All the tech and screen stuff are mostly just marketing gimmicks, and don't really impact the core function of the scooter. If you want a solid reliable scooter, don't care about weight, and want to spend less money, get the G2.
Depends if you're stupid or not. After owning ninebot g2 and now g3, i would highly recommend going for something high tier expensive, if budget allows, and just restrict speed till you get used to riding, turning etc. then you can just unlock it and bam, no need for new scooter since you dont own a toy...
Lol, I currently have 2740 km on my G2 since July 2023. I'm a little worried because I've read a lot of posts saying that after a long ride, the tires lose quite a bit of psi, like 20-25, and that's a lot! That's the main reason I'm questioning my purchase.
I had a G2 and sold it for the GO. I did not like lifting the G2 into my Car, the weight felt so uneven it was all the back to me. I sprained my back lifting it into the CRV once doing so. I moved on the Go and its easier. Weight is even can even lift with one arm for a short distance.
GO is more fun than the G2. More agile, more sporty, faster, go up hills better. Firm suspension
G2 is more stable, confidence inspiring. Maybe the better commuter overall due to this. Depends on your preference overall. One is like a VW GTI the other is a Toyota Camry.
My point was that you don't need to tighten them. You should only tighten the screws on the handlebar when you take it out of the box. I have 4100km on my ninebot g2, 0 problems and didn't even check anything besides the tire pressure
With your weight, almost any adult scooter is suitable for you. Given the short travel distance, scooters with small batteries are also suitable. I would consider Ninebot scooters, as they have more reliable electronics, and the mechanical parts are also quite reliable. For example, Ninebot scooters Es series (Es1, Es2, Es4), F series(F25, F35, F45), G30, G2 (used ones can be bought for $ 300, and this would be the best solution for the money), E2. Of all the scooters listed, the Es series has a folding mechanism, which makes it easier to store it leaning against the wall, placing it on the front wheel, and using a wall mount. Other scooters can also be stored in this way, but due to the design features, they will bulge strongly from the wall, and it is not very convenient to put them on 1 wheel.
Xiaomi scooters also performed well, such as the m365, m365 pro, etc.
Inexpensive kukirin scooters can also be considered, but they often have mechanical problems, and the electrics sometimes fail, although due to their mass production, spare parts for them are cheaper than for other scooters.
This is essentially a copy of the xiaomi m365, but more powerful, and the price is too damn high.
As for me, it's better to pay a little extra and buy a Ninebot G2 or Ninebot E3 (just the first thing that came to mind), they are not inferior in power, they have a double suspension. Well, or look for something better than the hiboy s2 pro, for that price.
