KuKirin V3 Electric bike Review - 40kmh!

[@alins59-n5k]

@VRMinde If I accidentally turn on the bike while charging? And the controllwer no longer starts How can I fix this?

[@VRMinde]

Sh$t.. I suggest you reach out to kukirin or the seller. I do not know the solution for that. Actually, it would be great if you would get back and let others know what is the solution, I would pin the comment up there.

[@alins59-n5k]

Hello,as promised the update: I received the new battery,problem is fixed. I opened the old battery after,and a simple cable connector(between 2 wires )was off.

[@VRMinde]

@@alins59-n5k thanks bro for coming back. Looks like a small issue and happy you got the replacement!

[@szolanek]

8 months ago 800. Now it is something 670 on their page. It looks promising. After having 3 bikes, I just came to the realization that one must calibrate about 400/year for ebike. I just told to my neighbors. They said, it is damn expensive. I said, nope. If you buy a regular for 500 and spend 500 in the next 10 years, it is 100/ year. For extra 300 it takes me up about 100 km to the statosphere. And helps in a smooth ride for 10K kms. No, expensive is the regular. I know, i did it for decades. I couldn't see a hill anymore😅

[@VRMinde]

Everything is very personal. For some it is too expensive, for others too cheap. Someone rides on a non-electric bike 400km every day and laughs at e-bikes, while someone with an injury is just dreaming to do 10km on an electrical one...

[@olestas]

But it's not legal in EU/Sweden? Due to over 25km/h and throttle..

[@VRMinde]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BohmanderTCG]

who cares lol seen many on them for years nothing happend (lock it to 30km) police wont care

[@olestas]

@@BohmanderTCG Well, unless they make you register every electric bicycle.. then you will have to register its factory name, and they will look it up...

[@olestas]

@2:40 this is so stupid.. I don't understand why they don't put factory back light. I have old version kugoo kirin v1 b2 and also had to buy rear light.. they even have rear/brakes light output on controller..

[@VRMinde]

That I agree. It is all that hassle with batteries etc. That could have been avoided

[@mapriloliveira3182]

Good review, thanks. I have a question: is the controller integrated into the battery? If so, this seems like a disadvantage if/when you need to replace the battery...

[@VRMinde]

Hi, good question where is it hidden! Even if it is in the same box, should be easy to separate imo 🙄

[@alins59-n5k]

I opened a battery and something that looks like the controller is indeed in the battery,connected to it.

[@djurosi]

do you have problem with brake squiking? do you have to make some adjustment ?

[@VRMinde]

no, unless they are wet in my case they do not squeak. Did you work-in the brakes of a new bike? You are supposed to accelerate many times and then brake, but never fully stop of block the brakes when they are new. In that way you get even wear-in between the discs and the pads

[@djurosi]

after some ride they started to squik..think one side of brake plates (right) grinds disk so I think will need some adjustment...and one more strange thing..after only 40 km of ride.. error code 06 or 02 ...

[@stockey]

I have a similar bike with a 500W motor and 48V battery, it's even speed unlocked and doesn't go more than 32kph.

[@VRMinde]

I was actually shocked. This is the fastest thing on 36V I have ever tried to be honest. I do not know how many amps do they pull through it to get a 90kg man to 40kmh on 36v. I think majority of “500w” motors are in reality like 250 or 200. Can it be that these guys just decided to write the truth for once? :D

[@simeongeorgiev9348]

How is the battery(can it overheat and cause a fire)?

[@VRMinde]

Well, it can happen to any li-ion battery, but it is not something that “normally happens”. Kukirin are making personal EVs for many years, I am personally calm about the pack.

[@naeem.80]

@VRMinde, i have a question that how can i lock the maximum speed limit on 25km, let me know please...

[@VRMinde]

For starters you can just use lower speed mode. There is nothing in the manual I just checked. Have you tried pressing both + and - buttons at the same time after turning on? There must be a way to get into parameter menu and adjust max speed. I might try to play around tomorrow

[@naeem.80]

OK but if you try tomorrow please let me know thanks

[@VRMinde]

you can enter the parameter menu by pressing + and - buttons and holding them for a few seconds. However, I do not see which parameter would be the obvious speed limit. Let me ask the seller@@naeem.80

[@VRMinde]

Here you go, reply from the seller: “The e-bike only supports speed limiting by switching gears; it cannot directly set a specified value or otherwise switch the speed.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ so it is only speed modes mate

[@naeem.80]

@@VRMinde okay thanks, have a good day

[@Teresa-vg3bw]

If you take out the battery it turns a normal bike? I want to buy one and I'm scared that some people stole it...

[@VRMinde]

Yes, kind of with a heavier rear wheel :) you can any time use it as a normal heavier bike…

[@qweryqwerty-h5v]

Hi. What is your height? Will it fit a height of 183cm? What size frame is it 19 or 20? (M or L)? Are the wheels small? How long does one km charge last?

[@VRMinde]

I am 191, there is only one frame size so it is not marked as L or M. 183 should fit pretty well in my opinion.

[@djon21100]

​@@VRMindeнужно измерить от центра шатуна до подседельника в см/2.54 = дюймы рамы

[@IMastexI]

What would you recommend more, This or M2?

[@VRMinde]

Well, they are a bit different style bikes mate. KuKirin is more of a hybrid/commuter and K2 more of an entry level MTB. V3 is faster than M2, M2 has better brakes. I cannot recommend one over other, because it is a very much personal choice..

[@IMastexI]

@@VRMinde which would be better in light and heavy rain?

[@VRMinde]

V3, but only because it has mudguards/fenders :)

[@robz3170]

How to turn on the front light ?

[@VRMinde]

Press and hold the + butto

[@mdnaimulislam7508]

How can I buy this bike, I am located in France

[@timodreijer4039]

Alibaba

[@amonraboga]

Whats the battery life on electric only?

[@VRMinde]

It depends on speed, weight, wind, tire pressure, hills, etc. I also never tried it as I can’t resist pedaling. I find it weird and uncomfortable to just sit on a bicycle 🙄

[@djurosi]

on assist mode 1/2/3...most time 1 ... 40km !!! I am 186cm 95kg / most time charging battery 7-8h ...

[@Alex_Verso]

Сколько весит?

[@djon21100]

Много. Тебе такой не нужен ибо гонишься как и все за весом

[@rlatilla]

Best full chinese ebike Eleglide M2 new , hidraulic disc brake , hard effective battery ,massive but light . Minimal price .

[@VRMinde]

I have done a review of the M2 as well. These are two diferent bikes. This one has mudguards, more like a “touring” type frame, rear rack and a higher max speed. Eleglide m2 is more of a hardtail mtb. Also KuKirin V3 is a bit smaller frame size than the eleglide m2
