Kugoo KuKirin Electric Scooter Comparison 2026 - Which Model to Choose

Last updated: 5 July 2026

For everyday city riding, a lighter and more affordable model works well, such as the KuKirin G2 Pro or A1. If you need a longer range and a stronger motor, look at the G3 Pro or G4 Max. For heavier riders or rougher roads, dual-motor models such as the G2 Master or G2 Ultra are a better fit. Every model compared here belongs to the KuKirin (formerly Kugoo Kirin) lineup - the differences come from how the scooter is used, not from the name. If the difference between Kugoo and KuKirin is confusing, our Kugoo and KuKirin brand article explains it.

Key takeaways:

• The Kugoo KuKirin lineup includes both light city models (S1 Max, A1) and dual-motor models built for longer distances (G3 Pro, G4 Max).
• The manufacturer states a range of 39 to 95 km depending on the model - actual range is usually lower in cold weather, with a heavier rider, or at higher speed.
• Some models (G4, G2 Max, G4 Max) are temporarily out of stock - they stay in this comparison because the lineup keeps changing, and it's worth knowing what belongs to it.
• VMP models (G2 Pro VMP, G2 2026 VMP) are factory-limited to 25 km/h and suit riders who deliberately want the speed that applies to light electric vehicles.
• You can find every model gathered in the electric scooter collection.

If you're looking for a Kugoo KuKirin scooter but the model range feels overwhelming, the best place to start is figuring out which model fits your usual riding style.

Which Kugoo KuKirin model fits your needs?

In short: if you mostly ride in the city over shorter distances, a lighter and more affordable model will do; if you need a longer range or carry heavier loads, it's worth choosing a model with a stronger motor and a bigger battery. The deciding factor isn't the brand - they're all KuKirin models - but how and how much you actually ride.

• Everyday city riding, budget matters. KuKirin S1 Max - the lightest and most affordable model in the range, 350 W motor, fixed 25 km/h.
• City riding with a bit more power. KuKirin A1 and KuKirin G2 Pro - more motor power (800 W and 600 W) than the S1 Max.
• Daily riding plus somewhat longer distances. KuKirin G2 and KuKirin G2 2026 VMP - 800 W motor and front-rear suspension.
• Longer range, regular city roads. KuKirin G2 Max and KuKirin G3 - manufacturer-rated up to 70 km and 63 km.
• Heavier riders or rougher roads. KuKirin G2 Master, KuKirin G2 Ultra and KuKirin G4 - dual motor or a larger single motor, stronger suspension.
• Biggest range and performance in the range. KuKirin G3 Pro and KuKirin G4 Max - the most powerful in the lineup, with hydraulic brakes.
• Deliberately factory-limited to 25 km/h. KuKirin G2 Pro VMP and KuKirin G2 2026 VMP.
• An e-bike built for off-road riding, not a scooter. KuKirin X1 - a mid-motor e-bike with 14"/12" tires.

You can also compare all models side by side in the electric scooter collection, where you can check availability and price at the same time.

Full technical comparison of all models

In short: the biggest differences between models come down to motor power, battery size, and the resulting manufacturer-rated range - weight and price generally rise together with power. The table lines up all fourteen models side by side so you can compare motor, battery, speed, weight, and price directly, without opening every product page separately.

Speeds are manufacturer figures, and most models are software-limited to 25 km/h - the common speed limit for light electric vehicles in Estonia. The G2 Pro VMP and G2 2026 VMP differ in that the 25 km/h limit is set at the factory, not just through software.

Range is likewise the manufacturer's stated maximum. Cold weather, a heavier rider, windy roads, and consistently higher speeds all reduce actual range - choose a model with a bigger battery if your usual riding distance comes close to the manufacturer's stated figure.

Quick model overviews

KuKirin S1 Max. The lightest model in the range - 16 kg, 350 W motor, fixed 25 km/h speed. The tires are solid and honeycomb-structured, so punctures aren't a concern, though the ride is firmer. Braking combines an e-brake with a foot brake. Suits short city trips and situations where you need to carry the scooter often. See the KuKirin S1 Max →

KuKirin A1. A lighter city model with an 800 W motor and a manufacturer-rated range of 45 km. It differs from the rest of the range in IP rating - the A1 has IPX4, while most others have IP54 - so it's best to avoid very dusty environments. There's no separate suspension. Suits everyday riding on flat roads. See the KuKirin A1 →

KuKirin G2 Pro. The entry-level model in the G2 family: 600 W motor, 9-inch vacuum tires, front-rear suspension, removable seat. Currently at a sale price (€489 instead of the regular €569).

KuKirin G2 Ultra. A dual-motor (2× 800 W, 1600 W combined) mid-range model on a 48 V system - more climbing power than the single-motor G2, but lighter than the 52 V or 60 V flagship models. Touchscreen display, three riding modes plus a turbo mode, and a foldable frame. See the KuKirin G2 Ultra →

KuKirin G2 Max. Currently temporarily out of stock, but stays in this comparison because the lineup keeps changing. A single-motor (1000 W, 48 V) model that the manufacturer rates for up to 70 km of range. Four-link suspension and a removable seat are included. See the KuKirin G2 Max →

KuKirin G3 Pro. A dual-motor (2× 1200 W, 2400 W combined) 52 V model with hydraulic brakes front and rear. The manufacturer rates it for up to 80 km of range. At 44 kg, it's one of the heaviest models in the range, better suited to more stationary use. See the KuKirin G3 Pro →

KuKirin G4 Max. Currently temporarily out of stock. The most powerful model in the range: a dual motor rated at 2× 1600 W nominal, up to 2× 2000 W at peak, a 60 V system, and 4-piston hydraulic brakes. The manufacturer rates it for up to 95 km of range. A 64 kg weight and 150 kg load capacity make it the largest model in the range. See the KuKirin G4 Max →

KuKirin X1. This isn't a scooter but an electric bike with a motocross-style frame: a mid-motor (1000 W, 2000 W peak), aluminum frame, a 14-inch front and 12-inch rear wheel, and IP65 water resistance, the highest in the range. The manufacturer rates it for up to 40 km of range off-road. See the KuKirin X1 →

G-series or other models - how do you choose?

In short: the G-series (G2, G2 Pro, G2 Master, G3, G3 Pro, G4, G4 Max, G2 Max, G2 Ultra) forms the backbone of the range, from lighter to heavier and more powerful models, while the S1 Max, A1, and X1 cover special cases - the lightest city ride, a model with a different IP rating, and an e-bike, respectively. Choosing within the G-series mostly comes down to motor power, battery size, and whether you need a dual motor.

Within the G-series there's a clear price-tier split: the G2 Pro and G2 at entry level, the G2 Ultra and G2 Max in the mid-range, the G2 Master and G4 in the upper mid-range, and the G3 Pro and G4 Max at the top of the range. If you're weighing two close models, such as the G2 versus the G2 Pro versus the G2 Master, we'll dedicate a separate, more detailed post to that topic.

VMP models (G2 Pro VMP, G2 2026 VMP) are permanently set to 25 km/h at the factory, without a removable software limit. Regular models are also software-limited to 25 km/h, but their hardware allows for a higher top speed according to the manufacturer.
