what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the latest electric scooter from KuKirin the one that we have here today it's called
the M5 Pro this is a scooter that's powered by a 1200 watt motor that's in the rear wheel here
and this is a scooter that was mostly designed to be used as a seat on scooter so this was designed
to be used like this personally I'm not a fan of this sitting position on a scooter I don't think
it looks that cool but you can also use this as a regular scooter and I've actually done that
um for the first couple of days when I got this so you can also remove the seat so you
don't necessarily have to have the seat here this is also foldable so it folds but you can remove
it all all together so you have four screws at the bottom here and you can just remove those and then
you can use it as a regular scooter but keep in mind that this was mostly designed as a seat on
scooter according to the running factor of the top speed for this electric scooter is 56 kilometers
an hour but personally the fastest I've seen this scooter going was 41 kilometers an hour so nowhere
close to that 56 however maybe I'm a bit heavier maybe I wasn't riding on a perfectly flat surface
so a lot of factors couldn't come into play on one charge the scooter can get somewhere between 40 to
70 kilometers of range now of course once again it depends how heavy you are it depends on what
kind of terrain you're riding and of course the temperature because if it's cold outside you're
gonna get less range the battery pack is located here so you're basically sitting on top of the
battery pack the charging port is on this side here and it takes about nine hours to charge this
from zero to a hundred but then you do get about 50 kilometers on one charge the M5 Pro is also a
folding scooter so we have the folding mechanism right here we basically have a safety pimp here
and then you push on this and then the scooter Falls the seat assembly here also folds now the
downside with this scooter so yes you can fold it but the downside the scooter is the weight so
this weights 36 some kilos or just over 36 kilos I believe that's somewhere around 80 pounds so it
is an extremely heavy scooter you're not going to be able to carry this pretty much anywhere because
it is crazy crazy and heavy with that being said let's start with a bit of an unboxing just so I
can show you how this comes packed in the box and what you have to do to put it together when you
take it out of the box all right so as you'd expect it comes in a pretty massive box and
of course the box is also pretty heavy and you do have to do a bit of an installation unfortunately
the user manual is not that useful so you basically have to put the handlebar together
you have to put the seat together and you also have to put them together the box that we have
on the back of the scooter here now this box is a very neat idea I haven't seen a scooter that has
one of these storage boxes on it but the downside to having this box is the fact that it makes so
much noise even if it's empty just makes a lot of noise if you're not riding over a perfectly
flat and nice surfaces so if you're riding on any rocks or any surface that's uneven it does make a
lot of noise and I think I'm actually gonna remove it even though it could be a very handy thing to
have on a scooter because this so you can store some things in here so we do have a key for it
and it is fairly big but you're not going to be able to fit the bottle of wine and it is not long
enough just in case you're wondering and this closes like this and you can also use this as
a seat for a passenger now personally I wouldn't take anyone on the back of my scooter but I guess
there are people that would do that since we are on the back here we might as well talk about the
rear wheel so first of all we have a mud guard here so the scooter is not going to Splash mod
them ever this is a 10 inch wheel this is also a bit wider than most scooters some out there on the
right hand side here even though you cannot see it from that side we have a disc brake these are
mechanical brakes so the harder you pull on those brake levers the faster you'll stop of course and
inside here we also have the 1200 watt motor so this scooter does have plenty of power there is
also a rear suspension here and of course this helps a lot mostly when you are riding on the
scooter sitting down because that helps a lot the seat also has a bit of a spring I can't
really push it down I have to sit on its own I can show you how that spring works but basically when
you're sitting on it are riding I'm sitting on the scooter it is a very comfortable ride it doesn't
feel bumpy or anything like that on the back here we also have the rear light we actually have three
rear lights so we have one light on this side one light on this side and the big rear light right
here and the rear light also acts as a brake light so whenever you're breaking that light on the back
will Flash and whenever you're riding at night yes it is a very bright light and the scooter can be
easily seen the footboard here is also wider than most other scooters that I got to try in the past
and of course that has a lot to do the fact that this is uh mostly a seat on scooter but as I said
you can ride this as a regular scooter and I did do that on a few occasions interesting enough The
Handlebar here can also be adjusted in height so I believe this is the highest it will go but you can
also have it lower so it really depends how tall you are if you are write this standing or sitting
so you can lower this or make it higher depending on your knees it's very simple to do that
so this is the lowest it will go and I believe this is the highest it will go somewhere around
here when you're folding this you're also gonna have to adjust the handlebar so of course folding
this it's quite simple we have the safety pin right here and then you just step on this here
and the scooter will fault to open it you basically push like that and it will remain
open the folding mechanism here is really nice it doesn't shake in any way it doesn't matter
what kind of terrain you're riding over so it is a very nice folding mechanism on it on the front
here we have an 11 inch wheel so the front wheel is slightly larger than the rear wheel maybe this
makes some riding over certain surfaces a bit easier and then we have this super cool front
suspension this is probably the coolest suspension that I've seen on any scooter and when you combine
that with these massive light that we have here the lights are also very bright and you
can actually adjust them so there are a couple of modes you can use them like the maximum power or
a bit lower but they're very visible during the day so even if you ride on a super sunny day you
can easily see this just in case you're wondering now the floor suspension here definitely helps but
it helps more on your riding on the scooter as a seat on scooter so if you're riding as a regular
scooter you will find the suspension is kind of hard but if you are riding as the scooter
was designed to be used then the front suspension does work much much better so that's why I said
this scooter is mostly designed to be used as a seat on scooter but as I said many many times
I'm not a fan of this look here it does look a bit like one of those mobility scooters I'm gonna say
so maybe when I'm 60 so not that far from now I will be riding this scooter like this
moving back to our front wheel for a second of course we also have this plastic mud Garden
here and on this side even though you cannot see it from that side we do have a mechanical disc
brake the braking power on this is really good I haven't had any issues whenever I'm braking
so the harder you press on this you can definitely lock the front and the rear wheels so really good
brakes on it but it would have been interesting to see hydraulic brakes because the prices of
these scooters well they're pretty high so it would be nice to see hydraulic brakes in the
future at some point the kickstand is on the left hand side there it is mostly made out of material
entirely made out of metal I should say and it is a really nice kickstand whenever you have
the scooter sitting on it the scooter doesn't seem to move if it's windy it will not move so
a very sturdy kickstand I'm gonna say all right and that brings us to the top here The Handlebar
so The Handlebar is nice and wide so when you're sitting on the scooter here you do have a pretty
decent position I did notice however that whenever I'm riding on the scooter I'm standing up so not
sitting down I find that The Handlebar is not tall enough for me I mean it could have been like this
much higher so it can make my riding experience better so as I said this is definitely designed as
a seat on a scooter on the left hand side here we have a couple of buttons we have the horn
the horn is not allowed this horn that I've heard we have the button for the headlight and the rear
light then we have the display in the center here and even though this is a pretty nice and big
display to show you the speed it will show you the voltage it will show you what modem you're in and
of course how much battery you have it's not the brightest screen out there so if you're riding on
a super sunny day like today for example it is a bit difficult on seeing the display there so
I wish they would have used a different type of display so it can be seen better during the day
on the right hand side here we have the ignition so it's nice that this scooter has an ignition
with a lot of scooters you don't get this so you do have two keys so you basically have to turn
it on every time you wanna use it otherwise you cannot use it and here we have the accelerator
and of course uh the mod button so you basically put the ignition on then you hold the mode button
press for about three seconds then the scooter turns on and you can change mods now the modes
don't have anything with the Scooter's Powers so you have the same power in every mode the
modes only limit the top speed and according to manufacturers I said earlier the top speed should
be 56 kilometers an hour even though I never got to see that myself alright so next I'm gonna take
you for a super short ride just so you can see how the scooter rides how it accelerates and so on
I'll probably use the seat for this video so I'm basically gonna grab that camera and I'll put it
on my chest here and I'll show you how this goes riding uphill is definitely better than a lot of
scooters that I've seen but it will depend a lot on what kind of Hill you're riding how steep the
hill is and how heavy you are so this does better than many other scooters that I've tried but on
certain hills around here because as you can see we have if Laura can turn the camera this way
we do have a lot of Hills everywhere so on these kind of Hills while the scooter doesn't do that
that great so we probably need something with like 2 000 watts of power so it can go up all
these um Hills not to mention that the battery does take a hit whenever you're riding on these
Hills all right so let me show you that quick recording and um I'll be right back all right
so let's go for a little ride so we have the ignition here here um you basically turn that
on then you hold the button pressed here for about three seconds and then you can change mods and now
we're in mode number three I'm not sure if you can actually see the display I can see it fine
but I'm not sure how to look on the camera so to get going you basically just Accelerate from here
so 25 kilometers an hour 28 it is a bit Smoky around here
and also quite uh windy
and I'm not sure if you can actually hear that box the storage box on the
back that kind of makes a noise I personally cannot stand that noise
so we have a bit of a hill here well it's downhill but we're gonna go back shortly
so we'll turn around somewhere around here
and we'll go this way so you can see how it does going up that little Hill
so for Hills like this no problems and whatsoever
but if it's a steeper Hill of course it will be a bit more challenging for the scooter
so yeah plenty of power for pretty much any situation and you can
definitely keep up with traffic we're doing about 38 kilometers an hour 39
and that's how it breaks basically so yeah this is how you draw down this scooter
so there you have it this is the kukirin M5 Pro if you are looking for a scooter that you want
to ride comfortably so basically a seat on scooter definitely consider this one but if you're looking
for a scooter that you like riding normally like standing up like most scooters out there I don't
recommend this scooter this is clearly designed to be used mostly as a seat on a scooter alright
guys hopefully you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
