Kugoo M4 Pro e-scooter is equipped with a 500W rear hub motor.
Most budget scooters have a motor of 300-400 watts, so this one has a bit more power.
The motor has 3 different speed modes - 1, 2, and 3. By changing these, you can alter the top speed and energy consumption.
The advertised top speed of the Kugoo M4 Pro is 45 km/h. The most I saw on the display was 42 km/h.
The acceleration is quite smooth. Not too aggressive. But definitely not sluggish.
The motor has enough power and torque to climb moderate hills.
The scooter had no problems climbing this quite steep bridge ramp.
Although the Kugoo M4 Pro is a budget electric scooter, it comes with a very solid battery.
The battery has 864 Wh of energy capacity, which can provide up to 75 km of range.
Of course, the exact range depends a lot on the weight of the rider and the chosen riding mode. So most probably the real range is a bit less than that.
Since the scooter is pretty fast, it is essential to have good stopping power.
Kugoo M4 Pro comes with mechanical disc brakes. Both, the rear and front wheels have cable-driven disc brakes.
Of course, these brakes won’t be as smooth and efficient as hydraulic disc brakes and with mechanical brakes, you have to consider the squeaky noise.
But still, the brakes on the Kugoo M4 Pro perform well and there are no problems with stopping power.
By the way, braking levers are very big. So you can press them with 4 fingers.
The frame of the Kugoo M4 is made of aluminum alloy. It’s strong and heavy and seems durable. Therefore, the scooter is quite heavy. Kugoo M4 Pro weighs 24 kg.
Thanks to the strong frame, the Kugoo M4 has a large carrying capacity. It can support riders up to 150 kg. It’s more than most other cheap electric scooters.
The deck of the Kugoo M4 e-scooter is very big. You can easily fit your feet however you like.
The deck also has a nice rubber platform, that provides a nice grip. It’s a nice safety feature in case your shoes are wet.
Most cheap electric scooters lack a suspension system and therefore the ride quality is not quite it.
Kugoo M4 Pro is an exception here. It has dual spring suspensions on top of both wheels. Although the suspensions look cheap, it increases the ride quality a lot.
However, these suspensions are not meant for rough off-roading.
When riding on a bumpy forest trail, you can hear very loud rattling noise and the ride quality is rather poor.
But for riding in the city, these suspensions accompanying 10-inch tires are doing great. They provide good ride quality and absorb some occasional bumps easily.
The M4 Pro has a nice folding mechanism. It takes just a couple of seconds to fold or unfold.
In addition to the folding stem, the M4 has a foldable handlebar. So you really can shrink it down very small and it doesn’t need a big space for storage.
But in terms of portability, we can’t say Kugoo M4 is very portable. It weighs about 25 kilograms, so you don’t want to carry it for more than a few steps.
Also, you need a quite big car to fit it into the trunk. I had to lower the back seat to fit the scooter in the trunk.
The handlebar is quite wide. As mentioned before, the handlebar is collapsible and it also has an adjustable height.
You can make it taller or shorter if you need to. It’s very useful if there are different riders with different heights.
The Kugoo M4 Pro is equipped with the front LED headlight, red rear light with braking indication, and side lights.
You definitely won’t be unseen when riding in the dark.
To sum it up, let’s quickly recap the pros and cons of this e-scooter.
The Kugoo M4 Pro has a quite affordable price tag.
For about €700, it’s unusual to get dual suspensions.
The scooter also has a pretty long range, good stopping power, and high payload capacity.
But nothing is perfect, right?
So on the negative side, the scooter is heavy and not so portable.
Since the handlebar is collapsible and adjustable, there are many joints that can get loose. So you have to often tighten the plastic screws and the stem clamp. Otherwise, it gets loose and starts rattling.
Also, the front spring suspensions are not very high-end and they make a pretty loud noise when riding on a bumpy road.
But overall, it’s not a bad scooter. If you are looking for an affordable commuter scooter with a reasonable range, Kugoo M4 Pro is worth consideration.
Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next videos!
