I have a couple of the Razor scooters, the E200 and E300. They come with lead acid batteries, which are pretty useless as the main source of power, and they’re rather small...toys, really. The 200 is fine for my kid, and the 300 is ok for an adult, now that I put a lithium battery...but I wouldn’t want to commute more than a few miles on one.

The brand of decent ones that people like to use and mod isn’t listed there...can’t remember the name of it...something or other 365? Vortecks on YouTube has one he’s messed around with.

For 20 miles, I’d suggest something bigger that you can sit down on. “Moped” style. Pedals are useless, but much easier on the body for a half hour trip each way. Full suspension. Can carry enough lead that it isn’t a deal breaker to use such batteries. Cheap, if you buy used and put new batteries in.
