IronMewSecond-generation Xiaomi (an Essential, but it stopped being one two days after getting it out of the box). Put a big battery and 10" tires on it and it's still going strong today, four years and several thousand km down the line. Technically also a Kugoo S1 Plus, which didn't need any repair work at all for... oh, I wanna say two years. But then its battery died, so I'm not sure how much it counts in this context.
VaughnSolo69Got a Kurkirin and Love it! Yes
Natural-Purpose-884I love my Kugoo Kukirin
9Parabellum9Every scooter with a key / Nfc chip. Most Kukirin don't need App's
cheesy_quesadilla187For 400 get something better like a ninebot or save a lil more for a kukirin
drinkingcarrotsKukurin is a pretty good brand to alot of people (me included so there is bias to this response). Some people just want a pretty fast scooter with ok build quality for cheap. Kukurin fills this niche very well.
iFeelGoodWhenYouFailIt's an amazing scooter, just get. You'll be very happy. Trolls are spreading sh*t about KuKirin because they overpaid 3-4 times for equivalent scooter or bought a kid's toy Ninebot with 350W motor and they're sad. Get the KuKirin, bro, amazing brand and very reliable.
matt314159I think all brands suck including Segway. IMHO you should be at least handy at things like bike repair if you're planning to ride scooter. Basically get the best dog shit you can for your budget. I love my Kukirin for the $1,000 I paid for it.
