KuKirin G2 Pro VMP Review: The Smart Choice for EU Commuters
Introduction: The EU-Compliant Scooter You Have Been Waiting For
If you live in Europe and want an electric scooter, you have probably faced the same frustration: the models with the best specs are often illegal on public roads. They exceed the 25 km/h limit, and riding them means risking fines or confiscation .
The KuKirin G2 Pro VMP solves this problem. It is a legally compliant scooter that does not compromise on quality, range, or ride comfort. Whether you are in Spain, Germany, or France, this is the scooter that keeps you moving — without the legal headaches .
This review covers everything you need to know: specifications, real-world performance, legal compliance, and how it compares to other versions. Let us dive in.
What Makes the G2 Pro VMP Special?
The G2 Pro VMP is not just another scooter. It is a purpose-built EU-compliant model available in two certified versions:
| Version | Certification | Target Market | Top Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| G2 Pro VMP | DGT VMP | Spain | 25 km/h |
| G2 Pro ABE | ABE | Germany | 20 km/h |
Both versions share the same hardware — the difference is the speed limit and certification paperwork. This means you get the same premium build quality, range, and features, just with the legal speed limit for your country .
Core Specifications
European Compliance: The VMP and ABE Certifications
VMP — Spanish DGT Certification
The VMP (Vehículo de Movilidad Personal) certification comes from Spain's DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) . It confirms that the G2 Pro VMP meets all Spanish legal requirements for personal mobility vehicles.
What this means for you:
-
No registration or licence required in most cases
ABE — German Certification
The ABE (Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis) version is tailored for the German market, with a lower 20 km/h speed to comply with strict German regulations .
Real-World Performance in European Cities
Paris — Cobblestones and Narrow Streets
The G2 Pro VMP's 9-inch vacuum tyres and dual spring suspension make light work of Paris's cobblestones . The 25 km/h speed is perfect for navigating tight streets without feeling underpowered.
Madrid — Urban Commuting
Madrid's mix of new roads and old districts demands versatility. The 65 km range covers most daily commutes 2–3 times over. The 22.3 kg weight is manageable for carrying up stairs or onto the Metro .
Berlin — City and Cycle Paths
The ABE version's 20 km/h speed keeps you legal on German roads and cycle paths. The full-colour LCD display and IP54 waterproof rating make it practical for Berlin's unpredictable weather .
G2 Pro VMP vs Standard G2 Pro: What Is the Difference?
| Feature | G2 Pro (Standard) | G2 Pro (VMP) |
|---|---|---|
| Top Speed | 45 km/h | 25 km/h |
| Motor | 600W | 500W |
| Certification | None | DGT VMP |
| Legal in Spain | ❌ | ✅ |
| Turn Signals | Yes | Yes |
| Seat Included | Yes | Yes |
| Range | 58 km | 65 km |
The VMP version trades top speed for legal compliance. The reduced speed also extends the range slightly, as lower speeds consume less battery .

Urban commuters who want a reliable, legal scooter
