I have a roadrunner and an Ausom. I've had go Trax, I've had a parts bin scooter. Roadrunner is designed in the US and the build quality is superior to any scooter I've had so far. The Ausom is a great scooter. It was $1000 less than the roadrunner and it gets the job done..I have 1200 miles on the roadrunner and I park it for the winter.
Honestly, in the low price category, like under 500 for for name brands. I am a huge ausom guy, but heir scooters are great. Also gotrax GXL2 is good too, lasted me 4 years. Till the tire gave out. And my parents made me toss it away
That's exactly my point. This ausom scooter on a level surface, warm weather, not too windy, and with a moderate rider weight will reach speeds where you'd generally want a steering damper to avoid subtle or catastrophic steering wobbles.
But if you stay around 37mph or lower you should be totally safe, with both hands on the bars.
I generally see base tier as up to about 20mph, mid tier up to 50mph, and top tier up to or over 70mph,
And while faster scooters generally come with more stable construction quality, like weight distribution, suspension, adequate handlebar width, and steering dampers, mid tier is basically the most a normal person would ask for, and so as such your scooter choice is phenomenal and I commend you for it,
Because most scooter crashes actually happen on base tier models, and lots of folks posting on here post their gripes about their base tier models, while others never see the need to excel past base tier. Mid tier is super ideal. Good purchase, buddy.
Ausom's pretty big. Borderline not portable for anyone who actually needs to go into shops with it.
L2 Single motor goes 30, but I don't feel the speed so much as I'm conscious of it as a data point when on roads.
More of a cruiser than a nippy ride.
I too have a climber as my daily driver scoot.
I Picked up an EUC, an Aero, mostly because it's significantly smaller while going the same speed and more, once you become confident enough at handling the fact that you only have one wheel and are reliant on your balance.
It'll rip up hills before wind pressure and inclines force me to accelerate slower at 26 MPH, but before that it GOES.
It satisfies the "Go faster" itch by virtue of feeling faster and getting more adrenaline going because of the inherent risk involved, it fits in a gym locker, and you can sit on it while it self balances when you go out and have to stop for pedestrian crossings, or are just sitting in line.
You probably won't even enjoy going 30 on a scooter, TBH. Used to have an Ausom that could, and it felt more sterile than the climber without the fun factor.
