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

Dualtron Thunder or Ultra are pretty solid for that kind of power and parts availability. Minimotors has decent support and you can find third party stuff for most components. The suspension bits are where you might have some headaches though - those proprietary shock setups can be pricey to replace Avoid the no-name Chinese brands if you want long term parts support, learned that the hard way

Been riding my Dualtron Thunder for 3+ years now and honestly it's been rock solid - stem's still tight, battery maybe lost 10% range tops, and I beat the hell out of this thing commuting through Chicago winters The key seems to be going with the Korean/minimotors stuff if you want actual longevity, just gotta be ready to pay for it upfront

Reliable and durable? Segway G2 (22 mph) G3 (28 mph) E3 Pro (20 mph) Slightly less reliable, very durable and with a good battery life that goes a little over 30 mph: Kaaabo Manthis x plus Want reliable, durable, with good batttery and don’t mind paying premium for it? Dualtron is as good as it gets. Also Nami

Segway G3 max if you want something solid, reliable, with good features. People will recommend cheaper brands but the problem is the polish really isn't there, and they have genuine durability issues. I own a dualtron. It's fast yes, but it's very noisy and rickety. I recommend Segway the most. The max g3 is my current daily. the ZT3 pro got some good reviews the F3 is well equipped for the price The e3 pro is unbeatable for the price. I recommend spending as much as you *can* spend reasonably. Scooters are the absolute best between 1000-2500$. Beyond 2500 isn't worth it. Under 1000 is a gamble but Segway has options. Also note: Please, when you get one, charge it ALL the way, then eide until it's COMPLETELY dead, for the first 3 times. I've had cells flat multiple times because they sit in the store warehouses so long. After that you should be able to use it however you like. What happens is it'll show it's charged way before it actually is, and will seem to die absurdly fast.

Specs CANT be accurate for this price. It’s absolutely gonna be shit quality too. I’ve owned a similar scooter before and the stem would just undue itself due to being built poorly. I went to dualtron since and can tell you the build difference between these ones and the reputable ones is huge. You will not feel safe on it. I guarantee this.
