Currus NF
SKU: SCT-CRNF-001
Description
The Currus NF is a high-performance, dual-motor electric scooter built in South Korea and reviewed widely from 2019 onward. It pairs two 1,800 W hub motors (3,600 W combined) with a 60 V 28 Ah Samsung SDI lithium-ion pack rated at 1,680 Wh, giving an advertised top speed of roughly 70 km/h and a manufacturer range figure of 100-120 km. Independent testing put real-world range closer to 80 km under steady-state riding. The NF is best known for its overbuilt construction: a stem made from parallel precision-cut aluminium plates bolted together, secured by a thick steel pin in both the folded and unfolded positions. It rides on 10 x 3 inch pneumatic tires, uses spring suspension front and rear, and stops with hydraulic disc brakes featuring ABS on both wheels. At about 37 kg it is heavy to carry, and charging requires two separate chargers to halve charge time, which reviewers note as a practical inconvenience. The NF is aimed squarely at experienced riders seeking a robust, fast machine rather than a lightweight commuter.

Model history
The Currus NF appeared at the end of the 2010s, with major English-language reviews published in 2019 (Electrek) and 2020. Currus, founded in 2005 in Incheon, South Korea, designed the NF around a notably overbuilt folding frame, drawing on the company’s design ties within the Korean high-performance scooter scene. The NF established Currus as a niche premium maker before the later Panther model pushed the brand further into the hyper-performance segment.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Exceptionally rigid, overbuilt frame and folding mechanism
- Strong dual-motor acceleration and hill-climbing
- Quality hydraulic disc braking with ABS
- Large 1,680 Wh Samsung battery
Cons
- Heavy at roughly 37 kg, awkward to carry
- Requires two chargers for full-speed charging
- Real-world range falls short of the advertised figure
- Reviewers noted handlebar/stem flex at high speed
Verdict
The Currus NF is an overbuilt, dual-motor performance scooter for experienced riders who prioritise rigidity, braking, and outright speed over portability. Its weight, twin-charger setup, and optimistic range claim are the main trade-offs, but the chassis and brakes are genuinely heavy-duty.
What reviewers say
-
The Currus NF may just be the most overbuilt electric scooter I’ve ever seen, with a stem made from parallel aluminum plates that have been precision cut and then bolted together.
