Hiboy S2 Pro
Budget solid-tire commuter · Reviewed by Drew · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 77
At $422.95, the Hiboy S2 Pro is a budget commuter with a 500W hub motor, 10-inch solid tires and an app that handles locking and cruise control. Value leads at 86 and reliability sits at 89 across more than 5,700 reviews, while quality lags at 70 — solid tires never puncture but ride harshly on rough pavement, and the 25.6-mile range claim is optimistic at 19 mph. Warranty is the weak spot at 55, one year with only six months on wear parts. It fits flat commutes under about eight miles each way.

Should you buy the Hiboy S2 Pro?
The Hiboy S2 Pro is the budget commuter for someone who never wants to fix a flat. Its 10 inch solid never-flat tires, 500W hub motor, 19 mph top speed and 35.9 lb folding aluminum frame make it a practical last-mile scooter at $422.95. The price is the appeal; it is $67 less than the NAVEE GT3 Pro. The compromise is the ride, which is harsh on rough pavement because solid tires and rear-only suspension do not absorb much. If your streets are smooth and your trips are under 15 miles, it does the job. Otherwise the GT3 Pro is worth the extra.
Where it earns its score
- Reliability is the top factor at 89. Solid tires mean no punctures, and the drivetrain has few parts to fail. Value follows at 86.
- Light for its class. At 35.9 lb it is easier to carry than the NAVEE GT3 Pro or any Segway here.
- Disc brake plus regen. A mechanical disc with EABS anti-lock regenerative braking is a good setup at this price.
- App control. The Hiboy app handles lock, cruise control and throttle tuning.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 55. One year, with only six months on wear parts.
- Harsh ride. Solid tires and rear dual shocks only. Rough pavement comes straight through the deck.
- Range is short at speed. The 25.6 mile claim drops to 13 to 18 miles in practice at 19 mph, and charging takes about eight hours.
- Features scores 62 and Quality 70. No traction control, no Find My, a 220 lb load limit and a 15 percent grade rating.
Our verdict
The Hiboy S2 Pro scores 77, Fair Buy, ranking eighth in electric scooters. Buy it if you want the cheapest reliable commuter and your route is smooth and short. For $67 more, the NAVEE GT3 Pro (81, $549.99) adds dual suspension, pneumatic tires, traction control and a two-year warranty.
