The first type is outdoor travelling: such as KZ series/Kmini series

KZ series is lighter, weighing less than 18kg, with a maximum range of 20km, and the battery meets the airline standard, so it can be carried on the plane, which is more convenient for your daily travelling.Kmini series is relatively heavier in weight, but it has a base and seat cushion which can be disassembled into two parts, and a bluetooth remote-control to enter the boot of an SUV, so there is no need for manual handling. Kmini series can be easily switched between front and rear drive, and the front drive has a stronger barrier-crossing ability, with a maximum barrier-crossing height of up to 80mm, so it can easily cope with different road conditions, allowing you to travel without worry.
