Mangosteen

Pros and cons
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.

Pros
- Entry price of €488 sits under the €876.09 typical of brands listed here
- Removable battery and a throttle make top-ups and standing starts easy on the listed models
- Hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless tires and suspension are standard fittings rather than paid extras

- Sales run direct, so a test ride or workshop visit has to be arranged with the company itself
- Finance is not offered, so the full €3,999.99 has to be paid up front
