Kukirins are really good. G2 max, G2 master, and G4 are your go to. Pick the one that's fast enough for you and you'll have lifelong memories. They're basically a namebrand and have good reliability but for cheap prices. Have fun bro and don't get caught, hopefully penalties aren't too big where you live.

I loved my G2 max but I had the same problem, I returned it for a pro lol. Thinking of getting a G4 one day and riding it secretly on dirt trails and the Forrest while avoiding main roads

There isn't one single thing wrong with them, you could use it for years and not have an issue. But generally, when you buy a scooter with that speed, you want to make damn sure that it isn't going to break on you. This brand is known for having more issues, than say, a Segway. On the other hand, the model I have is known to have the stem break at random sooo I'm not one to talk. Just keep a close eye on it before and after your ride, and of course wear a helmet.

No sorry, I meant a Max G2. There are several reports of the stem collapsing for no apparent reaeon

Obviously depends on what you want for speed/range. Assuming 20mph and like 20 mi range, for 3-500, I cant really think of many commuter EUCs. I do know that for that price range you can find a lot of decent used scooters and sk8s online. Personally before I got an euc, I got a kukirin g2 max (scooter) for 400 which I commuted 12 mi round trip with. I would say get a scooter cuz its safer for commuting and will give you better bang for $ in that price range. Plus you can do wheelies

I regularly commute on my MAX G2 in the rain. They are very robust and reliable and handle well in the wet. I have a bright yellow raincoat and long shoe covers.

Isn't the KQI a pretty good one with decent speed and build? NIU gives me the impression that its a higher quality brand than Kukirin (who can't even get their naming right, Kukirin vs Kugoo Kirin, Kugoo). keep in mind there is no app for Kukirin so you aren't gonna get any OTA updates. I got a Kukirin G2 Max. The display died before even 1000km. The company sent me a new one but not before doing some tests, like reseating the connections. But the worst part was they made me open up the scooter which meant ripping up some of that rubber mat and then they wanted me to check the voltage on the battery and charger. I'm half handy so I was willing to do this, but WTF? You want a customer to check voltage with a multimeter? When I checked the charger it gave me a HUGE spark. Naw fk that. I enjoy the scooter but, the design decisions are weird. I bought new shocks so I disassembled the front. And to my surprise the bolt and the nut on the front axle don't use the same size socket! In a sense it meant that I could use a socket wrench on both sides when tightening/loosening the nut but its just weird. It made it feel like its put together with whatever parts they could find. Not sure if other scooters are like that? G2 Master would just rip with those motors. too fast for me to be comfortable on those tiny wheels.

I got a G2 Max. It can get to like 45km/h or something like that. But that's after really pushing it. What's more concerning is OPs attitude. They seem to think all they need to do is be fast and it will work out. Nobody drives at the speed limit.
