KuKirin G2 Max vs G2 Master vs G3 Pro: Which Dual-Motor Scooter Is Right for You?
Last updated: 13 October 2026 · Specifications and prices checked in September 2026. These models exceed the 20/25 km/h road-legal classes in Germany, France and Spain; they are intended for private land and off-road use.
Short answer: The G2 Max is the best value single-motor scooter at around €649. The G2 Master is the cheapest way to get dual 1000W motors, with 60 km/h and strong climbing for about €839. The G3 Pro is the premium choice: dual 1200W motors, a 52V 23Ah battery, up to 80 km of claimed range, 65 km/h and oil brakes for about €1,159.
All three scooters look similar on a product page, but they target different riders. One is a value cruiser, one is a dual-motor all-rounder, and one is a long-range performance machine. This comparison uses the current EU specifications so you can choose without overpaying for features you will not use.

Motor and speed: single versus dual
The G2 Max uses one 1000W motor. It reaches 55 km/h and has enough torque for city streets, gravel paths and moderate hills. For most riders who do not need to climb long steep slopes, the single motor is lighter and draws less battery at the same speed.
The G2 Master adds a second 1000W motor. Total output is 2000W, and top speed rises to 60 km/h. The real benefit is not the extra 5 km/h — it is acceleration and traction. With both motors working, the scooter pulls harder from a stop and keeps speed on loose surfaces and inclines.
The G3 Pro goes further with two 1200W motors. It reaches 65 km/h and offers the strongest climbing ability of the three, especially in dual-drive mode. If your rides include long climbs, heavy rider weight or a mix of road and rough terrain, the extra motor power is noticeable.
Battery, range and charging
The G2 Max and G2 Master both use 20.8Ah batteries, but the Master runs at 52V instead of 48V. Higher voltage means more energy for acceleration without as much voltage sag under load. Both are rated at a claimed 70 km range; expect roughly 45–55 km in real mixed riding.
The G3 Pro uses a larger 52V 23Ah battery and claims 80 km. That is about 10% more capacity than the Master, and the difference matters if you ride in dual-motor mode or carry a heavy load. The G3 Pro also ships with two chargers and charges in about 6–7 hours, while the G2 models take around 10–11 hours with a single charger.
| Real-world range estimate | G2 Max | G2 Master | G3 Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| City, single motor | 50–55 km | 50–55 km | 60–65 km |
| Mixed riding | 40–50 km | 40–50 km | 50–60 km |
| Hard off-road / dual motor | 30–40 km | 30–40 km | 40–50 km |
Brakes, tyres and control
All three use front and rear brakes with a power-off cut. The G2 Max and G2 Master use disc brakes; the G3 Pro upgrades to oil brakes, which resist fade better during long descents and need less hand force. If you ride steep trails regularly, that upgrade alone can justify the price difference.
The G2 Max and G3 Pro use pneumatic off-road tyres, which absorb bumps well. The G2 Master uses vacuum tyres, which are less prone to pinch flats but feel firmer. All three run 10-inch tyres, so they handle kerbs and gravel better than smaller urban wheels.
Which one should you buy?
| Choose | If you… |
|---|---|
| G2 Max | Want the best value, mostly ride on paved or light gravel surfaces, and do not need dual-motor traction. |
| G2 Master | Want dual-motor performance under €900, climb hills, or ride loose surfaces where traction matters. |
| G3 Pro | Want maximum range, the strongest brakes and climbing ability, and ride long off-road routes. |
The G2 Max is the smart buy for a first performance scooter. The G2 Master is the sweet spot for hills and mixed terrain. The G3 Pro is the long-distance machine: you pay more, but you get a bigger battery, more power and oil brakes.
Road legality: read this before buying
These are not 20/25 km/h commuter scooters. In Germany, the legal eKF class stops at 20 km/h with ABE. In France and Spain, VMP rules cap road-legal scooters at 25 km/h. The G2 Max, G2 Master and G3 Pro are therefore private-land and off-road machines in these countries.
If you need a road-legal scooter, choose the G2 Pro ABE for Germany or the G2 Pro VMP for France and Spain. They keep the same build quality while staying inside the legal speed class.
FAQ
Is the G3 Pro worth the extra money over the G2 Master?
Yes if you need more range, stronger climbing or oil brakes. For shorter rides and occasional hills, the G2 Master offers most of the performance for around €300 less.
Does dual motor drain the battery faster?
Yes. Using both motors increases consumption, especially during hard acceleration. The G3 Pro offsets this with a larger 23Ah battery; the G2 Master still gives around 40–50 km in mixed use.
Can I ride these scooters on public roads?
Not in Germany, France or Spain, where the road-legal classes are limited to 20 km/h and 25 km/h. Use them on private land or approved off-road areas, and check local rules.
