Best Electric Scooters for Hunting: 3 Hand-Tested Models That’ll Up Your Game

While some hunters turn to ATVs or UTVs to save their legs and increase the range of a hunt, the Burn-e 2 is smaller, more maneuverable, and significantly quieter. Based on the formidable NAMI Burn-e 2 Max, this model is its less powerful sibling. The payoff is it’s also significantly less expensive, while still packing enough power to strip bark off a tree.

Its two 72V 1000W motors – which far outweigh the power generated by the 52V or 60V motors typically associated with comparable scooters – can deliver a top speed of 45 mph that not even a grizzly bear could keep up with. What’s more, it accelerates from 0 to 15 mph in a blistering 1.8 seconds and wastes no time in thrumming to 25 mph, either, taking just 3.2 seconds. Bring considerable levels of torque into the equation and you have a scooter that will treat steep inclines as easy prey.

This brute force is kept on a leash by two 30A Sine Wave controllers that smooth the acceleration to prevent you from losing your grip on the deck and flying into the undergrowth. As well as helping you reach those out-of-the-way, prime spots with more speed and stealth, the Burn-e 2’s power ensures that you can remove yourself from any dangerous situations with haste.

But often, those desired spots are way out in the sticks. You’ll therefore want a scooter that has the stamina to match its power – again, the NAMI Burn-e 2 excels. Its titanic 72V 28Ah battery has a maximum range of 90 miles in its locker, or around 50 miles if conditions are a little more challenging. Provided you plan ahead and know the terrain well, you should have no concerns when it comes to relying on this thoroughbred to get you there and back.

Successful hunters can also adapt to their surroundings; here again, the Burn-e 2 will add an extra string to your bow. One particularly useful reason why it’s so well suited to hunting is that it can be modified for the terrain. There are 5 different riding modes, 2 of which can be fully customized to provide the perfect torque, braking, and accelerative power to match the requirements of the local area.

This capability is further sharpened by the KKE hydraulic suspension, which quite frankly is an ingenious feat of engineering. It’s completely adjustable, meaning you can tighten or loosen it to your liking. Consequently, you won’t find yourself bouncing every time you go over a small bump.

Supplementing this are a pair of 11-inch air-filled tubeless tires; there’s also the option to purchase additional no-flat tires that contain an internal layer of slime that flows into a puncture before any air can be lost. Or, if your hunting spot is likely to be strewn in gnarly terrain, the off-road variants will be a better fit.

Hunting requires a lot of equipment, and a lot of equipment usually amounts to a lot of extra weight. Thankfully, the Burn-e 2 has things covered. It comes with a high load-bearing capacity of 330 lbs, which is in no small part down its welded tubular construction. The suspension also allows you to add preload to the springs, meaning you can essentially tailor the system to your weight for an optimal riding experience. This will prove to be an invaluable feature when you’re lugging both your gear and your prize back home.

Factor in the IP55 and IP67 water-resistance ratings, and you have a scooter that’s ready-made for almost any scenario.

You can even control the flow of power to each motor independently, making it easy to handle unforgiving terrain and stable enough to take on mud and gravel. This sense of stability is further enhanced by the expansively wide handlebars that help maintain balance when traversing uneven surfaces.

As for the deck, it’s grippy and spacious, with more than enough room for both your feet in any stance. The large kickplate at the rear gives you even more balance and steering control, too.

On the handlebars, you’ll find the Burn-e 2’s large console. This is a full-color screen that lets you view all your trip data and access the scooter’s customization features. It’s more than bright enough to view in any light, but it doesn’t glow or produce any glare so it’s easy to check your scooter’s vitals while remaining stealthy. There’s also a hidden USB port, which is ideal for plugging in your phone or GPS navigation system.

Other controls include an ergonomic thumb throttle, a horn, and a set of buttons to control the lights. The light system is one of the best you can get and starts with a 2000-lumen headlight to lead the way. There’s also a responsive taillight and a set of turn signals that run along each side of the deck. All of these lights can be precisely controlled or disabled if you need to keep a low profile on an evening hunt.

Weighing in at 100 lbs, this isn’t a very portable scooter, and you won’t be able to carry it very far. However, it does fold down easily, and as long as you have a pickup, you’ll be able to throw it in the back with no problem.

For a scooter with such savage power, strong brakes are key. Yet again, the Burn-e 2 hits the target with an exceptional set of Logan hydraulic 2-piston brakes. This is a high-performing system that will bring you to a complete stop from 15 mph in just 1.8 meters. They’re easy to apply too, with responsive hand levers positioned on either side of the handlebars.

The mic-dropping functionality of this scooter makes it ideal for hunting. Its formidable build quality gives it unbeatable durability, the quiet motors and long-range battery mean that you can stay out all day without animals hearing you coming, and the industry-leading suspension system ensures that you can ride comfortably no matter the environment.

If you’re looking to up your hunting game, the Burn-e 2 is a must-have accessory.
