This is rated as the best all-around "standard speed 15MPH scooter" for under $500 for 2020. I researched every scooter available and watched almost every YouTube review for sub $500 scooters (I watched hundreds of videos!) and this was the model that was most consistently recommended as being the best value for the money which is why I bought it November 2020 and have used it almost every day since then. It has the battery in the base instead of the stem for better weight distribution, the high battery capacity give this scooter equal range to many $500-$800 models, it has features like cruise control that most cheaper scooters don't have, it has a digital readout showing your speed in 1/10th MPH increments, 4 bar battery meter, has a bright white headlight and red taillight for night riding which also blinks when braking, tires come pre-filled with Slime from the factory for good flat prevention since scooter tires/tubes are a huge pain to change, and has rear disc brake but it is pretty weak and needs a little adjustment ouf of the box to work well. The next step up would be about $800 for scooters that go 18MPH with only slightly better range but are usually a bit heavier, then $1200-$1400 for the scooters that go about 28MPH with nice wide tires and full suspension...and of course you can't forget the Rion Thrust for $8500 that goes 80MPH lol!

It's indiegogo so recommend it for a proven product that's much cheaper.
NIU is actually a really big company in EU

I have zero worry with this indiegogo project. In fact I think they already shipped many units of this scooter.

I just don't know if it's worth the extra $200 over this GOTRAX

Great deal for a solid scooter. Though if this is your first one and if you end up really liking it, you'll likely regret not getting something more premium for more speed and distance.
So it would be my first buy and I suspect I will enjoy it. What would you recommend instead within a 500-600?

Only if you're looking for more range. This scooter is rated for 18.6 Miles but you'll probably get half of that depending on the temperature and terrain.

FYI, this won't work for you if you weigh 500lbs. Even with a full charge. I had to return mine.

I am close to 200 lbs. I have the ES4, which I think is 500W, works really well for me. I also have a Xiaomi with only 250W - any slope it will crawl to a stop.

If you wait more than 130-140 lbs, you may want to get something more powerful.

I'm not sure I would go with Niu. The sport model is heavier at 40lbs compare to 32lbs for the GOTrax XR Elite but it got a 300w motor like the Elite. It's got a longer range I'll give it that.
The Niu Pro model has the 350w motor but if you compare it to the HIBoy S2 Pro for the price $539 but that one has a 500w motor.
Both of the GoTrax XR Elite and HiBoy S2 Pro are proven units with lots of reviews.

Yea ideally I would like more range. I imagine this will give maybe 9-12 miles. I see the Niu is competitively priced for now relative to this and has a claimed 31, which I imagine will be closer to 15-18 realistically? Would you take the risk on such a company?

ES4 is 300w nominal, 800w peak.

F it, in for one. I rarely have more than a mile to travel, let's see how it holds up on pothole infested but mostly flat land
