Max Rider Weight: 330 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYet again, we set our eyes on the top echelons of the electric scooter world to unearth a gem so precious it broke 16 records. It is none other than the new-kid-on-the-block Nami Burn-E.<\/p>\n
NAMI outdid themselves with the release of the Burn-E electric scooter. The record-breaking beast took no time announcing itself amongst powerful electric scooters available. There was no way the Burn-E would miss our list of the best off-road electric scooters of 2022. Here is why:<\/p>\n
The Burn-E runs on a powerful dual system motor peaks at an unbelievable 8400W. Each hub motor has 1500W power output, which, when combined and injected through 50Ah controllers, peaks at the 8400w phenomenal production. What this translates to in terms of speed is equally insane.<\/p>\n
The Burn-E, or “Viper’ as it is popularly called and as shall be referred to for the rest of the article, has a top speed of 60 mph. It is so quick it will get up to 40 mph from 0 in under six seconds. This raw power shows how capable the Viper is when taken off-road.<\/p>\n
A hill test is a good way of gauging the off-road abilities of an electric scooter. How fast and easy an electric scooter tackles an incline will tell you whether it is good to ride off-road.<\/p>\n
One of the 16 records currently held by the Viper is the 10% grade test. Another independent test proved that it is the ultimate hill-climbing champion after making light work of 31.5% grade hill.<\/p>\n
Brakes are equally as important as power when riding off-road. Quality brakes are needed to tame an 8400W marauding viper. The Nami Burn-E features top of the range NUTT hydraulic brakes that work in tandem with regenerative braking to bring the scooter to a halt when needed.<\/p>\n
This brings us to the battery capacity. It has a 72V 35Ah battery that churns out an impressive 90-mile range on a single charge. As you all know by now, the range will depend on several variables. The Viper will cover 54 miles on a single charge, even at its highest setting.<\/p>\n
Another crucial off-road parameter is the overall build quality of an e scooter. The Viper is as sturdy and sophisticated as they come. The centrepiece is, by no doubt, the carbon fibre stem. Other than offering rigidity, it assures the customer no money was spared in the making of the Burn-E.<\/p>\n
The aviation-grade aluminium frame is durable and firm enough to withstand rides on any imaginable off-road terrain. Components are either screwed, bolted or fitted firmly to prevent any noises while riding.<\/p>\n
The deck is wide and long enough to accommodate riders’ feet and still leave some space. Although the deck has grip strips instead of a grip mat, the extra space allows for stable standing positions.<\/p>\n
The Nami Burn-E comes with road tyres as stock. They are the standard air-filled 11-inch tyres. While they will get through relatively rough terrain paths, you will still need to invest in proper off-road tyres if you wish to ride off-road.<\/p>\n
The suspension system is the Burn-E’s saving grace, given its lack of off-road tyres. They are a pair of industry-leading adjustable hydraulic coil shocks. The adjustability option lets you decide how firm or soft your ride is. It massively improves the ride quality over every terrain but majorly on uneven terrain.<\/p>\n
We don’t expect the Nami Burn-E to be cheap with premium features. The \u00a33200 price tag is deserved considering what you get in return.<\/p>\n

Last on our list but in no way the last consideration for the best electric off-road scooter for 2022 is the Uberscoot 1600W 48V. Right off the bat, you can tell what you are dealing with. A 48V battery powers an electric scooter running on a 1600W motor. But the name doesn’t say how balanced and calculated this electric scooter is.<\/p>\n
Sticking with the tradition, we first dissect the scooter’s performance on speed and acceleration. While these attributes do not matter when riding off-road, they help gauge the scooter’s performance across various terrains. As the name implies, it has a 1600W chain-driven brushless motor fitted to the rear tyre. As a result, the scooter attains a top speed of 30 mph.<\/p>\n
Many would expect a better top speed given the power output, but that would be missing the bigger picture. Electric scooters struggle with a 25% grade incline with better power output. A case in point is the Apollo Ghost.<\/p>\n
The Uberscoot 1600W 48V electric scooter cleverly balances its power to enable it to conquer 30 degree inclines with ease. When you visualise off-road terrain, a mountain path is one of the pictures that comes to your mind. Do you now see why the hill-climbing ability of scooters matters?<\/p>\n
A top speed of 30 mph is fast enough to require a braking system to match. Impressive enough, the Uberscoot has 140mm dual disc brakes that are super responsive. A clever feature also cuts power to the wheels whenever the brake lever is depressed. So if you are going down a mountain path, rest assured this braking system will keep you from tumbling.<\/p>\n
Again we know the 1600W motor draws its power from a 48V SLA battery, but we don’t know what the battery offers. This is an SLA battery rather than a Lithium-Ion battery, which means more power drain will be. As a result, the Uberscoot has a dismal maximum range of only 12 miles per single charge.<\/p>\n
The most compelling reason the Uberscoot 1600W 48V scooter made this list is the built quality. If it had an inconspicuous name, you would mistake it for a top-level electric scooter. The design is beefy and epitomises what an off-road electric scooter should resemble. The frame is made of steel and should withstand shocks from rough terrains. The overall built quality is durable and firm enough to handle any terrain.<\/p>\n
The deck is rigid and spacious, considering this is a mid-level electric scooter. It offers ample space in standing and seating positions. You heard that right; this scooter comes with a detachable seat. It is draped in plastic rather than the preferred rubber material.<\/p>\n
The beefy 11-inch pneumatic knobby tyres are why this scooter is featured in this off-road list. It makes the scooter look fierce, but it offers tons of grip and a smooth ride on bumpy surfaces.<\/p>\n
The Uberscoot 1600W 48V electric scooter is way over its head with a suspension system that would go into any top-level electric scooter. It has a front Cam-link suspension and a rear twin shock suspension for a silky-smooth ride.<\/p>\n
At only \u00a3600, the Uberscoot 1600W 48V electric scooter is an absolute bargain!<\/p>\n

<\/span>A Quick Guide To Buying The Best Off-Road Electric Scooter<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off”]At this point, you should have a good idea of what you want from an off-road electric scooter. This section covers a few lead questions that will help you pick the best scooters for off-roading[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_letter_spacing=”1px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”25px” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n
<\/span>What should I look for in an electric off-road scooter?<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off”]The best answer to this question would be when you find a solution to why you need an electric off-road scooter in the first place. Do you need it for recreational purposes, work, or daily commute?<\/p>\n
If you need a scooter for fun purposes, go with whichever one you can afford. For work or daily commute, consider an electric scooter that is easy on your pocket, durable, has a good battery life, loads of safety features, and can handle the terrain in your location with ease.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_letter_spacing=”1px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”25px” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n
<\/span>What are the best brakes for off-road scooters?<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off”]The best brakes for an off-road electric scooter are hydraulic disc brakes. They are very effective when compared to the likes of drum brakes or mechanical-disc brakes. With a hydraulic disc brake, you get an instant reaction when pressing the lever. Responsive brakes offer a better experience off-road in terms of comfort and safety.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_letter_spacing=”1px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”25px” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n
<\/span>What tyres do I need?<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off”]We have seen reputable manufacturers send out top-range scooters with road tyres rather than off-road tyres throughout this article. They do this to cut production costs and make the electric scooter affordable.<\/p>\n
The best tyres for an off-road electric scooter would be a beefy, knobby pneumatic tyre, but this is subjective. The one rule that applies across the board is to make sure your tyres are inflatable. Whether to go for a knobby off-road tyre or the regular tyre will depend on the terrain you intend to use the scooter on. Knobby tyres will perform well in large loose rocks and steep inclines but will compromise on speed.<\/p>\n
Additionally, knobby tyres tend to be very noisy on paved surfaces. On the other hand, normal road tyres will also work on terrains such as grass, dirt roads, and even surfaces. At the same time, road tyres will struggle in wet, muddy or steep areas.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_letter_spacing=”1px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_font_size=”25px” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n
<\/span>What about suspension?<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off”]Suspensions are a must-have if you want an off-road electric scooter. There are different types of suspensions, with the common ones being hydraulic and spring suspension systems.<\/p>\n
In truth, the differences in ride quality offered by the different suspension systems are mild and barely noticeable. Additionally, suspensions are parts that will need repairs or replacement at one time or another.<\/p>\n
This makes it a good idea to factor in the cost and availability of the suspension system you are considering. Still, on this, consider your terrain to avoid spending cash on a scooter you may not ride.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
