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
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
