Riding controls
The jump input is the Spacebar. It also exits your scooter, which is why a mis-timed press drops you off the vehicle. Here is the whole control list, plus the two places the jump is worth doing.
One input
The keyboard control table for Kukirin Life lists Spacebar as Jump / exit your vehicle. It is the same key for both, so treat every jump as something you can also fall out of with.
The game is still in testing and the controls have changed between builds, so if Spacebar does nothing in your session, read the on-screen prompts and the in-game settings before assuming the key is broken.

The jump is not what pays. Riding itself earns Cash, and wheelies add experience and raise your cash multiplier — the jump is how you reach the stunt spots and how you rotate the scooter in the air.

| Input | Action | What it means in a ride |
|---|---|---|
W / Up Arrow | Accelerate | Throttle. Easing into W is how you settle a wheelie. |
A / D / Left-Right | Steer | Sharp steering is what breaks a wheelie balance. |
Spacebar | Jump / exit your vehicle | This is the jump input. It also exits the scooter. |
E | Interact with prompts | Used at the delivery counter and other NPCs. |
Shift | Perform and hold a wheelie | One of two readings — this guide records both, see the note below. |
Control | Hold a wheelie (second reading) | Footage shows holding Control, tapping Up Arrow, easing into W. |
1 / V | One-handed ride | Visual only — it does not count toward wheelie quests. |
2 / C | No-handed ride | Visual only — it does not count toward wheelie quests. |
C | Cycle camera view | First person, cinematic, third person. |
L | Lights on and off | Light toggle while riding. |
I / O | Zoom in and out | Camera zoom. |
Two guides read the wheelie key differently — one shows Shift, the other shows Control. Both are listed above rather than one being picked for you. Try the one your session shows on screen first.
