Hiboy Titan Electric Scooter Review


After spending a few weeks with the Hiboy Titan Electric Scooter, I must say, my urban commuting experience has been fully transformed. This is a scooter that promises heavy-duty performance and it lives up to that expectation in many respects. This review aims to dissect the nuances of the Titan, offering insights into its day-to-day performance.


First Impressions


When the Hiboy Titan first arrived, I was immediately struck by its robust frame. The scooter sports a chunky, no-nonsense build that exudes durability. Assembling was fairly straightforward, and in no time, I was ready to take it out for its maiden voyage.


The Titan's design is pragmatic, favoring function over frills. It looks like a workhorse rather than a show pony, with wide handlebars and large tires that promise stability and comfort. The integrated kickstand is sturdy, making parking the scooter hassle-free.


Performance


Powered by an 800W brushless motor, the Hiboy Titan doesn't shy away from power. The acceleration is brisk, reaching its top speed of around 25 mph with ease. It's not the fastest scooter I've ridden, but it's more than sufficient for urban environments.


Climbing hills, the scooter maintains its vigor. The manufacturer claims it can handle inclines of up to 20 degrees, and in my experience, this holds true. It tackled the hills in my neighborhood without significant speed loss, which is impressive for a scooter at this price point.


The dual braking system, which couples a disc brake with an e-brake, provides substantial stopping power. The brakes are responsive without being overly sensitive, giving a sense of security when navigating through traffic.


Ride Comfort


The 10-inch pneumatic tires combined with a competent suspension system result in a surprisingly smooth ride. Potholes and bumps are dampened effectively, which is more than I can say for some scooters I've tested. Over extended rides, this attention to comfort is something you come to appreciate deeply.


The deck is spacious, allowing for a comfortable stance even for a rider with larger feet like myself. And, remarkably for its sturdy build, the Titan maneuvers with more grace than one would expect. It's not as nimble as some lighter scooters, but it strikes an excellent balance between stability and handling.


Battery Life


With a claimed range of about 28 miles, the Titan's battery life is quite commendable. During my testing, riding at varied speeds with frequent stops, I consistently got around 25 miles. It's more than adequate for daily commutes, and unless you're planning extremely long trips, range anxiety won't be an issue.


Charging time is a bit on the longer side, requiring about 6 hours for a full charge. But, with proper planning and overnight charging, this shouldn't pose much of an inconvenience.


Portability


At 51 lbs, the Titan is far from the lightest option on the market. The folding mechanism is solid and user-friendly, but the scooter's weight makes it cumbersome to carry for more than a short distance. If your commute includes flights of stairs or frequent lifting, this is a critical point to consider.


Build Quality and Durability


The build quality of the Hiboy Titan is commendable. It feels solid, and after several weeks of regular use, the signs of wear are minimal. All fixtures and fittings remain tight, and there's an overriding sense that this scooter will last through many commutes.


Final Thoughts


If you're in the market for a durable, comfortable, and powerful electric scooter, the Hiboy Titan is a compelling choice. It's an optimal commuter scooter for those who prioritize performance and comfort over featherweight portability.


While it may not be the ideal choice for those who have to carry their scooter frequently, for everyone else, the Titan is a dependable workhorse. It provides a smooth ride, substantial range, and the necessary features to make it a standout in its price bracket.


For me, the Hiboy Titan has become a reliable partner in my daily journeys, offering a glimpse into a future where personal electric transport could very well replace the need for a car for city dwellers.


Update After Over 6 Months of Use


Having used the Hiboy Titan electric scooter for over six months, the experience has solidified some of my initial impressions while revealing new facets of long-term ownership.


Extended Performance Insights


The Titan's robust motor continues to deliver powerful performance without any degradation. However, I have noticed that battery performance has begun to wane slightly. While initially I enjoyed close to the 28 miles per charge, it now hovers around 20-23 miles on a regular use basis. This is typical for many electric scooters and batteries in general, but worth noting for potential long-term users.


Durability and Maintenance


The rugged build of the Titan has survived the test of time with minimal maintenance issues. All major components including the motor, frame, and tires have held up well. However, regular maintenance checks are advisable as I’ve had to tighten some bolts and adjust the disc brakes to keep it in optimal condition. The deck's grip tape has also worn down somewhat, which is easily replaceable but important for safe use.


Portability and Practicality


The weight of the scooter continues to be a double-edged sword. While its heft contributes to its stability and durability, it remains cumbersome for multi-modal commutes that involve public transport or flights of stairs. This might not be the best choice for those who frequently need to fold and carry their scooter over long distances.


Conclusion


After more than half a year with the Hiboy Titan, it remains a highly recommended choice for those looking for a reliable, comfortable, and robust urban electric scooter. While it's not without its minor drawbacks, the positives continue to outweigh these, particularly in terms of performance and durability. It suits urban commuters looking for a serious transit solution more than casual or infrequent riders.
