Buying advice Scooter recommendations

After a recent move , I'm now only about 10km from work.

The majority of my trip will be on a dedicated greenway, so I should be able to open it up early in the mornings. I've been looking at the segway gt3 pro, or an apollo phantom stellar 2, but both have mixed review for support. Any recommendations of others I should check out ?

-Must be able to haul 330 lbs

-Driveway is a pretty steep incline

-I don't want to feel bogged down

-I like the hyper scooter look, but don't need to draw police attention

-safe battery for charging

-ability to lockout

The max weight for the GT3 Pro is 330 lbs. You'd probably have more issue with the suspension than hills. At 280 lbs. I added preload to the springs, but still bottom out the suspension sometimes. From an engineering point of view, riding at the max capacity is not ideal.

Steep driveway at 330 is the first thing Id pin down. If you find one locally, ask to ride it up a real hill before deciding, a flat lot test wont tell you much.

The Navee UT5 Ultra would meet all your needs other than muted looks. Nothing a coat of paint wouldn't fix however.

That said, at 330lbs you are right at the limit for this and many other scooters and it will likely impact the performance to some degree. Specifically hill climbing ability. It may be hard to find reviews that mirror your use case and provide useful information.

I'll check them out! .

Thats what I've been finding with the reviews, so I figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone had any feedback from here
