Hi Ivan
I just wanted to thank you for what you do. I have been driving around NYC for over 30 years. I know all the short cuts and different neighborhoods as well as so called back roads. A friend with a bad back gave me his scooter. I had it for about a month doing nothing with it. I came across your channel and got inspired to try it. I have been riding my scooter ever since loving it. Like you said it is therapeutic, I have been a social worker for over 25 years and riding to work like you do, I find it very therapeutic. I love figuring out different routes and usually take the long way for the ride. I also like using my knowledge of the city to get to my destination on the scooter. I have a Kukirin GMax2. I have developed my skills on it. I follow all your post and gain knowledge and Insite now that I am part of the E-scooter community.
As I mentioned I have a Kukirin G2MAX. I think it’s great, however I feel ready to purchase my first high performance scooter. Thanks to you I have settled on the NAMI Blast MAX. I am saving up for it and should be able to purchase it by the end of September. I plan on riding everywhere however I wanted your advice on security precautions for locking it up on trips. I plan on using a kryptonite lock and disc lock. Obviously, I will never leave it outside overnight but wanted your advice for locking up such an investment outside for an hour or two. Also, what are your honest views on the NAMI Blast Max.
Once again thank you for what you do and your inspiring channel on youtube. I hope to meet you one day or get some more knowledge and insight on scootering around the city. God Bles and be safe out there.
Riding is a form of therapy fr
Thanks for watching the video! 100%. Nothing beats chilling by yourself on an open stretch of road!
Great content!
thanks for joining us for this ride as well! This was a fun commute!
Hello i'm from french, i look every single of your nami scooter i very like it continue please !
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
Nice vid as always Ivan. Down with the calm morning commute. Sometimes I get that while going to work into Manhattan, sometimes I don't. It can be tough in the city tho, as I have to contend with a lot of what you face. My pet peeve is aggressive bikers that go over 30 mph on the bike lanes cuz they are in marathon mode. That's fine on clear, open streets...but not cool during rush hour. Stuff like that make me ride in the streets...cuz cars tend to be more predictable.
Thanks for watching, always appreciate the support! That’s the thing with commuting in the city. Some days it’s amazing, there are some days that just get on your nerves lol. Yea, bikers and mopeds get on my last nerve. The moped guys are just reckless and they’re gonna kill someone on those narrow ass bike lanes. But the bikers… I’m not sure what they have to prove but they always cut you off, always act like they’re racing you, and the spandex guys act like they’re racing in the Tour de France… The other thing that gets on my nerves are the PEV guys blasting it and ducking in weaving doing 40 in the bike lane in full power rangers armor in rush hour. It’s like, stick to the roads if you’re gonna do things like that, they’re making us all look bad…
Btw, do you change your modes depending where you’re riding or do you stay on mode 5 the whole time?
@@eyebahnrides Aw man, I can go on for days about all those points! Love riding my escooter, wouldn't give it up. BUT I can live without the (gas) mopeds jumping into the bike lanes whenever it's convenient for them, and the bikers (esp. the spandex guys) cutting everyone off including cars trying to win some race lol. Surprisingly I don't run into other high powered PEV riders on my commute to work. Could just be my route, but I see them more on the weekends. But I know what you mean, some of them tear up the bike lane going 40 mph, making us look bad. I keep it to 20 mph on the bike lanes as best as I can, but will go over when keeping up with traffic in the streets, or if the bike lane is completely empty.
As for switching modes, I don't do it much. For my Phantom I have 4 levels, and generally keep it on level 2, which'll get me tops 30 mph. This is good for commuting during rush hour and riding either in the bike lanes or in the street on the fly with moderate power. I'll switch it to level 3 (max 37 mph) in certain areas in my neighborhood when cars are flying on long streets that have no pedestrians, or if I need extra power fast to pass someone slow on streets that are busy. I rarely use my 4th level (Ludo mode), its dumb fast going over 40 mph, but it drains the battery too quickly. If I had a Nami tho, I might keep it on the highest setting not worried about my battery going empty.
I really dig the route that goes under the tracks. Makes for a really visually cool ride
Thanks for watching! Yea, it's definitely a cool route. I can't believe it took me this long to do it lol
Love the apocalyptic views you captured of the NYC skyline. There was a double rainbow on this day too after the storm. This city never fails at having extremely bipolar weather and views.
Thanks Kahn. Yea, man the weather has been extra bipolar this year. I used to take the train when the weather got this bad but I'd rather take my chances on the road now. I'm betting on the 50% that the forecast will be clear lol. Did you ride out on these days?
@@eyebahnrides I rode yesterday a few miles in the pouring rain on my emove to run some errands. Not fun at all but I had a raincoat and boots on
Seeing this makes me miss riding to work.
Hopefully, you can get back on the scooter soon 🙏🏼. I’m hoping the city comes up with a way to accommodate us with this whole Local Law push for a greener city with low emissions
I do have a Lot interest of riding my scooter on Eco mode only because I have more interest of long-range and enjoying my outside environment fresh air. Just chilling out with the scooter😀 have a safe one eyebahn .
Thanks for watching Ralph, there are times I do this too! It can be stressful to "try and go fast" all the time so it's nice to just chill and enjoy what's going on around you. Ride safe!
@@eyebahnrides no problem eyebahn I try my best to support whenever there opportunity for others to be honest I should be making my own video but I prefer to watch others for now. 😃 stay safe I think tomorrow I’ll be riding my scooter. And leave my car parked.
Yeah but eco mode it takes forever to gain/ pickup speed to 25km can U change this lol?
Ivan, that is a great idea for a video.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the different route and the craziness of the rain lol
😲 Nami Blast Max , Amazing Performance

Nice ride Ivan at first until, you had to woo sahhh 😅 not to mention that you are brave for riding in the rain. Those roads mixed with those wet leaves are my worst enemy. Good to see the content not to mention the drip effect looks cool. Thanks again bro enjoy your day.
Thanks for watching Domingo! Yeaaa, that idiot of a driver along with all the shenanigans was really testing my patience that day lol. I’m not looking forward to these wet fall rides coming up… I’ve seen so many crashes and slips this year on regular road conditions, I can’t even imagine what’s waiting for us this season 🤡
Excellent sightseeing thanks🎉
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I'm glad you enjoyed the craziness of NYC lol
Eyy man!
Can you have a episode for you accessories, helmet, body armor etc.
Thanks.
New subscriber here 😊
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Mark & Melody! That video topic has been on my list for a while now and I have to definitely do it 😂. My goal is to work that in to the content schedule sometime in the next 2 months 🙏🏼
Man, I've only rode my VSett 10 in damp conditions a couple of times, and that was in single motor, P12 set at 1.
Riding that monster, nah.😅
Great video as always, bud. Good to see your channel getting subs.
Thanks for watching Terry, glad to see you back in the comments section! I'm glad I turned down the power on this beast of a scooter because that front end would've been sliding around! The pull on this thing is pretty crazy!
I prefer chill rides. In NYC, it would be in anyone’s best interest to chill on the speed. I only max the throttle in Florida. NO traffic, palm trees. 😂 great video brother
Facts. You have to be chill and defensive here in the city. As you can tell, I won't do a full send unless I can see that the roads are open and I can see what's coming so that I have time to react. I'm going to Florida in the Spring so I'm hoping to get some riding in while I'm there!
u shipping ur scooter ?
@@eyebahnrides
Woo sah!! 🙏🏽 lol amazing video Ivan, love watching your videos every week. Is that body armor what you use during the winter?
Thanks for your support Ronak, I appreciate ya! I’m glad you’re continuing to enjoy the videos 🙏🏼. The morning portion of this ride was really testing my patience 😂.
I wear this body armor with a Uniqlo ultra lightweight down jacket until the late fall. I also rotate out between a armored hoodie and my armored lazy rolling jacket. If it’s really cold I just wear heavy duty winter jacket with elbow pads and ride conservatively. I can’t believe the cold season is upon us already 😅😅😅
I don't live in the city, but the bridge route gives me a heart attack XD They way you zoom pass the riders that keep to the middle of the bike path is brave. My brain is always hoping they don't make a sudden turn in your direction, lol.
But yeah, I'm a Klima owner starting today after upgrading from my Emove Cruiser (2000+ miles). Haven't had this much fun in a while.
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Dee! First, congratulations on the Klima! It's an amazing scooter and one that I might be downsizing to in the future. I really enjoyed my time on it and wouldn't even mind switching to it.
Lol, the crazy thing about this route is it get's even more congested when the weather is really nice. I can't even filter my way through because there's so many pedestrians and bikes! That's one of the reasons I never honk my horn and I do a very gentle overtake. I don't trust anyone on the road to behave normally so I'm always riding very defensively.
Have you ridden in the city before?
@@eyebahnrides Thanks! It was thanks to you and RK9 Rides that convinced me on the purchase, so thank you for your video.
As for the question: I'd be very wary to try riding in the city tbh. Downtown Miami's roads tend to be very closed in and narrow with a bit too much blindspots for my liking. But escooters are pretty popular with the rentals and all, so I'm guessing it's not too bad in practice compared to NYC.
@@dndhydrate ohhh, I heard from a few friends that have ridden in Miami that the congestion is pretty bad because the drivers, pedestrians, and alternative transpo users aren't very aware of whats going on around them and tend to move erraticly
Why does it feel like it has been forever since we've been this way??? Oh, and bro... you know we live and ride in controlled chaos at all times, just like in a restaurant kitchen. But we always love it otherwise we wouldn't do it. Excellent to and from work ride. Smart choice with the camera choice to be safe.
Ride That Tasty Wave
Thanks for watching Weldon! Yea man, we haven't been on this route since earlier this year and when the channel was still relatively new. It was a little nostalgic lol. These cameras are so expensive that it stressed me out quite a bit. I'm glad that I keep the port doors shut on the second camera just incase things like this happen lol. I'm actually looking into another camera and thinking of selling one of the ones I use but we'll save that for a different day lol.
Yeaaaa, its chaos lol... pure chaos!
@eyebahnrides oh snap... we got secrets fixin to be revealed soon?!
Ride That Tasty Wave
@@theweldonator hahaha maybe sir, nothing is really certan!
Must be wonderful.
It was definitely a good time with the scooter! It was nice to send it on the other video and try to cruise with it in the rain in this one 😅
You ready for the storms this weekend Eyebahn. Did a quick run today to my son's school and back. Kids love the side panels (highschool). Do you think the scooter is better suited then the Super73 for these conditions? Maryland is going to get drenched with rain from the tropical storm. Would Rain-X help with the shield on your helmet?
Thanks for watching! I'm definitely not ready for the storms coming this weekend. I know we're about to get hammered and i don't usually ride if I know it's going to be pouring. Since the ebike companies never really give you an IP rating, I think the scooters are better for these types of conditions. I know that the Nami's displays, controls, internals and motors are IP55 so I'm quite confident riding it in these kinds of conditions. It's also much easier to clean because I can just hose it down. That's one of the biggest reasons that my scooter is still my primary form of transportation even though I have the S73 and the esk8.
I haven't tried the Rain X. It should definitely help!
Hi thanks for the video! What are the acceleration times of the scooter from 0-15, 0-30, and 0-40? Oh and what is the best helmet you recommend under $100?
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the Channel! Unfortunately, I don’t have the acceleration times since I don’t have a device for that yet. Eventually, I do plan to purchase as Dragy for the Channel but I have to prioritize a few other things.
As for helmets under 100, I hear a lot of good things from my friends here in the NYC community about ILM. I got a LS2 helmet for a little over $100 when they went on sale at Revzilla.
Wish I had a better response for you but I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides Yes it does. Thanks.
💯‼️💙
Thanks for watching Dave!
Ivan, I know your videos are about the rides and everything involved on it, but, could you, before or after, shot pictures or a little footage of the scooter you are going to ride for the day? Like, "this is my scooter, I put this, and that, I am using this, links in the description if you want to buy the same..."
Hmm.. let me see if there's a way to integrate that type of intro into the video. I tried something like that a few times before and I could see in the analytics that people would tune out of the video all together instead of skipping through it. That's why I just do the suiting up sequence when i do the "Full Ride videos" . I think I'd be able to work that into the "Vlog" videos in the future.
I'm hoping that I can eventually make more than one video a week because there are a few things that I'd like to do but don't have time to because of how long my work hours are. Eventually I hope to add BTS Vlogs, Reviews, a new series/interviews, more group rides, and new locations to ride. That would allow me to be more creative in the future.
@@eyebahnridesthank you for replying. We love your videos, you have a great talent for it. Even without scripts you make them so entertainment and useful. Bring it on.
I got my Friday AM "Frogger" fix, thanks! 😆
Those green bike lanes (painted?) look like they could be slick when wet, are they?
😂😂😂 NYC is the Netflix live action adaptation of Frogger 🐸. Yup, the bike lanes are painted and can be quite slick if you’re accelerating hard, stopping hard, and or making sudden turns! That’s why I had to turn down the motors because I didn’t want the front end to slide out. I’ve see. Too many accidents related to dual motor and the front end doing what ever it wants lol
@@eyebahnrides I'm kind of surprised they paint them knowing they become slick when wet. Sounds like they would've been better off painting a green line on either side , rather than paint the entire thing, lol!
I got done working this afternoon and took the esk8 down to the beach knowing this weekend looks like a windy washout. I used the Ride app for the first time. I got three miles into the ride and got a flat in the rear. I stood on the front and did a slow ride back and switched to the 120mm Cloud Wheels. I did another 14 miles and called it a evening when my left/back knee started bothering me (normal for me after a lot of riding). I was worried about the street wheels kicking out as there's some random light sand scattered along the beaches where I was riding, but they held very well when I was carving hard at decent speeds (15-20 mph), these wheels really impress me. Not quite as smooth as the 150mm Hota AT's, but very respectable and no worries about getting a flat miles into a ride either!
I Nami blast max at fluid fluid but they said they don't care yet
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel! I think the Blast Max is a demo model they have at the FFR BK Shop but they don't have one for sale yet. You could check in with them to see when they'll have it available. Ask for Chuck and he'll help you out
What locks do you use? Do you lock at work? How many people scooter or e-bike to work? Keep the videos coming 😃👍🏻
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Jen! Luckily, I don’t have to bring a lock to work because the bike room is under surveillance and behind security. When I have to leave my PEVs outside for any reason I use a heavy duty lock and chain because things get stolen in seconds here in NYC!
This is what I use: Kryptonite New York FAHGETTABOUDIT 1410 Bike Chain Lock, 3.28 Feet Long 14mm Steel Chain Heavy Duty Anti-Theft Bicycle Chain Lock.
Compared to the number of occupants in our office building not that many. However, the bike room is always at capacity when the weather is nice. I would probably say almost 20 e-bikes and escooters can be found in our bike room when at capacity (not including regular bikes!). On average, we have about 6-15.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! Thank you for the kind word 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@eyebahnrides Thank you for replying. I am originally from Orange County NY. I was just up in NYC last month. Saw a Yankees game. And did the Freedom -Tower 9/11 Memorial.
what is your helmet my dear?
The single arm of the Blast Max is not likely to pose a problem later?
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel OG. The helmet I generally wear is the TSG Pass Pro.
As for the inverted swingarm, I don't see it causing problems more than a standard C swingarm that we see on regular scooters. I'm also not an engineer so keep in mind this is just my opinion as a PEV enthusiast lol
I am seriously not sure which one to buy, the Klima Max or the Blast Max. The store I'd goto doesn't sell the base versions. I don't technically need the speed, but I want the range. Is the extra $1000 worth the extra 10Ah the Blast max gives? Other things besides the battery too are the increased tire size and stuff like that.
1000 will get you 30ah of amazing samsung 50s 21700 batteries ! Buttt you'll have to build the pack!
@@VmaxfodderYou mean to keep as a spare battery pack? As in saying I should just go for the Klima?
@Masters-rc9sc that depends on your habits vs. Needs . I think everyone should definitely find great sourced batteries for sure ,or build your own . They use junk Batteries, and fake nickel plated iron strips ? That could lead to easy mega fires 🔥 ! A small trust worthy battery is worth more than thousands of huge capacity junk builds ! . Demand quality builds . I made a pack with JK bms, and LG m50lt ,and am totally happy with the self balance built inside . What ever you decide? Ride safe !
The blast max is a bit closer to the the BurnE2 Max while the Klima Max is closer to the Klima but with more range and the brand name battery pack. In my opinion, the range seems to be about the same. The larger motors/ higher draw of the controllers and the higher speeds of the Blast max pull more from the batteries than the smaller Klima. If range, comfort and a nimble ride in a smaller form factor is a priority, I would go Klima. If you want that insane pull, unique design, track/muscle car feel, and need the 50+ mph for the roads around you go with the blast max.
I had time with the base Klima and I think I used up the less battery on my long range high speed ride compared to the ride I did the blast max! However, I was cruising at 45-53 mph with the cars on the Blast Max instead of 37-41 on the Klima Base. Both are also very stable at speed where you won’t even need a damper.
The ride also felt relatively similar even tho the Klima has smaller tires. The really stiff suspension of the BM made it pretty bumpy on rough roads.
I hope this helps! As always, I suggest getting on the demo scooters if it’s possible because one will definitely call to you more when you’re on it. If I decide downsize from the gen 1 Burn E, I’m still leaning towards the Klima Max even though the blast was insanely fun.
@@eyebahnrides Ya I had been thinking the increased size would cut down on mileage. Also, I don't see myself going max speed even on the Klima, Max I might go is 50km/h, which is about 32mp/h. I might go to max speed on the Klima on occasion, but I would NEVER touch the max speed on the Blast. The only other thing I really liked about the blast is the deck size. But ya, I guess all in all, the extra grand isn't worth it. Thanks.
Oh yea, NEVER trust the weather in NYC.
It's all a sham lol.
I'm enjoying your videos and seeing some of the city scenes in your part of the world. I can 'feel' the rain - I've had a couple of very wet rides myself on my Nami Burn-E 2 Viper. (70 year old who enjoys commuting to golf each day plus scooting around the course - about a 22 km daily round trip). Here is the end of my wettest ride so far as I arrive home - at least I had some wet weather gear on... ruclips.net/video/0_KJRdou7DA/видео.html
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Gregg! Apologies for the delayed response. Back to back illness wiped me out for a while and I'm finally getting back to work and finally catching up here on RUclips.
I'm glad you've been enjoying the sights on the channel. My goal original goal was to share an in the trenches perspective of NYC since most people only really get to see the "aerial glamour b-roll footage" of it. That's an incredible roundtrip you have, glad to see you enjoying the E2 in that way! I'll check it out the video after I finish catching up on all the comments and finish uploading the video for tomorrow!
Because of this ride and the Klima ride, I now carry extra rain gear with me in my bag anytime I see clouds in the forecast lol.
