Performance

Electric skateboards with single hub motors are great for high speed riding experience. The 350W hub motor on the Hiboy S11 can accelerate the board up to a maximum speed of 20 kmph. The in-built battery is able to provide a range of up to 10 kms on a single charge, and more if you ride around at cruising speeds. The braking system on the board is gradual on flat surfaces, which is great if you’re learning. However, if you want something with more power and range, try the Teamgee H5 Electric Skateboard.

Design

The Hiboy S11 features a high-quality custom-designed composite maple wood deck. The board is light weight yet sturdy and has enough flex to take on road bumps. The weight limit on the board is a maximum 100 kilos. The battery pack is well protected and is placed underneath the deck. The charging time for the battery is about 2.5 hours, but can take longer depending on the current and heat. This board is 29.9-inches long, but if you want something more compact, then try the Swagtron Swagskate NG3 Electric Skateboard.

Value

As a beginner board, the Hiboy S11 is total value for money. It is easy to ride, and offers smooth performance from the 350W hub motor. The remote controller is also intuitive, and offers four riding modes and four brake modes. The wireless remote control has an ergonomic design as well, and a rechargeable battery. You cannot go wrong with this board, especially if you just want to ride around the block for some good fun. If you want a less expensive electric skateboard with good power and features, try the RazorX Longboard Electric Skateboard.

Hiboy S11 Wrap Up

The Hiboy S11 is one of the best electric skateboards if you’re just getting into electric skateboards. It has a 350W single hub motor that offers up to 20 kmph top speed, and a lithium battery that can last upwards of 10 kms on single charge. The board does lack when it comes to climbing hills, as it can only do an 8 percent gradient, which isn’t a lot. Overall though, a great buy for the price.
