G2 Pro

Kukirn has some solid options in that price range but honestly their water resistance can be hit or miss depending on the model. If you're coming from esk8, you'll probably want something with decent torque and acceleration - the G2 Pro might be worth checking out since it's got that aggressive feel you're looking for. For wet weather riding, I'd actually lean toward looking at the Vsett 8 or maybe even stretching for a Blade 10 if you can find one on sale. Both have way better IP ratings than most Kukirns and the performance is there for someone used to electric boards. The family aspect is tricky though since most high-performance scooters aren't exactly beginner friendly - might want to grab something with different ride modes so you can dial down the power when others are using it.

For 45-50km/h I would recommend a Kukurin g2 (not the pro, its in my opinion inferior to the standard G2 (800W, 48V 15Ah (0.8Ah less then the g2 pro). The g2 has better suspension, a quick fold system and the g2 pro takes a bit longer, is less complex to work on and stabler. I own a g2, so I know what I am talking about, but Im also a bit biased😂, 3500km ridden and the only problems were my fault. It would cost €450-500 new, but you can find basically new ones for €350-400 second hands. My g2 range at 3500km, 190cm 85kg, is at top speed 20-25km but easily 50+km at 25km/h. For legal scooters, Ninebot g2 max or g30 are fine options. They are 'worse' in terms of speed, battery and suspension for the same price as Kukirins, but they are legal. If you buy them in a shop, you can get warrenty (2 years often) I would avoid expensive brands, maybe look at Kukirin, Ninebot, (Xiaomi maybe but they could have worse quality). It depends on your needs, Kukirin is a good all-round choice but illegal, Ninebot is legal but imo too expensive for what you get, Xiaomi is meh

better suspension,headlight placement is waayy better.bigger brakes.

my gf kukirin g2 pro is sweet for a slower scoot. parts easily available and ez to work on. jus saying because i seen g3pro on ur list.

For around $500 you can get a KuKirin G2 which goes 28mph and has a max range of 34 miles,(realistically around 22 miles, I’m 15 yrs old, 6’0 and 170 lbs, and its perfectly enough for me) and it has a great suspension, and if you maintain it well, there won’t be any issues (I’ve had it for 6 months and I only needed to replace the brake pads once which cost like $10). I ride with a motorcycle helmet, and It’s a really stable scooter, I never fell before.

I dont know how the Kukirin models are in The United States but i wouldnt reccomend the A1, i have a Kukirin g2 and it has a bigger battery, better suspension and better brakes.

Kukirin G2. It has the range of 30 km. (Just divide the claimed range by half on their website.) But the battery wears off. I am able to make 18 km after 6000 km. It's not just about battery. There is now a lot of friction in the motor for some reason. It goes at 35 km/h comfortably. It has suspensions in the rear and the front tyres. This is very very important!!! It's cheap and light.
