Pros and cons
Hiboy
Pros
- Throttle and a removable battery are both present, so a rider can pull away from a standstill and carry the pack indoors to charge.
- A claimed range of 120 km on a 720 Wh battery gives fat-tire riders usable distance between charges.
- Hiboy services in-house and runs a spare parts shop, which narrows the gap on dealer-led rivals such as Kalkhoff.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so buyers with a fault get written answers and a help centre rather than a phone line.
- The lightest bike still weighs 29 kg, so the folding models suit a car boot more than a stairwell.
- Crash replacement is not part of the policy, so a written-off bike is not swapped out.
iHoverboard
Pros
- Price from £99.99 puts the brand at 5 of 52 on the site, so entry is priced at the sharp end.
- Finance is available and the bike range tops out at £639.99, so the pricier frames can be spread rather than paid outright.
- Support runs on email, phone and chat with servicing in-house, and a spare parts shop lets wear parts be ordered directly.
Cons
- Suspension is absent on the scooter, so the ride suits smooth urban routes more than broken ones.
- Belt drive is absent on the bike, so the drivetrain is the part that needs regular attention.
- Battery capacity of 270 Wh ranks 16 of 20 brands on the site, well under 436.7 Wh.
Who each suits
Hiboy
Who it suits
- Riders who want a fat-tire bike with a throttle and a removable battery, and who value one company handling sales and servicing.
- Commuters who would rather spread the cost than pay CAD 1,142.99 in one go.
- Shoppers who want bikes, a kick-scooter and a lock from the same seller.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff buyers after hybrid or emtb frames, since those sit outside Hiboy's commuter, city and step through.
- Tern riders carrying cargo, because cargo is not among Hiboy's commuter, city and step through.
iHoverboard
Who it suits
- Commuters who want a kick scooter that folds and weighs 12 kg, so it can go on a train or under a desk.
- Riders buying scooters and bikes from one seller, with commuter, folding and step through frames, finance and a spare parts shop under the same roof.
- Readers who want an own-brand shop to put against iSinwheel and AOVO Official, weighing i9, i8, i9Max, i10Plus, iX5S against GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W and AOVO T1 Pro, AOVO X9 Promax, AOVO X11, AOVO G2.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders after a belt drive or suspension, since both are absent from the parts of the range described.
- Long-distance commuters, because 270 Wh sits well under 436.7 Wh for the site, so pack size is worth weighing against iSinwheel or AOVO Official first.
- Buyers shopping outside GB, DE and FR, where neither the range nor the service network reaches.

Questions about each
Hiboy
What does a Hiboy e-bike cost?+
The e-bike range opens at CAD 1,142.99 and closes at CAD 1,349.99. That band is narrow, so the commuter, step-through and fat-tire models sit inside one price bracket rather than spanning cheap to premium. Finance is offered, which spreads the entry figure over time.
Can I pay for a Hiboy bike in instalments?+
Finance is offered across the electric bike collection, so the purchase can be split rather than settled up front. The amount follows the same entry and top prices, CAD 1,142.99 and CAD 1,349.99, so choosing a cheaper model finances a smaller sum over the same period.
iHoverboard
What does entry cost, and can the bigger bikes be financed?+
Entry is priced at £99.99, which places the brand at 5 of 52 brands on the site for price from. The bike side is wider, with commuter, folding and step-through frames (commuter, folding and step through) and prices topping out at £639.99. Finance is available, so a larger frame can be spread rather than paid in one sum.
How far does one charge go?+
The folding scooter carries 270 Wh and a 30 km claimed range, a headline figure rather than an independent check. Larger bikes take 468 Wh, so the extra capacity sits on the bike models rather than the scooter. At 12 kg, the scooter is a short-commute machine with a 100 kg load limit for errands.
