HiBoy Max Pro electric scooter review - I feel the need for ... -
The reviewer had a fun time testing out the HiBoy Max Pro electric scooter, commending its sturdy build, smooth ride, and impressive acceleration in speed mode. They appreciated the bright side lighting and wide stand base. Criticisms include a need for a more powerful motor for extended range in speed mode. Despite pushing the scooter to its max in a hilly area, it still proved itself highly capable. Currently offered at $200 less than its usual $999 price, the reviewer considers it a good buy.

heybike Mars folding e-bike review -
The heybike Mars is a well-built, sharp looking folding e-bike that provides a decent ride for its modest price. Its large fat tires and ability to compactly fold for storage makes it versatile for any terrain and situation. However, the actual range of the bike might fall short of the advertised range, due to variables like the rider's weight and the terrain.

Heybike Ranger electric bike review -
The Heybike Ranger electric bike strikes a versatile balance between a mountain bike and a commuter bike, boasting fat-tire suspension, a sturdy rack and an adjustable power-assist. However, the bike's convenience is slightly hampered due to its heavy weight and inflexible bottle holder. It has a range of 55 miles and top speed of 28mph for a price of $1199.00.

Heybike Brawn fat tire electric bike review - The Gadgeteer -
The Heybike Brawn is a solid electric bike with motorcycle-inspired design, fat tires, and good performance making it enjoyable to ride. It offers useful features like hydraulic brakes, a hydraulic seat post, and easy-to-read display, and unique features such as the customizable settings in its companion app. However, there were initial issues out of the box with the brakes and gear system.

iSinwheel i9Pro electric scooter review - Goofy name, ... -
The iSinwheel i9Pro electric scooter, despite its unremarkable design and slightly tedious assembly process, offers an impressive and enjoyable performance. Its maximum speed of 18.6 mph, maximum range of 14-17.5 miles, and additional features like cruise control make it an ideal mode of light and fun transportation, even if it becomes sluggish when used at load capacity. The scooter handles bumps nicely and is portable with its folding mechanism, although the power diminishes as battery life decreases. It has room for minor improvements, like a better and more detailed instruction manual and some hardware adjustments.

MICROGO M5 Electric Scooter review -
The MICROGO M5 Electric Scooter is reviewed in detail from assembly to performance. It is found to be a solid device with a high maximum speed and large deck, and many features designed for usability and convenience. However, major safety concern were identified: the pins do not easily pop into the proper position when the scooter is extended, and it is suggested that MICROGO needs to address this to ensure the safety of its users.

MICROGO M5 Electric Scooter review -
The MICROGO M5 Electric Scooter provides a speedy, enjoyable ride with a solid construction and large deck, but fails to ensure rider safety due to issues with pins not fitting into place properly. This issue aside, the scooter is easy to ride and can be valuable for those in urban environments. Contact with the company has been unsuccessful due to poor customer support and the manufacturer's disregard for the identified safety issue.

iSinwheel i9Pro electric scooter review - Goofy name, ... -
The iSinwheel i9Pro is a reliable electric scooter with a decent build quality, reasonable price, and fun riding experience. However, the top speed decreases as battery life diminishes, an LCD display would make more sense for visibility in bright sunlight, and the lack of water resistance could be an issue in wet conditions.
