Compact Design and Practical Appearance
A KuKirin S1 Max The scooter has a clean, minimalist look and combines a black base color with orange design elements, which is a recognizable feature of the KuKirin brand. The scooter measures 108 × 50 × 110 cm when opened and 108 × 50 × 46 cm when folded.
The weight of just 16 kilograms is a particularly outstanding feature, making it easy to carry and even allowing it to be taken on public transport. The 51 cm wide handlebar is equipped with rubberized grips that provide a secure grip even in wet conditions.
Performance and Technical Data
Az KuKirin S1 Max At its heart is a 350 W nominal power (peak 500 W) brushless motor capable of delivering 19 Nm of torque. This provides enough power for everyday city driving and is also capable of overcoming 15-degree inclines.
The scooter has three speed settings: first gear is 15 km/h, second gear is 20 km/h, while third gear allows speeds of 25 km/h with European restrictions and up to 30 km/h without restrictions. The 36 V, 10,4 Ah lithium-ion battery is equipped with a BMS protection system, which can provide a range of up to 39 kilometers under optimal conditions.
Safety and Comfort
Safety is ensured by a combination of electronic and mechanical braking systems. The electronic brake is activated by the left brake lever, while the additional mechanical brake is activated by pressing the rear fender. When braking, the rear LED light automatically lights up, increasing visibility.
The 8-inch, solid honeycomb-pattern wheels are puncture-resistant, so you don't have to worry about punctures. The wheels are equipped with orange decorative elements, which not only serves aesthetic purposes, but also improves the scooter's visibility. The rear spring shock absorber helps to somewhat reduce the vibration caused by road imperfections.
Intelligent Control and Display
The central LED display shows all important information: current speed, battery charge level (both graphically and in voltage), selected riding mode and distance covered. The display is clearly visible even in bright sunlight and automatically optimizes its brightness at night.
The multi-function power button provides access to a variety of functions. Press once to change between speed levels, press twice to turn the front LED lighting on and off. Press three times to activate the cruise control function, press five times to activate the “kick-to-start” mode, and press six times to deactivate the speed limiter.
Practical Experiences
A KuKirin S1 Max Assembly is extremely simple: it can be put together in a few minutes with the included hex key and six screws. On flat terrain, the scooter easily reached a speed of 25-28 km/h, which is perfectly sufficient for city traffic.
The engine torque is surprisingly good, and it still provides adequate performance on small climbs, although the speed may decrease significantly with a higher body weight. The advantage of solid tires is that they are puncture-proof, but the disadvantage is that they noticeably transmit all road imperfections.
Range and Charging
The real-world range with mixed use is around 15-25 kilometers, which is less than the manufacturer's promised 39 kilometers, but still enough for most urban routes. A full charge takes 7-8 hours with the included charger.
Solving the “Last Mile”
The term “last mile,” often used in the world of electric scooters, refers to the short distance that travelers travel between public transportation hubs and their final destination. The KuKirin S1 Max fits this role perfectly.
The scooter is easy to carry on public transport, can be quickly folded and stored in a small space, allowing users to travel longer distances by public transport and then switch to their personal micromobility device for the “last mile”.
Water Resistance and Maintenance
A KuKirin S1 Max It has an IP54 rating, which means it is protected against dust and splashes of water. It can be used in slightly damp conditions, but it is not recommended to use it in heavy rain or when immersed in water.
Thanks to the solid wheels, there is no need for puncture repairs and maintenance is minimal. The charging port is equipped with a protective cover to protect against moisture.
Lighting and Visibility
The scooter's lighting is a pleasant surprise. The front LED light, despite its small size, is surprisingly bright. The rear light is automatically activated when braking, increasing visibility and safety. The orange rim on the wheels also improves the scooter's visibility from the side.
Ergonomics and Usability
The scooter's 61 cm long and 15 cm wide tread is covered with an anti-slip coating, ensuring a safe stand. The folding mechanism is stable and reliable, equipped with a double safety system to prevent accidental folding.
The handlebar height is not adjustable, so it is best suited for users of average or shorter stature (up to approximately 175-180 cm). For taller users, the handlebar may be uncomfortable during prolonged use.
Limitations and Warnings
A KuKirin S1 Max It is more suitable for good city roads, not recommended for dirt roads or poor quality asphalt. The braking system results in longer braking distances on slopes and at higher speeds, which can be a safety risk in urban environments.
With a load capacity of 100 kg, performance is noticeably reduced with a higher body weight, especially on hills. The solid wheels noticeably transmit all road irregularities, despite the rear spring shock absorber.
Summary and Evaluation
A KuKirin S1 Max is an affordable, entry-level electric scooter that can handle urban transportation. Its strengths are its light weight, easy folding, practical design, and the trusted KuKirin brand name.
The price of under 120.000 HUF is competitive, especially considering the quality assembly and expected reliability. The scooter is ideal for those who want a reliable electric scooter at an affordable price for everyday urban transportation or to solve the “last mile” problem.
