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
My kaabo was 3k. Undr best conditions its rated to 112 miles at 15mph but is capable of 62mph. I consistently get 60 to 65 miles of range without needing recharge staying in the 25 to 30mph speeds
You are not the OP? lol.
There are a few scooters with a removeable battery, although it seems to be shrinking. And even then the quick release isn't necessarily all that quick. You still need to trust the security in your area though, as even a batteryless scooter is a target for theft. Off the top of my head, I can only think of one of the Kaabo scooters, and the roadrunner scooters. The updated Kaabo no longer has the removeable battery, as that seemed to cause problems (although it seems Kaabos suffer quite a litany of problems). Roadrunner has filed for bankruptcy (and their scooters have their own list of problems), so definitely makes them a wary buy.
For the delivery scenario, if you rely on your scooter to make a living, there's a good chance you're going to have more than one scooter, so just go home and swap scooters, and charge up the dead one. Faster and way less fiddly than swapping batteries!
