Hiboy MAX Pro
Budget long-range commuter · Reviewed by Drew · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 74
At $656.95, the Hiboy MAX Pro is a long-range budget commuter carrying the biggest battery under $700 here, a 48V 15Ah pack rated at 720 watt-hours. Value sits at 79 and satisfaction at 82, but quality drags at 68 and warranty at 55, and that gap is the story: a 4.1 rating with recurring reports of drum-brake adjustment, loose folding latches and slow customer service. Pneumatic tires can go flat, the frame weighs 51.6 pounds and a full charge takes eight hours, so it misses the buy line despite real range. It is for riders who want distance over polish.

Should you buy the Hiboy MAX Pro?
The Hiboy MAX Pro is a long-range budget scooter aimed at riders who want the largest battery under $700. Its 720 Wh pack delivers a realistic 25 to 30 miles, with a 500W motor, 22 mph, 11 inch pneumatic tires and front and rear suspension at $656.95. On paper that is a lot of scooter. In practice it lands below our buy line because the parts around the battery, from the drum brakes to the folding latch, do not hold up as well as the Segways at similar money. It is listed here for completeness, not as a recommendation.
Where it earns its score
- Value scores 79. No other scooter under $700 here carries a 720 Wh battery, and Reliability holds up at 83.
- Real range. 25 to 30 miles in practice, matching the MAX G3 for a third less money.
- Full suspension on air tires. Eleven inch pneumatic tires with front and rear suspension give a softer ride than the solid-tire S2 Pro.
- UL 2272 certified. The electrical system meets the safety standard many buildings and insurers now expect.
What to know first
- Buy With Caution. A ViperScore of 74 is under our 75 buy line. Quality scores 68 on reports of drum brakes needing adjustment, loose folding latches and slow customer service.
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 55. One year, and Hiboy's support response is part of why owners mark it down.
- Air tires can flat. Unlike the self-sealing tubeless tires on the Segway MAX G2, these are standard pneumatic tires.
- Slow charging. About eight hours for the 720 Wh pack.
Our verdict
The Hiboy MAX Pro scores 74, Buy With Caution, one point short of our buy line. The battery is genuinely good; the rest is not consistent enough to recommend. Spend $43 more on the Segway Ninebot MAX G2 (81, $699.99) for better build quality and tubeless tires, or save with the NAVEE GT3 Pro (81, $549.99).

Questions buyers ask
Is the Hiboy MAX Pro worth buying?
We rate it Buy With Caution at 74. Its 720 Wh battery gives 25 to 30 real miles, but quality complaints about brakes, latches and support keep it below the Segway MAX G2 at nearly the same price.
How far does the Hiboy MAX Pro go?
About 25 to 30 miles in real riding. Hiboy claims 46.6 miles.
Does the Hiboy MAX Pro have solid tires?
No. It uses 11 inch pneumatic air tires, which ride more comfortably than solid tires but can go flat.
