Unboxing the KuKirin G2 Pro Electric Scooter
From first glance it is clear the Kugoo Kirin G2 Pro electric scooter is an impressive piece of engineering which has caught the attention of many a scooter enthusiast. Unboxing the scooter reveals a sleek but also sturdy design. When you look inside the box you will find the scooter accompanied by several accessories which include the scooter manual, a tool kit, foot pump, and the scooter’s charger.

Kugoo G2 Pro Installation
Installing the seat on the G2 Pro is a hassle-free process as well as a useful added optional extra . You simply place the seat post straight onto the scooter’s deck, add and tighten the screws, lock the lever into place to enjoy a seated ride. It’s pretty easy to click the saddle into place, and the whole installation process will only take you a few minutes. Only a few scooters (unless specified as scooters with seats) have this potentially useful option.
Features and Performance
Moving on to consider some of the features of the scooter, it’s very much worth mentioning that one of the standout features of the Kugoo Kirin G2 Pro Scooter is its adjustable handlebar height which allows for flexibility and caters to both shorter and taller riders. With its safety lever and an additional lever for compact storage, the folding mechanism is both straightforward to use and durable.
The Kukirin G2 Pro has a decent top speed of 45 km/h or 28 miles per hour and a range of up to 45 km or 34 miles on a full charge. The 15-amp hour battery ensures long rides without frequent recharges. The scooter has a front and rear suspension system, which is sturdy and absorbs shock well along with the 9.3 inch rubber pneumatic tires. Combined with front and rear disc brakes, this makes the ride seem comfortable as well as safe, but also makes the scooter suitable for both off road and on road use.
The 600-watt brushless motor provides plenty of power, while the nine-inch tires are suitable for both on-road and off-road use. This electric scooter also features bright front and rear lights, along with indicator lights, ensuring visibility and safety if you are riding in the dark off road or on smoother surfaces.
The handlebar on the G2 Pro is satisfyingly stable, without any shakes or wobbles which is important to note because this can be a problem for many electric scooters especially on rougher terrains. and at higher speeds. This is definitely an adaptable scooter as it is suitable for various terrains and longer rides and it comes with plenty of safety features.
Basic Specs
Battery Life
The G2 Pro’s battery life is really decent for this price range and it can last up to 55km or 34 miles on a single charge. Depending on the terrain and the weight of the rider you may get less range however.
Compared to other scooters of a similar price, e.g. the Pure Advance+ scooter (50 km or 31 miles) which also has a decent range, you are definitely getting a lot out of a single charge of the battery.
Downsides of the Kugoo Kirin
After reading many reviews on Amazon and on Trustpilot there are only really three things that users have mentioned as potentially troublesome about the scooter. Some have complained that if you are particularly tall (over 6 ft) then you might have trouble adjusting the handlebar to suit your height.
Some customers have felt that the suspension is ‘stiff,’ although this is definitely not everyone’s experience (we would describe it as ‘robust’ rather than ‘stiff’), and some customers have felt that the folding mechanism is a little clumsy, and too over-complicated and fiddly for them.
Conclusion
Overall, the Kugoo Kirin G2 Pro is a fantastic electric scooter, offering good power, reliable braking, and excellent comfort.
