Pros and cons
Egret
Pros
- A 949 Wh battery with 100 km of claimed range, and a battery rank of 4 out of 20 brands.
- Suspension is fitted and folding is listed as yes, so one scooter covers rough commutes and train travel.
- Warranty of 24 months plus a spare parts shop, so wear parts come from the maker that built it.
Cons
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for anyone who wants to talk a fault through.
- Road legality is listed for de only, even though shipping reaches DE, AT and FR, so riders elsewhere must check local rules.
- At 21.8 kg it needs a two handed lift onto a rack or platform rather than a quick carry up a stair.
KuKirin-scooter
Pros
- Suspension is fitted and the brakes are disc, with solid solid tyres that take punctures out of daily running.
- It folds, weighs 16 kg and is rated for a load of 120 kg, so the same scooter handles a short hop and a heavier ride.
- A spare parts shop on the same site means tyres and brake parts can be reordered without chasing a third party.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so a rider with a fault writes and waits rather than picking up the phone.
- Road-legal status is listed for de alone, so anyone riding on public roads elsewhere is relying on their own local rules.
- Claimed range of 39 km covers a short hop rather than a long commute with hills or a heavy load.
