Brief conclusions of the comparison electric scooters

Electric scooters Kugoo Kirin M5 Pro and Kugoo Kirin G4 have similar characteristics, but there are key differences. The M5 Pro has a range of 70 km and a motor power of 1000 W, while the G4 offers a larger range of 75 km and a power of 2000 W, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of up to 70 km/h, unlike the 52 km/h of the M5 Pro. Both scooters have disc brakes and front and rear suspension, however, the G4 has a slightly larger maximum climbing angle (20° compared to 15° for the M5 Pro). The charging time for the M5 Pro is 9 hours, and for the G4, it's 12 hours. In addition, the M5 Pro is equipped with a seat and adjustable handlebar height, which the G4 lacks.

Glossary

Range

The maximum distance that an electric scooter can travel on a single battery charge.

Usually the range is indicated for a flat road and driving only on an electric motor, without the help of a rider. So this indicator is quite conditional, in practice, the distance of the trip may be either less or more, depending on the characteristics of the road and driving style. Nevertheless, according to the claimed range, it is quite possible to estimate the autonomy of different models and compare them with each other.

Note that a large range (more than 50 km) requires capacious batteries, which affects the dimensions and weight of the device. The real need for such autonomy is not required so often, especially since many electric scooters are quite capable of driving in the usual way, without the use of an electric motor.

Power

The power of the motor installed in the electric scooter. In models with two motors (one per wheel), their total power is usually indicated.

A more powerful motor, on the one hand, has a positive effect on the speed and acceleration characteristics; on the other hand, it affects the cost of the device and requires more capacious batteries, which affect both the price and weight. In addition, at acceleration and low speeds, the scooter can be “helped” by pushing off with your foot. Therefore, in most modern models, the motor power is low — most often in range of 250 W, 300 W, 350 W. Power of 500 W is considered quite high, it allows you to reach speeds of 40 km/h and even higher. In the most advanced models, power is already measured in kilowatts, and the maximum speed can exceed 80 km/h; however, such "monsters" cost accordingly.

However, power also affects the ability to drive a vehicle, because depending on the country, various traffic rules are provided for driving a scooter.

Max. speed

A high top speed gives you more riding options and reduces travel time. However, it requires powerful motors and capacious batteries, which affects the price and weight of the scooter. In addition, the faster the scooter, the more careful you need to be when driving. Therefore, most of the electric scooters have a speed of 25 km / h or a little more - 30 km / h.

Max. climbing angle

The maximum climbing angle that an electric scooter can overcome on engine power alone, without the help of legs. Models with engines of the same power may differ in this indicator (due to the difference in torque and wheel size).

Note that in the specifications the angle is usually indicated in degrees, while on road signs it is given as a percentage (1% corresponds to a rise of 1 m for every 100 m of horizontal movement). However, this moment is not particularly critical: if you often have to overcome a certain hill, you can clarify its slope by converting percentages into degrees (and vice versa) according to special tables. In addition, if the angle turns out to be too large, nothing prevents you from helping the scooter with your foot, in extreme cases, to overcome the climb on foot.

Voltage

In general, this parameter is of secondary importance; in fact, it is needed mainly when looking for a spare / replacement battery or a third-party charger. When choosing, it is worth paying attention to characteristics that are closer to practice - in particular, directly claimed speed and power reserve.

Full charge time

Time to fully charge the battery from zero to 100%.

The more powerful the device, the more capacious batteries it needs and, as a rule, the longer the charging time. In the heaviest models, it can reach 20 hours. However, such indicators are rare - most electric scooters are charged for a maximum of 8-9 hours, which allows you to put the device on charge “from evening to morning”.

Handlebar height adjustment

The ability to change the height of the handlebar, adjusting it to the height of the user. This feature will be especially useful if the scooter is bought for several users of different heights or for a teenager who is still in the growth stage.

Seat

Own seat that allows you to ride a scooter while sitting. It is often removable, which allows you to use the scooter in two different versions.

Dustproof, waterproof

The degree of protection against dust and moisture provided in the scooter.

This indicator is shown according to the IP standard and in the classic format is indicated by two numbers — for example, IP54. In this case, the first digit means the level of protection against dust and foreign objects, its value can be as follows:

- 4 - protection against foreign objects with a size of 1 mm or more;
- 5 - dust resistance (a small amount of dust can get inside, which does not affect the operation of the device);
- 6 - full dustproof.

The level of water protection, in turn, can be as follows:

- 4 - protection against splashes from any direction, allows you to endure rain without consequences;
- 5 - protection against water jets from any direction, resistance even to severe weather;

In some models, instead of the first digit, "X" is put - for example, IPX4. This means that dust resistance has not been tested, and only moisture resistance should be taken into account.
