3rd party specifications (and components within)
Steven Chan at NAMI Electric Scooters Worldwide Group has put together a table showing the different models of Burn-E sold so far. eSN added in narrow font adjacent to battery capacity (Australian region product names) Controller nameplate and older/newer waterproof motor connector and also note the 28Ah model should be 2 x 1,000W motor (not marked up).
Known / common issues.
A handy reference from Steven Chan at NAMI Electric Scooters Worldwide Group showing known issues. This reference helps troubleshooting common problems (approx. 50%), most have a resolution pathway that is well known and documented on various Facebook groups. This extract from Jan 2024 remains current September 2024. It is not a complete, exhaustive list of all known common issues.
FAQ's from NAMI Electric Scooters Worldwide Group (featured):
Klima Brake Sensor Issue
Stuck Brake Sensor issue applies to Klima if built with old rear tail light (led strip). Often resolved by uplifting to NAMI Tail Light.
Error codes from Burn-e user manual.
Guidance for steps to resolve errors arising from error codes:
From Jonathan Bernabe in response to 301 error discussion potentially provided by a regional distributor.
Troubleshooting Flowcharts from Steven Chan. Two examples shown below, these can often be intermittent and challenging to resolve, pathways are not exhaustive but a good start.
201/202 (Motor error)
301/302 (Communication error)
Regarding 301/302 (communication) errors, all but the oldest of NAMI controllers feature a black single-core medium gauge cable with a bullet connector. This interconnects the two controllers to form a good earth, preventing harmonic distortion and potential voltage, which can introduce 30x errors. Typically, controllers with this interconnect need to co-reside with another with the same earthing interconnect so they are grounded. Co-existing a newer controller with an older without can throw 30x (communication) errors. Two without tend to be OK. It is also observed that often power needs be isolated from both controllers after disconnecting of any controller cables. Assumed there is some initial start-up auto-calibration which may be influenced on the grounding interconnect. Additionally, 301/302 errors can be "burnt" into the dashboard and persist, even when there are no conditions present to warrant the error. While renewing dashboard is often a first troubleshooting step, doing this may inadvertently render the replacement dashboard to throw and persist 301/302 error, rendering replacement inoperable. A better approach would be to fit a 301/302 dashboard into a known, good working scooter to test, in conjunction with renewing the root cause component that initiated the error (which could be Dashboard, controller, motor etc). Some other considerations for 30x errors are discussed here.
The long and short is that it's good practice to isolate the controllers from the battery just prior to testing any renewal or reconnection and be mindful Dashboard can persist 301/302.

It is understood E brake strength does not vary, regardless of level 1-5 setting. 0 is none, 1-5 is on, there is no weak to strong. It is believed this is by design to prevent excessive regen and associated increase in voltage.

Wiring diagrams
This factory diagram was translated to English and subsequently re-rendered by Brobic Vripiat 3rd April 2022:
The diagram shows the older 5-pin light and horn switch connector ("Switch Cluster") which subsequently progressed to 6-pin with the introduced centre pin being +ve.
Main Cable Diagrams for Upper (Longer) for NFC and optional Front Turn Signal (shown in first image #1) and Lower (Shorter #2) - Dual light connector version (shown in second image).
Contrasted to diagram above, the upper cable introduces the 6-pin light and horn switch connector (rather than 5-pin), along with connectors for NFC reader and front turn signal. Page 2 shows the shorter main cable that has two 5-pin connectors for concurrent rear tail light and battery led strip.
Pinouts for connectors are shown as viewed from connector rear (i.e. as if you were forming wire connectors to the pins on the back of the connector).
Note designations on these diagram are ambiguous whereby M = Female, G = Male. For avoidance of doubt, reference the drawing plug shape.
