Burn-E2 base model or max.
I have the base model. The suspension is about as good as you can get. Can ride in all weather conditions without modification. I have over 5600 miles on mine without having anything break. Can dual charge, so I can charge 50% in 90 min.
It's been a wonderful machine to ride

The Burn-E2 served me well in all conditions, even downpours.
IIRC the initial name was "Viper", but there was a copyright dispute that caused the company to go with Burn-E. You can see a remnant of that initial name on the front suspension upper arm.
They also decided to use 2 lightning bolt logos side by side as if they were the fangs of a viper.
It's a questionable decision from my perspective...

No modifications. I rode in PNW rain for years without issue.
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.
You have like 4-5 modes you can customize each, there's a good little bit of clicking buttons but it's not rocket science just takes a good min. I will say one downside I'm facing is not all parts are easily obtainable but otherwise scooter has been great!
I’ve bought both, I’m now on my second quality scooter KAABO Wolfking gtr max…..other was NAMI burn e 2. The difference is staggering to say the least, and it shows more the longer you have/ride them…..the cheap ones start having issues fast……squeaks/rattles glitches wobbles etc….the quality ones are smoother refined, no rattles loose bolts electric glitches etc….
If you are just using it for random night rides and not putting a lot of miles on it than ok…..avoid bumpy off road terrain, water/rain etc. best advice I can give.
Upgrading to a $2500 budget allows you to move into the hyper-scooter category, which is essential for a reliable car replacement on busy LA roads. The segway GT series is your strongest option for a daily commute because its automotive-grade suspension offers the stability and build quality you’ll need at high speeds. Since you aren’t yet an experienced mechanic, I’d suggest avoiding the geofought or used market to ensure you don't get stuck with difficult repairs or unreliable battery systems.I can relate to your concerns about build quality because I ride a tarran t1 pro, which is essentially the smart car of e-bikes with landing gear and AI safety features. Once you’re used to that level of premium engineering and tank-like stability, you’ll find that only high-end scooters like the segway or nami Burn-E 2 provide a comparable sense of security.
