Hey what’s up? Sami here with Geekbuying, today we are going to take a look at the new Kugoo G-booster scooter!
This beast goes up to 55km/h and has a range of 85km on a single charge!
It also has dual 800 watt motors to power it through all types of terrain.
Let’s take a look!
First things first, let’s unbox it. I gotta say the box is pretty heavy weighing 38kg in total,
and for the scooter its self, it weighs 30kg.
Inside the box you’ll find a manual, a phone bracket, a screwdriver, a bell that produces pretty clear sound
and of course, a charger.
While we are struggling to get the scooter out, we see a tube and a detachable seat in the package as well.
That’s all for what’s in the box.
Now move to the scooter. Get rid of the foam protection first,
unfold it, screw tight the screws on the front handlebar, don’t forget to install the bell BTW
While for the seat, you can choose either to install or not depending on how you like to commute
Lastly, correct the position of the two lights, otherwise， they’ll shoot right into the sky instead of lightning the road.
Done! Now you are ready to go.
But before that, let’s go over the design.
Starting from the bottom, the Kugoo G booster features two 10” pneumatic tires,
that means they can easily absorb bumps in the road and give you a stable and smooth riding experience,
what’s better, both tires are equipped with disc and electronic brakes, which will make your ride even more secure.
Taking a look at the deck, we see that is lined with extra tactile grip-tape.
On the front, we see the folding mechanism which is quite simple, just screw it in tight.
It has two 10 watt lights, they are really bright, don’t stare directly at them.
You will also find two more lights located at the front of the deck.
Of course, it comes with rear red taillights as well, which will make you more visible to other vehicles at night.
Finally, on to the handlebar, two hand brakes, two physical buttons,
the yellow one is for the lights, it has three modes: bright, less bright and flickering,
the red one is for you to switch between dual motor and single motor, press down switch to dual motor power,
press up to engage just 1 motor to cut the power in half
This power limiting feature helps you dial in the appropriate amount of power for the situation.
Thumbs up for that!
Then there is the LCD panel, on the side it has three physical keys: up, power key and down key.
The panel shows battery, speed, voltage and speed modes,
Mode 1 gets you up to around 12 mph (20 km/h),
Mode 2 bumps it up to 25 mph (40 km/h),
and Mode 3 gets you all the way up to 34 mph (55 km/h) on flat ground.
The overall build quality is legit, the polished shell, sleek color matching, the premium metal structure engineered for strength and speed.
Definitely the G-booster is not something they just stuff high power motors into a light and small scooter frame,
it’s totally redesigned.
The G-Booster is really heavy, but that’s actually a good thing, it makes the riding feel more safe, solid and stable
– three important factors for a high-speed scooter like this.
The first time you use, make sure it is fully charged, it should take less than 10 hours.
Get the scooter key out that comes with the package,
simply press the Unlock button,then short press twice on the lightning icon button, you will hear a beep,
long press the middle key on the LCD panel.
Last press the throttle
There you go.
But I gotta warn you, since the two motors are so potent, don’t full-throttle it, it requires a gentle touch
Last but not least is the overall riding experience.
Due to its overwhelming 800 watt dual motors and the awesome suspension,
it generates a pretty smooth and stable ride on almost any terrain,
from rugged, muddy mountain road to smooth city road, u name it.
With the amazing torque the dual motors generate you can climb almost slop that would be impossible for most scooters,
you can hit beams and curbs like they aren’t even there
Of course, I’m not suggesting you do so deliberately, but when u run into such dicey situations, this thing could scoot out of them.
The first time I saw KUGOO G BOOSTER, I was like holy smokes, that’s too dangerous, why would anyone need a such high powerful scooter?
But after several months of riding, now I can’t live without it!
One thing for sure, this G-Booster is not for everyone, it is heavier than most scooters
so it is not convent if you are constantly folding it and storing it.
If you want a light weight scooter to help you on your commute I suggest the Kugoo s1 or s1 pro,
they are loved by urban commuters around the world.
Why do I like G booster so much?
Because with such powerful motors, it opens up a lot of possibilities,
do want to unleash your inner speed demon and have extreme fun? the G-Booster can do just that.
Want to climb dirt or grassy hills? That is no problem with the G-Booster.
Or do u just need some extra power to get out of a sticky situations while you are commuting?
If so, the G-boosted is perfect for you.
Whether you want a scooter for recreational off-road riding or to use as a legit on-road commuter,
the G booster is designed to handle it.
You are going to love the stable, smooth and safe riding experience on it.
That’s all for the Kugoo G booster review, I hope you enjoyed the video as much as I enjoyed riding it,
