Ausom is just a rebranded KuKirin, so better get the original KuKirin. I don't think there's a better scooter than the G2 at that price point.

For the price it's okay if you do maintenance and take care of them they can last. I am on my 5th scooter I have owned being a disabled vet on a budget I always tried to get the most I could get for the least I could spend. I was due for a new ride so this time I decided I was going to save a little while longer And after owning a Kugoo a Kukrin and Emanba and an Arwibon which all lasted okay. But this time I saved a little bit more money and picked up a Teverun Fighter Mini Pro and damn I wish I had taken all the money from the other scooters and picked up a scooter like this before. The build quality and ride just everything in general is a completely different thing. My last scooter was actually a little faster but the quality of the ride makes it just feels so much safer at higher speeds.ibam not saying spend the $2k I spent on them is one there are other models like Blade mini pro and ultra that are basically the same scooter just without a few bells and whistles like built in GPS. It was the first Teverun I had ever road and even being a 10 inch it actually feels more like a solid motorcycle ride then a cheaper scooter with the KKE ajustable shocks. The Joyer is okay but honestly if your going to spend the around $800 if I remember correctly save for a few more months over the winter if you can you up to the $1200-1500 level you can get a scooter that is literally twice the quality. I look at this way in all the AliExpress scooters i bought after 1.5-2 years you end up needing to replace the battery and they usually start looking a little ruff I was told buy a couple other guys that have this scooter and a similar one that the Samsung battery in there's was going on 3 years with almost no voltage sag. Just my opinion not putting anyone's scooters down I loved my Arwibon GT08 but honestly I didn't know what I was missing. That's just my experience spending a ton of money on scooters over the years. https://preview.redd.it/za7vy67ga6rf1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fe1df032e485b2245d218bf817dfdf1503822e7

Get a scooter it really depends on your budget you can start with like a M4 Pro S+ under $500 on aliexpress if you take care of it and do the maintenance you can get a couple years out of it i got my 14 year old a kukrin G2 Master for right around $1000 its definitely a step up in quality. I had quite a few aliexpress scooters all under $1000 over the years. I finally invested a little more and picked up a Teverun fighter mini pro its a $2k scooter but much better quality. Its like the difference between a Kia and a Cadillac. On top of that even the batteries in these generally last at least 4 years before a replacement is needed. Don't listen to people about seated scooters they all say get a bike i am a disabled vet and have to ride seated. Bikes are heavier batteries don't get close to the range as a scooter as most bike batteries are under 20ah because you pedal too. If you don't want to spend 2k there's also similar ones like the teverun blade mini ultra is exactly the same scooter without built in 4G GPS and a few little things there on sale for black Friday like $1200 way better quality then kukrin joyer arwibon I have pretty much had them all lol https://preview.redd.it/g8bqfxwd8a3g1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96614a9358fc218104916a9ea7784cd1802a21a4 The top left is an emanba x6 pro 48v 2400w $600 aliexpress top right is arwibon gt08 60v $600 aliexpress bottom left 2025 carbon fiber Teverun fighter mini pro. They all have seats available. I travel a lot on the train and bus the fighter pro and the blade mini ultra both weigh around 85lbs great for travel. The teverun comes with nfc key fobs a red and green one so till your son is old enough for a little more speed and power if you use the red key it will only do 20mph so you just give him the red key. Once he has more experience you give him the green unlock key and it will hit 43mph on a full battery and 41mph the rest of the time. Unfortunately the cheaper ones you can lock them down to 20mph but any kid with Google can figure out the button combo to turn it off. No button Combo on Teveruns you physically need the nfc ard
