Compare the Hiboy S2 and the Hiboy S2R

Whether you want a reliable commuter scooter or an electric vehicle to ride around for fun, exploring Hiboy's electric scooters is a great idea. In this article, we'll delve into a thorough comparison between two of Hiboy's popular electric scooters - the Hiboy S2 and S2R.

Starting with the first thing you'd notice when seeing both scooters, the design, the Hiboy S2 and the S2R don’t have many noticeable differences at first glance. Both feature a sleek urban design, LED headlights, and solid rubber tires, making both suitable for a city ride.

However, as you delve deeper under the hood, the differences are more noticeable. The Hiboy S2 has a motor of 350W with a top speed of approximately 18.6 mph, while the S2R boasts a 500W motor, providing it with a higher top speed of around 19.6 mph. Both models have a similar range under optimum conditions, but the S2R’s stronger motor provides better uphill capacity which can take it as steep as 20% incline compared to the S2's 15%.

Hiboy S2 uses a disc braking and eABS regenerative anti-lock braking system for an efficient, responsive braking system. In contrast, the S2R comes with a double braking system, Regenerative and Disc braking, improving road safety.

Both models have excellent suspension systems, but the S2R features a dual rear shock absorber that provides a smoother ride compared to the S2’s single shock absorber.

In terms of battery life, both models have similar capacities. However, thanks to its powerful motor, the S2R charges slightly quicker than the S2.

In conclusion, while the Hiboy S2 and S2R have numerous similarities, the S2R provides a bit more power, a smoother ride, and better hill-climb capacity. On the other hand, the Hiboy S2 can be a cost-effective choice if you're looking for a functional ride without the need for those extra features.
