I say first buying a xiaomi, learing with smaller speed and the basics, balance foot position and everything, i recommend the xiaomi mi scooter elite or mi scooter 5 pro (5 pro for front and back suspension), you could also get the 5 max, best of the best from xiaomi, but it isn't needed for beginners
Interesting how you dont even mention xiaomi. I got my 5 pro a few days ago and its all you could ask for at this price.

Thank you for your reply i have mixed feelings about xiaomi. I would say that Xiaomi 4, seconds generation was the best scooter I had for rent, best value. Xiaomi 5Pro from last year was not worth the money. Sandard problem with folding mechanism and also front suspensions. I will check the models you mentioned but the problem usually is spare parts if the models/brands are not know. I should mention that I'm located in Europe.
You have some brutal boyueda scooters, with 60v and 38ah, they are outrageous, they are not more than $1300 on Alixpress If you are looking for something not so big you have the teverun and the iscooter (teverun better brand) You can also see what Xiaomi offers if you are not interested in something so powerful or so heavy, the 5 pro Max or the Max are great, what you save in money you can add accessories or an external battery
On the xiaomi 5 max / 5 pro you will drive 25-30 km on S.
For that hill grade with your weight, you might struggle bit with Xiaomi 5 - I had guests at my place who tried similar setup and motor was working pretty hard 😅. Maybe look into something with little more torque like Ninebot Max, even if it's slightly over budget it's worth the extra power for daily commuting.
reliability, portability, payload and range. 20Kg is a good number for max and min weight. 60Km advertised means a 15 km real world (range listed / 4 - basically 30Km round trip). 100Kg is good for max payload. thats you + a bag. suspension is necessary for light gravel and for not getting thrown off when hitting a pothole. the motor power is a wash, some advertised peak, some continuous. so a 350W could be a 700W and a 500W could be a 250W. depending on the brand. so basically ignore it. i would get a xiaomi 5. not a 6. because its the perfect balance of all the factors.
try the xiaomi 5. i like mine and it will easily do 16 miles.
Can't help you about reviews, but I *can* tell you - from the tech specs and from user reports here - that E-series Ninebots below the E3 Pro aren't actually very good. They have weak powertrains and tiny ranges and they'll choke on any uphill; personally I'd avoid them all. The E3 Pro specifically is the only one with a half-decent powertrain; I'd imagine that's why people have more things to say about it. I *would* choose a Xiaomi 5 before any E-series, but I'd choose a Ninebot F3, cheaper F2, or even the older G30 before the Xiaomi 5.
