Hiboy wants to help people get there with their expanding range of electric products._ Getting around a neighborhood or a big city can be daunting, especially without a vehicle. However, the bus, or even just walking, doesn’t have to be the only option, especially with access to an electric bike or electric scooter. Ten years ago, Hiboy, an electric mobility brand, was founded by a single thought: _every ride should be simple, enjoyable, and full of possibility._ This philosophy led the brand’s founders to open shop in 2014, and since then, they have become a personal electric mobility brand offering scooters, bikes, and kids’ electric rides. As consumers begin to shift toward electric micromobility, products like e-scooters and e-bikes fit into commuting, first- and last-mile transportation, and even urban exploration and recreation. #### Rediscovering the Joy of Every Commute Hiboy’s founders understand that making mobility accessible, reliable, and enjoyable can be important for everyone, especially as city centers expand and the need for electric transportation becomes even more pronounced. For those who do not drive, Hiboy hopes to create smarter, more responsible, and more enjoyable mobility devices. They want to help people enjoy the convenience of grabbing a ride and going, without worrying about filling up a large tank of gas. #### Creating Commuter-Focused Products with Electric Rides Learning to navigate one’s surroundings without a vehicle can be daunting, especially for long-distance travel. Hiboy aims to solve that problem with its range of electric rides. For those who prefer products that fit into everyday transportation needs, products like the [MAX Pro Electric Scooter](https://www.hiboy.com/products/hiboy-max-pro-electric-scooter) are a great fit. It features a company-reported 46-mile range, 22 mph top speed, dual suspension, and 11-inch pneumatic tires. This allows the MAX Pro scooter to navigate neighborhoods or even larger parts of the city with ease.

With a company-reported 75-mile pedal-assist range, 750W peak motor, low-step frame, and three-point folding design, the EX6F’s design suits a variety of needs, including urban commuting, errands, travel, and even RV use.

If you need to get to a friend’s house quickly, but can’t take the time to go on foot, hopping on an electric scooter may get you to your destination more quickly. An electric bike can also carry heavier loads and let you ride longer distances, possibly with less fatigue. #### Electric Mobility is for Everyone Electric mobility doesn’t have to be limited to a select group of people. If you’re someone who requires transportation and who wants to take control of your ability to get places, an electric scooter or electric bike may be able to help you reach your destination quicker and more efficiently. Hiboy’s goal has always been to give more people accessible ways to commute, explore, and enjoy the journey, all while contributing to the electric mobility landscape. If you’ve ever found yourself in a position where you need a quick ride, consider purchasing a Hiboy product from their [official website](https://www.hiboy.com). You can also find them at Best Buy and Costco. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/apg/how-hiboy-is-changing-the-way-people-move/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/apg/how-hiboy-is-changing-the-way-people-move/"},"headline":"How Hiboy is Changing the Way People Move","datePublished":"2026-11-07T03:16:52.227Z","dateModified":"2026-10-09T14:03:59.725Z","description":"How Hiboy is Changing the Way People Move","url":"https://time.com/branded-content/apg/how-hiboy-is-changing-the-way-people-move/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[],"articleSection":"Branded Content","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/apg/how-hiboy-is-changing-the-way-people-move/","name":"How Hiboy is Changing the Way People Move"}}]}] ```
