Inmotion are pretty good, my RS climbs hill with ease!

Oh I have. Yeah that killed it for me, the small tires. Tire size is the main limiting factor. I also don't love the rake angle on that inmotion. Almost like it wants me to fall back. But I'm 6ft 3 maybe it's more annoying for me.
Rule of thumb is, the higher the performance, the worse the water resistance will be. I wait a day after it rains before I’ll take my 7260R out. They claim high water resistance like IP65 but in reality, the faster a scooter goes, the more cooling it needs for its motor, batteries and controllers and cooling means airflow. Any place where air can get in, water can also ingress. The only hyperscooter I would trust as actually being “waterproof” is the INMOTION RS 2.0, anything outside of that I haven’t seen any real world testing to convince me otherwise. https://preview.redd.it/dqgjwwz17v4g1.jpeg?width=525&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=537d6ee97455bc0174be800068dd3216b7093856
INMOTION RS is the go to for super scooters. It’s getting a little long in the tooth now though. It’s waiting on a “refresh” to upgrade some components like the screen and wiring harness. I just ordered the Teverun 7260R, that has some really cool features like a built in GPS module that can geofence your scooter or give you an alert if someone takes it. It’s also probably the most powerful 72v production scooter available right now and has the best battery with a 60AH pack with a high discharge rate that allows for moddability. There’s the NAMI Burn-E Max 3. NAMI is the scooter company Apollo wishes it was. Build quality and engineering is next level. Super fast, built like a tank. Everyone who has one around here loves theirs. There’s the Roadrunner RX7 which is the equivalent of a riced out Honda Civic, it has Lumilor panels that are like massive LED sheets and it comes with Italian PMT tires and upgraded brakes as well as a removable battery. It had some issues when it first came out but they appear to be working out the kinks. There’s also stuff like the Kaabo WK-GTR or the Mars XTR but I’m not super versed on them. That’s just a few off the top of my head. Obviously I’m gonna push the 7260R because it’s what I chose but hyperscooters fill a lot of niches and I’d look into it more to see what you want.
Apollo makes trash scooters. The inmotion RS is decent, but they put the kick stand in the wrong spot, if you actually lean hard in a turn you can catch the kick stand on pavment. I would get a teverun fighter supreme ultra instead of the RS.
I have a Punk Rider Pro, as well as an Inmotion RS. The RS doesn't fit the budget (or the weight) but I was around 270 and rode my Punk Rider Pro just fine, and it was pretty easy for me to move it up a flight of stairs into my apartment (weighes about 70lbs). Unless you have to go up like 10 flights of stairs I think you can pretty easily move it in it's folded position. With your weight on the Punk Rider I think 20 miles roundtrip is definitely doable, especially if you can charge it where you're going to. And if you're riding at night the light is actually pretty sick. The headlights suck so definitely get some aftermarket ones and some mirrors.
In motion all,day everyday. Realize it’s a big heavier scooter so if you aren’t having to,fold and carry regularly it’s the scooter to purchase IMO.
Well put it this way, besides the probably big weight and size difference, you can always power down the RS, can’t power up the phantom. I use my big ass Burn E as my everyday scooter. I tried using the Vsett I bought for my gf, but yeah the power isn’t there, plus she has the acceleration turned down a bit. Like 3/5. So I don’t feel comfortable getting a good lead in front of traffic. Of course when it’s gets up to speed it’s not issue. No customizable modes so I’d have to go in the p setting every time to change it. Sure, it’s easier to whip around… but that’s about it. I will lug my scooter everywhere because I can switch from granny mode to balls to the wall in two button presses, with my regular riding mode dead smack in the middle. 52v vs 72v is no joke. I’d go with the RS and call it a day. With all of that said, unless you’re dealing with stairs, the widest part on scooters is the handlebars, you can always put it on the lowest mode if you need to walk with it. Also: being able to adjust the ride height on the RS makes a huge difference. With the stem *and* the deck. Also also: had no idea the 52v phantom is just as heavy as my 72v burn e (102lbs), just about the same top speed as well. So weight is out the window
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty sure the Phantom has its own customization going on where my issue isn’t an issue on that scooter. And the phantom is way stronger than the Vsett. I was just speaking from my experience. It’s really about what controller and motor is packing. But all in all a 72v scooter like the RS is a very different experience power wise than the Phantom. I personally rather have the power for when I really wanna get a thrill. Even though my scoot can go up to 45, I’m mostly near 30, but the torque I have at hand is frickin nuts, and that’s just the weaker base model hauling 220lbs. It’s frightening when my girl rides it, she’s like almost 140. The RS has even more torque. If I didn’t hear so many issues coming from it, I’d recommend the RS Jet. Punch in a smaller form factor. It’s so tiny looking
