Review on Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter - 8.5" Solid Tires - Up To 17 Miles Long-Range & 19 MPH Portable Folding Commuting Scooter For Adults With Double Braking System And App (Optional Seat) by Duane Kaul

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Update: Firmly Assembled Now => Good eScooter, But Fragile Rear Chassis and Suspensions

Update on 10/10/2020:Hiboy support contacted me and offered S2Pro for the same price as S2, so I accepted because I couldn't find any better escooters than Hiboy's in the market.As I recall my old S2, I think it was the first lot because some parts were obviously retrofitted and some screws were stripped already.Now, I got a new S2Pro, and I see it is firmly assembled; the rear fender brackets are properly attached, and steel bars which hold dual rear suspensions seem to be longer now.Hiboy is really serious about customer support, so you could be satisfied with Hiboy's products in this price range.***************************First off, I really liked my S2 a lot because of the reasonable price, light weight, stylish design, and extra speed and mileage comparing to other escooters.App on Android and iOS is a plus too."1 year warranty and 30 day return without any reason" is great too.Eventually, my S2 was broken because of the frag rear chassis after I rode 40 days, so I got almost full refund by ebay.First week of my ride, bolts which hold rear parts and tires started loosen and rear fender started making noises, so I needed extra works to install extra washers to hold rear fender's bar and tires by my self, which was fine and understandable for me.However, after 40 days, rear parts finally broke up as shown in the pics.The problem is that only 2 thin steel bars hold suspensions, entire rear parts, and your weight all the time, so they finally broke up as I was riding on the NYC bumpy streets. (I had to take subway to go home.)Hiboy support was helpfull and tried to replace with new S2, but I just returned it bacause the same problem might happen if I keep riding on NYC bumpy streets.I saw the same issues happening in the reviews, so I think Hiboy needs to work more on the durability of rear parts of chassis for next generation of S2.Again, I really liked S2, but it was not durable enough in NYC.S2 gotta be tough in NYC as us.
