What are you mainly using your scooter for?
commute to work, and trail exploring
“Loved the first one so much, a year later I got a second one so I can invite friends on long trail rides.
I got the long-range model and 40+ mph is fast enough for me and the hill climbing is unstoppable.
Looked and researched for a long time, and absolutely no regrets.
I'm 6'3" and 210 lbs, and this model has never left me wanting for more quickness, speed or power.
I'm glad it's not any heavier though... sometimes i am on trails with fallen trees and have to lift the scooter over to keep going.”

My main transportation.
“I bought this bad boy, the NAMI Burn E 2 as a primary mode of transportation. This is the epitome of design and engineering. I can't get it out of USB mode so no turbo. But it doesn't matter. Fast , sleek,and monster range. I love it! Thank you fluid free ride ! Shipped fast as hell and this makes me the envy of all my friends. 5 stars!!!!!”

“The Nami met all my expectations +. I detuned it with the programable computer interface. I bought it for the smooth ride and range. Crazy acceleration and 40mph top speed I don't need. Certainly thrilling though. The throttle and brakes are impressive and responsive. I'm mostly on paved surfaces but when your off road the throttle is a little touchy.”

It's my primary form of transportation. Errands, groceries, commuting, and leisure.
“Let's get this out of the way: are you considering buying the Nami BURN-E 2? If you can afford it, DO IT. But, there are some things to consider:
1. Adjust your suspension! Right out of the box, the scooter's suspension is set up as plush/squishy as possible. That might be good for lighter riders, but I think that most people should adjust their suspension to optimize ride quality. The stock suspension setup can induce speed wobble if you're not careful, but it goes away completely after adjustment. There are multiple guides on YouTube on how to do this.
2. Why in the WORLD did they decide to make it so that if the USB charging port is enabled, you can't change riding modes? It makes the USB port useless to me, as my conditions vary throughout my rides, requiring me to change riding modes.
3. Nami met its price target with this scooter by using generic battery cells. That's fine most of the time, except your top speed noticeably suffers. The scooter's claimed top speed is 45 MPH, but once the battery is around 55%, I haven't been able to go faster than 37-38MPH. That's still fast, but I got this scooter to ride in 40-45MPH traffic. It has me wondering if I can swap to the BURN-E 2 MAX battery pack at some point.
4. I haven't gotten the speedometer to say 45 MPH. The fastest I've reached is 43.2. I rarely need to go 45 MPH, but if it can't reach 45, it will struggle to keep up at 40. That's great for about 90% of where I need to go, but I was hoping I'd have the headroom to maintain the scooter's top speed more consistently.
Am I happy with my scooter? ABSOLUTELY. But, in retrospect, should I have saved and gotten the MAX? Maybe. But the MAX was out of stock, and I got the non-MAX version in about a week. I'll probably save my pennies and wait to see if a BURN-E 3 MAX gets released in a couple of years. When that time comes, I'll definitely upgrade.”
