Trying to decide on what to buy either a
Arwibon gt08 5600w dual motor 60v27ah
Or
DriveTron D10 3300w dual motor 52v20.8ah
Or even a dirt bike 48v 21ah 2000w motor

Maybe, first and foremost, look into scooters that don't go 50 mph? That speed is absolutely insane on a vehicle like that. Not only for your own safety, but for everyone else's, too.

It's not all that bad.

until it isnt...
skima_0@reddit
not really. you can take bumps at speed just fine. you just have to make sure you don't hit anything over 3-4" tall
unseenmover@reddit
Thats only head on and with a 4" piece of debris or furniture being almost half the diameter of the wheel. Nay..
skima_0@reddit
Sticks are alright at higher speed, but furniture? Bikes won't get over that either.

What do you think?
skima_0@reddit
I prefer bikes though. Scooters always feel unstable.
Haunting-Morning3734@reddit (OP)
Don't really intend on using at that speed that much just nice to know I can
Stokkeren@reddit
I dont know where you live, but is that type of fast scooter even legal there?
Where I live, it's illegal, and police can confiscate it permanently, even if you didn't go fast on it. It's sour money to lose on a new purchase.
Haunting-Morning3734@reddit (OP)
True but if it proves to be problem I may just us it for off-road usage but I still wanna which is better
Charlie_ND@reddit
Depends on your day-to-day needs. Are you just commuting or do you want something to go off the beaten path with?
Haunting-Morning3734@reddit (OP)
Mostly commuting but I would like to go up some mountains this summer
Nibb31@reddit
Commuting on roads or bike paths or dirt tracks?
For commuting, you want something reliable and comfortable, like a proper ebike, not one of those death traps.

I've had a regular ebike before a fat tire aswell and road a e dirt bike and escooter I currently don't want/can't find a regular styled ebike with the specs I want for under 700 or even slightly near that
Nibb31@reddit
You're not getting anything remotely decent for under $700, so the question is moot.
Haunting-Morning3734@reddit (OP)
It is with discount and credit that made it that much but I'm aware in still taking a gamble

I'm more fond of the dirt bike. Scooters always seemed less stable to me. Maybe I'm just not a proficient rider on scooters though.
