I would recommend the Burn E, but feature wise it’s pretty vanilla (I like that). If you like apps and security, Segway GT3 (or pro) and Teverun fighter supreme ultra, and it’s 7260r version (might be overkill) are my go recommendations. I think 30ah would be minimum for your range needs. Of course depends if you’re ripping it or not, but you’ll definitely get 20 HARD miles. I would recommend getting a 40ah battery to not worry about range for those long trips. So that leaves the burn e max, supreme ultra, and the 7260r. Honorable mention to the Kaboo wolf king GTR

Well put it this way, besides the probably big weight and size difference, you can always power down the RS, can’t power up the phantom. I use my big ass Burn E as my everyday scooter. I tried using the Vsett I bought for my gf, but yeah the power isn’t there, plus she has the acceleration turned down a bit. Like 3/5. So I don’t feel comfortable getting a good lead in front of traffic. Of course when it’s gets up to speed it’s not issue. No customizable modes so I’d have to go in the p setting every time to change it. Sure, it’s easier to whip around… but that’s about it. I will lug my scooter everywhere because I can switch from granny mode to balls to the wall in two button presses, with my regular riding mode dead smack in the middle. 52v vs 72v is no joke. I’d go with the RS and call it a day. With all of that said, unless you’re dealing with stairs, the widest part on scooters is the handlebars, you can always put it on the lowest mode if you need to walk with it. Also: being able to adjust the ride height on the RS makes a huge difference. With the stem *and* the deck. Also also: had no idea the 52v phantom is just as heavy as my 72v burn e (102lbs), just about the same top speed as well. So weight is out the window

I think you might like the 7260r if you like speed. I feel like its better than the Burn-E2 in many ways. It's larger, 60Ah battery, 15kW, and has 13" tires. It's been a blast. https://preview.redd.it/l8hw099ym7uf1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac7e05ec81ed2002ea9d8627a377a4c659fae100

Might as well just get a 7260r if you can do $4K for the 13" tires and more powerful controllers. But you can get its little brother for less than $3K, which will suit most needs.

If you want a tank, get a Nami.  If you want a tank with plastic cladding & a bunch of digital features, get a higher-end Segway.  Both make solid scooters.

In my experience Segway and Nami scooters handle rain without an issue.

Yeah the half rule is pretty much gospel at this point. Marketing teams just test under perfect lab conditions with a 120lb rider going 15mph on perfectly flat ground lol I learned this the hard way too - now I just automatically cut whatever they claim in half and that's usually pretty close to real world performance. Your 185lbs is totally normal weight, these companies are just being super optimistic with their numbers That Burn E with the massive battery sounds sick though, definitely paying for those extra watt hours but sounds worth it for actual long range

Be very careful of the stem snapping if you're on a gen 1 Burn-E https://i.imgur.com/tJXfJjv.jpeg
