I bought our dishwasher at the restaurant I work at, a segway dlx pro 2 for $450 at Walmart, seems to be holding up so far.

Grab a Segway from Walmart. Get a kryptonite chain lock to keep it safe. My Segway DLX 2 pro would exceed your needs and I got it for $300. The dlx 2 plus is like $200 and would work too.

G30D/Pis a literal tank. I dont believe we will ever see another scooter as solid and reliable as it in our lifetimes. I think it was a bit of a fluke where a scooter that was designed to last a long time for rentals made it to the consumer market at the perfect time before scooters became popular. We won't see that again. Mine has 5k miles and has been abused to the point the deck pad looks like its been nuked, crashed multiple times drinking beer, and it still runs as good as new with fantastic range so long as I keep the tires at or over 45 psi. Im 225lbs with 25lb backpack and it gets me 24km round trip with big hills and Ill have about 20% battery when I get home and thats full throttle sports mode in 10 to 25celcius weather.

Well its not about squeezing too much out of everything but some of us simply have to commute and we need something reliable to put those miles on. The ninebot max g30d is a legit tank and its known to be one not only by me but thats the general consensus and reviews if you read around. Its annoying because even years later it's hard to beat it and find an upgrade. The newer models and other brands dont really come close until u hit like $1500-2000+. If you want a slick reliable one and you dont need such good range I 2ouls say the Segway ninebot g3 is really nice and its on sale rn.

I think E-Bike is much safer. I drove my g30 for one winter to work because i had no other option. Man i remember sometimes when i drove over ice and felt my wheel spinning on ice.... it was a hella scary feeling.

Ninebot Max G3 is IPX6 and it’s battery is IPX7 Not the highest but quite good. I also have the G30 and after a full year of daily use in all weather it has zero signs of moisture inside.

Bout 14 on Sport limited to 20mph Daily commute mostly flat with one steep climb at the end of the return trip. The hill totally stops my G30 but the G3 maintains speed all the way up and loses 3mph on the last few yards at the highest steepest part.

My Long- Range Ninebot G30 Original battery had 551Wh for 35km real world range Now it got a 1900Wh battery within the same space for 120km range. 2 hours charge time
