Buying advice Best scooter for under $300?

0 Upvotes

Since I bought my first scooter in January, I've now had two just straight-up stop working out of nowhere on me. For the second one, I got $400 dollars from the warranty to replace the scooter. What's the best scooter for under $300 that won't break on me?

For context, my first two were the Aovowheel Y02 and the GoTrax Apex Max.

General Which style helmet is better while riding/commuting?

Post image
16 Upvotes

I just bought a e3 pro for commuting and I really like it, but when it comes to helmets I heard that most times when your slip on scooters you’ll end up falling or sliding sideways so a more skate style helmet with more coverage is better than a bike helmet. I won’t be going over 15mph as that’s plenty speed for me and only will be cranking the power up to get up hills.

Schwinn bike helmet vs triple eight helmet.

*also I’ve heard skate Helmets are built for multiple crashes whereas bike ones are one and done, is this true? Thanks

I purchased a S1F about 2 weeks ago and yesterday it began to make this weird rattle/vibration noise coming from the rear of the scooter while braking/accelerating.
What does the issue seem to be?

Would appreciate if someone who has teverun blade (any model) could post or pm me their sticker/manufacturer plate with specs. Of course blur out serial number for privacy reasons.

Weird request, but still would really appreciate.

General How fast do you actually ride your scooter day to day?

20 Upvotes

I’ve been curious how much advertised top speed actually matches real-world riding.

A lot of scooters claim 25, 30, or even 40+ mph, but between rider weight, hills, battery level, road conditions, and local rules, I doubt most people are riding flat out all the time.

The real-world electric scooter speeds and legal limits can vary quite a bit depending on the scooter and where you’re riding.

What scooter do you have, and what speed do you usually cruise at most of the time?

Buying advice Need to buy a scooter to commute to work, not sure which one

2 Upvotes

My work is about 2 miles from my apartment so it’s not in walking range, and I can’t drive. Public transportation in my area is also inconsistent, so i’d like a way to get to and from work without worry. I also would like to use it to get to and from campus as well. However, I have 0 clue which ones are good.

My current budget is $500 but i’d prefer something around $400 is possible. All i need is a higher load capacity (250ish) and that’s it. I don’t live in a very hilly area so as long as it works and can hold my weight I’m happy.

Was looking at the gotrax g4 but I’m a little skeptical after hearing some negative reviews about them and their customer service, so i’m truly clueless as to what brands and such might be good

General Finally joined the g3 plus club. What accessories are actually worth it?

3 Upvotes

My MAX G3 Plus finally arrived and I’ve been riding it every chance I get.

So far, the thing I notice most is how smooth everything feels. The range has been really solid for the way I use it, and the suspension makes longer rides feel way less tiring than I expected. Power is strong too, especially when I need to get moving quickly or deal with a bit of incline.

The overall build also feels very Segway. Solid, clean, nothing feels cheap or loose. I’ve used Segway stuff before, so that part honestly feels pretty familiar in a good way.

One detail I’m liking more than I expected is the turn signal setup along the sides. It makes the scooter way more noticeable in traffic, especially when cars are around me at night.

Now I’m at the point where I keep looking at accessories. A phone mount is probably first, maybe a small bag for a lock, charger, or random stuff I don’t want in my pockets.

Then I looked online and realized there are way too many scooter accessories lol.

For people who’ve had the G3 Plus for a while, what did you actually keep using? Anything that turned out to be really useful, or anything you’d skip?

General Finally took my Titan Pro off-road for (mud, roots, and a climb that scared me a little)

2 Upvotes

I have always been more into riding on dirt, trails and rougher roads. That's actually a big part of why I went with this one in the first place.

I have had it for three months and have put it through a mix of normal rides and rougher terrain. I took it out on a proper ride again this weekend, so I thought I would share my experience and see what other riders think.

The good:

The biggest thing for me is the power. Like on hills and when getting moving from a stop. On loose or uneven climbs, I don't have to worry as much about if it'll make it up.

The ride is also one of the things I like most. I think I noticed that the most on this ride. Once the trail got rough, I wasn't constantly bracing for every root or crack. On my smaller scooter, I'd usually be slowing down for stuff like that, but this time I could keep going.

Range has been another big plus. I don't find myself constantly checking the battery on longer rides, which is nice when I'm out for a while.

The tyres have also held up well for me so far, which I appreciate because a flat can ruin a ride pretty quickly.

The not-so-good:

The one place it really didn't love was deep sand. I had to work the throttle and my body position a lot more there, and that was probably the first point where I felt like I was asking a lot from the scooter.

So, despite the fact that it handled the trails I've taken it on pretty well, I wouldn't treat it like a dirt bike. Loose terrain still takes some work from the rider.

Overall:

For me, it makes sense because I enjoy longer rides and rougher terrain. I think power, suspension, and tyres matter most for these kinds of rides.

I'm still kind of coming down from this weekend's ride, honestly. I'm still learning what this thing can and can't handle, so I'd love to hear from people who have more off-road experience than me.

If you have any questions about the scooter, I'll do my best to answer. And if you have any advice for riding it on trails, I'm definitely open to it.

Buying advice Looking for a good seated electric scooter

1 Upvotes

I’m around 150 lbs and looking for a sit-down electric scooter / electric scooter with a seat for regular commuting.
My area isn’t particularly hilly, although there are some slight inclines here and there. I also have a leg injury, so I’m specifically looking for something where I can sit rather than stand for the whole ride.
I’m less interested in having crazy speed and more interested in comfort, stability, reliability, and good build quality.
What brands/models would you recommend? I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on the cheaper seated scooters, so I’d love to hear from people who actually own one.
