At this power level it doesn't matter much.
But at higher power levels, I hate having a motor in the front. There's so much weight transfer on a scooter because the center of gravity is very high. Which means everytime you accelerate all the weight goes towards the back tire. Which also means whenever you try to power out of a turn with a front motor, your sure to lose traction in the front and low side the scooter. It's happened to me a few times.
If I was ever going to DIY my own scooter. It would either be rwd, or the rear motor would be a lot more powerful than the front.
When it comes to scooters rwd>fwd by a large margin
Nearly everything on two wheels is rwd except escooters.
1) disk brakes v drum
2) front wheel drive v RWD
3) weight

Also, how do you guys think this Segway G30LP compare with NIU KQi3 or KQI2 pro? Bestbuy has promotion this weekend and KQI2 pro sells at $449
They also sell a 48v battery you can connect to the scooter to give it twice the power. I've seen youtube videos of the rider hitting 35+ mph with that mod installed and it is reversible and only takes up about 10 minutes to install.

This is a steal.
Unless you're commute is longer then 20 miles then yeah get the G30P if not this is just as good.
I got my kids the es3 plus and heard it's coming back on sale soon. My neighbor missed the deal for his kids and told me customer service said the $230 will be back before Xmas. Maybe this weekend?
F35 appears to be a different Costco variant but it's Costco so better and easier return policy.
