I own a Vmax GT4, and just recently broke 1000 miles on it. It's been a great daily driver. Only maintenece I've had to do is a front wheel bearing replacement, but that was quite cheap and easy to do. Big plus for me is the IPX6 water rating, which has held up without any issues compared to my old Mantis X Plus which died at 300 miles from rain.
Build quality is excellent with no wobbles, and I currently avg 31.5miles on a full charge according to my calculations (closer to 28mi in colder weather, and 32-34 in the warmer summer weather). Now I will say that the only downside is the battery indicator doesn't drop below 100% until 52V, or around 80% battery, so you'll always want to use the voltage rather than the battery % for determining range. I also came up with a rough formula to determine true battery usage based on collected data.)
The raw data in question:

You're probably gonna have to go up to 60-70 lbs to be honest. I'm around your size and I have a mantis x plus, at about 64 lbs I can carry it up a couple flights of stairs if I have to. It's not a fun time but you'd definitely get used to it as you build up muscle and perfect your technique. I haven't done a range test or anything so you might want to look into that further but if I had to guess I'd say you should be fine.
My Urban has 8.5" tires but has front & rear suspensions. The ride feels different compared to when I had my F3 with 10". The suspension on my Urban is better than the F3 but the 1.5" difference does make a slight difference overall riding on the road. Compare my Urban to the Mantis X Plus and its night and day.
PLEASE dont buy a cheap chinese ass scooter, buy a used dualtron thunder one or eagle pro or smth, or a lower end kaabo scooter or a nami klima or smth, buy one of those for like 700-1000$, then spend 100 on a good lock and 150 or so on a good helmet, they will all get great range
I replaced 90% of my car with my G3. It’s light enough to go on public transit and at 28 mph I have made it to work running late several times. If you are seriously thinking about replacing your car the G3 would be a good option. You can also look into Teverun, Kaabo or Dualtron etc but those are heavy and more expensive
