Amazon is selling the Hiboy S2 Pro Electric Scooter as a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale for $412.99. Fairly similar specs to the recent Segway frontpage deal that is refurbished. Might be a decent price if you want to go new for this level of scooter.

Power is only 50 off (500 vs 550)
Max weight is 220lbs for both
10 inch tires on both
max speed is the same
If you're buying this for any other purpose than regular commuting and you are skittish about refurbs then the hiboy seems like a reasonable alternative, especially if you miss the segway deal which looks like it's now expired.
S2 Pro broke today after about 3 years. Rather than snapping off completely (luckily)
the front snapped halfway from normal use. I cannot use it anymore.
It's a known problem, google it.
I'm sad to say this but for safety reasons, avoid this scooter!

If it does somehow, I'll post about it and describe what I did.

I used to think it might be competitors trying to make them look bad, but it's true, sadly.
I'd say your best bet is to sell it, but that would endanger the person buying it.
Mine broke at the stem (a common, known problem as they use sh*t aluminum) and I could have been badly hurt, or worse. I was lucky.
This might be a good alternative for $320 - supports 265 lbs rider (vs 220 lbs for hiboy s2 pro)
and otherwise exactly the same specs as hiboy S2 pro:
It even has left/right dual turn signals! (4 lights total, on handlebars and back of scooter)
