=== NAMI Burn-e 2 ===
-----This is my current electric scooter. It isn't perfect, but it is one of the better scooters I've ridden. For $3.5k, it sure better be. Currently clocked at 1,400 miles travelled.

My favourite nickname for this one is "everything is a speedbump".

I bought this under the presumption that I'll just brunt the repair fees of maintenance by shipping it off to fluidfreeride in Miami whenever something goes wrong. It's only on the other side of the state, so it's not like it'd be forever to get it back.

The NAMI Burn-e 2 is my current electric scooter. At $3.5k, there were obviously many considerations and alternatives that were contemplated before landing here. Compared to the Apollo Explore, we're getting another 15 miles per hour for the top speed limit, a gigantic battery, proper, professional and adjustable suspension, and wider, plusher tubeless tires. To my knowledge, tubeless tires were more durable than tubed pneumatic tires, but replacements and repairs were a bit more dicey.

Since I refuse to do either repair by myself, I figured that I'll just get the repair shop to replace the tire, and reap the benefits of a longer lasting assembly. For the most part, that was true, until the inevitable flat tire about 900 miles in. It started off by leaking; I continued to ride the thing in complete denial for another ~500 miles, getting to a point where I needed to fill air with an electric pump every ~1 mile or so. And the current situation is now that the thing just won't rotate correctly at all, and the tire itself is finally giving up.

That's okay! I'll call up Fluid Freeride and ship them back the scooter. Making the repair appointment wasn't hard, now all that's left is packing the  the big boy up and sending it on its way.

In case you are unaware, I've been stuck on that last step for about eight months. Boxes that come in these sizes ''don't exist''.
