"the base model gets 65-75 miles and the max 75-85 miles when riding at 18 mph with pmt tires and a 6’ 210lb rider"
"Riding hard you get 40-60 miles. ... Keep it under 20 mph your looking at about 80+ miles."

"No suspension is up to personal preference in my opinion; it’s going to be less maintenance and less things to go wrong, but it can be a rough ride when hitting bumps in the road."
"It has two flaws: ... no suspension. ... The only thing that does make me go "aw, crap" is cobblestones, but that happens on every scooter and bicycle I have, including the dual-suspension scooter and the mountain bike."
"No suspension tho"

"Inclines of 10-15° would result in a top speed of 14-17km/h at full battery, whereas a short incline of 20-25° reduced me to 4-7km/h. At inclines of 30° I was completely stopped even in sport mode. ... This isn't going to be what I'd consider commuter viable for anyone over 75kg - unless they live in dead flat suburbs."
"the G2 is NOT good for hills. It slows a ton."

"So, I already have a Niu KQI3 Pro, and its a nice little commuter scooter, but having the throttle wide open and maxed out, i get maybe 20 mi range at 20 mph. ... for the most part I'm happy with my kqi3, but it lacks in longevity... ... i didn't have intentions on riding longer than a few miles at a time.. but then the weather got nice and i had time off... and here we are lolol"
"one concern is the low range."

"this thing is way underpowered. ... I live in a relatively mountainous area so the entire city is hills and this just can’t climb the hills carrying me. ... I underestimated the damn hills in this town, other than that it is a great scooter ... the hills here are bad but usually only up to or around 16-17% grade. Definitely enough that I need a dual motor scooter for sure as far as I can tell. The E2 Pro feels like it’s almost enough but I just need a bit more torque cause I’m a heavier guy"

IronMew 1.0You 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.
w08crsap 1.0Well I feel disappointed that in my research I didn't think about going uphill and that's the only regret I have with my Ninebot E2 Plus2. Can't return it and get all the value because I bought it in a really nice deal and used some cash back so although unhappy about not being able to go uphill half my trip I'm happy that I saved half the cost. Fortunately for me I only need it to come back home so I'm going downhill (and maybe that's why I didn't consider the elevation factor at all) Why did I bring that whole story? Well it seems to me that many people aren't doing their research properly before purchasing their e scooters and I blame Amazon's return policy that got everyone used to just order and send back stuff at no cost for the buyer. But it seems to me that even within the same brand the scooters are so different, the reviews are complicated to understand and believe, Ive read really nice things about x scooter on Amazon and then the Best Buy reviews are really bad... Reddit says one thing is also different to those two... I feel the pain OP and many of us feel because even while doing a great research as I did the scooter I got has several Cons... But I'm happy because so far I only go down hill and people in my area are respectful of riders in general.
Bisqcateer 0.6I 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.
charros 0.6I did a tooon of research for my 10 yr old and landed on an E2 Plus ii.
I contemplated the E2 pro but opted for the plus ii for a few main reasons. Most significantly weight, tire size/type, and added suspension. I think the E2 pro would be just a bit too much for him. I also got a decent discount on the plus ii which ultimately made it a no-brainer.
GabrielNYC4 0.6I’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.

MassiveSell8979 0.6Segway Ninebot E2 Plus and Ninebot S MAX are both Segway scooters that have a top speed of 20 km/h or less.
nullmaxai 0.6the folding mechanism feels weaker than my e2 plus 2 so i ain't touching it unless necessary lol
Potential_Tour_6185 0.6you 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 $279 https://preview.redd.it/sxkj9zu69x2g1.png?width=1222&format=png&auto=webp&s=67e31cd959da93928f042cf53526e0c1aba9322c
rwy420 0.6I guess an e2 plus would fit in that price range. If you went with a cheaper one than like 300, which I wouldn’t recommend, you can expect short ranges, weak motors or generally low quality models (I’ve seen pictures of frames snapping on cheaper ones but that shouldn’t be a concern for your children as they are still pretty young but just saying) I wouldn’t recommend buying one with less than like 20/25km of range because that’s a pretty conservative estimate made at low speeds already. A motor with around 400-500W should be totally enough even with some hills. Suspension isn’t really necessary at lower speeds and would also cost more but is a little more comfortable on rough terrain for sure. Hope that helps
A ninebot E2 D or E2 Plus for suspensions and a little higher peak motor power would work for your 350$ 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.👍
