On a roll: This electric scooter is still $100 off at Amazon's 4th of July sale

There are scooters, and then there are scooters. We're about to introduce you to the latter variety — scooters so smooth, so fast and so popular, they'll run circles around that old rusty Razor you have in the garage. The brand is Hiboy, and these guys are super sophisticated and designed especially for adults, making them a sleek way to get around if you have a short commute (not to mention that they're sooo much easier to store than a bike). Summer's in full swing, so whether you want one for yourself or to give as a gift, you're in luck: Amazon's just slashed the price of the Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter by a jaw-dropping $100!

Oh, and that's not all that Amazon has slashed! Get a load of the myriad multi-category steals they have on tap for our nation's birthday.

Why is this a good deal? ??

Electric scooters aren't cheap at baseline, so scoring $100 off is a big deal. Plus, at $350, this is one of the lowest prices the Hiboy S2 has been in ages.

Why do I need these? ??

Electric scooters can help you get around in a jiffy without sucking up precious gas. But the Hiboy S2 features a powerful motor that will help you travel up to 17 miles at speeds of up to 19 miles per hour, giving you plenty of options for getting around.

This scooter has a smooth acceleration, along with plenty of safety features like front, middle and rear lights, along with a double braking system. The S2 comes with its own app, which allows you to lock your scooter, customize speeds and set cruise control, all from your phone.

If parking is an issue for you, know this: The S2 collapses and folds up small for easy storage. Meaning, you can stash it in your car trunk, under a subway seat and even in a closet.

The S2 comes with its own adjustable seat that you can attach and detach as desired, too.

What reviewers say ??

Nearly 2,300 Amazon shoppers are all revved up about the S2's smooth and easy performance.

Pros ??

"This thing is very peppy and has a lot of get up and go! It zips along quite nicely and keeps up with my other half’s scooter and passes them," shared a happy shopper.

"I take this weekly to the train and it’s zippy, reliable and holds a charge well," said a satisfied scooter. "Part of my commute also has a fair incline, perhaps 15 degrees, and the Hiboy still clocks in approximately 10 mph."

A fellow fan revealed that the scooter has a "quick charge. Easy assembly. Seems sturdier than others we’ve had. Love that it has an app. Great directions for changing out a tire if necessary."

Cons ??

"The rear brake rotor and caliper WILL rust if you get them wet, so you'll just need to clean them/keep the fasteners/brake cable oiled, and you'll be fine," said one owner.

"Definitely made for smooth roadways, although it can handle some bumps," shared a user. "Rough sidewalks are tough, but the manual says use it in the road, so that’s a given."

"This scooter is good enough if you want to get around places that are like 3 miles there and back in sport mode, but don't rely on this scooter for commuting long distances," said a reviewer.
