Fun! I use a smaller, lighter, more easily folding scooter to commute with in NYC
“As Julian said in his video that you get sent after purchasing: This is not a toy! It's a 100 pound 2 wheeled Vespa. Bicycle protective gear is inadequate over 25 miles an hour. Believe me, I found out! Eyeglasses don't keep the wind from making you squint and tear up in the cold over 30 miles an hour. You will get out on the road at speed; you will hit a patch of mud or sand on a trail; you will crash at some point. So wear motorcycle protective gear with helmet, armored jacket, gloves and kneepads. And enjoy! My only complaint is I'm still trying to find a comfortable position for the thumb throttle. Thumb muscles fatigue. Plus you can't use the lights or horn either unless you release the throttle. How about moving the lights and horn to the left side?”
“Scooter arrived with damage, a broken battery tray, bent rotors, and minus button that doesn’t work. Spent weeks trying to get help from FFR customer service. They don’t even have replacements parts available. Buy somewhere else if you can.”

“I could write a love letter to this thing. I got the regular "non-Max" Burn-E 2. If you're worried about the so-called "cheaper" battery, don't be. This thing is still a very high-quality battery. I have had many people ask about Max vs. non-Max. Here is my take:
This Burn-E 2 (Non-Max) takes larger riders (over 250lbs) well over 40mph and will haul you at least 40 miles (probably more). If you've never done more than 20mph on an eScooter, pump the brakes! Every additional 5mph in speed adds significantly more risk, thrill, and "pucker" factor. At 25mph, you won't want to fall off - trust me. At 30mph, most people are going to start to get a little worried. At 35mph, you might want to do that ONE time. Ever. At 40mph, you better be wearing full class-2 motorcycle gear, have a road you know quite well, and even then you have to acknowledge the extreme risk you are taking if something goes wrong. So, is the non-Max fast enough? Yeah. It is too fast for me. I can't imagine driving the Max around. Generally speaking, only those who know what they are doing should get the Max. The Burn-E 2 non-Max is still quite the thrill and should be considered an intermediate to expert-level scooter. The Max is pure expert-only territory.
In terms of range, the 28Ah battery with its two 1000W motors stays in a more efficient "power band" if you drive between 10-20mph (what most riders will probably do). This gives the scooter an excellent range only bested by the 40Ah Burn-E 2 Max version. You'll be able to get 3-4 hours of riding with the non-Max, which is a pretty long time to be standing up. The 1000W motors are enough to send even heavy adults flying through the air propelling up steep hills. The Max, with it's 1500W motors, would be straight overkill.
In my opinion, the Burn-E 2 non-Max version is probably the Nami most enthusiasts will want to get. Go for the Max if you want to wear full-body motorcycle protective gear while riding (full body, knees, elbows, the works!). The Max is for operating on a track or closed course, or for those responsible enough to understand that even the non-Max version would kill someone if you hit them at 40mph. At the speeds the 40Ah Max version gives you, you're taking a trip to the intensive care unit if you smash into something. It isn't a toy. It is for adrenaline junkies or very skilled riders. The non-Max will give most owners plenty of thrilling rides.”
“This scooter is just mind blowing. It has power, speed, and a single charge that basically lasts as long as your legs! I personally weigh 285 and it does not feel slow at all. It was a bit scary at first getting used to it at higher speeds (35mph+) but once I got everything dialed in with suspension and steering dampers, it was smooth riding. Oh and fair warning, the brakes are insanely strong. Be sure to wear protection and take all safety precautions. This ain't no toy.”
Hi Matthew,
We are glad to hear that you are happy with your scooter. Protection gear is always recommended, especially on the Burn-e that reaches high speeds. Don't hesitate to contact our support team if you need assistance.
“This is the best scooter, but could be better. The "cruise control" feature doesn't work on my unit, but even if it did, it just needs to be rewritten to work like a car's. This could be fixed with a firmware upgrade. The scooter has too much power, and not enough control at lower speeds. It is, hands down, the best ev I have used for cruising, but around 5 mph it is too hard to control. If the acceleration curve and control was more like the Boosted Rev, and if it were easier to get smoother operation at a lower output, it would be mwah perfect.
It also needs a rack for panniers or an attachment point for a small uniwheel trailer. This thing is meant to work, haul, be used and abused like a car. This ain't no toy, this is the first viable micromobility car replacement.
Of course there is a compromise: you cannot take this on transit, it's just too big. But, honestly, I'm finding that I can replace train rides — the range on this thing is absurd in a wonderful way. I am a big guy, probably over the weight recommendation, and I am getting 40 miles on 2/3 charge — to work and back again without carrying a charger.
Build quality is quite good, but it definitely requires better safety gear than the bicycle helmet I use.”
“Did 2 months of online research. Test rode 7 different scooters. Nami Burn E was it for me. Bought it mainly for the mileage, for the ability to adjust the speed while in cruise control, for the lighting, for the comfort, for the programmable drive modes, for the smoother acceleration, for the wide deck, and for the styling. My first escooter. Just take your time to learn it, and you should be fine. Wear your full face helmet and pads. Never know when you'll need to do emergency braking on the trail because a skunk shows up at 5am. Brakes are awesome, and made for a nice emergency stop--tires screeched, and rear lift up, but I stayed on. Stay safe.”
“This is my 5th scooter, and it makes its predecessors seem like children's toys. The tubular frame and well thought out build make for a sturdy, rock solid rig. There is more than enough power to get you up to the mid 40's and keep you there. There is more than enough battery capacity to get you where you need to go. Battery economy was a constant worry on my earlier rigs. I use mine to run around on the weekends. I could get away with just charging the Burn one time per weekend. The Logan brakes are fantastic, and the lighting is very good. As mentioned in the description, the Burn is well fitted to your taller riders. I'm 6' and 180#'s......this is the first rig that hasn't felt like it was just a little short. All of the hardware and parts are very good quality, not your generic cheapo parts you find across all brands of scooters. The complaints about the "dead space" in the throttle are somewhat exaggerated. Yes, there is a short dead space, but that's a safety feature so you don't accidentally bump it and have the rig take off without you. I don't notice it when I'm using the scooter. I only have a couple of complaints, that are more of just a matter of personal preference. 1) I've never been the biggest fan of thumb throttles, I prefer the trigger type. With some repositioning, I was able to get the throttle angled so it didn't feel awkward. 2) The "turbo" feature has to be enabled every time you turn the rig on. It's not difficult to do, but easy to forget. All things considered, this is a fantastic rig. It feels like "real transportation", not "just a scooter". It has a stiff price tag, but in the end, worth every penny.”
“The brakes grab front and back' it's quite dangerous' if anyone reads this " please call me and tell me what I can do to fix or adjust them " please "" 801-870-0657 mark williamson please! Thanks”
