KuKirin M4 Max Ireland: Seated Electric Scooter Guide (Kugoo M4)
Want an electric scooter with a seat? The KuKirin M4 Max is a seated scooter with a 874 Wh battery, 10" tubeless tyres and front and rear suspension, at €549 from Lifty Electric in Ireland. It's the current version of the scooter many people still call the Kugoo M4 or Kugoo Kirin M4 Pro. Here's what it offers, how it differs from older M4 versions, and where you can legally ride it in Ireland.
Quick answer: the KuKirin M4 Max (€549) is a seated electric scooter with an 800W rated motor, a 48V 18.2Ah (874 Wh) battery, a claimed range of up to 64 km and a weight of 24.5 kg. It replaces the older Kugoo M4 / M4 Pro. It exceeds Ireland's 400W and 20 km/h e-scooter limits, so it is for private land only, not public roads.

KuKirin M4 Max vs Kugoo M4 Pro
The M4 family was first sold as the Kugoo M4 and Kugoo Kirin M4 Pro. The M4 Max is a newer specification, so check the battery, weight and tyres on the product page instead of relying on older M4 Pro reviews. Lifty sells the M4 Max; for older Kugoo M4 Pro scooters we stock parts such as the Kugoo M4 Pro motor and 10×3" M4 tyre, and repair them in our Dublin workshop.
Why choose a scooter with a seat?
- Comfort on longer rides: sitting takes the strain off your legs on long private-land routes.
- Stability: a lower centre of gravity can feel calmer for less confident riders.
- Flexibility: on the M4 Max you can still stand.
The trade-offs are a longer folded length (118 cm) and more bulk than a stand-up commuter scooter.
Can you ride a seated electric scooter on Irish roads?
Irish e-scooter rules limit public-road scooters to 400W continuous rated power, a 20 km/h design speed and 25 kg, for riders aged 18+ wearing a helmet and hi-vis. The M4 Max is rated at 800W with a claimed 45 km/h top speed, so it is for lawful private-land use only. Lowering the speed setting does not make it road-legal. For road commuting, see our regulations-ready electric scooters and e-scooter law guide.
