F30

Got 2x Ninebot Max G2s. The first one I got was so good I bought a second to ride with friends. I graduated from a Ninebot F30, which was/is a great entry model. Can't recommend Max G2s enough - be patient with sales - I got the second one during a 20% discount sale on Amazon.

I have the f30 and it hauled my 280lb fat ass with 20lb backpack at 18mph around Manhattan

I have a ninebot f30 and where the stem pole is press fitted to the folding base it gets loose there and eventually break off I had to buy a clamp to prevent my newly replaced one from breaking again they could’ve made is one whole piece or use metal epoxy inside literally anything better than that but I like it just not when I have to fix it

270lb here. Kaabo GTR is the GOAT. A good alternative—I use—is the Segway Ninebot F30 (bought at Costco). I swapped out the stock tries for rigid (all rubber cores). This way they never pop. Doesn’t matter how hot the pavement gets, they are great (gets hot in summer in swf). Also because they are rigid they can handle more weight. It’s a solid just cruise around the neighborhood scooter.

Thats pretty light - you can use just about anything with a 350W + motor Probably your best deals are segway F series or Gotrax G Series

Im also a teen that commutes to school by escooter. Segway-Ninebot is a pretty high-quality brand in my opinion. For the purpose you gave the Ninebot E2 or E2 Plus II is a pretty cheap but still solid fit. I currently use the C2 Pro, its a kids scooter and Im very over the max reccomended rider age for it but I its cheap and gets the job done for me. But except for the few times I go somewhere extra, school’s only 1.8 miles for me, and for his longer range its probably better for him to get an E2, E2 Plus II, or maybe even an F-series if you want to get fancy (though I doubt he’ll need the power of an F-series).
