A few years in the past, I reviewed an innovative and interesting scooter: the Hiboy VE1 Professional. Not like most scooters, it was extra of a cross between a kick scooter and a bicycle. By having bike wheels and tires as a substitute of little rollerblade wheels, it was much more secure, even at prime pace. In any respect speeds, it was simply much more comfy and enjoyable to experience.
Now, Hiboy is taking issues to the following stage with the S2 Professional and the MAX Professional! And these superior scooters can be found for some nice costs for Black Friday.
The S2 Professional
In brief, the S2 Pro is probably the most aggressive electrical scooter you may get for below $400. Supposed for a dependable commute, it has wheels that stay someplace between these of a rollerblade and people of a motorcycle. With a tough core and compact pneumatic tires, the bike is each compact sufficient to hold contained in the constructing in addition to secure and protected sufficient to make use of for an actual commute. Between the additional rotating mass, the grip, the twin rear suspension, and the overall (however manageable) heft of the machine, it’s one thing most anybody would really feel comfy driving to work.
The EV system can also be spectacular. The 36-volt battery pack (11.6 amp-hours, or a bit over 400 watt-hours) gives as much as 25.6 miles of driving vary (in preferrred situations). The five hundred-watt motor can propel the scooter to speeds of as much as 19 MPH. It additionally comes with regenerative braking, which not solely helps lengthen the vary, however offers you higher security and management by having two braking methods.
Different comfort and security options embrace two pace modes, LED lighting, cruise management, and app connectivity. Weighing in at 37 kilos, it’s nonetheless straightforward sufficient to take inside to maintain the car away from thieves.
The MAX Professional
When you’re on the lookout for one thing with a bit extra pep, Hiboy has an alternative choice: the MAX Pro. By “MAX,” Hiboy signifies that the scooter has the longest vary in its class. With a 48-volt, 15 amp-hour battery, the battery pack may give as much as 46 miles of vary. However, it doesn’t get that vary by going gradual. The motor can put out as much as 650 watts and obtain a prime pace of as much as 22 MPH.
Stability and luxury are additionally improved, with 11-inch-wide pneumatic tires, twin suspension, and twin braking. Past that, it has the entire options of the S2 Professional above, making all of it improve and no sacrifice. With a value of $639, it’s not an enormous monetary leap for the improve.
However, make sure to catch these offers quickly earlier than the vacations come and go!
