What’s the Tire size
what is your weight during the making of this video?
Just FYI, the suspension can be softened. It ships with the suspension at max firmness. On the underside, behind the seat post hole, there is a nut on each spring that can be adjusted with a 14mm wrench. 2 and a half full turns on each nut made a huge difference in the ride.
You are amazing! Thank you for this!
I adjusted mine after the first ride, big difference
*I am loving the **Latest.Bike** Scooter , it’s sturdy, safe and well-made. It gets me from point A to point - B- in a good record of time. ?????*
Been using this scooter for a year. Still going strong. I used it mostly for work (night shift).
Could you share your stats if your don’t mind height and weight ?
@@jeremyrudder9009 I'm 5'4 and 140 lb
@@jeremyrudder9009 I'm 5'11 140 and this scooter is phenomenal, it has lasted a while (purchased in September 2021) and reaches 19mph consistently and on hills gets up to 17pmh. Gets 21 miles range most of the time, which is more than enough for me.
I know it's late but can you please tell me how it performs during the winter in snow and ice?
@@kellenfletcher7177 it will ride through snow up to maybe 7/8s of an inch. Traction is pretty strong. I wouldn’t go fast in ice though.
I just got mine as an anniversary gift and I’m beyond ecstatic. Super happy with it.
hey whats ur top and average range with it?
How is it a year later ?
I weight 180 lbs, I did a 20-mile trip. Excellent scooter.
I must add, I did a 20-mile trip in sport mode. Half of the trip was me riding 18 mph. Fast
@@alexanderdoorknocker if the scooter dies, are you still able to push it? Or does the wheel lock up
@@dantefamularo6764 yes you can push it and still ride it if the battery ever runs out. I've had my S2 pro for a year and I've never completely ran out of battery.
@@alexanderdoorknocker did you go up any hills while that’s 20 mile ride?
@@CraxCCZZ No mostly flat streets. It's not a great scooter for hills. But for flat streets it's powerful and the battery dam near lasts forever.
Bro it’s nuts I bought this scooter when I weighed 290 carried me around like butter since then lost 40 lbs still works wonderful
You are the best youtuber I could find for e scooter related content. Keep up the incredible and outstanding work bro.
Ya he's up there
Good review! Just fyi the S2 PRO has a 500W motor. The S2 Standard has the 350W motor. Thats why it seemed to preform better.
The reason why he said that is because when he did this review his scooter is actually 350w the s2 pro when it came out was 350w but ever since it's upgraded to 500w!
Thanks for this review. I’m always researching for what to get for my 10 mile commute to work after I stop using my Max.
Funny that I am looking at maybe getting a Max and adding the 48 volt kit (which gets 26-28mph for $275) just to avoid all the shortcomings of the other ones. How many miles have you had yours and do you have any problems?
We just got this scooter for our 15 year old, he absolutely loves it!
Simply incredible review! You need to get hired to do reviews from scooters to UTV's, ATV's, and cars. You cover it all! 👍👍👍
My suspension i had to replace after a year due to riding it on crappy roads. It isnt the best if your roads/sidewalks are not smooth as the tires are solid and you will feel every imperfection/bump. But overall its a decent scooter that'll get you from a-b pretty quick. Also hiboy sent me the replacement rear shock assembly parts free of charge, which was nice.
Where did you get it replaced?
adjusting that suspension makes a world of difference
I really like that there is a separate electronic regenerative brake, most of the time you can just use that unless you need to stop fast then use both,
the brakes will last a long time
2 months of deciding on which scooter to get and I think I just found it good video and review.
Mine should be arriving in 4 days I can’t waitttttt
UPDATE: 3 days later and it’s hereee! omg
@@shawnshahzad3347 is it good and fast??
@@abubakaer1086 I have had it for 2 weeks now and it’s exactly how they say, I’ve been trying to find the right scooter for 6 months and this was the best purchase, it goes very fast and is very cool,
@@shawnshahzad3347 ok thanks
Thanks for the review. I purchased these scooters for my kids so we could go on family rides. We are very pleased with the S2 Pro. Great Helpful Review!
hey, I'm looking at this scooter for my daughter to ride mainly to and from school. looking at this on line in its folded state looks like it'd fit in a locker, but since your kids have 1, do you think it would fit in a locker for school?
@@5xstronger it depends on how big the lockers are lol what grade is your daughter in
I got the first major problem after 2 years. When i try to press the throttle it wont go forward, so i have to give it the smallest amount of throttle for it to go. The first year of using it, the tyre and the rim wasnt sticking together anymore, so if i would try and be fast of the line it just wont go.
You would achieve alot of problems down the line, so thats why i upgraded to a Ienyrid M4 Pro S+ Max. I would say that is the best for the buck.
(Edit) i wasn't behaving the Hiboy S2 Pro very well... i were doing a bunch of stunts, burnouts ripping it across the city, and acting like i had quad suspension. I was driving it through the winter full throttle, and never washed it.
“Just give me a couple more inches and I’ll be happy” sounds like my conversation with god
I own this scooter and you are exactly right about the ineffectiveness of the rear suspension. Hitting bumps with the front wheel can be bone-jarring. I knew this before buying it, however - based on similar reviews. I didn't want pneumatic (smoother) tires because I wanted the peace of mind of never having to worry about getting a flat PLUS I knew that I was planning to ride the scooter on well-paved roads, sidewalks and paths. It's definitely not an off-the-road scooter. Even the smallest bumps, even the seams in the pavement are felt. Cobblestones? Forget it! GREAT REVIEW!
I recently picked this scooter up, and it's fantastic. Stellar bang for the buck. I agree with all of your pros and cons, and want to add one more con: You cannot rotate the throttle or the regen brake levers. The throttle placement is fine for me, but I really wish that I could rotate the regen brake lever so that it's oriented with the tab much more down facing. As it is, I feel like I need to raise my thumb way too high to hit it, and sacrifice grip strength on the bar. In an emergency situation when I'm suddenly grabbing it and my weight is being cast into the bar, I could see this being dangerous. Especially if it's raining or something and my hand is already slippery- There's a chance that my hand could slip forward entirely off the handlebar and that would 100% result in me on the ground. During braking is when I want the most hand surface on my grips.
How is it holding up? just got one
@@_inked_out It's holding up great! Awesome little scooter for the money. I upgraded to an electric unicycle earlier this year but still keep the scooter around for friends to ride when they come over.
@@amdinga561 thanks awesome!
@@amdinga561 Their called wheels...😅
Some had talked about the stems on other scooter, boosted rev stem is similar to this scooters. people hated how the stem leans towards you. I didn't have a though. Good review man.
Outstanding review. The thing about the angle of the handlebar thing was interesting especially. This seems good for the money but a bigger guy wants big suspension and battery size.
Very through review. Thanks for covering every question I would of had.
The Hiboy S2 Pro has a 500 watt motor, not a 350 watt like your video states
Great video, FYI no average adult can do 20mph on a straight level road only 18mph max maybe 19 at best out the box on these Hiboy S2 pro
I got my GoTrax G4 about 3 weeks ago, its the same 20MPH Top Speed but I've already put 250 miles on it. I'm surprised the thing hasn't rattled apart by now
How's the battery hold up cause I heard a lot of ppl say the battery sucks
I have the KS4 Pro one thing I like about it over the S2 pro is the electronic brake and rear handbrake both are applied at the same time by just pulling the brake lever . the lever is also on the left side where it should be.They both work at the same time so you can slow down really fast and it feels very stable. braking with just your front brake is not ideal.
EV's use only regen/electric braking 90% of the time called 1 pedal driving makes you never have to replace the mechanical brakes. I plan to do the same on the s2 pro
EXCELLENT UNBIASED REVIEW!
Love this scooter. The rear suspended is great for coming off of curbs and can soak up holes if you shift your weight to the rear.
If feels heavier than my xiaomi pro 2 did but it also feels more solid and has a suspension and solid tires which adds weight.
For a scooter that's meant to get you to work on time solid tires win that said my wife's Segway f30 feels more planted and so far I've avoided loose gravel and wet spots on the hi boy.
Just got my nanrobot x4 2.0 today and based on first Impression I think it is amazing for the money it blends a commuter scooter and a performance scooter
Nanrobot is the worst scooter company I've ever done business with. I, along with many others, despise that brand. Low quality and 100% profit over safety. God forbid you need any post-sales support or parts... Not sure what that has to do with this video, anyway...
@@GingerOnWheels wait so dont buy the nanrobot x4 ?. Btw ive been subed to your channel Ginger for about a month now keep up th good work
I was actually going to buy the nanrobot x4 electric scooter and then ginger on wheels pop up i did not expect that xD
Based on first impressions I say buy it but I have only had it for a day so idk about lo g term performance also ginger on wheels love your videos keep up the good work and thanks for the feedback
@@seanpeterson9030 I own 2 Nanrobot X4's, they are quite torquey.
Nice review man! Maybe I missed it, but exactly how many miles did you put on it? I just did my range test video in 'comfort' mode and got 22.5 miles range (195lbs) It also exceeded my expectations in this department. Also a note on the rear suspension, I'm pretty sure its just for users with the seat. I've got the seat and you can really feel those springs in action when all/most of your weight is over the rear tire. Also, fun fact, you can prevent the grips from moving back and forth by removing them and spraying hair spray inside. :) IMHO this is still a better buy than the Ninebot MAX when you account for features, range, power, and price. Nice job with the review.
I'm not sure how many miles I put on it. I would have liked to test it for longer but a have a a few things lined up for the channel that are gonna take up my time starting this week so if figured this would be the best time to get the review out. I'll post updates about it if anything happens though. Stoked to see your review!
@@RK9Rides how long did it take to arrive when you ordered it from the website?
Than the Ninebot Max G30,IP6 ,10" tubeless,etc..?
🤔 Hmmm ! Sure?!!
It's exaggerated, is not it ?!
Rear suspension isn’t to help with bumps. It helps maintain contact with the road so the brake works better.
Good to see what to look for as I start this shopping. Thanks for the tips.
By far the best review of this scooter. Thanks for your time.
Congrats on 2K sub my dud, i was like one of the first subcriber beffor 500 subs
@@elijahmiddleton8542 i mean bud 😂
Mines coming in the mail, great vid dude!! 👍
@@zfish It never came 🥲
@@xenith8116 Dag sorry to hear that. Hope you got a refund and a scooter from another vendor
@@mike_t_007 I’m going to refund it and buy myself a nice BMX bike lol!
I live in a particularly hilly area, and my route to work goes over two small but steep hills. hopefully I find a scooter capable of climbing said hills, that doesn't cost as much as a used car.
Excellent review. Really appreciate it 👍🏽
im interested in this scooter, your review was really good, thank you for a the content
I Ordered the S2 Pro last week the specs then matched specs you listed. Now they have changed specs on their web page. It is supposed to now have a 500 watt motor, and only carry 220 max load. I got based off of the 260 max load. Thinking of sending back when it arrives.
I just ordered one, on their website under the specs tab, it says 220 is recommended, while max is 260lbs
@@gtapner the battery is alot bigger to than the hiboy s2. which helps
I bought the scooter and I love it, but I tried using similar handlebars to what you showed and the caps on the ends didn't go on, and it didn't hold in place properly? Could you do a tutorial or show what kind of handlebars work specifically on this scooter? Love the content btw, helped make my choice between this and the Levy pretty clear!
I like how you took head angle from mtb to scooters
Great review dude. Very complete. Why not use extended grips for added handlebar extensions on each side. Would that be a viable option for this setup?
Good point
I would love to see the perfect bluetooth speaker setup for scooter riding!
Why would you want to annoy other people just wear headphones bro
@@nickjeffrey8050 because some people prefer speakers but if YOU just wear headphones u won't hear it anyway
@@nickjeffrey8050 Makes it hard to hear road noise.
JBL Clip is the best bet
Hey! Would you have any thoughts between the S2PRO ($499) and KS4 PRO ($539)? Thank you!
Hello, I enjoyed this video. Yesterday I found one of these scooters sticking out of someone's garbage can. I just ordered a charger for it because the scooter is still in decent shape and turns on. I don't know if the battery will be any good though. I'm pretty convinced to buy a new battery for it after watching this video. I don't know why someone would throw something so cool in the garbage.
I have this one and mine won't top 19 MPH. The only dislike are the bars. I feel they just aren't wide enough. It has decent range. I was able to get 21 miles on Sport mode.
I have the normal s2 shipping as my first scooter, and your videos have been so informative!
I'm wondering about the narrow handlebar complaint, would it be possible to find longer locking grips to get 2 birds with one stone?
Hey man how have you liked it would you recommend?
@@sethandrade4703 Absolutely. I can't speak for if theres better scooters now for the price point, but the s2 worked incredibly well for me
I wish it had a phone charging port near the handlebars.
I believe the word you’re looking for is “caster” not head angle.
I weigh 205 & I hit 19mph great scooter . I have the s2 tho. A little bumpy over cracks but really fun. Idk how long the stem will last with all the bumps
Buy handlebar extensions
Thank you so much for this detailed review…. I saw this one on Amazon & wanted more information. They also have this model with a 500w motor…. Is it worth the extra $100+? I’m just sick n tired on flats on my bicycle & it’s unreliable on my weekday commutes. I’m sick n tired of dodging broken glass & not knowing if I’m gonna get another flat & be stranded 3-4 miles from work or home.
I have the s2 and this is also a really good scooter. It was my first scooter and it goes 18.6 mph and is $400
someone on reddit said theirs died in week 6, be careful
but glad to hear
@@felixftw4702 even if that was the case they’d replace no problem.
@@felixftw4702 bad scooters and product happen. That’s what warranty is for
@@alejandroshernandez2525 I had the same scooter from amazon die twice but now I know $500 is minimum for a scooter that wont break
@@El-Jefe the one that I bought was a knockoff m365 for $300, died twice
the person on reddit had a hiboy s2
You said “this retails for $549.99” but the graphic numbers you popped in there reads $545.99 (just an FYI)
All your videos are great. I have the Hiboy s2 scooter I love it. In jamaica everyone is going crazy over it belive me. I would like to ask you. It go's 19 MPH and it's got Km/h... Now go's up 30 Km/h now is it my mind . But seems to go faster. Lol 😂 am I right? I'm thinking to buy Splat twin. As another alternative. Hope you can do a review on it
Great video as always!
You know that you can loosen the back suspension to give more travel and will be softer
the s2 pro has a 500w battery now!
I got the scooter in October last year and it did me great for about 10 month until the Folding mechanic some how broke or got extremely loose I checked it and there were two screws missing then big Big problems occurred after that the handlebar after a 10 mile ride would end up oneven with the tire. A few days ago The motor didn't function correctly I think the gears got messed up. It sounded like a dirt bike Just huge problems occurred like that. I bought a Varla eagle one yesterday and hope to update you guys
Can I ask why you weren't able to get them fixed? did you not get the warranty? seems like all things they should fix, no?
I'm happy I picked Xiaomi Mi Pro 2. More robust and easily hackable. On full charge it goes 33km/h (20.5miles/h) @27A and real range is 25-35km (depending on hills).
Anyways, great review!
The hiboy s2 pro is better
Yeah the Hiboy is better unfortunately
8:55 That 90s jacket 😆😆😆whew.. damn
Really nice review. I’m debating over this and 2 other scooters being the go trax elite/ g4, and the kugoo G max that I’ve heard great things about. Hav you ridden any of these? My gripe w all these scooters is the warranty which shows they don’t tend behind the product.
G4 has upgraded ride quality due to air tires but S2 Pro has better brakes
The "slime" puncture repair fluid was a great tip for newbies like myself. 👍
Could you possibly give us some more tips on:
- What causes punctures?
- How to avoid punctures.
- How to replace inner tubes, tips tools etc
Don't run over shit that is sharp
Punctures of what exactly?
@@BlyGuy Tyre punctures on scooters...
Keeping them pumped up to the exact psi marked on the tyre helps...
@@SeeThroughist that's what I thought and was confused considering the S2 has solid tires and not pneumatic
The 20 mph screws me completely since anything above 15,5 mph is illegal in Finland.
My question for you is. I brought this scooter also it is very nice. However does this scooter performs when there is water present on the pavement. I used only once slipped on a puddle of water and fractured my leg had to have surgery and no longer able to ride it.
Amazing review thank you brother
Great, but I need a scooter with great battery life and great range with puncture proof tires and a waterproof rating with great headlights and awesome braking along with a bell!
great review thanks
Excellent review!
If you had to Choose between both scooters, which would you chose... Hiboy S2 Pro or Hover 1 Alpha Pro?
So, all of the video showing the scooter standing still were on grass. All of the video of it moving were on pavement. I'm curious to know the performance of this scooter on grass for short distances.
I want to get one for a job where I will need to navigate about the equivalent of a city block on grass several times a day, on the weekends. I have to do it relatively quickly and in dress shoes. Doing this in the past is a killer on my old feet and I can't use a golf car like the owners.
Any experience with something like that?
Great review
epic scooter! thinking of getting one
Anybody have any recommendations for the handlebar extensions?
Why don't you just pull your handlebar grips out an inch on each side for more width? Or will that compromise safety? Never been on one yet. Good vid
I think because the e brake and throttle cannot be moved out with the handle bar
You should try the Xiaomi pro 2 it seems like a really good scooter for the price
My shit go 30 mgh if I turn the speed limit up and and it go 35 down a hill I live this scooter best thing happened to me
Awesome reviews! Can you try to give me an opinion on a HIBOY max v2
Some say the S2/S2 Pro line are better
Does the basic model already have a hole ready to mount in the seat? Like can you purchase the seat/mount separately after purchasing the basic Hiboy S2 Pro Electric Scooter w/out the seat initially?
Just bought this scooter. Let's see how it goes for me 😆
Which scooter would you recommend in this price range? Your negatives made me think twice about this scooter.
Stick with the Xiaomi, trust me on this, the build quality is on another level and with custom firmware you can improve performance if you need to, go for something like the Xiaomi 1s, the ride quality on these solid tire types are horrendous.
Except you can’t find the 1S anywhere in the US
Hi there what brand name HEAD LIGHT do you have? please thank you..HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 🎄😎👍🏽🍻🍷🍾
What do expect for a $700 scooter with seat? I have one and bought accessories and now it’s a Cadillac
At 6’3” and 240lbs, will this accommodate?
u should do a review on the Hiboy MAX
It's a 500W motor
The red brake throttle is kinda dumb. They could've used the brake lever with integrated e-brake. I know the Hover scooter has that. Pressing the brake lever a little will activate the E-brake.
It does
If anyone is curious hiboy s2 and the pro is the same scooter just the pro has a better battery and slightly larger tires but the same tires
Thank you
Get the pro
False the pro has a stronger motor then the s2
@@SsShadowbaneSsS Yeah false now, the motor used to be the same. They upgraded it
@@DyLemmaOG I’m confused I’m hearing a lot of diff things bout the actual motor people saying 500 and 350 but even the 500 r still 350 so what r they taking bout?
Any recommendations for a scooter for me? My daily commute is 6 miles total but the way there is almost all uphill. Plus money is sorta tight so I’m leaning towards a lower end price
You mentioned shocks in the scooter accessories video. Will those work for this scooter?
What is the size half Nelson lock-ons that would work on the hiboy? Most of ones say 8 inches in length...
I believe this scooter has a 500watt motor maybe that’s a new improvement a year later…
Can a 6'2" 330 pound man ride this? Or we he crush it to dust? Asking for a friend
What features does this have that the regular S2 doesn't? Would it be worth a casual user to upgrade to Pro or will the standard suffice?
S2 Pro = 500 watt
S2 = 350 watt
Maybe it's because I have the newer model but mine has a 500 watt motor not a 350
yea cool video man can barley get 10mph out of my bike id like to get the models that the big citys like portland oregon or seattle washington ect. have
How is the power on inclines compared to the hover 1 alpha? Is it any better on inclines?
