Circooter - Mate

I ride in a pretty hilly neighborhood too and I know how much that can limit your options. My current scooter is a Circooter Mate and it has been great for the steeper streets near my place. It is light enough to carry inside when I need to and still has enough power to get me up the bigger hills without slowing to a crawl. If you are looking for something that balances price and climbing ability, it might be worth a look.

I have a Circooter Mate. I’ve only put about 50 miles on it so far but it hauls my big butt around very spritely at 25mph and folds up small enough to fit in the back of my Cessna cargo compartment.

Oh shoot it's cool that you are considering the Circooter mate I own one myself. And I tell you it is indeed quite capable and good for the price I had bought it for $550 on September. I have 650 plus miles on it no issuies at all, I weigh 180 lb And from what I see it's definitely capable of holding up to 330, I don't know anything about its Hill climbing capabilities though because of I don't have any hills in my area. I've had my fun but it's about time I upgrade and I'm thinking of the YUME Hawk

Kukirin got some great budget options like the G2 max or https://www.kugooscooterusa.com/collections/electric-scooters/products/kukirin-g2-max-electric-scooter-960wh-power-1000w-motor?spm=..collection_d16d7e61-4b6e-49af-b89f-721146e6d520.collection_1.3&spm_prev=..index.header_1.1 the G3 https://www.kugooscooterusa.com/collections/electric-scooters/products/kugookirin-g3-electric-scooter-2024?spm=..collection_d16d7e61-4b6e-49af-b89f-721146e6d520.collection_1.4&spm_prev=..index.header_1.1 the Ausom leopard is also kind of a combination between the 2 https://ausomstore.com/products/ausom-leopard-electric-scooter lastly the circooter mate that I own https://www.circooter.com/products/mate-commuting-electric-scooter-for-adult check these out n lmk 👍🏾

Well they all have better suspension than most Segway scooters, better speed, battery, range better build quality, not overpriced and parts availability. Not sure if you heard but the Segway p100s were recalled bc they keep snapping in half and it's also happening to the gt2 which is a $2500 scooter! I heard people complain about Segway ignoring them when they try to return their p100s

If u want a slight speed kick then for $800 you can check out the . Kukirin G2 max or g3, Ausom Leopard, Circooter mate which I own these might be great options for you and your wife but definitely a bit overkill for a 9 year old the NIU 100p is great for beginners and small people

In that price, the circooter mate pretty light only 48.5Ibs and their new landturbo is also pretty solid. You’re getting around 32mph top speed, 30+ miles of range, and it’s not huge like some of the big dual motor scooters.

Your list looks solid for campus riding. The Max G30P is dependable but you might find it heavy to carry upstairs. The NIU Air is super light but I have also seen the same mixed reviews about durability. The GoTrax G6 and the Segway E2 Pro are good budget options though they may feel underpowered on hills. When I was shopping for something similar a friend suggested the Circooter Mate. It folds down quickly, is sturdy enough for daily use, and has enough range and power for short commutes with a backpack. It is not the lightest but the balance between portability and ride comfort has been really good for campus life. If you can wait for sales around Black Friday or back to school you might see it drop well within your budget.

Same here, I live in a pretty hilly area too. I’ve been using the Circooter Mate and it’s handled slopes way better than I expected for the price. Solid build, good torque, and still under budget,definitely worth a look.

I ride in an area with some pretty steep hills too and I know how much of a difference motor strength and suspension make. The KQI 300X is a solid pick for the grade you are talking about. I have been using a Circooter Mate for my daily rides and it has handled the steeper streets near me without losing much speed, plus the ride feels smooth on rough patches. If you get the chance, it might be worth trying one alongside the KQI to see which feels better for your commute.

I bought a Circooter Mate for $800CAD and it hasn’t had any problems taking me up hills so far. I live in the hilliest area in my city and it’s been great. Cruising down the trails at 45kmh is endless fun.
