Nami Burn E. Check them out. I’m 6’3” 250 and I wanted an e scooter built for someone my size and weight. I hit the jackpot when I found a lightly used and highly optioned Nami Burn E Viper. Made for users up to 330lbs. It is like riding a magic carpet. Hills….even long steep hills, are no match for a Nami Burn E even with my 250lbs on it. I have put 1000 miles on it since I bought it. It’s so great, I would buy another if anything ever happened to mine.

Nami. Bought mine used for $2k. Could not be happier with quality and reliability. It’s so good, if I ever buy another e scooter, it will be a brand new Nami.

If you want a tank, get a Nami.
If you want a tank with plastic cladding & a bunch of digital features, get a higher-end Segway.
Both make solid scooters.
I have no big complaints with my Nami. I'm not thrilled with how the regen breaking functions, but that feature that can be disabled and doesn't make a huge difference.
I'm also in Seattle and my first scooter, a Segway Max G2, would not cut it. When I was commuting downtown I had to plan my routes very carefully. A hill right by my house would cause it to stop and roll backward unless I put my foot down. That was rated 1000W peak.
With the NAMI I can just go right up the steepest hills downtown and keep up with car traffic. It will climb stuff so steep I can barely stand on it, and I'm 220lbs.
I used to plan every route with Google Maps using bike mode, and paid close attention to the slopes. What was most frustrating is that all around, cars are driving 30-35 in 25 zones, and on a moderate grade (for instance 25th Ave from 55th St to 75th St) my scooter was limited to about 14MPH in 22MPH Sport mode. It's not safe to ride around the parked cars in the right lane, and I had people passing me in the oncoming lane. It's a very unsafe situation. Being able to maintain 25 at least keeps them behind me.
