Can you recommend a scooter? I'm 6'6" and 260lbs, so I'd want a quality one.

You 100% want something with dual motors.

Look at the full lineup offered by Dualtron, if you'd like top of the line.

I chose the Dualtron Spider, as it was made to be only 44lb while able to go 38mph, do wheelies, has full suspension for the skate park and so on.

If you are willing to deal with more weight, there are other Dualtron options that are probably built a bit better (44lb was a hard limit for legality in Singapore), but the spider is still an amazing machine.

Browsing the electric scooters subreddit is also useful. They link out to this sheet:

Edit: you are actually too heavy for a Dualtron spider, which is specced for 220lb.

Check out ewheels.com. There are lots of interesting options available.
I bought from ehweels and Jason is awesome. They honored the 1 year warranty on my Dualtron Spider.
