I use this one. Very stable, works great. Hundreds of miles with it, 10/10 would buy again.
First scooter purchase. Worth the wait so far. Was able to go up a few modest hills at full speed. Although no suspension, handled the rough roads well. 185 lbs, was able to reach 18mph on dash during flats. One of the electric speed signs along the road had 20.

The only thing I would change are the grips. Sort of wish they used regular bicycle grips so I could easily add https://www.amazon.com/Hafny-Mirror-Stainless-Rearview-Diameter/dp/B01AVHQB22/
I use these (or ones like them), under my hand or grip, so they don't seem to catch stuff. I'm not sure I could work with the wrist mounted ones, I change my hand position quite a bit and it wouldn't work for me.
+1 to the mirror thing. A decent mirror brought my confidence about riding with traffic up ten-fold. I'm using this one and loving it.
Sorry to hear that. One technique for building up your confidence again is to map out in advance a longer ride that minimizes your interaction with traffic, and which keeps you on roads with wide shoulders and/or sidewalks so that you can disengage from the cars at any time. I carefully mapped out, using Google Maps, three different >10mi circuits starting from my house in which I almost never interact with cars. Then I made a route of that on Strava, so I don't have to think about the route. The only time I really see a car is to cross a street where either I have a pedestrian walk or I have good visibility both ways. If I'm feeling nervous about cars, or if it's poor weather, I use those routes so I can avoid thinking about it.
Another option I like are mirrors. For most of my street riding, I put these on both ends of my handlebar. It's really not that obtrusive to the bike appearance, it doesn't get in the way of your hands, and any stuck-up riders who'd mock me can go to hell: my vanity comes in a distant second place to the comfort of knowing what is behind me.
I bought this mirror and really like it. Very low profile and good field of view. Just had to cut a little piece out of the end of my grip to put it on
Thanks. The mirrors are Hafney. Got them off amazon. 62 diameter
