For most New York City riders, the Hiboy to buy is the S2 Pro: designed for 19 mph, rated for 25 miles, with a 500W motor, at 37.4 lb. If range matters most, the S2 MAX is rated for 40 miles at the same 19 mph. Need a seat? The Q2 and U2 are designed for 20 mph. Hiboy's faster models, the Titan, Titan Pro, X300, MAX Pro, VE1 Pro, ECOM 14 and U2 Pro, are built to go over 20 mph, so they aren't street-legal electric scooters in New York City. Here is every Hiboy electric scooter we sell, side by side.
