From "Aunty wa Harrier" to Scooter Owner

TikTok star Kevin Kinuthia has added a third vehicle to his collection, sharing a video of his new electric scooter with his followers on Friday. The 24-year-old influencer, who famously gifted himself a sky-blue Toyota Harrier in 2025, expressed immense joy as he displayed the scooter’s official number plate. Dressed in a green tracksuit, Kinuthia was filmed riding the vehicle around his compound, marking another milestone in a rapid ascent that began with a red Nissan Note used for his early client work. The purchase has drawn comparisons to his popular online persona, "Aunty wa Harrier," as fans react to his evolving fleet of vehicles.

Addressing Public Judgment and Urban Convenience

Anticipating a mixed reaction from his audience, Kinuthia addressed critics who might question the necessity of a scooter given his ownership of a luxury SUV. "I know so many people will judge me. Like, what is the scooter for?" he remarked in his announcement video. Industry experts suggest the move is a practical response to Nairobi's infrastructure. Dante Njoroge, a local motorbike dealer, noted that electric scooters—which retail between KSh 100,000 and KSh 170,000 in Kenya—are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to bypass heavy traffic and eliminate fuel costs, making them ideal for short urban commutes.

Social Media Reactions and Fan Engagement

The announcement sparked a wave of engagement across TikTok and Instagram. Some followers expressed curiosity about the scooter's purpose, while others congratulated the creator on his consistency. One user humorously suggested the scooter needed a nickname similar to his Harrier's "Blue Bee," while others noted that the vehicle would allow Kinuthia to navigate the city without the delays of constant traffic congestion. The diverse range of comments highlights Kinuthia’s standing as one of Kenya’s most-watched influencers, with fans closely following his financial and lifestyle transitions.
