Hard rim tires produce a hard ride and most don't have the stopping power (disc brakes) to stop the scooter. The battery is also very important. Most cheap electric scooters have lead-acid or nickle-metal hybrid (NiMH) batteries. These are first generation batteries and they tend to loss charge over time. If constant using the scooter, replacement of the battery will most likely be necessary after the 2nd or 3rd year of operation. A better battery for a electric powered scooter would be the lithium ion battery. These batteries hold there charge a lot longer and over the lifetime of operation you would probably never have to replace the battery. The only catch is that you would have to pay a premium to have this type of battery in your scooter.
