About the Reviewer
Simon Smith is a Polish content creator focused primarily on electric scooters, e-bikes, performance testing, and practical ownership advice. His reviews commonly include GPS speed verification, handling tests, equipment comparisons, and real-world riding impressions.
In this review, Simon examines the BOYUEDA M2, comparing it directly with the BOYUEDA S5-11. His testing covers maximum speed, throttle response, suspension, lighting, stability, and general ride quality.
BOYUEDA M2 Overview
The M2 is a large 72V dual-motor electric scooter designed for riders who prioritize performance, stability, and battery capacity.
Its principal specifications include:
- 72V 40Ah battery
- Approximately 2,880Wh of energy
- Dual-motor drive
- Advertised peak output of up to 10,000W
- 12-inch road tires
- Hydraulic brakes
- Adjustable rear suspension
- Steering damper
- RGB deck lighting
- Dual charging capability
- A curb weight of approximately 53.3 kg
The battery offers around 600Wh more capacity than the S5-11 used for comparison. According to one enthusiast in the comments, the M2 also uses LG battery cells, an important detail for riders concerned about battery quality.
Design and Construction
The M2 follows the familiar muscular design language of BOYUEDA’s high-performance scooters. Although it resembles the S5-11, it is larger and more substantial.
The deck measures approximately 62.5 cm long, around 7.5 cm longer than the S5-11’s deck, and is also about 1 cm wider. This provides additional standing room and contributes to a more planted riding position.
Other physical differences include:
- Longer and heavier rear swingarms
- Larger 12-inch wheels
- A more substantial overall chassis
- A rear spring with adjustable preload
- Handlebar-mounted turn signals
Simon describes the road tires positively, noting their attractive tread and profile. Riders intending to use the M2 more frequently off-road can also fit dedicated all-terrain tires.
At 53.3 kg, the M2 is around 6.1 kg heavier than the S5-11. That weight makes carrying it upstairs difficult, but it also contributes to the scooter’s reassuring stability at speed.
Battery and Charging
The 72V 40Ah battery provides approximately 2,880Wh, making it one of the M2’s most significant upgrades.
BOYUEDA supplies two fan-cooled 5A chargers, allowing riders to use both charging ports and reduce charging time. This is especially useful with a battery of this size.
Simon did not conduct a complete range test because of inconsistent weather and strong winds. As a result, the video does not provide a verified real-world range figure. Any range claim should therefore be considered separately from the performance results covered in this test.
Maximum-Speed Test
The M2 displayed 100 km/h on its onboard speedometer—the first scooter on Simon’s channel to show that figure during a test.
However, Simon also verified the result rather than relying exclusively on the display:
- Onboard display: 100 km/h
- GPS during the same run: approximately 87 km/h
- Highest GPS result mentioned: approximately 91 km/h
- Calculated result after correcting the odometer discrepancy: approximately 93 km/h
The scooter therefore did not achieve a verified GPS speed of 100 km/h, but a maximum of roughly 91 km/h remains a significant performance result. It was approximately 10 km/h faster than the S5-11 in Simon’s comparison.
More importantly, he found the M2 remarkably stable during the run. It tracked straight, felt smooth, and did not create the nervous or unstable sensation that can occur on smaller high-speed scooters. The steering damper and large chassis likely contribute to that confidence.
These speeds should only be explored by experienced riders in a closed and controlled environment with appropriate protective equipment.
Throttle Response and Acceleration
Throttle response is one of the M2’s clearest advantages over the S5-11.
During the side-by-side test, the S5-11 showed a noticeable delay between twisting the throttle and delivering power. The M2 responded almost immediately in both single- and dual-motor modes.
Simon particularly appreciated this improvement because it makes the scooter:
- More predictable
- Easier to control from a standstill
- Smoother when applying power
- More confidence-inspiring during low-speed maneuvers
Despite its considerable output, the M2 does not deliver all its power in an uncontrolled burst. On one motor, it accelerates progressively and can be ridden much like a conventional urban scooter—only with considerably more speed available.
In dual-motor mode, its character changes dramatically. Acceleration becomes much stronger, while the tires retain good grip on asphalt instead of immediately spinning. Simon described the response as powerful, exciting, and impressively immediate.
Single- and Dual-Motor Riding
The selectable drive modes give the M2 more versatility than its headline specifications might suggest.
Single-motor mode
On one motor, the scooter behaves calmly and predictably. Simon found it possible to apply full throttle without the M2 aggressively pulling away. The display indicated approximately 72 km/h at maximum speed on one motor, although this was not presented as a GPS-verified result.
This mode may be useful for:
- Relaxed riding
- Conserving battery
- Managing power on lower-grip surfaces
- Riders adapting gradually to the scooter
Dual-motor mode
Activating both motors produces much stronger acceleration and transforms the M2 into a serious performance machine. Simon emphasized how quickly it reacts to small throttle inputs and how strongly it accelerates at higher speeds.
Dual-motor drive should also be particularly valuable on loose or uneven terrain, where power delivered through both wheels can improve traction.
Suspension and Off-Road Comfort
Simon was highly positive about the M2’s suspension. The rear spring includes a stiffness adjustment that is absent from the S5-11, while the scooter’s mass helps it remain composed over uneven ground.
During testing on stones and rough surfaces, he reported:
- Very little vibration reaching the rider
- Strong absorption of repeated bumps
- A planted and confidence-inspiring feeling
- Noticeably smoother behavior than scooters with smaller wheels
The 12-inch wheels play an important role. Larger wheels roll over stones and surface imperfections more easily, improving stability and comfort.
The test scooter had road tires, so grip in mud was naturally limited. Even so, Simon found the chassis and suspension highly capable. With appropriate off-road tires, he believes the M2 could become an especially enjoyable machine for trail use.
Braking and Safety Equipment
Given its weight and performance, the M2 appropriately uses hydraulic brakes. Simon did not identify any significant braking concerns during the test.
Other useful equipment includes:
- A steering damper
- Handlebar-mounted turn signals
- Powerful front lighting
- A white illuminated ring around the headlight
- RGB deck lighting with selectable colors and effects
The RGB lighting can be switched off for riders who prefer a more understated appearance. Beyond styling, the extensive lighting improves the scooter’s visibility at night.
M2 vs. S5-11
The two scooters share similar styling and several components, including the display, front lights, front suspension, and folding mechanism. The M2 nevertheless offers several meaningful improvements:
- More powerful 72V system
- Larger 40Ah battery
- Higher verified maximum speed
- Larger 12-inch wheels
- Longer and wider deck
- Adjustable rear suspension
- Faster, more predictable throttle response
- Handlebar-mounted turn signals
- Greater high-speed stability
The M2 cost approximately 2,000 PLN more in the pricing discussed during the review. Simon acknowledges that this is a meaningful difference. However, he personally prefers riding the M2—not simply because it is faster, but because its power delivery feels smoother and more predictable.
For riders who value refinement, immediate throttle response, stability, and battery capacity, the additional cost brings more than a higher top-speed figure.
What Other Enthusiasts Said
The comments show that viewers were interested not only in outright speed, but also in the M2’s technical details and everyday usability.
Several enthusiasts described the M2 as an impressive or “crazy” machine, while others said they were waiting for a dedicated range test to understand how far its 40Ah battery can travel.
Other observations included:
- Appreciation for Simon’s use of mathematical correction and GPS rather than relying solely on the speedometer
- Interest in the scooter’s immediate throttle response compared with the S5-11
- Recognition that the battery reportedly uses LG cells
- Technical discussion suggesting that real controller-limited output may be lower than the advertised 10,000W peak
- Interest in the ability to return using one motor if the other motor develops a problem
There were also sensible reminders about local regulations. A scooter of this weight and performance may not be legal on public roads in every market, so riders should confirm local rules before use.
Strengths
- Strong real-world performance, reaching approximately 91 km/h by GPS
- Excellent stability at high speed

- Road tires limit performance in mud
- Its power demands experience and appropriate protective equipment
- Local public-road regulations may restrict where it can be used
Overall Verdict
Simon’s review presents the BOYUEDA M2 as more than a faster version of the S5-11. Its strongest qualities are the combination of smooth power delivery, immediate throttle response, stable handling, a larger battery, and well-controlled dual-motor acceleration.
Although the speedometer’s 100 km/h reading was optimistic, the verified result remains impressive. More importantly, the M2 delivered that performance without feeling nervous or unpredictable.
Simon ultimately prefers the M2 because it feels smoother and more confidence-inspiring, not merely because it is faster. For experienced riders seeking a substantial 72V scooter with strong acceleration, large wheels, capable suspension, and flexible motor modes, the M2 emerges from this review as a compelling performance-focused option.
