I've recently bought xiomi scooter [1] from aliexpress for around $500 (incl shipping) after an extensive research on what's available on the market. For some reason they don't sell them in US and the cheapest comparable scooter in US is sold for $900+, but it's still head and shoulders above the competition, it has ABS on the front break! Also disk breaks on rear wheel! On a scooter. It also has a smartphone app which really well designed that shows you range, speed and other useful info. And it's built like a tank and not heavy at all. I am now using it for 90% of my commute. It can go up to 30 km in range and at a decent speed. I am so tired of searching for a parking spot for my car everywhere I go, so this scooter is a perfect solution for me.
