Help with first EUC

The video is how most of our sidewalks look like. Bumpy and broken.

Im 5'6" or 176cm, 120 lbs or 54kg I need a knobby wheel with Suspension for Off-road and street cruising. That can endure Snow/rain (i wont over-do it)

I heard not so great things with InMotion so im not interested. I need an EUC that has low maintenance bc im not familiar with mechanics. I would prefer not to get a second one bc i "grew out" of the first one. I dont need to go 50mph. I care more about going to A to B without it losing charge, breaking down or struggling to go up hills. I dont care about the learning curve, i will learn either way.

I live in upstate, NY in a very rural area. Theres barely any sidewalks here. Very hilly. I would prefer an EUC around 50lbs max.

Im planning on getting one next year so im saving up, getting protective gear and getting in shape before getting my EUC.

KingSong S22 Pro $2,600 Begode Extreme $2,400 KingSong S18- $1,700

These are what i narrowed it down to while researching for a while. Any suggestions on which to choose? Thanks in advance.

Leaperkim and the nosfet aero are the least maintenance wheels. The aero is 55lbs, but sacrifices range and top speed for staying lightweight. I get about 30 miles range on mine cruising about 20-25mph. I weigh 65kg. Its a great small wheel, but will feel limited on bigger roads

A patton s would be a good buy if you want to keep things compact and want to buy once in terms of power. Has a top speed of 45mph and you can probably get 40 miles of range cruising at a decent speed. Good fork suspension with low maintenance

A Patton S is one of those general, do-it-all, “if I could only have one wheel for all occasions” wheels. High quality, built like a tank, nimble, yet stable at speed. Not generally a beginner wheel, but with a strategy of learning on an end game wheel, the Patton S is a solid choice.
