Recorded category
Unverified / pending confirmation, according to the IsItRoadLegal.ie re-verification of 31 Oct 2026 (IRL Re-verifier). This is our own check of the maker's published sources, not a ruling by any authority. No class is shown until the manufacturer confirms.
Why it is pending: the maker's own EU sources do not agree on the speed of the EU unit.
- The maker's EU product page lists "Maxium speed 45km/h" and gears "1st,2nd,3rd (65kg load) 25km/h,35km/h,45km/h". It also gives this step: "5. Press and hold the brake, click the multi-function button four times in a row to switch the speed limit mode." The page does not say what this mode unlocks on the EU-sold unit, or which mode is the factory default (KuKirin EU product page).
- The maker's EU manual, which includes an "EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY", gives "Max velocity: ≤ 25km/h" and states "Electric Scooter：EN 17128:2020 / BS EN 17128:2020 PLEV Class 2" (KuKirin G2 manual (PDF)).
Under our evidence rules, a conflict between the maker's own sources on a limit field leaves the model unclear until the manufacturer confirms. A question to the manufacturer is pending: which mode is the factory default on the unit sold in the EU and Ireland, and what the speed-limit-mode switch unlocks. Until then, the conflicting speed, power, weight and size figures below are shown as they are published and are not used to give a class.
