(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best sport scooterss

I wasn't familiar with this model. The specs in this listing seem wrong. 600w won't do 35mph.

• EXTREMELY FAST AND LONG & RANGE BATTERY LIFE - A 600W motor propels the e-scooter to a max speed of 35 MPH; High capacity 52V 30.5Ah 1586Wh battery with a maximum driving range of up to 70 miles
  
• DUAL AIR SPRING SUSPENSIONS - The newly introduced rear air suspension allows you to adjust the strength of the suspension by simply changing the position of the two step tension control; You get a more comfortable and stable ride with dual suspension
  
• 10-INCH WIDE TUBE TIRE & EASY WHEEL SYSTEM - It comes with 70mm wide tube tires that provide unrivaled riding comfort, excellent grip and convenient maintenance; Upgraded easy wheel repair system to much easier to separate and recombine during tire puncture for user self maintenance

After doing some research on the ones that /u/jaguar007st noted, I ruled out the FS06X (tiny, solid wheels) and almost went with the Macwheel MX-1. There's more reviews of that one floating around. it seems to use the same exact chassis and frame of the m365 but with a 350w motor, foam-filled tires (the m365 is a PAIN to change tubes on apparently) and a better folding mechanism. And at $379 it seems like quite the bargain.


In the end, I went ahead and ordered the Levy. The $500 gift card was free--I was compensated for getting bumped off an overbooked delta flight and rebooked to one that was a few hours later) so I'm feeling a little bit more like I don't have a lot to lose. When comparing the Levy to the MX-1, I went with the one that has swappable batteries. There will probably always be a better one that I could have picked, but this will be a good starter scooter for me, I think. If I use it enough, maybe I'll pop for a better one come tax refund time next year.

With your son riding a bike, your office + shuttle having space for bikes and the parks not having flat surfaces, have you considered going with a bike?

----

Right now, it sounds like a kick bike for you. There's a distributor in San Diego if interested.

---------

And I think you're right, hurric9. I couldn't find the Micro Downtown on the US website. Well, at least at the date of this posting, the Micro Downtown has gone poof!

-----------------

If considering a polyurethane wheeled kick scooter, this looks like a candidate with wide handlebars, like the Downtown. It looks like a good price, once they come into stock.

---------------

If considering the A5 DLX, Also consider the A6. It's got a nice low deck height, like the A5 DLX.

-----------------

As far as your parks and sidewalks not having perfect/flat surfaces, if they are mere cracks and get bumpy, a simple quick lift of the front end or just walking your scooter through the rough area will do.

You might want to take a look at the HiBoy Max and also the HiBoy s2. They're kind of like a reimagined Xiaomi m365 and Ninebot es2. The S2 is like the m365 (but with a better display, better tires, suspension, and a 350w motor). The Max is like the Ninebot es2 (great folding mechanism, better tires, suspension, 350w motor etc.).

It's still a fairly new brand with only a few reviews, but it seems to be making lots of people happy.

P.S.

S2 has regenerative braking, the Max does not.

Try something like this. Might be a bit more than you were hoping for, but I expect he'd love this, and have fun with it for years.

I ended up getting the Hudora 230 which I like a lot. It folds up pretty well, and super sturdy:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IMNPOJS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I do ride it in the bike lane, and I'm pretty much riding the same speed as average paced bicycles.

You're going to get the better range of scooters for around $200, but the Pheonix pilot, which is temporarily out of stock at the Vault will fit your needs.

If you can spare another $50, you should get the AO Quadrum 2, probably the best street complete for its price range. It is a little bit taller and is sold from the vault.

I agree with going with an Aztek complete. Aztek's known for their longer and slightly wider decks. I'm considering getting a raw aluminum Aztek Siren V2 deck myself to do a custom build.

​

Now for the ones that fold, I've seen them sold (sneaked in, actually) at a few of the pro scooter shops online. For a commuter/folder, I like the Globber Adult One Second Folding Adjustable Height Scooter with 230mm Wheels. It's got one of the longest decks for a folder. The deck's width is a nice comfortable 6" - desirable for a commuter. The Globber is quite quirky - I'd dump the handbrake (they lockup the wheels) and the bell attached to the handlebar. Also, the removable handlebar ends will need some modification - they make metal on metal noise/rattling. If buying, make sure you keep it all together before the end of 30 days, just in case you want to return it. They currently don't sell spare parts (except for the wheels) in the U.S. - I adopted this one for doing office and shopping commutes - I ended up buying another Globber 230mm for spare parts. Selling point: The handlebar adjusts all the way to a 46" height. https://www.amazon.com/Globber-Folding-Adjustable-Scooter-Titanium/dp/B074FFJMLM?th=1

​

If you don't care about the fold, by all means, do the Aztek.

I just picked up this one and I'm really happy with it. I'm way over the weight limit but it still performs great!! Put about 3.5 miles on it today and it was at just under half battery when I got done.

This is the scooter:

This is the kit I bought about a year ago for for a bike: https://www.bikeberry.com/gas-engine-kits/4-stroke-bike-engine/flying-horse-38cc-lock-n-load-friction-drive-bicycle-engine-kit-4-stroke.html

I didn't spend anything beyond those two items. All I had to do was shorten the mounting hardware a bit and drill one hole through the deck of the scooter. It's a little janky, but I think it's hilarious and more fun than the bike was.

honestly, you'd be better off with a fusion or something. Also consider Ultra pros, everyone starts on one. its ultimately what you are comfortable with.
here are some links:

Hey man use to be a scooter myself and this is what you can get for around that price. http://www.amazon.com/Fuzion-F0417-PRO-X-3-Platinum/dp/B00FQT5D7A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416454054&sr=8-1&keywords=trick+scooter . Now if you want something a little better you can up fyour pice to around $200 and get something like this for them. http://www.amazon.com/Grit-Fluxx-Pro-Scooter-Blue/dp/B00MKUBL4C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1416454054&sr=8-4&keywords=trick+scooter . Now you can keep uping the price and get better and so on. Hope this works and if your not happy with those options then just google trick scooters and you should find plenty of options.

They seem to sell it in amazon https://www.amazon.ca/Razor-13111260-Electric-Scooter-Red/dp/B000BYCC0G/

Looks like it

Edit:

That’s the kids version, here it is

Pretty expensive for its range

I'm also looking for one, Cheapest halfway decent one that doesn't require a license is this one:

I'm currently saving up for it.
Good luck!

Nice. Thanks for the reply. I might go with that one. Have you heard of tackedoo? https://www.amazon.com/Tackedoo-Complete-Freestyle-Stunt-Scooter/dp/B013TGT2ZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469589085&sr=8-1&keywords=tackedoo

You're welcome.

A couple of small questions:

Helmet speakers? Are they legal?

And, those tiny little electric scooters (like this ) Are they legal to ride on roads? Pavements?

Many of scooters sold on alibaba exactly the same design as xiaomis scooters. They are other Chinese manufacturers ripping off xiaomi. At least that what I understand. Here's an example of someone slapping there own brand on alibaba scooters. Exact same design as xiaomis scooters. https://www.amazon.com/Macwheel-Long-Range-Non-Pneumatic-Commuting-Motorized/dp/B07MWBD9BV/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=1GFTBCK7SR5Q1&keywords=electric+scooter&qid=1554858679&s=gateway&sprefix=Electric+s&sr=8-6

You can get the non XL version for $300 but it's a lot smaller.
