MotoTec

MotoTec Lowboy

Although technically classified as an electric scooter, you wouldn’t know it at first glance. MotoTec’s Lowboy has all the markings of a bike, and boy, does it hold its own! Designed with the stylings of a classic Harley Chopper, the Lowboy is one sweet ride.

This electric scooter features a 60-volt, 2,500-Watt brushless hub motor, allowing it to reach a top speed of 28 miles per hour. You control the speed with a variable twist throttle, so you’ll feel like you’re riding a motorcycle.

It’s nice to see that MotoTec designed the handlebars to be tilt adjustable. If you’re buying this electric scooter for a teen, you can rest easy knowing that they will be able to customize the bike to fit their height.

The Lowboy is armed with a 20Ah lithium-ion battery, allowing it to go the distance with a range of 25 to 38 miles on a single charge. And when the battery is depleted and needs to be recharged, you can get a full battery in just 4 to 6 hours. With less wait-time, you can spend more time on your scooter and less time waiting for it to recharge.

Other motorcycle-like features include turn signals, a horn, ultra-bright headlight, front and rear LEDs, and a speedometer. You’ll be able to keep an active eye on your speed at all times while ensuring that other drivers are able to see you.

The scooter itself weighs 154 pounds, so it’s not exactly portable. On the contrary, the Lowboy is designed to be used as reliable transportation. It’s perfect for inner-city commuting and ideal for leisurely ventures.

What’s more, it supports riders weighing up to 300 pounds, so you can count on the Lowboy to safely carry a variety of body types. This is all thanks to the high-tensile steel body that makes up MotoTec’s Lowboy.

Big, grippy tires ensure that the scooter hugs the road comfortably, providing you with precision driving throughout your journeys, just like a real motorcycle. You’ll need the included key to start the Lowboy, so you don’t have to worry about it getting stolen while you’re parked at the office.

Riding the Lowboy is a blast. Its front and rear shock suspension offer incredible support, so you never have to worry about discomfort while you drive. Hills and inclines are also handled with ease thanks to the Lowboy’s ability to safely climb angles of 18°.

It’s important to note that the Lowboy is intended for riders 16 years of age or older. This electric scooter is not street legal, so you’ll need to exercise caution when you ride. MotoTec includes a 60-day warranty on parts if you happen to have any issues within that time period.

Hiboy

Hiboy MAX V2

Hiboy’s MAX electric scooter is the stuff of legend. It’s a popular, well-designed model that continues to be one of the company’s best sellers. So when the MAX V2 was announced, to say we were elated would be an understatement.

As great as the MAX was and still is, could the MAX V2 trump its predecessor and deliver a worthy riding experience? To answer that, we need to explore its specs and features. For starters, the V2 is a lightweight but powerful unit.

At just 35 pounds, the V2 is a breeze to transport and maneuver. Light as it may be, it can easily support riders who weigh up to 220 pounds, which is a testament to Hiboy’s production quality. Tough, durable materials are used in the fabrication of the V2, ensuring that you’re investing in a scooter that’s built to last.

Performance-wise, the V2 is equipped with a powerful 350-Watt motor. You can effectively reach a top speed of 18.6 miles an hour without missing a beat. What’s more, there is a 36-volt, 7.5Ah lithium-ion battery on board that will take you to distances of 17 miles on a single charge.

And when it’s time to top off the battery, 4 to 6 hours is all you need. This is ideal for commuters who drive the scooter to work and back every day. If you travel over 8 or 9 miles each way, you can fully recharge while you’re working and be ready to go by the time you clock out for the day.

You get three performance modes, all designed to complement your driving style and conditions. And if there’s a steep incline you need to pass over, the MAX V2 can easily handle 15% grades without a problem.

Riding the V2 is comfortable and enjoyable. You won’t have to worry about wearing yourself out during your commutes, that’s for sure. You also get a bright LED headlight to light your path, as well as a digital dash that continually displays your speed and remaining battery life.

Winner

This matchup feels a little unfair to grade due to the stark contrast between the two contenders. On the one hand, MotoTec’s Lowboy blows the MAX V2 out of the water. Yet, on the other hand, Hiboy’s offering is more affordable and vastly more portable.

In the end, though, the Lowboy is just too cool to pass up. It’s expensive, sure. But when you consider everything that you’re getting and how amazing this electric scooter looks, it’s worth the investment.
