Our verdict on each
Hiboy
Hiboy suits commuters who want a fat-tire or step-through e-bike with a throttle and a removable battery, and who are happy to buy and service through one company. E-bike prices sit at CAD 1,142.99 and CAD 1,349.99, with a 1 year frame warranty behind them.
iScooter
iScooter suits commuters who want a folding, suspension equipped ride with a phone to call, at an entry price of €159.99 across a range that also reaches e bikes. Support runs on email, chat and phone, and the trade off is battery size, which is where rivals sit higher.

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.
iScooter
Pros
- Suspension is fitted across the range, which takes the sting out of tram rails, cobbles and broken kerbs on a city route.
- Folding is standard, so the scooter folds away for a train carriage, a flat or a small boot.
- The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors and carried separately rather than left on the frame.
Cons
- Battery capacity ranks 19 of 20 on the site, so iScooter trails the brands carrying the biggest packs when you ride long distances between charges.
- Shipping covers FR, DE and ES, which narrows where the scooter can be delivered and then ridden.
- Battery cover runs 1 year against 2 years on the frame, so the pack is the shorter commitment.
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.
iScooter
Who it suits
- City commuters who want a folder with suspension and a number to call, in France, DE and ES.
- Riders who want both a small folding scooter and a full e bike from one brand, with i8M, W6, W9Air, W12 to choose from.
- Buyers who prefer purchasing direct from the brand, where the entry point is €159.99.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders chasing the longest range between charges: compare iSinwheel, listed as GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W, since iScooter's pack ranks 19 of 20.
- Shoppers outside FR, DE and ES, where iScooter's delivery list ends; HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. carries GT28, K10 and is worth checking for a different market.

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.
iScooter
What does an iScooter cost to start with?+
Scooters and e bikes start at an entry price of €159.99 on the brand's own store, and the e bike collection reaches €1,299.99 at the top end. The lower figures belong to the small folding scooters, the higher ones to the e bikes. Finance is available, which softens the larger number.
Can I pay in instalments instead of all at once?+
Yes, the brand offers finance, so a scooter or an e bike can be split into payments rather than settled in one go. That helps most on the bike side, where the collection goes as high as €1,299.99, and it sits alongside the entry price of €159.99 for anything smaller. Read the terms before you commit.
