But for $200 more you won't regret this one.
I'm personally waiting for prime days to see if there's any scooter deals.

For 200 bucks it is good way to try your hands on a electric scooter... This is good for flat road neighborhoods or beach areas.
Will easily get a out $100 back by selling it on Facebook marketplace in couple of months.

Pros: Range and max speed are accurate (but I'm nowhere near the max weight so YMMV, literally). Max speed going uphill was 11 mph, not too bad given the motor. I like the 3 different modes to cap your max speed depending on the situation, including slowing you down when you're going downhill. Lightweight compared to the alpha for better portability. LCD display is a plus.
Cons: Abrupt brakes makes it feel dangerous on a road with pedestrians or traffic; either hit them, get hit, or go flying. Narrow 8.5" tires mean feeling every little bump (which I didn't think would be that different from the 10" tires on the alpha, but I was wrong). Smaller issue is the non-slip sticker on the base was peeling straight out of the box and doesn't seem like it would stay on for long, especially if storing outside.
Overall, I think it's a decent scooter and price if you just want to try out an electric scooter or will only use it occasionally. But since I want a daily commuter on a street with some traffic, I'm going to spend a little more for bigger tires and a disc brake.
