Which scooter

Hi I’m VERY new to the whole e-scooter thing 🤪 so I appreciate the patience & help 😁 I’m considering an e-scooter for commute. There’s a couple of steep...

Which scooter

ItsAqua

Willem7 It doesn’t look pleasing to me plus the max speed is 15 mph max on the blast and blast max hard pass for me

ItsAqua The blast does 40MPH. Not sure where you read 15.

I would just be careful about the multitude of cheap Alibaba seemingly value scooters that look very attractive because of posted price and specs and photos. You will wind up as one of these posts on this forum looking for help that no one replies to because the scooter is a one off and no support. Unless you are really handy and have some controller troubleshooting background.
You had some smart choices in your first post. it’s easy to stray understandably. Searching Youtube videos for example you can get bombed with choices. Many of those videos are 90 % hype and 10% reality. At some point you just have to pull the trigger and live with your choice.

ItsAqua

PaulN definitely agree

ItsAqua

2muchcoffee4me oh nvm I read 25 km/h on a website

Willem7

Thank you for your patience & assistance…. Nami it is. Now it’s just a toss up between the Burn-e 2 Pure or the Blast 😁

Willem7 Other than the new reversed front swingarm on the Blast, the E2 is better overall. 72V vs 60V on the blast, etc.

Now, if the Blast ends up being significantly cheaper than the E2, then go for it. It IS a Nami, so build quality will be top notch, and it’ll rip.

ItsAqua UK website? They’re prob limited there.

ItsAqua

2muchcoffee4me yea…..

ItsAqua

2muchcoffee4me feels like they’re copying the weped not a big fan of it if it had like 12 in tires yea but they’re probably going to be 11 in imo swingarm like that need bigger tires

2muchcoffee4me

ItsAqua 11″ same as the Burn E
It’s basically like a Zero 10x with a reverse swingarm and much better build quality and electronics.

ItsAqua

2muchcoffee4me oh man I hope it doesn’t have the same folding mechanism as the zero

2muchcoffee4me

ItsAqua Same type I think. Large double clamp on the stem. Shouldn’t have any wobble, though. Michael Sha is pretty anal about design details. He also listens to owners and revises his designs based on their feedback.

ItsAqua

2muchcoffee4me I would like to see a faster folding mechanism on the nami not a fan of the current folding mechanism

2muchcoffee4me

ItsAqua Fair enough. It’s solid though. Also, 100lb scooters aren’t really for packing around anyways. Folding stem is a bonus, lol.

Willem7

I’m pretty much set on the Nami, but then I saw the Dualtron City 😁 Thoughts? Thank you

PaulN

Willem7
It’s a different ride because of the large wheels. It has good reviews. and will definitely smooth out bad road conditions. I believe Dualtron support is decent as well. Do a search on YT and watch some videos about it. I think it is a good choice for a rider who likes cruising comfortably.

ItsAqua

PaulN too bad cattitude disappeared after he got his dualtron city 😢

PaulN

ItsAqua
Yeah I know, i think he said something about joining a Facebook club here in the city that was more active and did meets, so who knows ?

Willem7

Can the Nami’s battery be replaced if needed? Thank you

2muchcoffee4me

Willem7 Yes. You can take the deck cover off and remove/replace the battery.
