Today, we’re taking a look at the HiBoy Titan, an electric scooter with a large rugged
build, a top speed of 25mph, a rear wheel 800 watt motor, and an advertised range of
28 miles.
We also have a 5% off coupon code in the description of this video to save if you buy a HiBoy Titan.
For shipping, it comes double boxed, and inside the product box you’ll find the scooter
well packaged and nearly fully assembled.
To set it up, all you need to do is secure the handlebars to the stem with the included
hardware.
Looking at the design of the Titan, it has a heavy duty and rugged looking frame, that
features a suspension mechanism on both the front and back wheel.
This also gives a ground clearance of 6 inches, which is much higher than most other scooters
we’ve tested.
The wheels are 10 inch tires with air tubes and tire tread that’s good for both street
and off road riding.
For the controls, on the left hand side of the handlebar there’s one set of buttons
for the horn and lights.
While another set of buttons gives the ability to power on and toggle between mode and different
settings of the scooter.
On the right hand side of the handlebars is the thumb throttle to accelerate.
The LCD display of the Titan is large and bright, even in direct sunlight.
It displays all the important information including mode, speed, distance, average speed,
and battery life remaining.
There’s 3 modes for the Titan: Eco, Standard and Turbo, with the top speed of 25mph in
Turbo mode.
You can also go into the settings and change specific settings, such as turning on or off
kick-start mode, a safety mechanism where you need to first kick push the scooter to
engage the throttle.
The motor is a 800watt brushless DC motor located in the rear wheel, powered by a 12.5
amp hour 48v battery that’s housed inside the platform of the scooter.
Riding the scooter, it’s comfortable with the bottom platform giving plenty of space
for your feet.
The Titan has a max rider weight of 220lb, and the riders you’re seeing in the video
are between 160-170lbs with a height of 5 foot 11, or 180cm.
The acceleration of the Titan is smooth and steady on eco and standard more, but can feel
a little jerky on turbo mode.The faster modes may take some getting used to, but the motor
is extremely quiet making the scooter near silent while riding.
It does come with a horn, and the beep is a decent level, not too loud and annoying
but loud enough so people can hear you coming.
Going uphill, the Titan can still take on most hills you’ll encounter on your ride.
We tested a pretty steep hill that’s around 18 to 19 degrees grade, and that’s about
where it started to reach its max.
When it comes to braking, the Titan has both dual front and rear disc brakes.
They work great and allow you to come to a full stop, and you can even lock up the rear
brake for some nice power slides.
For range, they advertise a total of 28 miles.
In our riding tests, we did a full range test riding mostly on the street including a few
steep hills, along with some dirt paths.
We rode only in Turbo mode going 20-25mph.
By the end of the ride, we had done 17 miles.
In order to get the full 28 miles of advertised range, you would need to ride in Eco or Normal
mode at slower speeds.
For lights, the Titan features a front LED light located on the bottom front of the scooter,
while the rear light is located on the rear fender.
It also has a string of LED lights built into the deck on both sides, that does a series
of strobes in all different colors.
It looks cool and helps make sure cars will see you on the road, but make sure you like
this functionality because you can’t toggle on or off the light show separately.
Another aspect we noticed on the Titan is the turning radius of the stem is much smaller
than most other scooters we’ve tested, due to its unique design.
While this isn’t a concern while riding, you do notice it when trying to maneuver it
sideways for storing.
When folding the stem of the scooter, you need to unscrew the big circular screw on
the front, which then releases the stem to fold down.
However, the stem doesn’t attach to the bottom.
This makes the Titan hard to carry, and with the weight of 50 lbs, we recommend this scooter
to either be stored in a garage or locked outside.
Speaking of locks, we really like the holes on the front of the frame that allow for even
large locks to be placed through it, such as chains.
For locks, we recommend either a Kryptonite Chain, but if you’re looking for something
more compact the FoldyLock is super compact and lightweight, and can retract so you can
quickly lock it anywhere outside.
They even have different colors like this special rainbow edition.
Alright, that’s it for now.
