Compare Kugoo Kirin M4 and M4
Electric scooters Kugoo Kirin M4 and Kugoo M4 have similar features, but there are a few key differences. The Kugoo Kirin M4 offers a greater range of 45 km compared to 30 km for the Kugoo M4, making it more suitable for longer trips. The maximum speed of the Kugoo M4 is 45 km/h, while the Kugoo Kirin M4 reaches 40 km/h. Both scooters have a motor power of 500 W and can support a load up to 150 kg. However, the Kugoo Kirin M4 is equipped with handlebar height adjustment and has turn signals, which are not present in the Kugoo M4. Overall, the choice between these models will depend on your preferences for range and additional features.

Glossary
Range
The maximum distance that an electric scooter can travel on a single battery charge.
Usually the range is indicated for a flat road and driving only on an electric motor, without the help of a rider. So this indicator is quite conditional, in practice, the distance of the trip may be either less or more, depending on the characteristics of the road and driving style. Nevertheless, according to the claimed range, it is quite possible to estimate the autonomy of different models and compare them with each other.
Note that a large range (more than 50 km) requires capacious batteries, which affects the dimensions and weight of the device. The real need for such autonomy is not required so often, especially since many electric scooters are quite capable of driving in the usual way, without the use of an electric motor.

Speed modes
The number of speed modes in the electric scooter. By switching between them, the rider has the right to choose the most comfortable pace of the trip and change the upper speed limit bar.
Max. climbing angle
The maximum climbing angle that an electric scooter can overcome on engine power alone, without the help of legs. Models with engines of the same power may differ in this indicator (due to the difference in torque and wheel size).
Note that in the specifications the angle is usually indicated in degrees, while on road signs it is given as a percentage (1% corresponds to a rise of 1 m for every 100 m of horizontal movement). However, this moment is not particularly critical: if you often have to overcome a certain hill, you can clarify its slope by converting percentages into degrees (and vice versa) according to special tables. In addition, if the angle turns out to be too large, nothing prevents you from helping the scooter with your foot, in extreme cases, to overcome the climb on foot.

Voltage
In general, this parameter is of secondary importance; in fact, it is needed mainly when looking for a spare / replacement battery or a third-party charger. When choosing, it is worth paying attention to characteristics that are closer to practice - in particular, directly claimed speed and power reserve.
Handlebar height adjustment
The ability to change the height of the handlebar, adjusting it to the height of the user. This feature will be especially useful if the scooter is bought for several users of different heights or for a teenager who is still in the growth stage.
App control
Wireless pairing of an electric scooter with a smartphone is usually carried out via Bluetooth. Synchronization with a mobile device allows you to control many functions of the scooter, switch riding modes, block the engine, track mileage, keep control of the range and battery status. Also, the smartphone application usually displays trip statistics: mileage, average speed, distance covered, etc.
Turn signals
Turn signals warn other drivers of your intention to make a manoeuvre. The presence of turn signals is especially useful when driving on public roads — warning others about a change in trajectory in such conditions is never superfluous.
Dustproof, waterproof
The degree of protection against dust and moisture provided in the scooter.
This indicator is shown according to the IP standard and in the classic format is indicated by two numbers — for example, IP54. In this case, the first digit means the level of protection against dust and foreign objects, its value can be as follows:
- 4 - protection against foreign objects with a size of 1 mm or more;
- 5 - dust resistance (a small amount of dust can get inside, which does not affect the operation of the device);
- 6 - full dustproof.
The level of water protection, in turn, can be as follows:
- 4 - protection against splashes from any direction, allows you to endure rain without consequences;
- 5 - protection against water jets from any direction, resistance even to severe weather;
In some models, instead of the first digit, "X" is put - for example, IPX4. This means that dust resistance has not been tested, and only moisture resistance should be taken into account.

Clamp
- 2 bolts. Two-bolt handlebar clamps are common on entry-level models. As bolts, they most often use fasteners with an M8 thread.
- 3 bolts. The three-bolt clamp securely fixes the steering elements of the electric scooter, preventing the formation of backlash.
- 4 bolts. Reliable clamps with four fixing points allow the connections to resist loosening well. Bolts in such clamps are weakly subject to self-loosening.
