Algupära

Kugoo (retail-branded Kugoo Kirin, and since ~2022 rebranded KuKirin) is a Chinese electric-mobility maker under Shenzhen-based ownership that rose to prominence in Europe on the back of the direct-from-China e-scooter boom around 2019-2021. Its scooters ship from EU warehouses (Poland, Czechia) through the kugoo.eu / kukirin storefronts and a long tail of grey-market resellers, undercutting Xiaomi and Ninebot on price. The M2 line is Kugoo's cheapest 'proper' commuter platform — a lightweight folding 350W scooter built to hit an aggressive price point. The M2+ (also written M2 Plus) is not a separate engineering project but the same M2 chassis fitted with an add-on adjustable saddle, aimed at riders who want to sit for longer, gentler city rides. Because it is sold by many different sellers, the exact spec (tire, brake, top speed) drifts between listings, which is the single biggest thing to watch when buying one.

Tehnilised andmed

Mootor: 350W brushless hub motor (front on Pro-spec, rear on seated M2+ listings); ~750W peak with 14A controller
Aku: 36V lithium-ion; 7.5Ah on M2/M2 Pro (~270 Wh), 8Ah on seated M2+ listings
Sõiduulatus: ~25-30 km claimed; realistically ~18-25 km with a rider (seat + weight reduce it)
Tippkiirus: 25 km/h on most EU/base spec; some M2+ seated listings advertise up to 35 km/h (unverified, likely optimistic)
Pidurid: Dual system — front electric/regen brake + rear mechanical: disc on M2/M2 Pro, DRUM on the seated M2+ listings
Rehvid: 8"-8.5": 8.5" pneumatic (tubeless) on M2/M2 Pro; 8" solid/vacuum tire on several seated M2+ units
Vedrustus: Front spring/suspension fork + rear shock (dual suspension)
Kaal: ~15.6 kg (M2 Pro net) to ~18.6 kg net on seated M2+ (saddle + heavier build)
Max koormus: ~100-120 kg (120 kg on M2 Pro; some seated M2+ listings state 100 kg)

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Very cheap and light (~15-19 kg) — easy to carry and fold, low barrier to entry
Dual suspension plus the optional seat make short city rides comfortable for a budget scooter
Simple, well-known platform with cheap, widely-available spare parts (tires, brakes, controllers)

−Nõrkused

Small 36V 7.5-8Ah battery means real-world range is short (~18-25 km), and it fades with rider weight and the seat
Spec is inconsistent across sellers (tire type, rear brake, top-speed claims) — easy to get a worse unit than advertised, and top-speed claims of 35 km/h are optimistic
Grey-import build quality and thin local warranty/support in the Baltics; not built for rough roads or hills
