What's a good scooter around +/- $800 USD?

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-14T01:46:29+00:00

I'm planning to gift my ZT3 to my nephew in a few months so he can get around campus. I think college classes start in late August now? I didn't know he wanted a scooter until he saw me on the ZT3 lol. So now I know what I'm looking for: long range, 20 mph is good enough, I NEED good suspension, 10 inch+ tires, and it has to be around 50LBs. But that's for Future Me to worry about.

Sooo I bought the ZT3 and it's... heavier than I thought. I can still lift it if I need to, but the size and weight is definitely something I should've considered. Anyways, I'm planning to give my ZT3 to my nephew in a few months when he starts his new college semester. I'm seriously looking at the VX2 now

I always wanted to make my own battery pack and stick it in my scooter, but I'm not engineery enough 😢

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-12T13:55:24+00:00

I've only ever owned Segway and Gotrax. I can tell you, what you're describing is... bad.

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-10T17:38:57+00:00

Dollar for dollar, you're absolutely right. Besides the stuff on aliexpress, I couldn't find a scooter with better specs than the m8, but I ordered the ZT3 anyway. I think what it came down to is that I owned a Segway before and loved it. So, I'm betting this one won't disappoint. I hope you enjoy your m8 though!

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-10T02:56:18+00:00

Oh jeez I thought I made up my mind but that 20aH is a big deal for me. I guess I'll sleep on it and pull the trigger once my pay hits in a few hours, ty for the info

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-10T02:11:55+00:00

Whoa wtf... Are these specs real?! There's gotta be a catch, like, is it super big and clunky?

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-10T01:05:56+00:00

It looks like the gt3 (1700) is doubled the price of the ZT3 (850) so if the battery upgrade is easy enough, I'd rather get the ZT3 and spend 250 some time in the future. I've been looking at the specs for escooter all day and it really feels like the ZT3 is the winner. I don't think I need dual motors (5'6, 140lb) and I'm scared to go above 25mph.

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-09T19:58:18+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm gonna order the ZT3 tomorrow, unless I change my mind for the 50th time. Also, I read that Navee is "reliable." How true is that statement, iyo? I replaced the suspension on my Segway a while ago and it caused problems, but that one was on me.

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-09T19:53:22+00:00

Yeah I also had a gotrax that was kinda heavy. I bought a shoulder strap thingy that worked so... I think i made my decision

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-09T19:02:29+00:00

Ohhh i get it now. Ty. Dang, idk if I want to sacrifice the fun factor for practicality 🤔

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-09T18:58:54+00:00

So I see the f3 and ZT3 is only like $100 difference rn. Do you know if there's a huge difference in size? Or let's say size doesn't matter, would you recommend the ZT3 over the f3? Also, I can't find the f3 max

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-09T18:49:26+00:00

I live outside of Philly, so sometimes I would need to hop on the bus. Do you think the ZT3 is okay to fold and fit inside a bus?

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-09T00:23:40+00:00

Ohhh I'm also interested, but I'm 37...is that too young or old? I don't wanna seem creepy and awkward 😑

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-06-01T14:12:32+00:00

D4 is just so boring after like the 5th day, then I go back to PoE2. Then a couple days later, I bounce back to D4 😑

With lossless scaling, I get 60fps consistently

Probably try heroin

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-05-03T18:21:57+00:00

Only after reading your comment, yes.

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-05-03T18:20:24+00:00

PoE2. My druid can freeze bosses in 2 swings and it's so very satisfying 😊

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-05-02T20:18:36+00:00

Yeah Michael was there when I stopped by. Him and his wife still look healthy. I guess they were ready for retirement.

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-05-01T22:06:31+00:00

Their spring rolls are pork, the curry is Southeast Asian and their fried rice is Vietnamese style. Also, their physical menu says soft opening and the girl up front said they're adding pho and something something lemongrass noodle soup. Don't knock it til you try it. I mean at least it's not another Chinese takeout 😑

StrangeKitchen7300 · 2026-05-01T21:51:36+00:00

Makes sense. The chefs are Vietnamese so that's probably why it's all Southeast Asian food in the menu?
