quickly use the brakes, as this wastes the scooter's power. Instead, I should let the wheels take their course when approaching closer corners and turning sides of the streets. Overall, it's amazing. I just hope that with frequent use, it will prove to be durable and last at least 6 months to a year Before changing Parts. This is far better than spending $2 every single day on the bus.

I own 4 scooters including the S2 Pro. If you have kids (or adults) who never rode a scooter before it’s a great choice. The App controls acceleration and top speed from 2-20mph. Lets those unfamiliar gain confidence and get up and running quickly.

Have you tried it on a decent incline? And how much do you weigh? I’m 200 pounds. I need something that will pull me up 15° grades
@@johnmontana8540 ya ofc i did, and it was getting slower but it can still made it.

hillboy🙄
It's kind of strange to review a product and not even get the name correct.
lol did he say hillboy
Shill type energy non honest review
Hillboy 🤣🤣🤣
G4!!!
I ended up getting the Hiboy S2 Pro. It was $70 cheaper than anywhere that I could find a Gotrax.
How was it? Happy with the purchase?

Just got the Gotrax Eclipse Ultra! Best Scooter ever. I also bought the $89 seat that you can clip on and make it a seated scooter anytime I like :)

What is a hillboy ?
😂😂😂
I just got my G4 today and absolutely love it! Definitely considered the S2 Pro but got a great deal on a new scooter.
G4 is a goated e-scooter and that's on god
My G4’s amazing even when I don’t charge it it goes up to 100 percent
The hillboy 😂
Definitely the G4, i you see them both in person you can tell the difference in the build quality

Do you wheels ever pop?
@@Karstio nope - not yet. I'm buy a backup scooter just incase, and there is someone near me that repairs tires on these, but at $100 a pop.
@@markerf16 Good to hear, I was afraid if I got pneumatic tires they would pop.

Which one??

It's hard to narrow it down but this sounds like a contender, however I will review your previous post on the top five scooters of 2022.
