>>1873377In my case situation is quite hilarious.
I thought e-twow clone was shit, then i bought ninebot. I thought, segway and shit, should be quality... but in the end I was riding in and hit a pothole and heard that some shit broke, checked, those were screws that held deck folding thingy bit to steering tube, and i said, fuck this shit, handles like shit, suspension is shit, lets go to warrantly service and get money back. No money back, they gave me new ninebot instead. I sold it, wanted to buy a scooter, but then corona happened. Then I bought ex-rental ninebot and shit i remember why i sold it.
Sure, you can put thousands of miles, if you ride on glass-smooth asphalt with no potholes, preferably in vacuum and g<9.81 m/s^2
And since the time i got e-twow clone, and this day and age, 6 years have passed if not more, and all I can buy is ninebot es2 clone types, ninebot e-series, xiaomi m365 and clones... Nothing redeeming or good, all shit that is made to sell or to look nice, but not ride. And there is bam, flashback to past, an ugly choppy scooter. So quality that it looks like it was made to be ridden. Didn't believe chinks have made smth on their own, and I realized this is minimotors speedway 3 mini clone. And minimotors makes dualtron and such, so it should be good, right?
>>1873392Here is a thing, I've eaten shit at 30 km/h... Don't really want to do that at 60. Scooters are never meant to go this fast anyway, they are meant to cover 5-30 km/h which makes them usable on sidewalk with people to bikelane (you can shove your highway code your ass), something bicycle can't, because it is stable in rather narrow range, 15-40 km/h, maybe bit more.
On scooter you can navigate between pedestrians as if you were walking. Not quite unicycle sort of maneuverability, but at least you don't trust your life to some shitty motor controller.
but yes, they all are shit.
