Hey what’s up? Sami here.
A couple of months ago I did a review of the Kugoo B1.
It’s lightweight, simple, and fun.
As I said in the video it’s not for everyone but for a specific niche, Kugoo did a good job on that.
Nevertheless, many people still find something is missing.
You see it looks like a bike but without pedals and chain those!
If so, why would I buy a traditional bike-look scooter instead of those cool, modern ones?
If it looks like a bike then it should have what all bikes have.
That’s what we are going to talk about in this video my friend, the Kugoo B1 Pro.
So first things first, let’s check out the differences between the B1 and the B1 Pro.
There are three major differences.
First of course is the design.
On the B1 Pro it features a nice piece of stainless-steel chain and real pedals.
Now you can finally pedal home if it’s run out of battery.
Then as you’d probably noticed that the B1 Pro sports two disc brakes,
which makes your ride much safer.
Move to the tire, the B1 Pro houses two 12’ CST pneumatic tires,
it looks bigger and thicker than its predecessor.
And bc of the design differences, the weight is a bit heavier than the B1,
but actually not much, only 3kg more, still portable.
Secondly, is the battery life and I think that’s probably the biggest difference.
On the B1 Pro it features a 10Ah battery, which gives you a max range of 40km
comparing to the 23km on its predecessor,
and that’s on pure electric mode.
Does the B1 Pro even have moped mode?
Yes, that’s the third difference we are going to talk.
The B1 Pro has moped mode,
that means when you are pedaling the bike it will give you a push feeling to help you pedal easier.
The official info claims that if you use the moped mode only
it will have a 50-60km range on a single charge.
That’s pretty amazing considering how tiny this bike is.
Those are basically the differences, while all others stay the same,
like the 120kg max load, the motor remains at 250w, the max speed is 25km/h, etc.
Now, about the riding experience.
With all those differences, it’s much better.
Now you have a choice to choose to pedal it
or just being lazy and let the bike do all the work,
and you just relax and enjoy the ride.
The battery life is a huge plus too。
With up to 60km range, you really don’t have to worry about using up the battery when you are riding.
It’s not as powerful as those crazy fast scooters like G2 Pro or gigantic e bikes like Fiido M1,
it’s fine to handle most city roads and climbs those not-too-steep slopes without too much difficulty.
Besides, it’s really lightweight comparing to most of the ebikes or e scooters we’ve seen on the market,
you can basically carry it anywhere you want, it’s perfect for your last mile commutes.
Enough about that.
You may just want to know my final buying suggestion on it, does the Kugoo B1 Pro worth the upgrade?
Well, to be honest, it’s not.
The B1 is selling at $393 on Geekbuying, while the Pro sells at $549,
I don’t think those upgrades worth $150.
Besides there will be a tool kit that’s about to be available on Geekbuying
to let you add a chain, pedals those to become a normal bike.
It should cost you much less.
If you have the Kugoo B1 then pass the B1 Pro.
But if you ask me does the Kugoo B1 Pro worth 549 bucks?
Yes, it is. The price is quite friendly among all e bikes with the same specs
based on the searches I did.
It may look not that fast or powerful,
but it’s portable, it’s agile and most importantly, it gets the job done!
Perfect for city roads or short trips.
Recently Kugoo sent us an extra baby seat - hopefully it gets on Geekbuying as soon as possible -
that I can put my two-year-old daughter Cristina on comfortably, which I love it.
It is always a great joy to have some fun with your kids in this fast-paced urban life,
put your phone or work down and enjoy some quality family time.
Alright, that’s the video.
