[QLD, Preorder] NAMI Burn-E Viper 2 Max 72V 32Ah eScooter + Dragon Raptor 18Ah eScooter + Steering Kit $5999 in-Store Only @ BSC

60

Forget your high yield investment car as it's all about high yield investment scooters now.

This high end off road escooter currently sells for $6299 from other stores and Bike Scooter City are offering the escooter for $5999 with the Dragon Raptor eScooter (worth $1799) and a steering dampener kit (worth $200). Making this a seriously good bargain considering you're getting an extra escooter and kit for less than the Nami itself from other stores.

This offer is for pick up only at Bike Scooter City's Summer Store in Queensland.

The NAMI Burn-e 2 Viper features a massive 72V 32Ah battery with up to 120km range (at avg speed 30km/h), road legal restricted speed of 25km/h, unrestricted private speed of 100km/h, 11" tubeless tyres, IP65 water resistance, dual 1500W motors, 8400W peak power, dual suspension, 2x 50A sinewave controllers, 150kg max rider weight, 2000lm headlight and Logan 4 piston full hydraulic brakes.

The Dragon Raptor features a 52V 18Ah battery with up to 55km range, road legal restricted speed of 25km/h, unrestricted private speed of 62km/h, 10" tyres, dual 2000W motors, 3600W peak power, dual suspension and max 135kg weight.

I've rode the Dragon Raptor before and can vouch for it's quality. It's one of the most comfortable offroad escooters I've tested, while offering a lot of power (dual mode for hills especially) and handles normal road commutes too.

    NSW residents we know escooters are illegal there. This is for Queensland where they're legal… before anyone says it.

  • excessive capitalism right here folks.

    not a bargain either

    • +3

      Not a bargain you say? Alright let me pop over to Electric Kicks and pay $6299 for the NAMI, then BSC for the $1799 Dragon Raptor and $200 steering kit.

      Welp I've just spent $8298 instead of $5999!

        That only works if you were in the market for 2 scooters. And it shows you how much margin is in these things if they can give them away like that and stay in business.

        • +1

          If you're wanting a single Nami then you're making $300 profit by paying $5999 instead of $6299 and getting a $1799 scooter and $200 kit. If you have no use for the extra scooter then sell it. Could easily get $1500 for it in Queensland where there's massive scooter groups. Bam now $1700 profit.

    100km/h off-road scooter! Does that sound like a bad idea to anyone else, or am I just getting old?

    • No, not just you, it's a deathtrap, but if people want to wipe themselves out on private land, it's quite a spectacular way to go!

    • 60km/hr without a steering dampener is as fast as I could ever handle. 100km/hr no one is going to do but the power is there. If anything it's offering a lot of range.

      • Full range is at 30km/hr, at double the speed the range will be less than half.

        • A significantly better rating than what Segway and the other toys are offering where it's rated at half of that speed. I took a 60V/24.5Ah battery escooter offroad for 40km over the weekend and had 30% juice left over. Considering the scooter is 2 years old the battery would have degraded since then.

  • Yeah, 5% off, bleh.

    And the only place you can access more than 1/4 of it's potential is offroad, that's a lot of money for a very niche experience.

    • Saving $2299 from $8298. That's not 5% off.

      • For the even more niche market of people that were looking to buy these exact 2 scooters at RRP, then your logic checks out.

        • -1

          It's not niche in Queensland. Certainly niche in Sydney where you live as it's illegal.

          • -1

            @Clear: Qld is about to drop the public speed limit for these things to 12hm/h, so even in qld to use it (legally) to its true capacity is niche.

              • -1

                @BoundedRationality: Irrelevant. 12km/h only applies to pedestrian footpaths and that makes sense in congested areas not designed for cyclists or scooters. Shared paths and dedicated tracks are still 25km/h legally. Off-road tracks both of these scooters will handle perfectly.

                Meanwhile in Sydney you get a big fine regardless of what speed. Why is it always the ones from Sydney that come in and crap on everyone's scooter deals?

                • @Clear: Dude I haven't negged your deal so save your tears.

                  Scooters this big are absolutely dangerous in an urban environment because as that link shows, there are too many people who don't follow the rules. A 30kg scooter doing 60km/h hitting a pedestrian is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal… but my point was simply this is a niche deal at best.

                  • -1

                    @BoundedRationality: If you had started with that in the first place I would have agreed with you. Electric scooters are niche, offroad escooters and EUCs are starting to emerge as a popular sport among riders as they become more legal. 60km/h or even 30km/h in a built up urban area absolutely is dangerous.

                    Regardless of how niche this is it meets the criteria of being a bargain given the discounts and what you're getting compared to other stores where you pay more for significantly less.

                    • @Clear: Mate, from my first comment in this thread:

                      "And the only place you can access more than 1/4 of it's potential is offroad, that's a lot of money for a very niche experience."

                      Anyway, enjoy your scooter.

    I'm from Victoria and I, for one, appreciate Clear's scooter posts. They give me an idea of the state of the emerging market. I'm still riding my Mi Pro 2 around and it's saved me so many headaches when making a last mile commute to the city after a 45 minute drive from the 'burbs.

    • +1

      Also got my Mi Pro 2 from Clear's post. Been commuting to work with it all the way from home.

      Free charging at work. Saved so much fuel.

    • I don't mean to discriminate but the most vocal people in scooter posts are always people from the most restricted state…. NSW. The Pro 2 is still an excellent budget daily commute scooter. Only recently have I moved into the more high powered scooters. The Dragon Raptor in this post is probably the best commuter + offroad scooter you can get at the moment.

      Though the Bolzzen Commando coming to stores this Friday for $1899 I think will really shake up the market in the budget dual motor range.

      • The Bolzzen is quite the proposition. 28kg makes it more of a full time commuter as opposed to stuffing it in the boot and scooting from where you've parked, though. Thanks for the heads up.

        • The factory sells it direct as the Joyor S10 so there's already a few YouTube videos from Europe showing it in action. I'd say if you were looking for something better than a Segway it's the way to go.

          • @Clear: At this point the Pro 2 does everything I can ask it to. If I was closer to town I'd love an upgrade but at this point I can't rely solely on a scooter unfortunately.

  • I'd say by performance alone, the burn-e is niche due to the insane performance. My Zero 10x is already pretty scary at 60 km/h and I rarely get to utilise the full speed. That being said, it's a good deal for anyone looking for the burn-e.

    The question is which battery that one is using as the newer one uses cheaper generic batteries that don't hold up as well as the first gen burn-e.

    Here's a review for this model: https://youtu.be/29LYPKps2nA

    • Sticking a steering dampener on the Zero 10X makes a massive difference at speed. Not recommend obviously but you could have your phone in one hand at speed with one installed. They're really smooth but you do need to change how you steer the scooter.

      Viper 2 is supposed to use the generic Chinese batteries while the Viper 2 Max should be using Panasonic batteries, though it's possible to end up with LG or Samsung.

      • Yeah you definitely need a dampener when you get up to a certain speed. It definitely took a while for me to get used to once I installed mine.

        Glad to hear these have the branded batteries.
