I can confirm that this scooter will carry every bit of 220 .lbs with no problems. I still go 22 mph fully loaded. Not the nicest scooter I've been on but for the price it's great!
Finally-someone who has compared it to the speed of a rental scooter. This is something I want to know since I currently rent scooters. Also liked that you put a backpack in the backpack.

I was glad that I found your video because I had thought that the high-pitched whine in my econ was a motor problem. I can confirm that it gets annoying when cruising on the trail for long stretches. Hiboy advertises that this scooter has cruise control but it is not mentioned in the user manual. Have you been able to find this feature?
Fantastic review! Thank you for sharing! I subbed! I just bought this scooter. It was delivered yesterday. I haven't even ridden it yet. Waiting for the rain to stop. LOL Any tips for front cable management? I totally agree with you, there is a lot of cable there! LOL
Can someone here please help me with my Hiboy ecom 14 problem? I received my scooter on dec 28, 2023. I assembled it without difficulty - seat, basket, front tire, handlebars. Same, same the charger and battery. My problem is that I can not tighten the metal ring that goes around the telescopic rod (the rod that fits inside the t-tube). This rod jiggles inside the t-tube. And because I can not tighten it, I can not steer the machine. I can not get the rod tight enough to rotate the front tire. I have called Hi-boy in Arizona (who never return my calls), Amazon, a couple of repair shops, a couple of people who have posted videos about this scooter on youtube like EASYHEIMER and all of my efforts have been pointless. There is a metal ring with a folding lock and a screw through the point where the two halves of the ring meet. This ring goes around the telescopic rod. But I can not close the folding lock unless the screw is very loose. And if I click the folding lock closed and try to turn the screw to tighten it, I can't because the metal ring won't allow this. I am ready to tear my hair out.
GoPro Hero8 Black. I've since upgraded to the Hero9. That's my main camera for reviews, although recently I've started using an Insta360 X4 for some of my ride tests so that I can get third-person shots.

They do have an all-black version as well, so you're in luck!
Me and my husband each have one. We love them. Take them to work and back on nice days save on gas.
Awesome review
Thank you!

Haven't been able to figure it out yet, but will keep looking!

Thanks for the sub! As for the cables... maybe some velcro straps to fasten them to the stem 🤷
NOISY
It's definitely not silent :P

What camera did you use to record?

Dude, please wear a helmet.
