The KUKURIN M4 MAX: Where Heritage Meets Hyper-Performance

Why This Beast Just Became Europe’s Ultimate Commuter Weapon

Yo riders! Jamie here – been zipping through Berlin’s streets on e-scooters since they first hit EU shores. When KUKURIN dropped their new M4 MAX, I’ll admit I side-eyed the "upgraded classic" hype. Another refresh? But after 200km of testing from Lisbon hills to London drizzle, this ain’t your average sequel. Let’s cut through the fluff.

The DNA That Stuck (And Got Smarter)

KUKURIN didn’t ditch what worked:

That thumb throttle? Still buttery-smooth for acceleration bursts between traffic lights.

Twin-spring rear suspension – now 15% stiffer for pothole wars. Paired with the fork-front suspension, it handles Barcelona’s cobblestones like a champ.

10-inch self-sealing tyres (game-changer for wet tram tracks). No more praying at construction zones.

But here’s the glow-up:

Industrial Swagger, Unapologetically Loud

 



The M4 MAX metal side panels in urban settingX looks like it rolled out of a Hamburg steel mill. Those bare-metal side panels aren’t just pretty – they’re thicker gauge than last gen. Scratched ’em against a Dublin bike rack? Zero fades. No plasticky nonsense. This scooter screams "I’m built, not bought".

Night Rider Mode: Activated


Forget dim stock lights. The MAX’s triple-threat lighting is pure sorcery:

Headlight punches 30m ahead (tested in Amsterdam’s fog).

RGB underglow – toggle colors via handlebar. My midnight blue gets nods at red lights.

Turn signals actually visible in daylight (finally!).

Pro tip: The brake light flashes aggressively when slowing. Taxis actually stop now.

Power That Humiliates Hills

I took the MAX to Porto’s monster 20% gradients. Stats:

800W motor (peaks at 1000W)

48V battery – lasts me 3 days of 22km commutes

45km/h top speed (unlocked via app for private roads 😉)

But specs lie. Here’s reality:

Held 38km/h climbing Prague’s Nerudova Street. Tourists gaped.

Zero lag when overtaking bikes. That throttle response? Chef’s kiss.

Why This Isn’t Just "Another Scooter"

The M4 MAX fixes what EU riders hate:
 No creaky stems (double-locked folding mechanism)
 IP54 rating – survived Scottish sideways rain
 Actual suspension for medieval European roads

Is it perfect? At 24kg, it’s no featherweight. But that heft = stability when delivery vans blow past you.

Final Call

The M4 MAX feels like KUKURIN listened to real riders. Kept the soul (that addictive throttle, bombproof frame), dumped the weak spots (garbage lights, flimsy forks). For €899? It out-punches scooters costing €300 more.
