the dualtron victor is way overkill for what you need tbh. for 15km commute on rough roads at your weight the arwibon suggestion makes more sense budget wise
victor's got crazy power but you're paying premium for speed you don't even want. check if arwibon has decent suspension though since you mentioned all those potholes
Me personally for the gt08 is very solid especially if you get it off aliexpress for under $600. I ride it uphill to work each day. Upgrade the front mechincal brake to hydraulic. Up the rotor size. It's pretty good just remember to get a helmet! And steering damper unless u wanna wobble everywhere and become great friends with the pavement.
Actually my only dislike is the seat. Not a fan of it and I can tell the stock one at least will start bending based on how I have to ride it.
Maybe this (this was my first scooter this year)

Coupon put REDDIT60 to put it about $380. Not a fan of mechincal brakes but it worked. Gave it to a friend because I wanted something that can go uphill and cheap (GT08)
I had one. First scooter I brought. Minus the mechincal brake not being fully tightened and almost crashing🙄it's a solid scooter. For the price tho and if u catch it at a good time, I personally would grab the gt08 scooter which after taxes maybe 20-30 dollars more (gotta find the $120 coupon). Worse case a bit over $600 if u don't wanna wait. Do note it's not light for the times it needs to be lifted.
Link cuz too many sellers are selling it: https://a.aliexpress.com/_msSCbE9
Side caution: it does need a damper.
Yeah the gt08 weighs about that a tad bit more tho. I personally would skip the EOEOTWO (Gt06) and get the gt08. Better specs. Faster. Plus the EOEOTWO scooter for myself struggled with any incline which annoyed me.
Yeah man ppl are sleeping on the x5. I love mine. I bought my lady the Arwibon gt08 just to have a scooter to ride sometimes but mines feel like a Cadillac hers feel like a dirt bike alot of torque but she enjoy it. Best money i spent.
If you want to go all out, I recommend the Arwibon GT08 on aliexpress, it's a little over budget but its insane for the price. And obviously for safety, you can limit the scooters power in P Settings to any speed and motor power you like, but it gives you the ability to turn it up instead of buying a new scooter down the road.
Arwibon GT08. There are some codes that knock it down to something like 600/700! Ironically, it's a very heavy scooter so it's not ideal for any amount of steps/staircases, but it eats hills for breakfast.
