Nami Electric - Klima (Base Model)

I'd hate to be a buzzkill, but avoid all of the e-scooters you've mentioned except the Segway G2 Max. Although it’s by far the slowest, it's one of the safest options for a first-time rider. If you don’t mind spending a bit more money and have a sensible amount of restraint, I'd recommend the Punk Rider Pro on one of the slower modes. Everything else is a no-go, as these remaining scooters are better suited for riders who have real-life riding experience. In my opinion, avoid purchasing anything too powerful until you've gathered at least 500 miles of solid learning. This includes learning how to brake, lean, and knowing your local laws—essentially, everything required for safe riding. Before stepping into the realm of high-powered scooters, also consider investing in safety gear. If you decide to be ambitious with your options and buy a powerful scooter, first get an ECE 22.06 helmet or better, along with a good pair of gloves. If you’re set on a high-performance option, I’d recommend the Nami Klima Max, purchased through Fluidfreeride. Just be sure to learn on the DRIVE (D) mode instead of S, C, or X modes. I believe the Nami Klima is one of the scooters that received an update this year, and there’s an active owner in their Facebook group (Michael Sha) who’s available to help diagnose problems if needed. Fluidfreeride has been a consistently good retailer for me, since I live near their centers I'd recommend it, but make sure to look at this map before making any decision with purchasing the Nami Klima Max. (https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1xSLhuOoNh9l7oAahfUG7-Mq8sC\_wbHjz&femb=1&ll=42.42722731084132%2C-86.0724904430783&z=7) Aside from that, you're going to only really replace these parts or do maintenance on the Nami Klima's Brake Pads 200-300 miles Tires 200-2000 miles (Depends on your driving style; smooth or aggressive throttle. Aggressive wears tires quickly) Look at your brake levers & caliber's brake fluids once every couple months Tire pressure keep it at 45-50 psi (Check almost every day, but I recommend riding on 45 psi because there is a lot more grip on it but go with 50 psi if needed) Cautionary: Do not do jumps on any escooter with suspension, that's how your suspension breaks. The Nami Klima doesn't have a folding latch for upstairs if you need to take one up there. \^ The Nami Stellar would be an overall better option but it's only available with Nami only... Aside from that, good luck with your purchase and I hope you the best. Stay safe and make sure to update us later on.

Many knowledgeable riders here that can help answer this from their own personal experiences but wana appreciate your high quality post 🌟 You could add the Inmotion RS Lite to the list too? Covers all your req’s but much cheaper than the RS, with smaller dual motors and battery (1500w vs 2000w & 72v 30ah vs 40ah) but it’s had great reviews. It’s a bit heavier than the Nami linked above (115lbs vs 78lbs). Lots of love for the Nami Klima here, both this and the RS Lite have different styles both physically and riding wise but highly recommended. You could get the Segway Max G2 but as you’re open to dual motor/longer range/higher quality dual suspension options alongside it, best to buy what you need/want the first time :) Apollo doesn’t have the most likability here, customer services, repairability and inconsistent build quality, have left them down tbh and Dualtron uses the older tech (square wave controllers vs sine), so a bit dated, albeit well liked.

I have the Klima One (single motor) version. I don’t really live in a hilly city but I’m sure it would do just fine tackling hills, as I haven’t really seen it struggle with anything. Top speed is roughly 60KMH and it’s insanely good and comfortable. Honestly, I’d probably choose it over the Super Stellar as it has larger tires and hydraulic suspension. If you can though I’d spend the extra cash and go for the dual motor Klima. It’s an amazing machine.

The most scooter for the money that I could find was the teverun blade gt2. 5400w peak output from dualtron controllers 52mph, kke shocks, 26ah for $1800 or 35ah for 2200. The nami klima is a great option as well, but it isn't as fast, and the 30ah version isnt in stock, so I went with the teverun. Over 800 miles, and I'm super happy with the quality.

Can't go wrong with the klima, but the extra 5 amp hours on the blade is substantial and they are the same price.

At least if you buy a used teverun, you dont have to check to see if it has the neck that snaps off while you're riding it 🤷‍♂️. The namis didn't seem like a step up when I tried them out, I don't get the hype. But I guess everyone has their own preference.

Random but instead of turning right on 132nd, you could turn left and make a right on Willow and take a nice protected bidirectional bike lane to Bruckner, which has another dope bidirectional bike lane straight to 149th. The S1F is pretty cool, I just worry about that IP 54 rating, especially that downhill section next to the fdny training facility on the island. When it rains bad, that area floods horribly. You can ride up under the RFK to get around. Just thought I should let you know. I can’t think of something off the top with at least a ip55 rating at your budget, but you may want to add some diy waterproofing measures. Me personally, I’d recommend a Nami Klima, but it’s overkill. https://preview.redd.it/18e855xmblfe1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5647711792427711c3dd3b1a99de1e8185c1f92

I can get close to 70km (43 miles) on my Nami Klima on one charge, 180 lbs guy here, on mostly flat surface at 25-32 kph (15-20 mph). The Klima is fun and comfortable to ride too.

You have to drive slowly, like 25 km/h (in my area, that's the legal limit) and take it easy when accelerating. But that's really the range limit as the battery runs out. If you add hills, forget it. Usually, I can do a 45-50 km ride without worrying too much about the terrain and riding at 30-35 km/h.

If I was you I’d go with the Nami klima for short range the smaller battery model would work However having a bigger battery is always preferable as is the name Brand cells over the generics I’ve owned many scooters I currently own 6 two of them being Nami’s one has just over 5,000 miles the burn e max has over 10,000 miles on it neither has had any problems the other reason that I’d go with the klima aside from ride quality build quality performance . Is with any other. Scooter of something should go wrong with it and the Retailer is out of the part that you need you may be left waiting weeks to months for them to get the part back in stock With the Nami’s you can contact the owner of Nami Micheal Sha directly and have him ship the part to you and have it in less than four days I have other. Friends who own Nami’s they beat on theirs so they break things and need parts they have gone through Sha for parts he can be reached on Nami electric Facebook . If I had one word to describe Nami’s it would be phenomenal. Do be careful go slow at first put it in the D mode and leave it there for the first few hundred miles find a church parking lot to go practice riding in churches are good as their lots are. Empty most Of The time . Also get a full faced motorcycle helmet hard knuckled motorcycle gloves knee and elbow pads are a good idea as is a rechargeable front read light set that You can Set to Flashing a bright yellow flaggers vest . Is a good idea as well have fun stay safe anyways just my .02 cents

Nami, Niu and Inmotion yes. The others? Kind of a crapshoot as to whether or not you get a good one. Segway is expensive for what it is by a decent bit imo, with tons of QC issues, vsett has seen a lot of QC issues as well and Dualtron is just behind most other brands on the tech and specs at what is, again, a really overpriced scooter for what you get. This is all my opinion however so take it with a grain of salt.

NAMI 💗
