Nami Electric - RS (Race Edition)

My nami died at 300 miles :(

Nami scooters are the best. Get a Burn E 2

I saw someone mention Nami, and I completely agree. I love my Nami, and I love not having to connect an app even just to record my trip, or the miles of the scooter. You can just use the app to set the scooter up, and then never use it again. However… With my old NIU scooter, there were features that you just wouldn’t be able to use without the app. For example, the most important feature (to me) that I think blows that it requires the app. The electronic locking.. I would be able to hold the power button on the scooter for 5 seconds and it would lock the scooter so if anyone tried to move it the E-brake would engage, and it would start beeping. I used this in conjunction with a physical lock. But without your phone, you wouldn’t be able to unlock the scooter again. Some other more useless features that maybe you might care about would be scooter mileage, trip miles, or a battery percentage. Most low-end commuters don’t tell you the percentage on the screen, just bars or dots representing 10-20%. So if you want to know the specific percent, you have to use the app. I don’t know how much you care about any of those features, but it’s worth mentioning.

Every brand will have their issues. Also buy some locktite blue for your display screws. They will fall out eventually

A 3k budget leaves you with many options. The Nami Burn-E would probably be my top choice. I have an RS Lite that I scored for under $2300 and it's a beast. I weigh 265 and have gotten it up to 52mph according to the speedo, but im sure it's not totally accurate. Probably actually 45-47mph.

Nami. Bought mine used for $2k. Could not be happier with quality and reliability. It’s so good, if I ever buy another e scooter, it will be a brand new Nami. https://preview.redd.it/hxzqc24c8qvf1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dff09bcedbedc7e47970b86e2cb34d1d3d97fe8c

It's not exactly hate, it's that we've learned on our skin to doubt of generic scooters, their importers and their claims pretty much by definition. Nami are a known factor. They're not perfect - nobody is, especially in this market segment - but their products are proven good and there have been a fair few reports of decent customer support. "Maxfun", we've no idea who they are. Their website is badly translated boilerplate garbage (they deliver [UNCOMPROMISIN GPERFORMANCE](https://maxfunscooter.com/about-us/)! Just in case you thought their gperformance would be compromisin'!), and together with the somewhat ridiculous name it suggests they're yet another importer of parts-bin scooters straight from China - much like iscooter, isinwheel, turboant and a *stupid* amount of other pseudo-brands. Given all that, we tend to consider people like OP who don't look at the bigger picture part of the problem rather than the solution. As for the value of the scooter itself: judging purely on specs, maybe - but you can't judge purely on specs. Maybe that scooter rides awesome today, but who's to tell you the battery isn't made of cheap recycled cells that'll die in a few weeks? Or that the bolts won't loosen up and fall off on their own accord? Or that the stem won't break, or that the welds won't fail, or that the controller won't blow the mosfets into low orbit? Some scooters, you can trust *somewhat*. "Maxfun", you can't.

Honestly I'm so glad I bought a Nami. It's probably the one truly respected brand here

20 kg’s lightish imo, nothing wrong with the specs tho. nami’s really well built, zsnake’s cheaper and works. [tst scooters](https://blog-product-project.vercel.app/?q=4185874) let you check stuff in an app, set cruise, tweak things - which is handy.

Have you considered the used market on FB marketplace? Perhaps a local Escooter pro-shop has a refurbished high end scooter on for a good deal as well... I got my Burn e2 max with only 600km on the odo for under 4k... Then sold my original Synergy Tsunami for 2k (which I had bought used for exactly that amount)... So my Nami only cost me 2k out of pocket.

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.
