This right here is the Kugoo Kirin G3 it's a powerful off-road scooter
rear-wheel drive rear hub motor up to 1200 watts i'll put this one so very powerful and it can
propel this scooter up to 50 kilometers per hour i'll be testing out the top speed in this indepth
review i'll be taking it off-roading i'm up here in the mountain with some light gravel
trails here that are a little bit rocky and i'll see how the g3 is going to perform with this
now with this scooter here we've got 10.5 inch wheels they are 2.75 inch wide and you
can see they've got a really nice off-road chunky tread pattern to them so clearly
designed to be taking a little bit off road giving us a lot more traction than road tyres
now on the rear here we do have a mud guard and it's the same deal we've only got around about an
inch and an inch and a half of travel we do have a sturdy kickstand that can support the 25 kilo
weight of this scooter and a rear tail light now i really do wish that this tower light was a little
bit brighter the leds that they used within it the side strips these do light up so we have in total
seven leds and you can cycle through the different modes with the scooter to have just the front on
or the front and rear and the sides too and both the front and back we have mechanical disc brakes
here i would have personally preferred hydraulic but as you see later on with my brake test
they actually do perform quite well and give us sufficient braking distances the motor used in
the g3 here is a powerful 1200 watt one now we do have with this an 18 amp hour battery with
ranges claimed up to about 75 kilometers which are possible if you're riding mostly on the flat
in mode two on the right you'll find our charging port here there is a little dust and waterproof
cap that goes over that to keep any muck out of it now the charge time of the 18 amp hour battery is
around about 10 hours now up the front we have a reflector here now this does screw out and allow
us to fold down and collapse the handlebars for easy stowage or to get it into a car for example
now the way this slots into place and then is screwed in it's very tight there's no play in this
it is not going to go anywhere and i really do like it it makes it feel more sturdy and safer
than other designs of larger scooters that i've reviewed now the deck on this one is wide enough
for my feet without a problem but i do wish it went a little bit longer but further back
but we do have this kick on the end of it that is great for of course the rear taillights but
not only that you can use it to quite easily pull wheel stands with relative ease now we don't have
any lock grips with this one but they're all right they're not going anywhere we've got our power
on button accelerator this is our front brake and then a very large display with all our information
so we've got our current motor temperature and kilometers down that's odometer and that right
there is our voltage battery remaining percent here 61 percent speed obviously you can change
this into miles per hour we can cycle through the three different light modes so front light only
front and rear and then all of the lights which includes the side lights there's gonna be seven
in total now the mode that's to go through our different power modes so mode one tapping that
that's just up to 25 kilometers per hour mode two is 35 kilometers per hour mode 3 is 50 kilometers
per hour maximum acceleration to that now holding this down we can enable the cruise control mode so
it will lock that speed as long as you leave the accelerator down for three seconds and here we do
have a kickstart disable mode which is currently on i find that a little bit dangerous if you
hold set you can disable that which is by default that's turned off that means if i press this now
nothing is going to happen but if i do disable the kickstart you can simply just press down on
the accelerator and away you go over the side here we have a bell okay and it doesn't seem to
be working on my one for some reason it's broken oh there we go i need to release it flick it off
and then our rear brake which also enables the electric brake right now on to my actual tests
of this to tell you a little bit of what it's like to ride the g3 here so we can either set this to
be kickstart mode on for safety i think it's best so if you just push that trigger nothing is going
to happen which is i think it's safer because you can accidentally knock it when it's on and it
will just take off and or end up ripping out your shoulder blade or hurting you or running off so i
don't have that disabled so you need to kick off a little bit and then you simply press down and away
you go here so i'm currently in mode one now mode one that is going to get me up to kilometers per
hour that is the maximum speed there we also do have mo 2 is up to 35 kilometers per hour
and then mode 3 is right up to 50 54 an empty car park well no one around i will of course
test out the top speed not around somewhere like this so i'm going to keep it in mode one here
i'm not too sure what she's laughing at so it's very very smooth here and
really quite nice just cruising along you can i enable the enable the cruise control mode too
as well which was now i've locked in that speed so i do have a little bit of rough terrain here
but i'm going to take it off-road properly soon but just to see what it's like with
this bit here so a bit of a drop not a problem for these nice chunky wheels to go down here
that nice tread pattern and now a bit of a climb here with some light gravel and just a few stones
it's really easy for this it just goes up this tiny little climb here with absolute ease nothing
like those smaller scooters which tend to struggle a little bit this is cruising along nicely without
any problems at all so you can hit that motor a little bit when you get up to the higher speeds
you definitely hear the chunkier tyres making quite a bit of noise with their rolling resistance
not being so great on the road but it's good that you can be heard too when you're going along
all right so here we go mode three now the screen will probably be a little bit hard to see with my
gopro but i'll be reading out the speed to you so let's go kick off accelerate 20 kilometers 30
33 35 it's very windy at the moment 40.
this is the only place i'll do this kind of speeds is in an open car park like this so up to
47 running out of road but you can get it up to 50 kilometers per hour which is
pretty crazy to be going at that kind of speed on only 10.5 inch wheels
okay so what about braking top speed can get up to 50 slightly over so i'm at 40 now and
i'm going to slow down a little bit to about well there we go 40 from this point on maximum
braking and look at that it just stops that's nothing it stops so quick that is literally
three scooter lengths it takes to stop this thing at 40 kilometers per hour so
even though it's just mechanical disc brakes that this has i find they perform really well
you can probably hear those tyres now make a little bit of noise
so very easy going along here nice and smooth nice and wide and really happy
with the the breaking performance here so i've made it to the end of the coast and after this
we'll head up to the mountain quite a bit climb but take it off-road and see how it does perform
so ahead of me i have a very tricky climb as you can see it's rough terrain it's all gravel
loose rock i'm gonna have to select my path carefully so i'm using mode three here
and that should be able to get me up this but let's see how it feels i'm gonna kick
off to start with then accelerate now i've got a couple of little curves or little jumps to go up
okay a little bit of slippage then it's getting out the back wheel
but it's doing this really well currently about 20 kilometers full throttle here
and there's no way you could do this on a little xiaomi scooter so let's see how we go up this bump
oh just just doing this and be careful of course turning on loose gravel that the front wheel's
not going to skid out but hey this is doing a really good job of going up and navigating here
this very rough terrain lots of loose gravel rocks so it can do a little bit off-roading like this
as long as it's not too lumpy too bumpy and just light gravel which i have here
now the final verdict on the g3 here is i think that this is a fantastic scooter it's really good
the build quality is excellent i love the top speed it's very fast it can get scary fast and
that's why i have a full face helmet and i've been riding it around here off-road so it can get up
to as i showed you about 50 kilometers per hour in fact over that at times so really really quick and
dangerous so this is not a toy here so the brakes on even though they're just mechanical disc brakes
i did not expect them to be as good as they are they're actually not bad at all and i would not
have a problem and i don't think i would want to upgrade them to hydraulics because you probably
wouldn't notice too much of a difference i don't think it's actually needed there
so the chunky tyres did help a lot with especially around this area going up the loose gravel parts
uh definitely a lot more grip than road tires would have been slipping a lot and it probably
wouldn't have been possible for me to climb up here without just bogging down and skidding out
completely now you must be very careful with that front wheel on the loose gravel if you
do intend to do a bit of light off-roading on this on gravel roads just be careful on
those loose patches that front wheel has a tendency to want to get away from you and
if you brake on that front wheel especially if you ride off-road bikes you know what i'm
talking about loose gravel is super dangerous for front wheel braking you just don't do it
because it's going to go like that okay and you'll face plant the ground so full face helm
highly recommended protection gear knee pads and things like that too if you want to go a step up
if you're going to be taking a few risks there now the travel on it is the biggest criticism from me
with this suspension set up if you can even really call it suspension it's more of a dampness system
so it gives us about an inch and a half of travel and really i feel for a heavy scooter like this
well it adds to stability when you're doing the high speeds it feels very stable you don't get any
speed wobbles going up and over bumps and things or tiny little potholes you really do feel it
and i wish it was just a little softer the suspension it is a bit rough going at times with
it i also do wish that it had an ignition here removable key so you could turn it off and then
no one can just power it on because as it is right now you can someone can come along and just simply
press the button power it on and take off and go i love the large dis display on this we've got great
lights at the front the back light could be a little bit better i do find this one to be
a little dim i mean it's better than nothing but i really wish they'd put a more powerful
led in there for the lights so there we go that's the full story of the kirin g3 oh range i'm able
to get at least about 70 kilometers out of this one and at times i'm only losing 10 battery per 10
kilometers so i could see this using it on the flat that is of going for up to maybe
80 even 90 kilometers of course it depends on the rider's weight there so thanks a lot for watching
this review i do hope to see you in the next up-and-coming e-bike and scooter reviews from me
