If I were you, I would pay attention to small scooters weighing up to 14 kg, such as Ninebot ES, Xiaomi m365 or analogues. It is better to consider scooters with inflatable tires, they need to be monitored more, but the trips will be more comfortable. With your small weight, if you ride mainly on sidewalks and asphalt, then if there are inflatable wheels, there is no point in suspensions. With your small weight, most suspensions will not add much comfort, but the presence of a suspension in the scooter adds weight to it. Also pay attention to the dimensions, it will be inconvenient to bring a large scooter into the bus / subway. As a person who works physically, carrying heavy loads every day, wearing a scooter weighing even 24 kg is not a pleasure. I don't even recommend a scooter weighing 19 kg to you, it's not just hard, but it can lead to back injuries. If you don't work as a loader, then you won't really like carrying even 14 kg every day. I judge by the example of girls I know who are uncomfortable lifting a Ninebot es4 weighing 14.5 kg, but a xiaomi m365 weighing 12 kg is calmly lifted to the 3rd floor.
r/ElectricScooters • Best budget commute scooter for a short woman? ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • E scooter for 5-10 min commute to college? ->Ah, excuse me, I have the Segway. The orange one also looks like a solid choice. If those are the 2 you're choosing between, I don't think there's going to be a wrong choice tbh. Just make sure you've got the right protection; an unprotected crash at car speeds can really ruin your year
r/ElectricScooters • New scooter choice ->There was with the Segway ES series, but not really anymore. There’s no money in it for them. Their profit margins are way better with 100lb scooters with massive batteries, suspensions, that go 50+ mph
r/ElectricScooters • E-Scooters still as heavy and cumbersome as in 2020 ->Find yourself a segway es1 or es2 kickscooter and use that. They weigh 24lbs and fold up and fit between your legs even with a seat in front. I used mine when i use to take the bus and never had any problems with anything. Its very portable. I put over 1500 miles on it
r/ElectricScooters • Will an electric scooter work for my commute? ->Those scooters you mention are super junky. Maybe try the Honda motocompacto or Niu kqi Air. Only other scooters i know of that are very easy to carry onto crowded busses or trains are the segway ES series, but even those scooters have their pitfalls
r/ElectricScooters • Best Compact / Foldable Scooter for Train Commuters ->There are no good quality scooters that i know of that fold up like the one you mention.
r/ElectricScooters • Best Compact / Foldable Scooter for Train Commuters ->I have the ES1 currently, and it's good, but the quality isn't up there. I got mine off Alibaba for about £450 and it runs great, but it started having issues after. The ES1 is a better option than the other one, though definitely.
r/ElectricScooters • dual motor scooter buying advice ->Yeah, it's a good scooter, but i haven't found the range to live up to the 60-80km range.
r/ElectricScooters • dual motor scooter buying advice ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
