what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out a brand new scooter from highboy the one that i have here today it's called the s2 pro this is
a scooter that has a top speed of 31 kilometers an hour it has a range of up to 40 kilometers on one
charge of course that really depends where you're riding the scooter how heavy you are and so on
and this scooter is powered by a 500 watt motor that's in the front wheel here okay so starting
with a super quick unboxing as you'd expect this scooter comes in a fairly big box and you do have
to put them together about four screws it takes about three minutes to get this ready and on the
road basically all right so taking a look at the scooter itself well this looks like most scooters
out there on the front and on the back we have 10 inch solid tires the upside to having solid tires
is the fact that you're not gonna get punctures so the tires are basically indestructible
but the downside to having these kind of tires the ride is kind of rough now talking about roughness
so on the back here even though you can't really see it there is a rear suspension you can also
adjust how soft or how hard that rear suspension is but compared to most other scooters that have
inflatable tires the ride on this one is a bit rough mostly if you're going over rough terrain
you do feel the bumps of the road in your knees and in your back so the ride isn't as smooth as
other scooters i've tried that had inflatable tires even though we do have a rear suspension
okay so on the back here we do have a disc brake as you probably noticed we don't have a disc brake
on the front but we'll talk about the front brake in just a second the braking power from the rear
is really good so no issues with that and on the front even though you are not seeing a brake here
you actually get a regenerative braking on the front and i actually find this system that they've
used on this scooter really really good so you do brake a bit different than most other scooters so
we don't have a brake lever for the front we do have kind of the same button that we have for the
accelerator so whenever you're going downhill for example you can just break that front wheel so it
is very smooth very quiet and very effective not to mention that if you are going downhill you are
actually recharging the battery while braking so basically if you need to stop nice and slow you're
gonna use the front brake because it does work really good and as i said it kind of recharges
your battery whenever you're braking but if you need to stop nice and fast you're gonna
use both brakes and the braking power is really good on this scooter okay and going back to the
back side of the scooter once again so on the back here we do have a light this light is on whenever
you turn on the lights on the scooter it also acts as a brake light so whenever we are braking
this will flash and here we also have the latch for the folding mechanism so you can fold this
quite easily we have the latch on the front here you lift this and then you do this
and then you can carry the scooter the scooter weights about 17.5 kilos so not the heaviest
scooter out there not the lightest so it is fairly easy to carry but you definitely don't
want to carry this scooter for extended periods of time but compared to most other scooters out there
yes it is a bit lighter the kickstand is on the left hand side of the scooter this is made out of
plastic it's not as sturdy as other ones that i've seen for other scooters so whenever you
have the scooter on it it does move a little bit it's not bad but there is a bit of movement
here we also have an led strip that's red so on the left hand side and on the right hand side
however if you're riding during the day you can't really see that light but if you're riding at
night you can clearly see that and you have this cool light around the scooter basically so you're
gonna be more visible at night the battery pack is located at the bottom here so you're basically
standing on top of that battery pack here we have rubber so your feet are not gonna slip
but i wish this would have been a bit wider because whenever you're
standing on a 12 depending how big your feet are of course you don't have that much room so that is
a bit of a downside moving on to the top here so here of course we have the handlebar we have the
brake lever for the front wheel as i mentioned earlier we have the brake lever for the rear
wheel then we have a small display in the center here on this small display you can basically see
your speed how much battery you have and what mode you are in whenever you you're going downhill and
you're braking you can also see the energy going back into the battery and you can kind of see this
indirect sunlight i mean it's not the best display out there but you can definitely see your speed
even in direct sunlight on the front here we also have the headlight if you're using the light at
night it is bright enough but during the day you can't really see it so not as visible as other
scooters that i've seen in the past if you are riding during the day and of course you have the
mechanical um bell right here i also like the fact the grips don't move left right they don't squeak
they don't do any noise even if you're going over um rougher terrain as i mentioned earlier the top
speed for this scooter is 31 kilometers an hour we also have two mods the slower mode and the faster
mode now if you're riding on a flat surface you can easily reach that 31 kilometers
an hour speed top speed basically but if you are riding uphill you are not going to get to that 31
kilometers an hour considering that we have a 500 watt motor in the front wheel here i was actually
expecting that the scooter would have more power so whenever i ride uphill it feels like it doesn't
have any power i actually tried other scooters in the past that have like 350 watt motors
and they're pulling harder than this one so if you have a lot of heels wherever you live
this scooter feels underpowered on most of those hills unfortunately as i mentioned earlier you can
get up to 40 kilometers on one charge it takes about five to six hours to fully charge this
from zero to 100 the charger that comes in the box and for me personally because i am heavier i can
get about 35 kilometers on one charge however if you are a bit lighter than me if you don't ride
up hills that much you can get closer to that 40 kilometers not to mention that if you go downhill
and you use that front brake you do get some of that power back into the battery so it really
depends on the terrain that you're getting but you can easily get about 35 kilometers on one charge
there is also an app that you can download and control the scooter from the app and the app is
quite handy actually first of all you can lock it from the app so whenever you lock the scooter the
front wheel basically locks so if you leave your scooter somewhere people aren't gonna be able to
steal it because that front wheel doesn't move so they have to carry it so very handy feature having
that locking mechanism i'm gonna i'm gonna say you can also adjust certain things from the app there
so you can change the top speed you can change the way the scooter accelerates you can enable
or disable the cruise control on it personally i haven't really used the cruise control on it but
you can enable that from the app overall the build quality for this scooter is really good i love the
fact that it doesn't make any noise it doesn't squeak it doesn't creak whenever you go over
rough terrain so the lot of scooters that i've tried whenever you go over bumps and stuff they
squeak they crick well that's not the case with this one now because we have those solid tires
the ride is rougher than normal and yes we do have this suspension on the back here and it does help
a bit but compared to other scooters that have inflatable tires the ride is not as smooth keep in
mind that you can also adjust the rear suspension here so you have two bolts on this side and two
bolts on that side so you can make the suspension softer or harder depending on on your needs but
overall yes compared to other scooters that have inflatable tires the ride is not as smooth
so to quickly conclude this video overall really good build quality the scooter is fairly light so
you can carry it for longer periods of time mostly compared to other scooters available
on the market i wish the ride would have been a bit smoother i guess if we would have had those
inflatable tires that would have been the case the top speed is great at 31 kilometers an hour but i
wish it would have had a bit more power mostly if you are riding uphill if you don't have any hills
wherever they are located it doesn't really matter but you will notice that uphill it does slow
down quite a lot and you're going to end up to a certain point on the hill where you kind of have
to push it but overall it is a really good scooter for in-town commuting all right
guys hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one
