E3 Pro

For a kid the best choice is an e3 pro from Segway. Has suspension so they won’t fall if they hit a crack in the road. If you want to spend a little more I’d recommend the F3. Even better suspension which will be safer

German with F3 pro here. IHMO that’s the sweet spot e Scooter for most people. Wouldn’t buy the e3 pro personally because you can’t tune it easily

The Segway is not heavier indeed it’s lighter. Personally I own the e3 pro and I am very happy with the scooter

If you can get a good deal or discount next year, segway e3 pro is a great campus commuter.

Good choice but might be hard to find under $500 even with BF deals - usually runs closer to $600. For your weight and distance though it'd be perfect, super portable too

Also look at the E3 Pro. Maybe a tad bit lower range (25-30 km for me at 85 kg), but the full elastomer suspension is very good and very reliable.

Yeah so this is a pretty dumb question, no wonder nobody is answering. The best scooter doesn’t exist, especially in the budget range. You have to specify what you want it for and what you care about. For reliability and refinement I’d recommend the Ninebot E3 Pro.
