what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the kukirin G3 electric scooter so this is an electric scooter that's powered by a 1200 watt
motor that's in the rear wheel we get a range of up to 70 kilometers on one charge and a top speed
of 50 kilometers an hour now this scooter has been available for a few months now I'm only getting to
try it now and I've already got to try the G3 Pro which of course is like the bigger brother this
is also more expensive it has more power and so on so the G3 here is about half the price of the
G3 Pro so is it worth spending the extra money to get the G3 Pro well we are definitely gonna
find out in today's video all right let's start 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 get it ready and on the road okay so fairly
big box as you'd expect the box is also pretty heavy so the scooter itself actually weighs
25 kilo so this is not going to be that easy to carry around this is also foldable and scooter it
actually comes folded in the box and you do have to do a bit of an installation but you should be
ready and on the road in about 10 minutes you basically have to put a handle bottom together
but it's very fast and easy to do the scooter has 10 and a half inflatable tires on the front and of
course on the back and we also get a more off-road profile for these tires I'm gonna say so yes you
can do a bit of off-roading with these tires so they're slightly bigger than the tires that you're
gonna find on most scooters we also have a front and rear suspension and of course the inflatable
tires and that front and rear suspension you're gonna have a pretty comfortable ride this is
probably one of the most comfortable scooters that I got to try the deck here is also fairly
wide so you can definitely have both your feet fitting on the deck here because it is fairly
wide and long and at the back here we have another part of the deck so whenever you're riding when
you're accelerating faster you can kind of keep a foot on the back there and this way you're gonna
be able to lean on back um a bit this is also covered by Rubber so even if your feet are wet
or something like that you are not gonna slip from this as you've probably noticed by now on
the front here and of course on the back we have disc brakes these are mechanical disc brakes and
with many scooters when you have mechanical disc brakes you kind of feel the need for hydraulic
brakes well that's not really the case with this one so the brakes on it do work really really well
it doesn't matter what speed you're going you can brake and it will break really really quick
you can actually lock the front and rear wheels if you pull on those levers hard enough on the
back here we also have a plastic mud guard so if you ride over water for example you're not gonna
Splash yourself and on the front the mud guard is actually built in the Scooter's frame in a
way I'm gonna say so yes you can ride over water and you shouldn't get yourself all dirty with that
so as I mentioned earlier this is a foldable scooter as well now the folding mechanism
here will take a bit longer than most other scooters to fold so you have to start doing this
so it takes a bit of time to fold this so after you unscrew this forum a little while
then you can kind of fold the scooter now the latching mechanism is a bit unusual I'm gonna
say so normally you'd find this attached here and then you can kind of latch these
together I'm not a fan of this though because when you have it attached to the scooter here
and you're riding it just flaps constantly so actually remove the mine but yes you could have
this fold this and carry it around but as I said the scooter is fairly heavy so you're
probably not going to want to carry this for long on periods of time unfolding this
of course is pretty easy you lift this up and then you're gonna have to screw this back in
and of course once this is screwed in the folding mechanism here doesn't move in any way it doesn't
create any vibration doesn't shake doesn't have any play so in a way yes I am happy with this
folding mechanism because it's very sturdy it doesn't move but at the same time it takes a bit
longer than usual to fold the scooter for light so you have a couple of lights on the front and
at the bottom of the scooter here if you do write an item it lights up The Path ahead of you really
well and we also have a couple of lights on the sides here however the side lights you're not
gonna see them unless you ride them at night and of course on the back here we have another LED and
that one also acts as a brake light so whenever you pull on these brake levers that will light up
so if someone is behind you they will see that they are breaking the battery pack is located
in the deck here so you're basically standing on top of that battery pack the charge port is here
this has a rubber flap so you can cover that so you don't get the dust and water in there now on
one charge one charge does take about nine hours so you basically have to charge this overnight
and on one charge you can get about 50 kilometers maybe 60 depending where you're riding if you're
riding at the top speed if you are riding uphill and of course how heavy you are so you should
be able to get about 50 kilometers of range on one charge as for the top speed and power well
the fastest I've seen this scooter going was 48 kilometers an hour so I'm assuming that if it's
someone a bit lighter than me you will get to that 50 kilometers that's the manufacturer claim so no
problem now for power if you do ride on a flat surface there is plenty of powers no no issues
whatsoever you can definitely keep up with traffic but I did notice that whenever you go on steeper
inclines the scooter does slow down quite a lot and if the hill is steep enough it will
actually stop something that never happens with a more expensive G train Pro that I have right
behind me here moving on to the handle bar here well first of all the handlebar is nice and wide
so you're going to be riding quite comfortable whenever you're riding this is not adjustable
in height but I find it that for my height it is the perfect size so if your my height may be a
bit shorter you should feel pretty comfortable and safe when you're riding the scooter the grips are
made out of rubber they're nothing special but they don't spin around so that's definitely a
good thing we have the brake levers here these are made out of plastic we have a little bell here so
I guess that's better than not having a bell and then we have the accelerator right here and the
power button just on top of that accelerator in the center of the handlebar we have the display
the display does offer a lot of information so you can see the batteries temperature for example
the voltage you can see how much battery you have your speed of course you can see the mod that you
are in so there are three modes available the mods don't actually modify the Scooter's power the only
modify the top speed so of course if you go in mode number three you can get to up to 50
kilometers an hour as I said now at the bottom here we do have three touch buttons the scooter
also has cruise control and you can enable or disable that from the modes here and you can also
modify if the scooter starts moving right away so now I have it to start moving as soon as I touch
the throttle so it will start moving but you can also modify that and it doesn't start moving until
you actually kick it so it depends for some people it's better to just accelerate for some maybe for
newer Riders is best if you start moving the scooter first before you accelerate okay so
next I'm gonna show you quickly how to ride the scooter so we have the power button right here you
hold this press for about two seconds and you can change modes from here we are currently in mode
number three so we'll leave it to model number three so let's uh go we'll do a brake test as well
not sure if you can see the screen so we'll do a brake test here [Applause]
so you can definitely lock those Wheels if you want to we have a small hill around here
so as you've seen the scooter does slow down a bit when you go uphill bottom you can still go over
most Hills I'm gonna say we'll do another brake test around here so from 35 kilometers an hour
foreign good breaks as I mentioned earlier and I also like the fact that the score doesn't really
make that much noise when you go over bumps over uneven terrain and stuff like that now I
didn't exactly take this off-road this is the most off-road I'm gonna take a scooter like this but
you can definitely go a bit off-road with it I'm gonna say so yeah this is how you ride the Google
Kirin G3 so to quickly conclude this video for the price you can really go wrong with the Google
Kirin G3 because for the price it does offer more power than most other scooters out there the range
is also pretty good getting between 50 and 60 kilometers on one charge not to mention that
50 kilometer an hour top speed well most scooters don't really get them to that top speed so for the
price you can't really go wrong with this scooter the brakes on it are pretty good it can do a bit
of off-roading if you want because those tires are a bit more off-road looking I'm gonna say so
for the price you can't really go wrong with the G3 here but if you want to spend a bit more money
I definitely suggest that um you buy yourself the G3 Pro because it is much much better and I
will actually leave a link to the video that I've made for that scooter in the video's description
or the top right corner alright guys thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
