Parents rarely say no to a scooter. They say no to a vague ask. Walk in with the numbers below and the conversation changes.
Lead with what a full charge costs.
A full charge on the S1 Max (coming soon) pulls about 0.43 kWh from the wall. At 18¢ per kWh, the average US home rate we used, that is about 8¢ for up to 24.2 miles. The G2 takes about 0.86 kWh, so roughly 16¢ for up to 34.2 miles. We added 15% for charger losses. Your parents' power bill has the real rate, so swap it in.
Show how fast it pays for itself.
Write down what getting around costs the family every week: bus fare, gas for the drive to school or practice, rideshares. Then divide the price by it.
| Spent on rides per week | S1 Max (coming soon, $349) | G2 ($629) |
|---|---|---|
| $10 | 35 weeks | 63 weeks |
| $20 | 17 weeks | 31 weeks |
| $30 | 12 weeks | 21 weeks |
Time is part of the price.
No waiting on the bus, no circling for parking. The S1 Max (coming soon) folds and weighs 35.3 lb, so it goes up the stairs and into a closet. The G2 tops out at 28 mph and has suspension front and rear for the rough streets.
Answer "what if it breaks" before they ask.
Every KuKirin from this store comes with a 2-year warranty. Add a third year for $100 in the same order. Parts for your exact model are sold right here, from the official KuKirin store for the US.
Make delivery and returns a non-issue.
It ships from our US warehouse and lands at your door in 3 to 5 days (the G2 pre-order ships in early November). Shipping is free on orders from $300, so every scooter ships free. Changed your mind? Tell us within 14 days and ship it back within the next 14.
Until Oct 31, 11:59 PM PT: code HLW30 takes $30 off your scooter order, applied at checkout.
