Fast Answer for Busy Riders ⚡ (TL;DR)
The MUKUTA 9 Plus is the better all-rounder for most riders: it's more practical to live with, easier on the wallet per feature, and its removable battery alone is a lifestyle upgrade that the NAMI simply cannot match. It still hits hard in acceleration, feels seriously planted, and makes daily commuting feel like play, not punishment.
The NAMI Super Stellar, on the other hand, is for riders who want a sharper, more serious performance edge - stronger punch, higher cruising speed, more range, and that classic NAMI "silky but savage" power delivery in a compact package. If you prioritise raw performance, premium electronics and higher top-end comfort over clever practicality, the NAMI is your toy... sorry, vehicle.
If you want a fast scooter that doubles as a genuinely convenient urban tool, start with the MUKUTA. If you want a compact mini-hyper that just happens to fold, start with the NAMI. Now let's dig into where each of them really shines - and where they quietly annoy you.
Stick around; the differences are subtle, important, and might save you from buying the wrong beast.
Electric scooters have grown up. We're long past the era of rattly sticks with a motor bolted on; today's "compact performance" class can keep up with traffic, devour hills, and still squeeze into a city flat. That's exactly where the MUKUTA 9 Plus and NAMI Super Stellar go head-to-head - two scooters that share almost the same footprint and wheel size, yet aim at slightly different hearts.
I've put serious kilometres on both: city commutes, late-night blasts, cobbled old-town nonsense, and a few "I really shouldn't be going this fast here" moments. Both machines are properly quick, properly built, and aimed at riders who are done with limp rental scooters and want something that actually feels like a vehicle.
If I had to sum them up in one line each: the MUKUTA 9 Plus is the smart urban weapon for riders who want real power without sacrificing daily practicality, while the NAMI Super Stellar is the compact hooligan for people who secretly wish every commute was a time trial. Curious which one fits your life better? Read on.
Who Are These For, and Why Compare Them?
On paper, these two are obvious sparring partners: both are compact dual-motor scooters on 9-inch tubeless tyres, both weigh around the "you can lift it, but you'll swear about it" mark, and both sit in the upper mid-range price bracket, somewhere just above "sensible commuter" and below "hyper-scooter financial mistake."
The MUKUTA 9 Plus targets the rider who wants a powerful daily machine that solves real-world problems: no lift in your building, tiny flat, need to park in a shed or car boot? That removable battery and folding cockpit scream "I thought about your actual life." It's built as a fast commuter first, toy second.
The NAMI Super Stellar comes from the opposite direction. It's NAMI DNA shrunk down: high-end controllers, beefy welded frame, serious brakes and lighting, with performance that nudges into big-boy territory while still being just about car-boot compatible. It's a performance scooter that happens to be compact, not a compact scooter that happens to be fast.
If your daily use is mostly commuting with some weekend fun, the MUKUTA will feel like the logical grown-up choice. If you view every traffic light as a personal insult, the Super Stellar will speak your language.
Design & Build Quality
Pick them up - or try to - and you immediately feel they're both from the "no compromises" school of construction. There's nothing toy-like about either.
The MUKUTA 9 Plus goes for a more refined "industrial but styled" look: angular chassis, clean deck lines, integrated lighting, and tasteful anodised accents that actually look premium rather than cheap cosplay. The removable battery is neatly integrated into the deck, so at a glance, it still looks like a one-piece scooter, not some Frankenstein with a lunchbox bolted on.
The NAMI Super Stellar is much more unapologetically mechanical. Tubular welded frame, visible welds, exposed hardware - it looks like someone turned a roll cage into a scooter. You stand on it and instantly understand why riders trust it at higher speeds; it feels carved from one chunk of metal. Subtle it is not, but it oozes competence.
In hand, the NAMI wins for sheer chassis solidity - that unibody-style frame feels unshakeable. But the MUKUTA isn't far behind; its stem lock and clamp are rock solid, the deck feels dense and rattle-free, and overall it's closer to "mini tank" than "folding toy." Where the MUKUTA pulls ahead is in day-to-day ergonomics: folding handlebars that actually make it narrow enough for tight hallways, and that battery that unlatches cleanly and locks back in with reassuring precision.
Design philosophy in one sentence: NAMI builds a compact race chassis with utility added after the fact; MUKUTA builds a commuter workhorse and hot-rods it to performance levels.
Ride Comfort & Handling
Both scooters share 9-inch tubeless tyres - which means, compared to 10 or 11-inch cruisers, you're closer to the road and more aware of imperfections. How they suspend that reality is where they diverge.
The MUKUTA uses adjustable torsion suspension front and rear. On the road, it feels very "planted": it soaks up buzz from rough asphalt, manhole lips and cobbles surprisingly well, without that bouncy pogo-stick effect cheap spring systems often have. You get a calm, controlled ride where the scooter settles quickly after bumps, which inspires confidence when you lean it into a corner at... let's say "enthusiastic" speeds.
The NAMI Super Stellar runs adjustable spring shocks with rubber bushings. It's more "plush" out of the box: small chatter just disappears, and bigger hits are handled with a deep, progressive feel. You can tune it to your weight, which is a huge win - heavier riders in particular will appreciate that they can stiffen it to avoid smashing through the travel.
On broken city tarmac, the NAMI feels a touch more luxurious at higher speed, especially if you've dialled in the suspension. On technical urban riding - tight corners, quick lane changes, dodging pedestrians who think bike lanes are footpaths - the MUKUTA's slightly lower stance and very calm rebound make it feel incredibly composed. It's one of those scooters you stop thinking about and just ride.
Deep potholes? Neither loves them; they're still 9-inch wheels. You'll need to scan ahead with both. But after several days of mixed surfaces, I stepped off the MUKUTA feeling a little less fatigued overall. The handling balance and stability are just spot on for the speeds it encourages.
Performance
This is where things get silly, given both of these wear the "compact scooter" label.
The MUKUTA 9 Plus, with its dual motors, doesn't just feel "strong enough" - it properly yanks. In dual-motor mode from a standstill, it has that addictive shove that lets you embarrass cars to the next junction and absolutely annihilate rental scooters. Up to typical urban speeds the acceleration feels immediate and confident, but not wild; the controller tuning is smooth, so even newer riders won't feel like they've mounted a rabid animal.
The NAMI Super Stellar... ups the stakes. With larger nominal motors and proper sine-wave controllers, it delivers more shove and keeps that power coming further up the speedo. Acceleration is both more forceful and silkier. There's no harsh step; instead, it just keeps building and building until you glance down and realise you're at a pace where protective gear stops being "recommended" and becomes "non-negotiable."
Top speed sensation: on the MUKUTA, the upper range already feels brisk on those 9-inch tyres - perfectly adequate for city traffic and secondary roads, and honestly about as fast as I'd want to cruise daily on this wheel size. The NAMI pushes noticeably beyond that; you're into territory where the scooter feels more like a shrunken hyper-scooter than a hot commuter. The chassis and brakes can take it, but mentally you're in a different category of riding.
Hill climbing is a non-issue for either. The MUKUTA shrugs at the sort of climbs that have single-motor commuters wheezing in the bike lane. The NAMI, though, just erases hills. Heavy rider, backpack, brutal gradient - it still pulls like it's on level ground. If you live in a city built by people who clearly hated cyclists, the Super Stellar gives you a little extra smugness on every ascent.
Braking-wise, both are excellent, and that's critical at these speeds. The MUKUTA's dual hydraulics plus regen give a firm, predictable lever feel and short stopping distances. The NAMI's Logan hydraulic setup is genuinely superb - lighter lever feel, stronger initial bite, and a very progressive ramp-up. When you're pushing the higher end of its speed potential, that extra braking sophistication matters.
In simple terms: the MUKUTA is wildly fast for a commuter; the NAMI is approaching "mini hyper" territory. If you rarely ride above typical city limits, the MUKUTA's performance feels perfect. If you want serious headroom and group-ride bragging rights, NAMI has the edge.
Battery & Range
Range claims are, as always, made in the magical land where everyone weighs 60 kg, rides slowly, and never sees a hill. In the real world, here's how they stack up.
The MUKUTA's battery sits in that sweet mid-sized zone: enough juice for a solid day of spirited commuting with dual motors, including some hills, without watching the gauge like a hawk. Ridden hard, you're looking at a comfortable there-and-back daily commute for most people; ride sensibly in single-motor mode and you can stretch it into very respectable distances.
The NAMI simply carries more energy on board. In practice, that means you can ride faster, for longer, without that creeping "do I need to slow down to make it home?" anxiety. On similar mixed routes ridden with similar enthusiasm, I consistently rolled back with more remaining battery on the Super Stellar than on the MUKUTA.
Efficiency is interesting: the MUKUTA is no slouch, and with its slightly lower top-end you're less tempted to sit at battery-sapping speeds. The NAMI's sine-wave controllers do a good job of converting stored energy into motion with minimal waste, but the extra power and higher cruising speed mean you'll probably use more power simply because it's fun.
Where the MUKUTA absolutely lands a knockout is charging logistics. You park the scooter wherever it lives - shed, car boot, downstairs bike room - and just carry the battery inside. No wrestling a dirty 30-plus-kg scooter through stairwells or past white walls. It also makes topping up at work or a friend's place trivial. The NAMI charges conventionally on the scooter: fine if you have ground-floor access and power nearby, considerably less fine if stairs are a constant in your life.
If you want maximum distance per charge, the NAMI wins. If you want a battery system that actually fits apartment life, the MUKUTA is in a league of its own.
Portability & Practicality
Let's be blunt: neither of these is "easy to carry." They're both heavy, solid machines. The difference is how they behave the moment you're not riding them.
The MUKUTA, at a little over the 30 kg mark, feels every gram when you lift it. Carrying it up a long flight of stairs is possible, but you will question your lifestyle choices halfway up. However, the folding handlebars make a huge difference in how easily it slides into cramped car boots, narrow hallways or between furniture. And because the battery comes out, you can split the mass into "scooter" and "battery," which does help if you have to manage steps.
The NAMI is slightly lighter on paper, and that is noticeable when dead-lifting it, but its cockpit doesn't shrink down as neatly as the MUKUTA's. It folds to a compact footprint, yes, but it still feels more like handling a dense frame than a neatly packed commuter device. For throwing into a car boot and rolling short distances, perfectly fine. For regular stair duty, it's still firmly in "gym session" territory.
Day-to-day practicality, though, swings back toward MUKUTA. Need to store the scooter in a shared area but don't trust the world? Take the battery with you - suddenly the scooter is a very heavy, very unattractive decoration to thieves. Need to charge overnight but live in a small flat with expensive floors? Battery comes upstairs, scooter stays where the mud is.
The NAMI counters with better weather protection and a slightly sleeker folded frame, which matters if your storage is tight but powered. If your lifestyle involves minimal lifting and you have ground-level access, the NAMI's portly weight is less of an issue. If stairs, lifts, and tiny city flats are part of the equation, the MUKUTA simply fits real human life better.
Safety
At the speeds both of these can comfortably achieve, safety stops being a spec-sheet checkbox and becomes a genuine survival concern.
Braking: both have hydraulic discs and regen, both stop hard, both are worlds better than cable brakes. The NAMI's Logan system feels that little bit more high-end - lighter lever effort, finer modulation, and tremendous stopping authority when you really need it. The MUKUTA's brakes are still excellent; you can ride it aggressively without ever feeling under-braked. It's just that the NAMI kit feels a touch more "premium motorbike," especially as speeds climb.
Lighting: the MUKUTA has a good, properly aimed headlight and those signature LED "streamer" strips along the stem and deck, plus turn signals. From the side, you're lit up like a rolling Tron prop - which, in traffic, is a very good thing. The NAMI responds with a brutally bright, high-mounted headlight that genuinely lights the road ahead, proper indicators, and a strong brake light. For pure night-riding visibility of what's in front of you, the NAMI has the edge; for being seen from all angles and having visibility baked into the whole silhouette, the MUKUTA puts on a better show.
Stability: both handle speed impressively well for 9-inch scooters. The MUKUTA's torsion suspension and stiff stem lock give it a confidence-inspiring plantedness up to its top end; wobbles simply aren't a thing if your tyres are properly inflated. The NAMI's one-piece frame feels bomb-proof when you're really pushing; even under hard braking, there's no unnerving flex or twist.
Tires: tubeless on both, which is exactly what you want at this class - better puncture resistance, no sudden pinch flats. The MUKUTA adds self-healing gel, which is a nice little detail for urban debris. Grip feels comparable; if you crash either of these in the dry, it will almost certainly be your fault, not theirs.
Overall, the NAMI leans slightly more toward "serious high-speed safety package," while the MUKUTA is outstandingly safe within its more sensible speed window and makes you wonderfully visible to everyone else on the road.

Price & Value
Both scooters sit in the "serious purchase" bracket rather than impulse-buy territory. They're clustered close in price, with the NAMI typically asking a little more.
The MUKUTA 9 Plus gives you dual motors, a stout chassis, hydraulic brakes, robust suspension, NFC lock, strong lighting, and - uniquely - a removable battery, while still undercutting many similarly specced rivals. In terms of "what do I actually get for my money?", it's one of the easiest scooters to recommend in this segment. You feel like you're paying for engineering and thoughtful design, not marketing fluff.
The NAMI Super Stellar charges extra for higher-end components and more performance: more powerful motors, bigger battery, better controllers, and a welded frame from a premium brand. If you're the sort of rider who will use that extra speed and range regularly, the extra spend makes sense. If you're not, a slice of that performance premium is wasted on you.
Long-term, both should hold value decently, but the NAMI badge carries strong enthusiast recognition, while the MUKUTA counters with massively practical features and broad appeal. For pure bang-for-buck for most urban riders, the MUKUTA edges ahead.
Service & Parts Availability
MUKUTA benefits from being part of the same manufacturing ecosystem that gave us the Zero and Vsett lines, so parts and knowledge are fairly well spread among European distributors. Controllers, tyres, brake parts - none of it is exotic. The only thing you'll want to plan ahead on is those specific 9-inch tubeless tyres, which aren't as ubiquitous as 10-inch, but that's true for both scooters.
NAMI, meanwhile, has built up a strong global network very quickly thanks to the Burn-E's success. In Europe especially, you'll find multiple dealers and service partners who know the platform, stock Logan brake parts and carry spares. The Super Stellar shares plenty of DNA and components with its bigger siblings, which helps.
In practice, serviceability is strong on both, with perhaps a slight edge to NAMI in terms of brand-specific expertise and community documentation, and a slight edge to MUKUTA in terms of using more "standardised" mass-market parts. Either way, you're not buying an orphan.

Final Verdict - Which Should You Choose?
Both the MUKUTA 9 Plus and NAMI Super Stellar are excellent scooters; choosing between them isn't about "good vs bad," it's about "which flavour of excellent suits your life." After living with both, the scooter I'd recommend to most riders - and the one I'd happily park at the bottom of my stairs every day - is the MUKUTA 9 Plus.
It hits that golden balance: properly rapid, comfortable, confidence-inspiring, yet still tremendously practical to own. The removable battery changes how easy it is to integrate into apartment life, the folding cockpit makes storage painless, and the performance is more than enough to make every commute feel like a reward. It feels like a complete product, clearly designed around the reality of urban living.
The NAMI Super Stellar absolutely deserves its place, though. If you're the kind of rider who wants more - more speed, more torque, more range, more "NAMI feel" - and you have the storage and access to treat it like a small motorcycle rather than a carry-up-the-stairs device, it's a brilliant compact powerhouse. It's the one I'd pick for fast group rides and long, spirited weekend blasts.
But if you're looking for a single scooter to do it all - commute, play, live in a flat, charge upstairs, and still put a grin on your face every time you thumb the throttle - the MUKUTA 9 Plus is the more rounded, more liveable, and frankly more impressive package.
