The S2 Max is Hiboy’s range-king step up from the S2 Pro ($443) already in the catalog. At $649 it adds a 557 Wh battery (vs the Pro’s 418 Wh) for 40+ mile claimed range, plus a 500W motor that can actually climb hills.
What you don’t get at this price is suspension — Hiboy reserves that for higher-tier models. If you want suspension under $700, the NIU KQi 200P or Segway Max G2 are better picks. If you want raw range per dollar with the safety net of UL 2272 certification, the S2 Max wins.
Hiboy now has two products in this catalog: the value S2 Pro ($443) and the range-extended S2 Max ($649). Pro for shorter commutes on a budget; Max if you ride further than 25 miles round-trip.
