Found an Mten3 on Aliexpress. Legit?

Haven't rode EUC for awhile and I have no idea what the reselling game is like, but I'm interested in an Mten3. Is the Mten3 something someone would knock off or is this likely just extra stock?

Oh the one-offs on AliExpress.
It's a first for me seeing this color scheme for the Mten. 
Weird find indeed.

It seems legit. However, I don't think those alternate color schemes were in distribution in the US.
The fire risk warning makes me think these older (legacy) models are being liquidated. 
That is interesting, but there is always some risk with AliExpress. ;)

Update: I received it! It appears to work great! At first the motor didn't work but then I learned it was in transport mode.

If anyone has answers here are a few questions that came up:

  • It's white but has black pads and black pedals. Was that a more recent design change, or likely a swap of spare parts? I've seen most of the white models have gray pads and pedals.
  • I've also heard some of the models come with tubeless tires? I filled these up to the recommended PSI but was wondering if there's any nail protection in there.
  • Have there been multiple updated model numbers of the same model for this EUC? Is there any way to tell? I'm thinking of when Nintendo quietly made another updated model of the switch way before the OLED version.
