The Hiboy Max Pro has a double suspension system at the front and rear ends and a fat 11-inch pneumatic tire that boasts a comfortable riding experience. Of course, it prevents the jerks and bumps you may experience on different terrains, thereby maintaining the ride quality and stability and giving better shock absorption to avoid fatigue traveling to the rider.
On the contrary, Gmax Ultra has 10-inch pneumatic tires that offer lesser stability on bumpy grounds, making the ride less comfortable. Plus, the suspension is missing here, which makes the air-filled wheels do all the work. You must do extra maintenance on them as they tend to get punctured more often.
In the Hiboy Max Pro, you get a front and rear drum brake and an electronic brake at the back end to provide a better grip on the road in case of sudden braking. This feature is missing in Gmax Ultra.
Hiboy also has three riding modes that are differentiated by different lights to give better guidance to the user.
