I planned to buy this type of scooter for a long time now, but a few months ago Kukirin showed the bigger brother to it, the G2 Master with dual 1000 Watt motors. I got it a week ago, didn't have time to try it out until the last weekend, I already have more than 100 kms on the clock. I was able to ride the G2 Master with dual motor in Mode 2 for 40 kms, and I think still had a few more in the battery. I suggest to you mark, try one out, or any dual motor scooter, those are even more fun. If I ever have to sell my bike for one reason or another, this scooter at least can give me a bit of adrenaline rush.
Currently loved and used to great effect by thieves and toe rags normally dressed in black hoodies. Seriously I have no issue with these being legalized if controlled as powered vehicles with license insurance etc. it takes nothing to tune these up as many do then fly along sidewalks and busy shopping malls etc. recipe for disaster - thanks Mark 😊
G'day Mark, l know it's Dangerous to ride Motorcycles but these Big toys are deadly, so many kids in Australia have been killed running into Cars or have injuries too themselves or others and the fires 🚒 when left charging, theirs a few toys that need to be band and this is one, stick too motorcycle Mate, cheers, Neil 🤠.
I have had a Kaboo Mantis 10 Base for about 2 years now, quite a good scooter at the time I bought it. It has 2x1000w motors and a 18.2 a/h battery. It has a claimed 70 km range, but it won't get anywhere near that and I suspect the scooter you are reviewing won't either. My maximum range is about 30 km. The way they work out the range is very unreliable, it's done with a very light person (like 45kg) riding, on a dead flat and smooth surface, in eco mode and at low speed. Despite the range, I like my scooter and it's good for getting around town. The biggest limiting factor is the small wheels/tyres (mine has 10x3), they don't like uneven surfaces, if mine had 12 or even 14 inch wheels it would be so much better. Still on the original tyres after 1500km, battery has lost just 1 volt when fully charged. In New Zealand there are currently no regulations covering electric scooters and they are quite popular.
I just got this scooter in the mail and I'm scared of it..i upgraded from a 350 and yes it's definitely an upgrade..this scooter in mode 2 is good enough for me until i get use to it then mode 3..and yes i agree the build quality is great..no rattles it's a solid scooter and worth ever penny..good review too👍🏾

@@markpulling12 I've seen so many near misses with these things, a basic competence test and insurance are surely a must have. The current lack of a decision in these things is frankly ridiculous. Either, they are acceptable, or they are not. Declaring them illegal but dining nothing about their extensive use is just absurd. Either introduce some legislation to approve them, or reiterate that they are banned, and enforce it. The current situation can't continue.
@@Trev350Totally agree. These scooters are illegal in the UK so it’s potentially 6 points and fixed penalty every time someone takes one on the public highway (yes it includes footpaths and cycle paths) We can all argue the rights and wrongs of the lack of government action on legalisation but until they do act then there’s no grey area, they are illegal. Not a good move Mark reviewing such scooters. Otherwise your channel and reviews are excellent but you’ve definitely let yourself down badly with this one…
Hi very good video. I have vsett 8 had for 3 months now getting it up to 27 mph but have got up 30 mph battery is good scooter is great but one is awesome hopefully your battery will work for a long time keep us updated

Hi yes best one I've tested ...there are bigger better ones out there alot more expensive but heavier also This one is the best value power speed and relatively light weight Be perfect for a campervan Best wishes mark
Hi Mark, can you possibly let me know where I can purchase one. Seen several outlets on eBay but all have lots of negative comments on delivery ect. Would really appreciate your advice and recommendation as to where to purchase from. Great video by the way, very informative. Kind regards, Vic
Mark, amazing value for money. These, I assume, are technically illegal other than on “private land” but in reality our police are, effectively, turning a blind eye. With so much other important stuff like hate crime this is low priority. Worth noting, though, that should you be stopped the fines are significant plus points on your license (existing or future).

@@tomaszpakua2457 LOL, actually I do know. They are dangerous especially for kids. Every electric scooter must have insurance, max. speed 20km/h and the driver must have a minimum age of 14. Every scooter sold must have papers to proof that's legal to be sold. All these rules already apply in Germany when you want to drive an electric scooter, and that's for a reason.

Private land only at the moment lol 😆 wink wink ...UK needs to get a move on and legalise these and catch up with the rest of the world....it's only been 4 years now !!!! Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 The only way they can be legalized in the UK, is if they required a motorcycle licence, insurance and tax to use. That isn't ideal, but that's the only way a powered two-wheeled vehicle without pedals could ever be legal over here. They already cause havoc on the roads and pavement even when they're illegal 🤣 It would be better if they came under CBT ruling, as they're way less than a 125.
Illegal for road use. Thousands of law breaking events on a daily basis in the UK. Absolute nuisance at best; lethal piece of equipment often piloted by people who simply couldn't care less about anything whatsoever. I'm surprised to see one on here to be honest.
Nice video . I am disabled and also just been diagnosed with heart disease so getting around even walking is a struggle . Looking for something like this to let me get out as plenty of bridalways , footpaths . Plenty of ignorant or jealous people with rather dumb comments ,( I have found that most reviews etc are full of these saddo's ) . I hope to see more reviews like this to help make up my mind . Well there are more people killed by motorists , than escooter riders , so let's ban cars and lorries . just for the wokes.. P.s if it's for sale drop me a line
@chriskautz - Don't be so stupid. Cars and lorries are insured and legal. These scooters aren't. That's the issue. As for your equally daft comment about 'wokes' I can assure you it couldn't be further from the truth. That's the problem with RUclips channels, there're are always plenty of idiots like you who know nothing about a given subject but that certainly doesn't stop them spouting their nonsense!!!
