Hiboy S2 Pro Overview
Built for Commuters Who Value Reliability
The Hiboy S2 Pro has become a favorite among budget-conscious riders looking for a balance of speed, comfort, and tech. It’s not the flashiest scooter on the market, but it delivers consistent performance every day. With a 350 W rated motor peaking at 500 W, it can handle city streets, modest hills, and longer commutes without struggle. Its real-world top speed of around 30 km/h feels fast enough for bike lanes while remaining safe for urban riding.
One of the main draws is its no-flat solid tires combined with dual rear suspension. This pairing means fewer maintenance headaches and a smoother ride over cracks, bumps, and uneven pavement. You won’t be dodging every pebble like you might on scooters without suspension. It also helps that the wide deck offers a stable stance, making it comfortable for both short and long rides.
Power and Speed for Daily Rides
While the S2 Pro isn’t built for racing, it has enough zip to make commuting feel efficient. Acceleration is steady, and the throttle response is predictable, which helps new riders feel in control. In Sport mode, it quickly reaches its 30–31 km/h top speed, making it easy to keep pace with cyclists. Switching to the slower mode saves battery and adds a layer of safety when riding in busy pedestrian areas.
The 500 W peak motor also improves hill climbing compared to many entry-level scooters. While it won’t tackle steep mountain roads, it manages 15° inclines with a steady push, especially if the rider’s weight is under the max limit of 100 kg.
Range That Matches the Commute
The Hiboy S2 Pro claims a 40 km range, and real-world results are impressively close at around 38–42 km for moderate riders on mixed terrain. That’s enough for most daily round trips without needing a midday charge. Even heavier riders or those riding mostly at top speed can expect over 25 km before recharging.
The 416 Wh battery works with Hiboy’s smart BMS to prevent overheating and overcharging. Charging takes 4–6 hours, meaning you can plug it in overnight or during work hours for a full recharge. This flexibility makes it easy to maintain a consistent riding schedule without downtime.
Comfort from Solid Tires and Suspension
Many scooters in this price range force riders to choose between air-filled comfort and solid-tire durability. The Hiboy S2 Pro manages to bridge that gap by pairing 10″ honeycomb solid tires with dual rear springs. The suspension absorbs much of the road vibration that solid tires normally pass through to your feet and legs.
Because the tires are puncture-proof, you avoid the most common scooter maintenance task: fixing flats. The trade-off is a slightly firmer feel on rough terrain compared to premium scooters with pneumatic tires and front suspension. Still, for most urban routes, the setup is comfortable and reassuring.
Safety and Braking Confidence
Stopping power is crucial on city streets, and the S2 Pro’s dual braking system delivers just that. The front regenerative brake slows the scooter smoothly and feeds some energy back into the battery, while the rear mechanical disc brake gives strong stopping force when needed. Together, they shorten stopping distances and give riders more control during emergency braking.
Lighting is another safety highlight. The bright LED headlight illuminates the road ahead, while side accent lights and a responsive rear brake light increase visibility to cars and cyclists. All lights are easy to control via the onboard display or the Hiboy app, so you can adjust them for day or night riding.
Smart Features for Modern Riders
What sets the S2 Pro apart from some budget models is its Bluetooth app connectivity. The Hiboy app lets you lock the motor, limit your top speed, switch between ride modes, and even control the lights. It also allows you to enable cruise control — a feature that reduces thumb fatigue on long, flat rides.
Once cruise control is on, simply hold the throttle at your desired speed for a few seconds, and the scooter maintains that pace until you brake or adjust the throttle. This small addition makes longer commutes feel much more comfortable.
Folding, Carrying, and Storage
Commuters who use public transport or have limited storage space will appreciate the S2 Pro’s three-step folding system. Folded down to 116 × 42 × 49 cm, it fits into most car trunks and can be stored under a desk or in a closet. At 16.5 kg, it’s not ultralight, but it’s manageable for short carries between rides.
The latch system feels secure, with no wobble when locked upright. This is important not just for comfort but also for safety, as a loose stem can make steering unstable.
Durability and Build Quality
The aluminum alloy frame feels sturdy, resisting flex even when near its max load. The IP54 water resistance rating means it can handle light rain and splashes, though like all scooters, it’s best to avoid deep puddles. Hinges, bolts, and folding mechanisms have proven reliable over long-term use, with minimal signs of loosening.
The no-flat tires and solid suspension system mean there’s little regular maintenance beyond occasional brake adjustments and cleaning. This makes the S2 Pro especially appealing to riders who want a “charge-and-go” experience without constant tinkering.
Who the Hiboy S2 Pro Is For
The S2 Pro is ideal for:
- Urban commuters who want a reliable, low-maintenance ride
- Riders who value stability and safety over extreme speed
- People living in areas with occasional hills
- Those who need app connectivity and cruise control for convenience
- Anyone tired of fixing flat tires
Trade-Offs and Limitations
Every scooter involves compromises, and the S2 Pro is no exception. Solid tires, while maintenance-free, can’t match the plush ride of pneumatic ones on very rough roads. Its 16.5 kg weight is heavier than some smaller commuters, which may be a concern for those who carry it daily. And while the 500 W peak motor is strong for the price, steeper hills will still slow it down.
Final Verdict
The Hiboy S2 Pro is one of the best-balanced commuter scooters in its class. It blends solid performance, good range, comfort-focused suspension, and smart features into a package that’s easy to maintain and fun to ride. For riders who prioritize reliability and tech integration without spending on a high-end model, the S2 Pro is a top choice.
It’s not the lightest or most powerful scooter on the market, but it delivers where it matters for daily use: steady speed, dependable braking, strong lighting, and low-maintenance durability. The inclusion of cruise control and app integration gives it an edge over many competitors in the same price range.
