Nami Burn-E 2 Max vs Klima: Tested Numbers and Rivals
Nami Burn-E 2 Max or Klima: two very different Namis
Nami builds some of the most distinctive performance scooters on the market, and two models sit at opposite ends of its range. The Burn-E 2 Max is the flagship, a 47 kg dual-motor machine with a claimed 96 km/h and a battery bigger than most e-bikes carry. The Klima is the sensible sibling: roughly two thirds of the weight, a 1,500 Wh pack and a price that is closer to the premium commuters. This comparison uses independent test numbers from EScooterNerds where they exist and flags every figure that comes from a seller. We have not ridden either scooter ourselves.
The Max is a machine you grow into, the Klima is one you can ride on the first day.

Burn-E 2 Max: the long-range monster
EScooterNerds ranks the Max first in its price class, with top marks for speed, range and brakes. Third-party tests logged 96 km/h, between 132 and 146 km of range, a 5 m braking distance and about 3 seconds from 0 to 40 km/h. The weight limit is claimed at 150 kg, although the testers weighed 92 to 98 kg.
The price of that performance is bulk. At 46.7 kg and with handlebars that do not fold, it takes up to a minute to fold and it is not a scooter you carry upstairs. The review also lists a steep learning curve with a complicated menu, an uncomfortable integrated footrest, possible speedometer and mileage glitches on some series, and standard street tires that are less comfortable off-road. Range drops to around 80 km at higher speeds. The sources also disagree on water protection: the spec sheet says IP67, while the text says the frame is IP55 and only the display, controllers and connectors are IP67. Treat it as splash-proof, not waterproof.
Klima: the one you can live with
The Klima keeps the Nami build quality and the 165 mm suspension in a lighter, simpler package. EScooterNerds scores it 84, with the best marks for brakes (96) and suspension (91). Tests gave 65 km/h and 70 km of range, a 6 m braking distance and a 60 m hill climbed in 7.7 seconds. Reviewers praise the acceleration, the low maintenance and the build quality.
It is still not a casual scooter. The same review calls it not very portable, not the cheapest and not beginner-friendly. At about 36 kg it is a one-person lift only for short distances, and charging takes about 6 hours. In Europe, check the exact listing: one EU shop sells the Klima limited to 25 km/h, with a design speed of 65 km/h.
Rivals worth pricing
| Scooter | Price | Power | Claimed top speed | Claimed range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nami Burn-E 2 Max | $3,899 | 8,400 W peak | 96.6 km/h | 145 km |
| Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro | About $3,600 | Similar to the Max | Similar to the Max | 120 km |
| Kaabo Wolf King | About $2,999 | Dual motors | 96.5 km/h | 80 km |
| Dualtron X2 | About $6,500 | Dual BLDC | 109 km/h | 150 km |
The prices in this table come from EScooterNerds and are US figures. The Wolf King GT Pro is the closest rival to the Max: EScooterNerds says it has better range and suspension than the base Wolf King and costs roughly $300 less than the Nami. The Dualtron X2 is faster and goes a little further, with 13 in tires that suit off-road riding, but it costs about $2,600 more. The base Wolf King is the cheaper way into the same speed class, with about half of the Max's range.
What you pay per watt-hour
Using our own arithmetic on the prices below: the Klima at €2,499 and 1,500 Wh is about €1.67 per Wh. The Max at the low end of the Fat Daddy range, €3,399, and 2,304 Wh is about €1.48, rising to about €1.87 at €4,299. In the US, the Klima at $2,299 is about $1.53 per Wh and the Max at $3,899 is about $1.69. Tested consumption also favors the Max: 2,304 Wh over 140 km is about 16 Wh per km, against about 21 Wh per km for the Klima (1,500 Wh over 70 km). Prices in euros and dollars are not directly comparable, but the big pack is the more efficient way to buy range.
Who each one suits
The Max suits experienced riders who want real speed and a range that covers a week of commuting, and who accept the weight, the menus and the price. The Klima suits riders who want Nami's brakes and suspension without the bulk and who are happy with 65 km/h and about 70 km. If your priority is price alone, the Wolf King family undercuts both. If you live in a flat or on an upper floor with no lift, none of these is easy to carry, so measure your stairs first.
