"Ninebot Max G2 I would say. By far the best scooter I ever owned. The suspension is awesome."
"I would recommend either the Ninebot G30 Max or Vsett 8!"
"Another vote for the Ninebot Max G30."
"Even tho I'm a niu owner I would say Ninebot, they are upgradable as hell and there's spare parts pretty much anywhere."
"For most people, Segway Ninebot Max G2, but NIU KQI 300x also looks promising."
"I like the Ninebot Max for a general use scooter."
"My Ninebot Max G30 does 15km/hr in Eco mode."
"Ninebot Max has IPX5 rating and IPX7 rating for core components."
"Even the best consumer scooter: ninebot g2 max will eek out 23 miles at 22 mph."

Xiaomi

(12)
"Would second the Xiaomi 4 Ultra."
"Xiaomi 4 ultra if you o only need 25kph, or kukirin g2.."
"I would recommend you first borrow a scooter from someone or use ones from your city if it does have some."
"Something around the m365 pro 2, with flash firmware to unlock the 30km/h."
"Used M365 (got mine for 250) then you refurbish whatever you need to."
"A used m365 or xiaomi essential."
"Xiaomi Scooters sell for about 500 thats the best your really going to get for that price."
"M365 on Amazon $399.99 today."
"Xiaomi 4 ultra"
"Get rid of that and the Essential becomes a useful starting point for modding the hell out of it."

(10)
"Got it only a few days ago, no regrets."

"Kaabo Wolf king GT or GTR or Inmotion RS anything dual stem at those speeds I recommend single stem designs at high speeds equal speed wobbles."
"Kaabo Mantis X at 64lbs with bigger battery, adjustable suspensions, front and rear turn signals, IPX5/7 rating and etc."
"The mantis king gt is awesome but probably weighs just a smidget too much for me right now."
"Mantis king GT for performance"

"Emove roadster 84v40ah Battery 2x 80a controllers=15kw/11 inch tires"

"I would recommend the Emove Cruiser since I actually got it because of its rating of IP67."
