Hey Michael, thanks for watching the video and welcome back. I'm glad that you're enjoying them. Doing my best to keep improving on the videos to find that balance of talking and riding lol. I appreciate you watching while I work to get to that point!
I’m definitely an introvert. Especially when I’m just meeting new people. Most of my friends would probably say that I’m an extrovert since I’m now comfortable round them lol.
Hey Hensky, thanks for watching the video and welcome back! As much as I love how chill the S73 is stock, there are times I wish it had the Nami's power/ acceleration. I've jokingly asked my mechanic and modder friends if there are ways to combine the two and they looked at me like I was crazy. They didn't know that I was partially serious hahaha
🤣🤣, it’s terrifying at first. Eventually you get used to it and it feels like you need something that goes 75 😅. Crazy thing about the Nami is you don’t realize you’re going that fast because of how planted it feels
Howdy from a 65 year old, with his first scooter, 2 x 1200v motors, from New Zealand. I got my scoot as soon as the courier companies returned to work in '23, so ive had it about 1 month. I love it and out riding it reminds me of when I was a kid out on my bike looking around my city. I actually get some of the same thoughts and feelings, funny that. This is a great way to see your city. Ive subbed to the channel so we will be catching up next time, bye for now.
Thank you for watching and subbing. Congrats on your new scooter, I definitely get a similar sense of joy when riding. I definitely always have a smile on my face and have the occasional childlike outbursts as well 😂
I like to believe that those of us who ride pevs are introverted in some manner or other but our batteries work the same. They recharge when we are in our own company. I really enjoy your content and I loved this new route. Pevs are refreshing to ride however they can get monotonous riding the same route.
I agree with you. There’s something quite soothing about “ride therapy”. Being on the road just relaxing while listening to music is amazing. I’m glad you enjoyed the new routes. I try to change it up when I have extra time because I do my recording to on from work. I rarely get time to just ride on my day off so it does end up feeling monotonous. Especially when there’s only 3 ways to get to the city and most of the time you gotta take the “usual fast route” to work 😂
Interesting topic you bring up. I consider myself an introvert as well, and I found TH-cam to be a good outlet for me as well! I am literally talking to myself when I record videos, haha. Good stuff brother!
I really like the music when you get into Manhattan! I always thought I was a a super introvert. But recently, I think I might be an ambivert. I'm not sure!
Hi Peter, thank you for watching the video and welcome to the channel. I appreciate ya! Ride therapy for an introvert is an amazing thing, so have fun on the hills of Scotland. I'm sure there must be some amazing views and roads that you get to experience all the time!
Hi David, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Score another for team introvert. It seems that there's tons of us on this platform lol. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Just pardon the rough quality and rough editing on the older videos! To this day I'm still trying to refine the settings and figure stuff out lol!
I can say am an introvert myself as I run my social battery out so fast, I am really gunning for nami it looks fun to ride in my hometown, I love watching your vlogs man.
Hi Nitta, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I hope I can continue to make content that you’ll enjoy. Score another one for team introvert lol. Even after years of professional and personal development, I feel that I have those days where my social battery just drains so much faster. After my first two meeting, I’m basically ready to go home and enjoy some alone time lol. I think you’ll really enjoy it! Where’s your hometown?
@@eyebahnrides yea ikr that's why meeting shouldn't last more than 30mins, I live near the coast line and mountains in Philippines, Bataan. I use 125cc scoot for commute but having this pev would definitely change the experience.
@@nitta9892 lol I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, there are people out there who just love to hear themselves talk and it leads to longer meetings than needed! I joined the Nami Philippines group on FB and I watch their long rides on there all the time. It looks scooting along coast and the mountain roads would seem like it would be alot of fun! It'll definitely be a nice change of pace to your 125cc. Maybe you can visit their dealer when you get the chance to test ride the line up. I believe they have all 3 models available with different upgrades.
I am definitely an introvert. Sometimes people at work are surprised by that but like you I have spent a lot of effort working on learning how to be social when needed but it is definitely a drain. Sometimes relatives are a little put off when I always get a hotel when I visit but I need get back to a space that is just my own at the end of a day visiting. How is the polish finger throttle? I’ve seen posts on other places saying it is just on or off with no fine control. Do you have any links of which one to by or installation instructions? Thanks for this content I really love seeing how you navigate the streets of NY on the Nami. I know in other videos you have talked about doing some videos of other non-commute rides. I would love to see that! Thanks!
I'm the exact same when I travel to an area with family lives. I appreciate them opening their doors to me, however, I'd much rather have my own personal space with a hotel or a bnb. In my opinion, this throttle is amazing. I made the switch to it after about 800 miles on the thumb throttle and I'm glad that I did. In my experience, the PFT allows for finer feathering of the throttle. I can ride my Nami with all the settings maxed out and I have as much control at 4mph as i do at 55+mph. I also don't just squeeze the hell out of it all the time lol. I always assume folks haven't set it up properly or have not taken the time to learn how to use it properly. Check out this link: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1435752426759909&set=pcb.758654631480592 . This is the diagram I gave to my mechanic during installation. You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your support. I hope that I can expand on the ride variety when it gets warmer.
I like your riding video, I am also an introvert, and I feel very relaxed when riding through the city, anyway, please continue to update the video, I am from Taiwan 🇹🇼, thank you friend 🇺🇸 🤭🤭🤭 我喜歡你的騎乘視頻，我也是內向的人，騎乘穿梭城市心情很舒壓，無論如何，請繼續保持視頻更新，我來自台灣🇹🇼，謝謝你朋友🇺🇸 🤭🤭🤭
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel, I appreciate you! I’m glad you like the video and I believe it’s a lot of fun for us introverts to ride by ourselves in the city and let our minds rest while enjoying the sites of the city. Safe riding in Taiwan my friend! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Hey Ivan, I’ve been watching your videos and I really enjoyed them.. I’m going to buy a scooter. Do you have any suggestions? I am 6 foot two, 240 pounds. thanks and be safe.!
Hey William, thanks for watching the video and thanks for your support! I appreciate ya. I would recommend one of the beast scooters for you. As a taller heavier rider, you’ll need a scooter a scooter with power. A riding buddy of mine has your build and he’s had the Nami Burn E, Wolf warrior gt, wolf king gt, and a few smaller ones. As a bigger guy, you’ll need the deck space to stand comfortably and all of those would do the job. Just make sure to confirm ip rating if you need water resistance. I think that’s a good place to start. I would also check Electric Scooter Guide video on top 5 scooters for big guys. Ramier does an amazing job of breaking it down. Here’s the link to the video th-cam.com/video/fWT_lPSnES0/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps!
Not today thankfully. I’ll be driving around because I got quite a few errands to do with the wifey. However, tomorrow I’ll be recording the shenanigans 😅. Are you working and riding?
Thanks for watching the video! I did a first impression of the Burn-E 2 a few months ago when my friend loaned me his. Check it out, here's the link. th-cam.com/video/Wjh2dWO3LQY/w-d-xo.html In short, I really enjoyed my time on the Burn-E 2. It was alot of fun and plenty of power for a commuter scooter. I personally wouldn't upgrade from the original Burn-E to the Burn-E 2 because it would reduce my range and top speed. However, I would consider upgrading to the Nami Klima Max or Nami Blast Max because they have a smaller profile than the Burn-E. As much as I love this scooter, sometimes it's just a little too big for the spaces I'm trying to navigate (i.e. hallways, work bike room, convenience stores, drug stores etc)
I would say Im an Introvert , I never liked social gatherings , I prefer to be alone spending time in the library or reading a book than going to a party or gathering, I dont go on group rides , only with my brother.
Thanks for watching the video and thanks for chiming in, I appreciate ya! I’m right there with you. For many years, my ideal night was just coming home to a good book and enjoying it with an amazing tea on my favorite reading chair. I would always dread “having to go” to gatherings 😅. Similarly, I’ve been in the pev scene for 2 years now and haven’t been on a group ride. I do have 2 other friends I will occasionally ride with and that’s plenty for me 😂. However, I’m probably going g to have to do a group ride to have a chance of pace for the content 🤦🏻♂️
I'm curious, if buying a PEV for use in the city, what would be the minimum max speed you'd recommend for this type of commuting? Obviously having more in reserve is great should you need it, but with it generally comes size, weight, and cost.
Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate ya! I say the minimum max speed is 30mph with a decent amount of torque. The reason is there are times that you won’t be able to use a bike lane and 30-37 mph will allow you comfortably move with the flow of traffic. If your commute is all bike lanes, any of the scooters or bikes that go 20-25mph will be more than doable! For city riding, I believe that torque/ acceleration and stopping power is more important than top speed. The ability to stop and quickly accelerate will help you get out of a lot of shtty situations. I love my Nami Burn E but I do feel that it’s a bit overkill for 99% of what I do. I’m even considering changing to the Nami Klima which is much smaller and has a lower top speed. I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides Great feedback! I actually live on the CT shoreline for most of the year, so I very seldom see any traffic conditions like that, but I was quite curious about this as I was also thinking about bringing a scooter into NYC. I actually recently saw a good video on the Nami Klima and thought of you as it seems to have amazing to torque and acceleration, but in a lighter and more compact size. It's interesting you're considering switching over to it. I just didn't know if it would be fast enough for doing the type of commuting you do within the city. BTW, the new Roadruner RS5+ looks attractive as well.
@@ssoffshore5111 Thanks, I'm glad I could help! Yea, a compact performance type of scooter would probably be best if you have to take it on the the MetroNorth. I would even check their scooter requirements because I know they're banned on certain public transpo like NYC buses. I saw the Ride & Glide video and I've been watching the ride footage of the Klima/ Blast owners it in the Nami group and I'm really impressed by it. One of my favorite scooters that I've ever owned was the Mantis Pro. It was perfect except for the water resistance and the stiff suspension. The Klima is literally a significantly upgraded version of that original mantis and, in my opinion, a better looking option to the Mantis King GT. Ill check out the Road Runner 5. I have to really deep dive into the batteries because try to be as conscious of the the battery packs that are in the scooter. With all the fires that are going around NYC, I don't want to add to that stat.
Thank you for watching the video, I appreciate you. You're correct, this is the original Gen 1 Nami and it didn't have the 40ah option at the time. I go into detail on how I chose the Nami in my review video. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/6UPY-nOBIEU/w-d-xo.html. I hope that helps!
Any falls because pavement or road issues? If so, what was injuries? I know you mentioned breaking hand if im not mistaken, but dont remember the details
No issues on the scooter or ebike. My accident was on my Inmotion V11. I was going 10 mph and I tried to avoid something but my pedal hit the curb. I flew off and my hand hit the curb.
Hi Anthony, thanks for watching the video. I use two helmets on the Nami. Most of the time and the one that you’re seeing in this video is the TSG pass pro. Keep in mind this isn’t as protective as a moto helmet because it’s a downhill skateboard helmet. Link is in the description of the video if you want I check it out. The other helmet that I wear is a motorcycle helmet and its called the Icon Airflite.
Hey Ivan buddy it’s been a minute I’m also introverted as well. By the way I love my Nami it feels like I’m riding a 150cc moped. I’m glade you told me to get the 40ah max it was worth it. Essentially it’s a portable moped that I could put in the trunk of my suv.
Hey Johnson, it's definitely been a minute. I'm glad you went with the 40ah and you're loving the scooter. It's got amazing power and comfort for something portable. Surprisingly, I can get it into the back seat of my small sedan lol. Based on the responses it seems like everyone that's subscribed to me is team introvert!
@@Paperchasen83 40ah just allows you to go longer with out charging compared to the 35ah and 32 ah versions. Max also comes with 50amp controllers and 1500 watt motors so it gives you more power than the burn e 2.
Hey Alvin, thanks for watching the videos and thank you for your support. I appreciate ya. I’ll do my best to keep making content that hopefully everyone enjoys watching! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
introvert, or maybe i just dont trust people after dealing with my family. btw i have a 40ah Nami, im also building a 6kw (8kw+ later?) middrive ebike.
Thanks for watching the video! Yea, I think certain things will push us in a particular direction. I’ve been thinking about getting a battery upgrade for the Nami. That mid drive sounds like it’s going to be crazy! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I don't consider myself as an introvert but I do hate Crowds. I would usually do anything to avoid crowds. My family thinks I'm a "party pooper" when I decline to go with them to theme parks or concerts. I would rather go outdoors like camping, hiking with a buddy or by myself.
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel hellraizer44, I appreciate ya. I'm right there with you. I'm not a fan of being surrounded by a swarm of people. If you watch my Super73 group ride video, there's a part of the ride where I was completely surrounded by bikes and pedestrians and I was like " this is giving me anxiety" lol. I'm also happiest when its just my wife and I or I'm by myself. That's why I enjoy the solo content creation process, though I'm doing my best to be more social lol
@Eyebahn Rides So despite growing up in Chicago (yes, in the city), spending ~20 years in the military, and still working for DoD; I'm very much an introvert who had to learn how to be an extrovert for society. I'm definitely going to check out that Quiet book.
@@davecook81 I understand completely. There's a part in the book that talks about the USA and our obsession with the Extrovert Ideal that you may find interesting. It's a great book, I've read a few times and have listened to the audiobook a few times as well. I have the link in the video's description if you want to pick it up.
Thanks for watching the video Marvin and welcome to the channel. I bought it from and had the trigger installed by my guys at FFR in Brooklyn. It required the wires to be soldered in order for it to work. It's been one of the best upgrades I've done to the scooter!
Thanks for your reply brother… Did that void your warranty? I’m actually located in Brooklyn I’m trying to buy my Naomi from the fluid free ride shop that you advertise on your video I have visited them yesterday to test drive the Nami and I love it and they are super cool there the guy was telling me about a Kabbo trigger throttle that will work for the Nami without needing soldering just plug and play. Do you hear anything about this?
@@marvinromero3295 I don’t think it voided the warranty because I had ir soldered to the extra throttle that I have. That means we can still unplug it and reinstall the original. Chuck and the guys are awesome at FFR. They really know how to take care of their customers. The kaabo throttle is plug and play with no additional work required. They didn’t have it at the time I had it modified so I didn’t have the option. Most people are used to those types of throttles so I think it’s a better option for most people. It’s also nice that you can just buy the part and install it yourself.
Beautiful brother thanks again for the reply. I love your videos. Keep it going. I am also an introvert so I can definitely relate to you keep up the good work brother 💯
Hi I'm looking for a hyper scooter to do Uber eats around here and to have fun on my spare time do you recommend the nami to keep up with traffic the higher speed limits around here is 38 mph everybody else does 43 mph everywhere is the scooter stable at those speeds my first upgrade is going to be my old bikes wider handlebar and then PMT tires and after a year I'm going to swap out the suspension do you think that the scooter would be a good purchase for me I'll be purchasing the 2024 model by the time I save up and purchase the nami burn-E do you recommend this scooter to me I'm mechanically inclined I work on my own bicycles motorcycles and cars and I have a motorcycle license and motorcycle gear e-bikes in Canada are restricted to 15 mph but e-scooters are open to whatever you want plus the city is not bike friendly
Thanks for watching the video! If the max speed that you need is in the mid 40's mph, I would recommend the Burn E2 or the Blast so that you don't have to spend Burn E or E2 Max amounts of money. Both give you great ride comfort and great stability at high speeds. The reason most people get wobbles with the Burn E/ E2 max is they decelerate too hard at 55+mph and or the riding posture is off. Ive had my Burn E now for over 2000+ miles and almost 2 years and it's the most reliable and fun scooter I've owned. Regardless of which Nami you decide to go with, they all have amazing power delivery that gives you excellent control over the speed so that you can keep up with any form of traffic that you encounter. With the higher power variants of the scooter, it will allow you to keep up at the higher speeds. I hope this helps
Hey Bruno, thanks for watching the video and welcome back! It's all good. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on the subject, I just know a little bit based on what I've read over the years. lol with that said, you're correct. We're all social creatures. The difference is how the introvert/ extrovert's brains are wired to respond to the social stimulus. Introverts find it to be draining and will require time to recharge after, while the extrovert gains energy from the situation and doesn't need to recover from it.
Can you talk about the problems you faced using the scooter so far? Like changing the tyres to PMT brand or any other controllers faults, or sound in the suspensions? I am planning on buying one, but I need to find out what problem will face me.
Hey Ecoder, thanks for watching the video. I have a review video you can check out here th-cam.com/video/6UPY-nOBIEU/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you have more questions after. As for changing the tires, I didn’t do it my self I had my scooter shop do it and they did it quickly and easily. Only major issue I had was a cracked rim. That was my fault because I was speeding in an area I wasn’t familiar with and hit a large pothole at high speed. I’m at 1800 miles now and no issues with the scooter. Keep in mind I also don’t abuse it and I actually have it maintained
Thanks for watching the video and welcome back! Sounds about right based on the test that one of my previous jobs had me take. But I'm glad you got it lol.

what do you think about the burn-e 2 do you want to upgrade ?

I would say Im an Introvert , I never liked social gatherings , I prefer to be alone spending time in the library or reading a book than going to a party or gathering, I dont go on group rides , only with my brother.
Thanks for watching the video and thanks for chiming in, I appreciate ya! I’m right there with you. For many years, my ideal night was just coming home to a good book and enjoying it with an amazing tea on my favorite reading chair. I would always dread “having to go” to gatherings 😅. Similarly, I’ve been in the pev scene for 2 years now and haven’t been on a group ride. I do have 2 other friends I will occasionally ride with and that’s plenty for me 😂. However, I’m probably going g to have to do a group ride to have a chance of pace for the content 🤦🏻♂️
I'm curious, if buying a PEV for use in the city, what would be the minimum max speed you'd recommend for this type of commuting? Obviously having more in reserve is great should you need it, but with it generally comes size, weight, and cost.
Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate ya! I say the minimum max speed is 30mph with a decent amount of torque. The reason is there are times that you won’t be able to use a bike lane and 30-37 mph will allow you comfortably move with the flow of traffic. If your commute is all bike lanes, any of the scooters or bikes that go 20-25mph will be more than doable! For city riding, I believe that torque/ acceleration and stopping power is more important than top speed. The ability to stop and quickly accelerate will help you get out of a lot of shtty situations.
I love my Nami Burn E but I do feel that it’s a bit overkill for 99% of what I do. I’m even considering changing to the Nami Klima which is much smaller and has a lower top speed.
I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides Great feedback! I actually live on the CT shoreline for most of the year, so I very seldom see any traffic conditions like that, but I was quite curious about this as I was also thinking about bringing a scooter into NYC. I actually recently saw a good video on the Nami Klima and thought of you as it seems to have amazing to torque and acceleration, but in a lighter and more compact size. It's interesting you're considering switching over to it. I just didn't know if it would be fast enough for doing the type of commuting you do within the city. BTW, the new Roadruner RS5+ looks attractive as well.
@@ssoffshore5111 Thanks, I'm glad I could help! Yea, a compact performance type of scooter would probably be best if you have to take it on the the MetroNorth. I would even check their scooter requirements because I know they're banned on certain public transpo like NYC buses. I saw the Ride & Glide video and I've been watching the ride footage of the Klima/ Blast owners it in the Nami group and I'm really impressed by it.
One of my favorite scooters that I've ever owned was the Mantis Pro. It was perfect except for the water resistance and the stiff suspension. The Klima is literally a significantly upgraded version of that original mantis and, in my opinion, a better looking option to the Mantis King GT. Ill check out the Road Runner 5. I have to really deep dive into the batteries because try to be as conscious of the the battery packs that are in the scooter. With all the fires that are going around NYC, I don't want to add to that stat.
How did decide on the naml its not the 40ah I assume
Thank you for watching the video, I appreciate you. You're correct, this is the original Gen 1 Nami and it didn't have the 40ah option at the time. I go into detail on how I chose the Nami in my review video. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/6UPY-nOBIEU/w-d-xo.html. I hope that helps!
Any falls because pavement or road issues? If so, what was injuries? I know you mentioned breaking hand if im not mistaken, but dont remember the details
No issues on the scooter or ebike. My accident was on my Inmotion V11. I was going 10 mph and I tried to avoid something but my pedal hit the curb. I flew off and my hand hit the curb.
@@eyebahnrides that sucks, only 10?! Sorry bro
@@jgreed5 all good man. Just goes to show that you can get hurt at any speed. I just happen to fall at the wrong angle and hit the curb.
What kind of helmet is that? I'd like to get one like that when I become a scooter owner...
Hi Anthony, thanks for watching the video. I use two helmets on the Nami. Most of the time and the one that you’re seeing in this video is the TSG pass pro. Keep in mind this isn’t as protective as a moto helmet because it’s a downhill skateboard helmet. Link is in the description of the video if you want I check it out. The other helmet that I wear is a motorcycle helmet and its called the Icon Airflite.
Hey Ivan buddy it’s been a minute I’m also introverted as well. By the way I love my Nami it feels like I’m riding a 150cc moped. I’m glade you told me to get the 40ah max it was worth it. Essentially it’s a portable moped that I could put in the trunk of my suv.
Hey Johnson, it's definitely been a minute. I'm glad you went with the 40ah and you're loving the scooter. It's got amazing power and comfort for something portable. Surprisingly, I can get it into the back seat of my small sedan lol. Based on the responses it seems like everyone that's subscribed to me is team introvert!
Hey why get the 40ah vs the other options
@@Paperchasen83 40ah just allows you to go longer with out charging compared to the 35ah and 32 ah versions. Max also comes with 50amp controllers and 1500 watt motors so it gives you more power than the burn e 2.
Really Love watching your videos. Keep making more contents like this.
Hey Alvin, thanks for watching the videos and thank you for your support. I appreciate ya. I’ll do my best to keep making content that hopefully everyone enjoys watching! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
introvert, or maybe i just dont trust people after dealing with my family. btw i have a 40ah Nami, im also building a 6kw (8kw+ later?) middrive ebike.
Thanks for watching the video! Yea, I think certain things will push us in a particular direction. I’ve been thinking about getting a battery upgrade for the Nami. That mid drive sounds like it’s going to be crazy! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I don't consider myself as an introvert but I do hate Crowds. I would usually do anything to avoid crowds. My family thinks I'm a "party pooper" when I decline to go with them to theme parks or concerts. I would rather go outdoors like camping, hiking with a buddy or by myself.
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel hellraizer44, I appreciate ya. I'm right there with you. I'm not a fan of being surrounded by a swarm of people. If you watch my Super73 group ride video, there's a part of the ride where I was completely surrounded by bikes and pedestrians and I was like " this is giving me anxiety" lol.
I'm also happiest when its just my wife and I or I'm by myself. That's why I enjoy the solo content creation process, though I'm doing my best to be more social lol
Thanks kabayan. I love your content, please keep up the great work.
Good morning
Morning David, thanks for watching the video! I appreciate ya.
@Eyebahn Rides So despite growing up in Chicago (yes, in the city), spending ~20 years in the military, and still working for DoD; I'm very much an introvert who had to learn how to be an extrovert for society. I'm definitely going to check out that Quiet book.
@@davecook81 I understand completely. There's a part in the book that talks about the USA and our obsession with the Extrovert Ideal that you may find interesting. It's a great book, I've read a few times and have listened to the audiobook a few times as well. I have the link in the video's description if you want to pick it up.
Hey, curious to know how did you put trigger throttle on the Nami?
Thanks for watching the video Marvin and welcome to the channel. I bought it from and had the trigger installed by my guys at FFR in Brooklyn. It required the wires to be soldered in order for it to work. It's been one of the best upgrades I've done to the scooter!
Thanks for your reply brother… Did that void your warranty? I’m actually located in Brooklyn I’m trying to buy my Naomi from the fluid free ride shop that you advertise on your video I have visited them yesterday to test drive the Nami and I love it and they are super cool there the guy was telling me about a Kabbo trigger throttle that will work for the Nami without needing soldering just plug and play. Do you hear anything about this?
@@marvinromero3295 I don’t think it voided the warranty because I had ir soldered to the extra throttle that I have. That means we can still unplug it and reinstall the original. Chuck and the guys are awesome at FFR. They really know how to take care of their customers. The kaabo throttle is plug and play with no additional work required. They didn’t have it at the time I had it modified so I didn’t have the option. Most people are used to those types of throttles so I think it’s a better option for most people. It’s also nice that you can just buy the part and install it yourself.
Beautiful brother thanks again for the reply. I love your videos. Keep it going. I am also an introvert so I can definitely relate to you keep up the good work brother 💯
@@marvinromero3295 Anytime, appreciate ya!
That speed is mph right?
Thanks for watching the video! Yes, all speeds recorded are in MPH.
Hi I'm looking for a hyper scooter to do Uber eats around here and to have fun on my spare time do you recommend the nami to keep up with traffic the higher speed limits around here is 38 mph everybody else does 43 mph everywhere is the scooter stable at those speeds my first upgrade is going to be my old bikes wider handlebar and then PMT tires and after a year I'm going to swap out the suspension do you think that the scooter would be a good purchase for me I'll be purchasing the 2024 model by the time I save up and purchase the nami burn-E do you recommend this scooter to me I'm mechanically inclined I work on my own bicycles motorcycles and cars and I have a motorcycle license and motorcycle gear e-bikes in Canada are restricted to 15 mph but e-scooters are open to whatever you want plus the city is not bike friendly
Thanks for watching the video! If the max speed that you need is in the mid 40's mph, I would recommend the Burn E2 or the Blast so that you don't have to spend Burn E or E2 Max amounts of money. Both give you great ride comfort and great stability at high speeds. The reason most people get wobbles with the Burn E/ E2 max is they decelerate too hard at 55+mph and or the riding posture is off. Ive had my Burn E now for over 2000+ miles and almost 2 years and it's the most reliable and fun scooter I've owned. Regardless of which Nami you decide to go with, they all have amazing power delivery that gives you excellent control over the speed so that you can keep up with any form of traffic that you encounter. With the higher power variants of the scooter, it will allow you to keep up at the higher speeds.
I hope this helps
@eyebahnrides think you I was thinking of getting the burn-E 3 max for the range in mode 3
i dont understand difference between introverts and extroverts. I think all ppl are social creatures. You just need to find right company
Hey Bruno, thanks for watching the video and welcome back! It's all good. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on the subject, I just know a little bit based on what I've read over the years. lol with that said, you're correct. We're all social creatures. The difference is how the introvert/ extrovert's brains are wired to respond to the social stimulus. Introverts find it to be draining and will require time to recharge after, while the extrovert gains energy from the situation and doesn't need to recover from it.
Can you talk about the problems you faced using the scooter so far? Like changing the tyres to PMT brand or any other controllers faults, or sound in the suspensions?
I am planning on buying one, but I need to find out what problem will face me.
Hey Ecoder, thanks for watching the video. I have a review video you can check out here th-cam.com/video/6UPY-nOBIEU/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you have more questions after. As for changing the tires, I didn’t do it my self I had my scooter shop do it and they did it quickly and easily. Only major issue I had was a cracked rim. That was my fault because I was speeding in an area I wasn’t familiar with and hit a large pothole at high speed. I’m at 1800 miles now and no issues with the scooter. Keep in mind I also don’t abuse it and I actually have it maintained
Sigma INF-J (intro extra) but I get what your are saying 😉
Thanks for watching the video and welcome back! Sounds about right based on the test that one of my previous jobs had me take. But I'm glad you got it lol.
Love it man! thanks
Hey Mikael, thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you loved it!
