Segway - Ninebot E2 Plus

You will not find good suspension at 300 dollars. Scooters are cheap, but they aren't *that* cheap, and if they are there's *always* a catch. Look up basic Ninebots (you may know them as Segway). Avoid anything with solid tires.

I bought a Segway Ninebot E2 Plus II for my girlfriend to ride with me when I Onewheel around the neighborhood and she loves it! It was only $300 so I would recommend it or other similar models if you're not looking for higher speeds or specific features and weight under 200-lbs.

What model is your scooter? I just got the Segway ninebot E2 plus II. Just wondering if I seal it to ride in the rain.

I’ve only owned a few Segway scooters but the cheapest one I got was the e2 plus about a year ago and it was $279, at the time. I ride it through thunder storms, puddles and snow, it has been pretty reliable.

Feel the same way about my E2 plus2

I got the ninebot(segway) e2 plus ii. I use it to bypass the employee shuttle where I work(around a mile) It works for me, although I do wish it was a little faster, but it does not need to be. I am at the limit for weight on it though. 200lbs.

the folding mechanism feels weaker than my e2 plus 2 so i ain't touching it unless necessary lol​

you really cant buy a decent adult scooter for $200 , those are all childrens scooters , dont even bother with one of those , it's a waste of money the SEGWAY E2 PLUS is the lowest I would go for a low priced adult scooter on sale for $279 https://preview.redd.it/sxkj9zu69x2g1.png?width=1222&format=png&auto=webp&s=67e31cd959da93928f042cf53526e0c1aba9322c

Niu and Segway are also very good but might be in a different pricing class. I don't know much about the price range you're looking for unfortunately.  I did however do food deliveries and on many days I did 20 miles or more (low estimate, probably more) I don't think an electric scooter in that price class will have enough range to do deliveries in one go... With an electric bicycle some of the effort is done by me and if the battery goes dead it's still plenty functional, thus I picked that over an electric scooter. Not cheap either though. If in Vegas everyone lives / stays pretty close to eachother Xiaomi might have some good ones, but don't expect to go half days on it. E.g.  Segway Ninebot E2 Plus II or Niu K100P (already above budget and for deliveries they have questionable range)

I guess an e2 plus would fit in that price range. If you went with a cheaper one than like 300, which I wouldn’t recommend, you can expect short ranges, weak motors or generally low quality models (I’ve seen pictures of frames snapping on cheaper ones but that shouldn’t be a concern for your children as they are still pretty young but just saying) I wouldn’t recommend buying one with less than like 20/25km of range because that’s a pretty conservative estimate made at low speeds already. A motor with around 400-500W should be totally enough even with some hills. Suspension isn’t really necessary at lower speeds and would also cost more but is a little more comfortable on rough terrain for sure. Hope that helps

A ninebot E2 D or E2 Plus for suspensions and a little higher peak motor power would work for your 350$ budget although the range is like <20km at alright conditions. An E3 model like the Pro version is good as well and comes with a way better range and better motor, is also fairly new but it costs more like 450-500$. Xiaomi scooters are good as well and you could get like a generation 4 for up to 30 km of realistic range starting at like 400$. A used ninebot G30 from eg Facebook marketplace could be worth it if you find a good offer but please make sure that you’re actually buying something that’s still working properly (don’t consider it if the seller’s talking about some “Motor / Battery needs replacement” because there’s usually more wrong with it than just that) I hope I could help you and just hit me up if you got more questions.👍

If you're planning on keeping the scooters as they age, I think the Segway E2 plus is the better buy. Note: They will eventually get bored of the top speed in their teens.
