Wow, how good it looks. Don't you dare believe it . So fast. Oh my God. And let's get her out of here. Wow, but it looks good. I don't think so. My love since I waited for you. Don't even believe the tires, man. But it's all so well insulated, huh. There is a reason for that. We also dismantle the jack. Wow, how beautiful it looks. I don't think so. And this is what it looks like out of the box.

With Kukirin, we have nothing to worry about in terms of protection. The scooter is very well packaged and protected with perfectly molded, custom-made polystyrene. In the box, as usual, we find the instruction manual, a charger, some tools, a set of keys to start it, and that's all. Assembly is simple. Just attach the handlebars to the stem, the rear fender, and you're done.

The 14-light visibility system is one of the T3’s strongest buying triggers.

This scooter looks insane. All right, we got a strap there. It's just going to lock it. Oh, yeah. That locks right in place. Okay, that just gets pushed up. All right. I always am careful with those the first go around, but that's actually really easy. We got two sets of keys, which I love. Guys, I have to say my first impressions of this scooter, taking it out. It is blowing my mind.

I like the sharp lines here. Definitely looks different. By the way, if you have any questions for this T3, let me know in the comment section below and then I may feature them in the full review or the foreshoid video. But for now, we really need to see what kind of spec we are dealing with with this latest scooter.

This is a treasure. This is a model that I officially consider to be the best for its money and the best in its segment in principle. Kukirin T3, 800 watts of power, 10,000 peak power. pendulum-type front shock absorbers. Monoshock absorber at the rear with luminous wings. Well, you just look. Beautiful, finally a beautiful headlight. Just look at how she squirms.

Overall, this scooter is a really good stable electric scooter. And one thing I can say for sure is that this is KugooKirin's most beautiful electric scooter. Also the suspension is great. And the best thing is the price, especially with my discount code, which you can find in my link tree in bio and also many other discount codes.

What's very nice is the adjustable front headlight because it illuminates very well in the dark, but unfortunately, this T3 isn't all good. I repeat, it's a very compact scooter with a beautiful design. You can tell it's a new model. Well, the technology used is definitely superior to that of previous models. The deck size is neither small nor large; it's a decent deck. I'm very large, 1.80 kg.

Um, overall, I think going 40 km an hour on a scooter like this is more than acceptable to be honest. Of course, the heavier you are, the slower the scooter goes. And of course, always check your tire pressure because if you have low tire pressure, it's going to cause drag, which is going to of course reduce the speed of the scooter and of course reduce the range.
