In some ways, these are easier to ride than bicycles, but they can give you a false sense of security. The center of gravity on these is very low, so keeping your balance is very easy, and they have good stability at speed. I had a manual kick scooter when I was 11 years old, with smaller tires than these, and I used it all the time to get to middle school. This will also be easier than a bike to put in a car, and go for relaxing rides in a park.
However, I would still caution riders to wear a helmet, and maybe even wrist guard gloves. They feel stable, so the temptation is that you don't need safety gear, but these are gonna have an accident like a skateboard while going much much faster. I couldn't get MY kick scooter to go 22 mph!!! And you just know the kids are going to go top speed.
Also, someone made a good point that these are sized for teens and adults... these are full-sized scooters, and the handlebars are not adjustable.

As far as someone of that size riding this scooter I would think the potential of damage (breaking) is high. I'm around 140lbs and it feels stable and strong enough, but I can totally see how with all the pushing/pulling of the handlebars when starting/stopping and going up and down hills you can break the welded front joint. I'm not talking about intentional yanking but just counter balancing moves.
Now for my personal experience with the range in my relatively urban environment of sidewalks and pavement. I've ridden the scooter throughout my first week doing about 2.5-3 miles/day roughly 20-30 mins per session on the D setting, which is the 2nd of 3 gears. I've tried the other gears but mainly stayed on D. I haven't tested the actual max speed through the app but on the standard S/3rd gear it hits 15mph on the readout. On my last session I tried to drain the battery until shutoff going roughly 6 miles. I tracked rough mileage and time through a gps app I have because the Vicont app designed for the scooter is a little inconsistent in tracking (perhaps I need more time using it to figure it out.) I started to notice the red battery indicator at roughly 18 miles and continued to ride until the scooter stopped accelerating at about 20 miles. I'm sure the range is only downhill from here but it's nice to know that it's not a complete lie regarding the range for a smallish man.
If this scenario fits your needs I'd highly recommend it, hopefully everything goes fine as I continue to use it. If it breaks anytime soon, I'll come and update my post. Oh yeah and I went with the grey one instead of the green if that matters.
