Hiboy S2 4+

The app is very poorly designed with informing the user what is happening. What do I mean by this, well when trying to update the firmware on the app it’s a blank page. It doesn’t inform the user wether it’s retrieving data or if the developers never implemented the page. This also goes for their feedback page where it just says “cannot be empty” but doesn’t specify what.

Besides the UI/UX which needs to go through user testing, I think it’s redundant to have a speedometer on the app when the screen on the scooter says it. Secondly there’s no option to lower the speaker volume which is obnoxious in certain situations. I would love there to be an update where we can lower the speaker volume or mute it. The only other solution is soldering it off which may be the way to go if you need something more quiet.

Scooter wise it’s pretty good for it’s price point but this is a rating for the app not the scooter.

I have the Hiboy S2 Pro and it’s a very good scooter. Has good brakes you can change the power of the brakes through the app. You can have a zero start or a kick start with the app. I have a zero start with my acceleration at 10 so I start from 0 to 19 in 4.8 seconds. This app is good, don’t read what people say about connecting. There just dumb, and the reason why the scooter can’t connect is because they don’t know how to go to settings. Also if your app is not working it’s because you did a update. Don’t do that, that’s for the wrong scooter or something, just keep how your’s is and don’t change anything. That’s all you need to know. The ups and downs are nothing really. Just wish they had and update for my Hiboy S2 pro app so I they could add some feature where I can make the scooter change its color of the lights. That would be sick. Anyway have a good day.
Names August and I do cool reviews on this stuff. Adios. 👍😁👋🥐

I have a Hiboy S2 Pro.

First, this app is not essential to use the scooter, but it does offer some useful settings you can’t change another way, such as acceleration and braking sensitivity.

Numbers are much too small to read as a dashboard when riding the scooter. There’s a ton of whitespace so it should be possible to triple the font size.

Speedometer is useless when you already have the big dashboard on the scooter itself, and takes up half the screen. Cool, though, I guess.

Locking the scooter with the app is almost useless because a criminal could reset the scooter in a few seconds and drive away.

Most annoying of all is the speed limiter is hard capped at 19mph, really unfortunate. They really need to offer updated firmware allowing it up to 25 so it remains competitive with scooters that allow custom firmware. The S2 Pro is very stable at speed and there’s no good reason to cap it so hard. You are going to be power limited already so might as well allow higher top speed. I’m tempted to switch to another scooter than can give me that tiny bit more speed, because it makes a big difference in experience.
