Operating your Kukirin above 25 km/h—and in some EU countries above 20 km/h—on public roads may be illegal and unsafe. Always check your local laws before riding.
The Kukirin's management system uses Hall effect sensor activation logic. Unlike older mechanical methods, everything here is controlled via the LED dashboard interface and the controller's response. This process is completely reversible and does not alter the vehicle's source code.
For optimal understanding, this protocol should be viewed as a "software key" that communicates directly with the central processor. The controller expects a series of specific electrical pulses coming simultaneously from the brake lever (which cuts the motor circuit) and the control button (which sends the mode change signal). This synchronization ensures that the mode change cannot be activated accidentally, thus protecting the user from a sudden power surge while driving.
How to Unlock or Limit the Kukirin:
-
System Check: Turn on the LED display. The electric scooter must be stationary, with its kickstand down or upright, so that the speed sensor reads zero.
-
Circuit Closure: Press and hold the left brake lever to its maximum contact point. This informs the controller that the motor is secured.
-
Code Entry: While keeping the brake applied, press the power button exactly four times briefly. Do not rush the clicks; each press must be distinct.
- Status Reading: A specific indicator light will appear on the LCD touchscreen. Visible light = Speed Limited (25 km/h). Invisible light = Speed Limit Unrestricted (45 km/h).

Ready To Get your Kukirin ?
Here are the 10 best electric scooters from Kukirin, ranked by price range.
1. KuKirin G2 – Best-Selling All‑Round Electric Scooter
The KuKirin G2 is one of our best sellers because it balances performance, price, and practicality better than almost any other KuKirin. It uses an **800W motor**, a **48V 15.6Ah battery**, and reaches up to **45 km/h** with a **maximum range up to 55 km**, which is more than enough for daily commuting and weekend rides. At **€479,00**, the G2 undercuts many competitors while still offering IPX4 water resistance, a clear LED display, and a foldable design that fits into most car boots and apartment hallways. If you want one KuKirin model that “just works” for city riding, the G2 is usually the right starting point.
- Motor: 800W rear hub
- Battery: 48V 15.6Ah
- Top speed: 45 km/h
- Range: up to 55 km
- Price: €479,00
Who is the G2 best for?
We usually recommend the G2 for riders who want a fast, stable city scooter without going into heavy dual‑motor territory. It’s ideal for commutes of 10–20 km each way, including occasional hills and light rain. If you later decide you need more power or range, the riding position and controls of the G2 make it an easy step up to the G2 Max, G2 Master, or G3 series.
2. KuKirin G2 Pro – Oldest Best Seller with DGT/VMP Options
The KuKirin G2 Pro builds on the G2 platform with a **600W motor** and a **48V 15Ah battery**, still topping out at **45 km/h** and claiming up to **55 km** of range. Its main strength is flexibility: you can choose standard or DGT/VMP‑compliant versions (for markets like Spain) and you can add a removable seat on non‑DGT units. Priced around **€499,00**, the G2 Pro is slightly above the G2 but adds certifications and configuration choices that matter if you ride in stricter regulatory environments. You still get full suspension, disc brakes, and a compact folding frame.
- Motor: 600W
- Battery: 48V 15Ah
- Top speed: 45 km/h (adjustable on DGT/VMP version)
- Range: up to 55 km
- Options: DGT/VMP versions, removable seat (except DGT)
When does the G2 Pro make more sense than the G2?
If your city enforces speed caps or specific e‑scooter certifications, the G2 Pro’s DGT/VMP‑ready setup can save a lot of hassle. We also see many riders choosing it purely for the ability to add a seat while keeping G‑series handling and suspension. For pure value, the standard G2 still wins, but for compliance and comfort, the G2 Pro is the safer bet.
3. KuKirin T3 – Modern Design Commuter Scooter
The KuKirin T3 is a more modern‑looking alternative to the G2 family, targeting riders who want clean lines and a commuter‑first design. It keeps a strong performance base with an **800W motor**, **45 km/h** top speed and a lightweight folding frame that’s easier to carry in and out of apartments. With a list price around **€559,00**, the T3 costs slightly more than the G2 but appeals if you care about updated aesthetics and a slimmer, commuter‑oriented profile. Three speed modes, including eco, help keep you within legal limits and stretch your range.
- Motor: ~800W single motor
- Top speed: 45 km/h
- Design: lightweight, modern folding frame
- Best for: urban riders who value style and portability
Why pick the T3 over a G‑series scooter?
We tend to point style‑conscious commuters, especially those in dense city centers, towards the T3. It offers familiar KuKirin performance in a sleeker package that looks at home in modern office environments and co‑working spaces. If you want a “modern design” scooter that still feels solid and fast, the T3 is KuKirin’s most balanced option.
4. KuKirin G2 Max – Best Scooter Around €600 for Range and Power
The KuKirin G2 Max is widely considered the sweet spot for riders who want more power and range without going over roughly €650. It uses a **1000W motor** and a **48V 20Ah battery (~960 Wh)**, with a claimed **top speed of 55 km/h** and **maximum range up to 80 km**. In real‑world conditions, riders typically see about **42 km of range** and **40–45 km/h** cruising speeds, which is still excellent for the price point. At **€649,00**, it gives you long‑range capability, off‑road‑capable 10" tires, strong suspension, and the option for a removable seat.
- Motor: 1000W
- Battery: 48V 20Ah (≈960 Wh)
- Top speed (official): up to 65 km/h unladen
- Top speed (real‑world): ~40–45 km/h typical
- Range: up to 80 km claimed; ~42 km tested
- Price: €649,00
Why we call the G2 Max “best around €600”
We compare scooters by cost per Wh of battery, real‑world range, and motor power. The G2 Max scores strongly on all three while staying well below four‑figure prices. If your commute is 15–20 km each way or you want a weekend tourer without carrying a charger, the G2 Max is usually the smartest upgrade from the G2/G2 Pro range.
5. KuKirin C1 Pro – Best KuKirin Electric Scooter with Seat
For riders who always want to sit, carry groceries, or ride with more stability at lower speeds, the KuKirin C1 Pro stands out as KuKirin’s most comfortable seated scooter. It uses a step‑through style frame with a **full seat and rear basket**, plus a flat wooden platform for your feet. The C1 Pro focuses more on comfort and practicality than outright speed, making it ideal for older riders, delivery work, and anyone who values stability over aggressive acceleration. As a seated model, it fills a different role in the KuKirin lineup than the G‑ and T‑series.
Who should consider the C1 Pro?
We usually recommend the C1 Pro for riders who:
- Need a **seated scooter** as a priority, not an add‑on
- Plan to carry bags, groceries, or small cargo
- Care more about comfort and practicality than top speed
If you like the idea of a removable seat but still want a sportier frame, consider the G2 Max instead; for true “electric moped‑style” riding, the C1 Pro is the better choice.
6. KuKirin G2 Ultra – Only Electric Scooter with Bluetooth Music, Calls & Navigation
The KuKirin G2 Ultra is unique in the KuKirin family because of its **integrated Bluetooth speaker and connectivity features**. You can pair your phone to play music, take calls via the scooter, and receive navigation prompts broadcast while riding. Underneath the tech, the G2 Ultra still delivers serious hardware with dual 800W motors (2x800W), a 48V 18Ah battery, and a folding frame. It’s aimed at riders who want entertainment and convenience on longer trips without wearing headphones.
Why the G2 Ultra stands out
The G2 Ultra is the only KuKirin that currently combines:
- Dual‑motor performance in a mid‑size frame
- Bluetooth audio for music and calls
- Navigation broadcast functionality
If your rides are long enough that audio prompts, hands‑free calls, and background music matter, this model offers a more integrated experience than simply clipping your phone to the handlebars.
7. KuKirin G2 Master – Best Affordable Dual Motor KuKirin
The KuKirin G2 Master is our top pick when riders tell us they want a **dual‑motor scooter at the best possible price**. It delivers **2x1200W motors**, a **52V 20Ah removable battery**, up to **65 km/h** top speed and **80 km** maximum range, yet sits at around **€829,00**. That price is aggressive for genuine dual‑motor performance with proper suspension and frame stiffness. The removable battery makes home charging easier for apartment dwellers, and the scooter’s footprint is still more compact than the extreme G4/G4 Max.
- Motors: 2x1200W dual motor
- Battery: 52V 20Ah removable
- Top speed: up to 65 km/h
- Range: up to 80 km
- Price: €829,00
Who should buy the G2 Master?
We suggest the G2 Master for experienced riders who want **strong acceleration and hill‑climbing** but don’t need the huge size and cost of the G4 Max. It’s also a logical upgrade path if you already ride a G2 or G2 Max and feel you’re hitting their performance ceiling. If your budget can stretch to a bit over €800 and you want dual motors, this is one of the best value KuKirin choices.
8. KuKirin G4 – Powerful Motor and Unique Off‑Road Design
The KuKirin G4 is the first step into KuKirin’s true off‑road line‑up, with a **2000W motor**, **60V 20Ah battery**, and **11" off‑road tires**. It’s built for riders who spend more time on rough tracks, steep hills, or country roads than on smooth city bike lanes. With a list price of **€849,00**, the G4 offers a lot of punch for the money, including IP54 waterproofing and dual charging ports that reduce time at the socket. Its top speed is quoted at **70 km/h**, so we always remind buyers to respect local speed and helmet laws.
- Motor: 2000W
- Battery: 60V 20Ah
- Top speed: up to 70 km/h
- Tires: 11" off‑road pattern
- Price: €849,00
What makes the G4’s design unique?
The frame geometry, wide deck, and tall stem of the G4 give it a very **“big scooter”** stance. Riders who come from mountain bikes or motorcycles usually feel at home quickly, especially on loose gravel or dirt. If you mostly ride in the countryside and want a scooter you can really push off‑road, the G4 is much more capable than the G2/G3 commuter‑oriented series.
9. KuKirin G3 Pro – Best KuKirin Scooter Under €1,300
The KuKirin G3 Pro is a high‑performance dual‑motor scooter that still stays below the psychological **€1,300** mark, with a price of **€1.249,00**. It combines **2x1200W motors** (2400W total), a **52V 23.4Ah removable battery**, an **80 km** claimed range and top speeds of up to **65 km/h**. In practice, that means brisk acceleration, confident hill‑climbing, and enough range for serious touring or demanding commutes. The removable battery also makes storage and charging easier if you live upstairs or park in a garage without sockets.
- Motors: 2x1200W dual motor
- Battery: 52V 23.4Ah removable
- Top speed: up to 65 km/h
- Range: up to 80 km
- Price: €1.249,00
How it compares to the G2 Master and G4
Compared with the G2 Master, the G3 Pro offers a larger battery and more premium overall package at a higher price. Compared with the G4, it focuses a bit more on long‑range dual‑motor performance than extreme off‑road use. If your budget sits under €1,300 and you want a true “do‑everything” performance scooter, the G3 Pro is one of the strongest KuKirin choices.
10. KuKirin G4 Max – Highest Performance KuKirin Electric Scooter
At the very top of the KuKirin range sits the KuKirin G4 Max, designed for riders who want maximum speed, range, and off‑road capability. It’s rated for a **top speed up to 86 km/h** and a **range up to 95 km**, powered by a **60V 35.2Ah battery**. This scooter competes directly with many high‑end performance brands but often at a more accessible price point. It’s overkill for short city errands, but for long trips, steep climbs, and serious weekend adventures, the G4 Max is KuKirin’s flagship.
- Battery: 60V 35.2Ah high‑capacity pack
- Range: up to 95 km
- Top speed: up to 86 km/h (where legally permitted)
- Use case: long‑distance, high‑speed, off‑road focused
Who is the G4 Max really for?
We only recommend the G4 Max to:
- Experienced riders comfortable at higher speeds
- Owners with access to safe off‑road or private areas
- Riders who genuinely need 60+ km of range in a day
If you mainly commute in cities with strict limits, a G2 Max, G2 Master, or G3 Pro is usually a more realistic—and more manageable—choice.
11. Other Notable KuKirin Models Worth Considering
Beyond the main ten scooters highlighted above, KuKirin offers several additional models that might be a better match for specific use cases, budgets, or riding styles.
KuKirin A1 – Compact but Fast Urban Scooter
The KuKirin A1 combines an **800W motor** with a **48V 13Ah** battery and a **top speed of 45 km/h** in a more compact, commuter‑friendly frame. With a price of **€439,00**, it undercuts the G2 slightly and targets riders who want a light, nimble daily scooter.
KuKirin G3 – Adventurer’s Single-Motor Powerhouse
The KuKirin G3 (Adventurers edition) brings a **1200W motor**, **52V 18Ah removable battery**, **50 km/h** top speed and up to **60 km** stated range. At **€599,00**, it’s a strong option if you want more punch than a G2 but don’t yet need dual motors.
KuKirin M4 Max – Budget Long-Range Option
The KuKirin M4 Max offers an **18Ah battery** and upgraded capability at **€469,00**, appealing to riders who want more range than entry‑level models without jumping to the G2 Max’s price. It’s a good bridge between standard commuters and the more powerful G‑series.
Conclusion
KuKirin’s range covers nearly every rider profile, from compact commuters like the **A1** and **T3**, through best‑selling all‑rounders like the **G2** and **G2 Max**, to serious dual‑motor machines such as the **G2 Master**, **G3 Pro**, and extreme **G4 Max**. When we help customers choose, we focus on three points: **range needed per day**, **terrain and hills**, and **local speed/road rules**. If you want a simple recommendation:
- Pick the G2 for everyday city use on a budget.
- Pick the G2 Max if you regularly ride longer distances.
- Pick the G2 Master or G3 Pro if you want serious dual‑motor performance.
- Pick the G4 or G4 Max only if you truly need off‑road power and extreme range.
Whichever KuKirin electric scooter you choose, align its capabilities with your daily routes and legal environment, and you’ll get far more value and enjoyment out of your purchase.
