Also ride the Niu kqi3 pro, but at around 7,000km, its battery degradation is making me use it less now. City pro’s 21700 cells seem pretty resilient to degradation. Also my Nami Klima Max (odo: 1000km) requires more maintenance than City Pro by quite a margin.
PLEASE dont buy a cheap chinese ass scooter, buy a used dualtron thunder one or eagle pro or smth, or a lower end kaabo scooter or a nami klima or smth, buy one of those for like 700-1000$, then spend 100 on a good lock and 150 or so on a good helmet, they will all get great range
Brand in general, I’d go with Segway and Nami. With Segway being the de facto champ, but I like Nami because of how easily I can order parts from either Ali express, or Facebook. Tech wise Segway got it. I’d give like 4 scooters a 10/10; Nami Klima (burn e is awesome but I think the Klima encompasses what I think the ideal fast scooter should be, without being as enormous as its big brother) Segway GT3 pro. I mean other than maybe a bigger battery, that scooter has all the bells and whistles for the average person Teverun Fighter supreme ultra (not the 7260r). Fat ass battery in a 11 inch scooter. Doesn’t get better than that. I’m sure if this model has it, but some have their own security system built in (key fob alarm) not sure if the wheels lock up like with the GT3 pro. Segway max G2 (maybe the G3 but time will tell) that scooter is a tank, nuff said. At the end of the day, the more mechanically inclined you are, the less stuff like ratings matter. As long as it has parts available, and a relatively easy to work with system, you’ll be golden.
Perfect Scooter does exist and it’s called the Nami Klima ! A Nami Stellar or Super Stellar sounds though like it is more up your alley as far as weight size etc! My spouse has the Super Stellar and it rides like an absolute dream! I have a Klima, but would love a Burn E 3. It’s like gliding on a cloud, you can literally ride it with similar physics and mechanics of skiing or snowboarding. Incredible piece of engineering! If you want speed and agility that’s super light I’d give the Apollo Go a Go! Probably the closest you will get!
Came here to say this! Yeah the Nami Stellar or Super Stellar are great options! My spouse rides along with me on my Klima and it keeps up just fine with it! It’s quick comfortable and noticeably more compact compared to the Klima!
Dude, you are not going to find quality anything for under $400. If that's too much of a stretch all at once, consider buying one through affirm and paying it off over time. If it's your daily commute, you want a reliable ride and there's no difference in paying over a year or two for one of these vs paying off a car over in four to six. It's how I own a Nami Klima. I didn't have $2500 on hand, like... who actually does when they go buy something like this? :P
