Your First Electric Scooter: How to Easily Pick the Right One?

1. Determine your purpose of use: start with "why"

Before choosing an electric scooter, ask yourself a simple question: Why do I want to buy it?
Want to avoid the bus and subway during rush hour in the morning and evening?
Or do you want to ride for a ride and relax on the weekend?
Or do you want to challenge the off-road trails and explore more unknowns?

It is crucial to figure out the purpose.
If you are a daily commuter, you should give priority to models with long battery life, comfortable riding and durability; for example, the cost-effective and well-reputed Kukirin G2 and Kukirin G2 Pro are good choices.
If you only ride occasionally for leisure, the lightweight, worry-free and price-friendly entry-level models such as Kukirin S1 Max are particularly suitable for short-distance use in the city with its lightweight design of only 12 kg.
If you prefer off-road adventures, you need a professional scooter with a powerful motor and sturdy tires, such as the KuKirin G4 Max , which has powerful power and hydraulic suspension system, suitable for complex road conditions.

Choose the right direction to choose the right scooter.

2.Range and battery life: How far can you ride?

Range is key, it tells you how far the scooter can travel on a single charge.

Short-distance riding (under 10 km/6 miles per day): 250-300W scooters with a range of 20-30 km are usually sufficient, such as the Kukirin S1 Max

Long-distance commuting, hilly terrain, or heavier riders: Look for motors with 800-2000W watts and a range of at least 75 km, which can provide more torque and smoother performance, especially on slopes

👉 Pro tip: always check user reviews for actual range test results - manufacturer claims are often overly optimistic.

3.Speed: How fast do you really need to go?

Most scooters have a top speed of 25-40 km/h (15-25 mph). For beginners, 15-18 mph is fast enough and easier to maneuver. Don’t get hung up on speed—safety and maneuverability are more important.

4.Portability: Can you carry it easily?

If you’re carrying the scooter up stairs or on a train, pay attention to its weight and foldability.

Choose a model that weighs less than 13.5 kg (30 lbs).

Choose a model with a quick-folding system for ease of use

Bottom line: Choose the scooter that’s 'right' for you

There’s no “perfect scooter.” It’s all about finding the scooter that fits your life.

Keep it simple. Focus on your needs. Read some reviews. Then ride off into the sunset with confidence
