Hiboy S2R Plus Overview
Easy Start, Lightweight Design
The Hiboy S2R Plus stands out as a light, user-friendly commuter scooter. Weighing only 31.5 lb (14.3 kg), it’s easy to fold, lift, and store in tight spaces—perfect for city dwellers or students. Despite its compact design, it feels substantial yet agile when riding. The sturdy aluminum frame resists wobbling and gives a durable feel that often surprises first-time riders.
The folding mechanism works in three simple steps. Lift the latch, fold, and secure with a rear hook. Thanks to its compact folded size—44.1 × 16.9 × 49.2 in—it fits in car trunks, closets, or hallways without hassle. While it’s not the lightest scooter in the market, most users find its weight manageable for occasional carrying.
Solid Power and Rider-Friendly Range
This scooter uses a 350 W rated motor, bursting up to 500 W when needed. It hits its top speed of 19 mph smoothly on flat terrain. That’s enough to comfortably navigate fast bike lanes without feeling laggy. It keeps pace well with urban traffic while still staying compliant in many local jurisdictions and being safe for casual riders.
For everyday commutes, the Hiboy S2R Plus delivers up to 22 miles (35 km) of real-world range on its 313 Wh battery. Most users working 10–15 km commutes will find they only need to charge every few days. Plus, its removable battery adds flexibility—you can swap it with a spare or charge indoors while the scooter stays outside or locked up. The smart BMS prevents overheating and overcharging, helping the battery stay healthy over time.
Ride Comfort Without the Bulk
Despite skipping heavy suspension systems, the S2R Plus saves comfort with 9″ pneumatic tires and dual rear suspension. These two work together to soften ride bumps, making city rides smoother than solid-tire scooters. Riders notice less vibration in their feet and better traction on wet surfaces.
The deck measures about 18.9 inches by 5.9 inches—compact, but spacious enough for a comfortable two-foot stance. The upright fixed handlebars and a balanced weight distribution complete a ride posture that feels natural and free from strain on longer trips.
Safety Features for Confident Commuting
Safety isn’t an afterthought. The combination of front E-brake and rear mechanical disc stops the scooter quickly and smoothly. The E-brake activates gently, while the rear brake gives extra stopping control. This works well in tight traffic or sudden stops.
Visibility is solid too. The front LED headlight brightens the path, making low-light rides safer. Side reflectors and the responsive rear LED light bring awareness from behind. The lighting setup is easy to control with the console or app—a nice touch that combines safety with convenience.
Smart App Integration and Cruise Control
The Hiboy app gives you much more than basic control—it lets you lock the motor, set speed limits, track riding stats, and toggle cruise control. Once you reach your desired speed, a few seconds on the throttle activates cruise mode, keeping you at a steady pace without thumb fatigue. This is a thoughtful addition, especially for daily commuters.
App control also lets you switch between modes, adjust lighting, and monitor battery life—all from your phone. That level of control in this price tier feels advanced, offering more flexibility than many basic models.
Practical Use Case Scenarios
The S2R Plus serves several practical purposes:
- Daily Commutes — efficient and simple for regular short-distance travel
- Errand Runs — gives room for quick trips to local shops
- Campus Life — lightweight and foldable for dorm and classroom mobility
- Leisure Rides — cruise control and soft tires make weekend rides enjoyable
- App-Savvy Users — enjoy tech features without breaking the bank

Potential Trade-Offs
Every scooter has trade-offs:
- No suspension at the front means rough roads can jostle riders more than fully suspended models.
- 22 miles range is ideal for urban use only—longer trips require frequent charging or spare battery.
- The fixed handlebar height might not suit taller riders seeking more ergonomic control.
- Heavier than bare-bones commuter models, though balanced for most users.
Final Verdict
The Hiboy S2R Plus impresses as a full-featured, budget-friendly commuter scooter. It delivers real-world range, a smooth ride feel, solid build quality, and modern app-driven features like cruise control and motor lock. While it doesn’t chase top-end specs, it offers a reliable riding experience for everyday use. It stands out in its class for its value, balance, and smart simplicity.
If you’re looking for a light, user-friendly commuter that covers the essentials and a few thoughtful extras, the S2R Plus hits the mark.
