Nami Electric - Stellar (Single Motor)

My nami died at 300 miles :(

Mate you haven't listed a decent brand in your entire post Have you never heard of Roadrunner, Teverun, Nami, or Maxfun? Hooga daytona? Willmason?

I have no big complaints with my Nami. I'm not thrilled with how the regen breaking functions, but that feature that can be disabled and doesn't make a huge difference.

I'm also in Seattle and my first scooter, a Segway Max G2, would not cut it. When I was commuting downtown I had to plan my routes very carefully. A hill right by my house would cause it to stop and roll backward unless I put my foot down. That was rated 1000W peak. With the NAMI I can just go right up the steepest hills downtown and keep up with car traffic. It will climb stuff so steep I can barely stand on it, and I'm 220lbs. I used to plan every route with Google Maps using bike mode, and paid close attention to the slopes. What was most frustrating is that all around, cars are driving 30-35 in 25 zones, and on a moderate grade (for instance 25th Ave from 55th St to 75th St) my scooter was limited to about 14MPH in 22MPH Sport mode. It's not safe to ride around the parked cars in the right lane, and I had people passing me in the oncoming lane. It's a very unsafe situation. Being able to maintain 25 at least keeps them behind me.

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.

Kaabo is absolute garbage. Owned one, it was constantly breaking. Nami is much more reliable and higher quality for the same price range.

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

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.

These scooters are good to get your feet wet. If you really enjoy riding it, then you go for the Dualtron, Nami, etc. You'll def feel the difference.

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