My scooter saved me so much money. I’m in NYC. Subway will cost you $1500 a year. 7800 miles so far on my Segway P100S
Not only saved me money & time. Also the headaches with the trains & having to deal with crazy people. Commuting Door to Door with the scooter is just amazing.
That thing not doing very well on real roads. Segway P100s has a single motor does absolutely nothing on a wet uphill. And don’t even get me started on parts. Mine started rattling itself apart and Segway’s response was basically “no stock.” half of the time support acts like you’re the first person to ever ride it outside of a YouTube review. So idk what you’re talking about with “VERY capable single motor” in that model. On paper, sure. In real life, on a wet hill with a human on it??
Emove cruiser but that thing other than the battery life was an absolute piece of garbage scooter, so I would recommend the newer updated emove cruiser v2 if you plan on that, otherwise maybe go for a p100s
There's a hill by my house that would slow down a Segway g30lp to 9mph with me on it. When I got a Segway P100S (single motor), it wouldn't even slow down at all on that hill. The p100s is the worst scooter I've ever owned, but it was fast until it fell apart in 400 miles. My point is, there are very capable single motor scooters. Try not to get obsessed with specs on paper, they can be misleading.
P100S if you could find it used is a great option!!
Their support may be very frustrating to deal with cause they’re from china. I had to send my scooter out twice cause they didn’t fix the stem issue the first time smh. But they got all the repairs done and I had to pay nothing out of pocket except packing tape.
As I understand the huge majority of recognition/recommendation of Xiaomi originates to this day from the M365 platform. Which unlike the late model Brightway (?) ones is not affected by that just because of timeframe for one thing, is a Seg/bot OEM product for another; and another notable maybe relevant thing is that the exit of the vendor Xiaomi itself from the US market *certainly* hasn't made the generalized xiaomioid/M365 derivative scooter any less of a presence in the US. As to Hiboy, I think I know what the deal is. Their xiaomioid frame is well known dangerous garbage, but they sell a lot of other stuff. They have clonebots that are not unfit for purpose and don't have a blemished record on here. Intermediate tire size scooters, ebikes, etc. The thing that seems the most off to me is that the Seg/bot G2 somehow got ahead of the G30. This was data from a limited timespan while the G2 *was* for sure the newer thing being hyped and the G30 wasn't, but I still question it. I don't think anyone would disagree that the G30 has a nearly sterling reputation. The G65/2 is ...A bit checkered to say the least like any of the Late Segway stuff. I do have to wonder how much real botting, astroturfing, freebies to say positive things online, or just regular zealous fanboyism, etc. there actually is behind the occasional allegation of "Segway shills/fanboys" existing. I don't think it's zero. I have been fouled or votespammed multiple times for pointing out G2 issues, or at one point P100S issues before popular opinion went formally south on those, that were/are just *facts*.
