The LADPED electric scooters are solid entry level options that are meant for adults. Both models are equipped with a peppy 350W brushless motor that can push the scooter at speeds of up to 19mph. The LP80 is equipped with a 36V 10.5aH battery that lasts up to 18 miles on a single charge. The LP60 has a much smaller 36V 5.2AH battery that will give you half that range. Both scooters weigh about 34 pounds (the LP60 is a bit lighter because of the smaller battery) and can be folded for easier transport and storage. They're equipped with standard 8.5" maintenance free honeycomb tires which are good for smooth, paved surfaces. Unfortunately they're not designed to be swapped out, so if you need bigger tires for harsher road conditions, you'll need to look elsewhere.
Other than that, there's not much more you could ask for from a sub-$150 scooter. More well-known scooter brands are a lot more expensive; the Segway Ninebot E2 and the Niu KQi 100P scooters both cost about $350, and they're also made in China (Segway was purchased by Ninebot in 2015, and is technically a Chinese company now). If cost was the reason that had been holding you back, than the prices on these LADPED scooters are a convincing excuse to get one now.
