The Burn E-2 Max is not cheap but, based on my experience with numerous scooters since 2016, I believe it to be "value priced" (to the extent that can be said about a 4k plus electric scooter). Most reviews, particularly the professional ones, cover everything you need to know in great detail, so I'll just supply some of my highlights and counterpoints to popular reviews I've seen: 1. The ease of suspension tuning for your weight and expected riding surface is one of the most useful features. There's a noticeable improvement in traction when the suspension is properly tuned for you and your surface. 2. I think the "dead zone" in the throttle is a safety feature, rather than a bug. This thing accelerates at an incredible pace; that time to ease into the throttle is helpful to allow you to better control the scooter through potential mishaps and the bumps and jerks you'll experience as you travel. I've personally felt that the lack of an instant reaction to any touch of the throttle has saved me from some hairy situations. 3. Most reviews point out that the screen is very close to the rear bar, but I think the concern is overblown. The screen is never in any danger of actually impacting the rear bar when the stem is folded. --- Overall, the scooter provides a comfortable ride, and the comfort of knowing that you've got the power "under the deck" to always ensure that you are in the safest possible riding position on the road. I began riding scooters as a commuter vehicle in 2016 when I purchased a Swagtron. Several upgrades and about a year later I jumped into this tier of super scooters, first with an off-brand junker from Amazon (that advertised its 40 MPH top speed and then stopped working after hitting 40 MPH one time) and next with a Dulatron II LTD. The Burn E-2 Max is by far the best, most comfortable riding, and safest scooter I've owned (and I'd say it is better than the Dualtron Ultra and Thunder that I've tried as well). One thing that immediately jumps out as a comparison to other folding stem "super scooters" is how solid the stem feels during trips. The construction quality, battery life, range, top speed, and acceleration mean that you will always be well-positioned to get where you need to go quickly and safely. Waterproofing, bright built-in lights, turn signals, and a real quality horn are nice touches that add to the quality and the overall safety of the scooter. Nothing's perfect. I think the stock tires that ship with the scooter obviously don't take into consideration the dynamic performance of the scooter, hence the near-universal community sentiment that a switch to PMT tires is a must...I'm sure consumers would chip in a bit more for these scooters to ship with the best tires for the best experience. The screen does indeed look a bit washed out in direct sunlight. I'd also prefer an indicator signal that either has an audible tone or that is more prominently displayed so that we can better know when the turn signal is on. But, all in all, it's an excellent piece of machinery. At 100+ pounds it is a beast, and you should not have any illusions about this being apartment/stairs friendly. But there are good positions for hand placement should you need to carry the scooter (briefly). There are plenty of spots to affix a lock without being concerned about bending, impacting, or otherwise damaging important components. If you live in a city, there should be plenty of bike racks both in indoor garages and outdoor garages for you to use, and you can add a cheap magnetic gps tracker like the LandAirSea54 and real peace of mind that your ride is safe. Nobody is perfect, so I'll give the Nami-Burn-E 2 Max an 8.5 out 10 to leave room for improvement, but I cannot imagine that there is a better ride out there on the market.
