Review on Hiboy MAX3: The Ultimate Off-Road Electric Scooter For Commuting And Travel With 350W Motor And 10" Pneumatic Tires. by James Lapa

This scooter pretty much met most of my expectations. For what it costs, it hits all the areas of what makes it a decent scooter pretty well. Acceleration, handling, smoothness, break response, battery life, durability, battery life, and charging time aren't all uniformly exceptional, but they're satisfactory.Assembly is very easy, and everything felt pretty well made and solid coming right out of the box. You almost don't need the manual, since every part of folding, unfolding, screwing the handlebars in place, ect is very self-explanatory.The battery life is very sensitive to the way you choose to ride. If you put it at the most powerful setting and ride at full throttle, you will not go much further than about 10 miles based on my test runs. If you coast, go easy with the acceleration and keep it in a power-conserving setting, then you might think the ride will feel a bit sluggish and boring, but you will have effortless and reliable transportation across the full range advertised. It's faster than walking and about the same speed as biking with a cheaper or comparably priced bike.without any physical exertion beyond just standing; I find this to be a winning quality when it's very hot outside.The tires work well and the whole frame is rugged and reliable, so far. I drove over side walks and cracked roads with gravel near Yale, and while it could do with a good suspension/shock absorbers, the big wide air-filled pneumatic tires do a respectable job at keeping the bumps from being jarring. Had absolutely no problem with modest off-road-levels of cruising.The acceleration is satisfying with a full charge on a flat surface or down a hill, and the disc breaks are mated well with the power for safety. It seems like when the battery is less than half full, or an incline occurs, or the motor gets too hot, the power drops off a lot, and the most powerful setting feels really more like a cross between the lowest and medium setting. If you slow down or give the scooter a break for half a minute, the power returns on a flat surface again for a while.I don't recommend stressing the motor out to its maximum potential for long periods of time. The battery will drain and the acceleration will just stop being fun. However, it will continue to buzz along at a steady 10mph (below the advertised max speed) at the very least if you wish, so I can't complain about it as a good short/medium range city commuter.The headlights and tail lights are more than bright enough to keep you safe in terms of alerting others that you're on a road, but the headlight doesn't provide much more vision at night than just what's directly within about 8 feet of you.which is sufficient to ride around safely all things considered.All in all, you don't pay anything in gas and you don't exert yourself physically to use this scooter. It's very fun for short bursts of smooth acceleration and very practical for commuting, even if the roads driven on aren't of the best quality (thanks to the great tires it has). I wish the power was a little better and more consistent, but I'd say it's worth the money for what it's intended to be.
