Electric Scooter for Adult - KQi 100 200 Series E Scooter w/Suspension, 600-700W Peak Power, 18-33 Max Miles, Top 17.4-20 MPH, Portable Commuting Escooter, Folding Handlebars(Only K100F & K200F)

I just crossed 100 miles on the KQi3 Pro yesterday, and I adore it. I can't afford a car in this economy, so I've been walking all over the place in Texas for years, and this gives me a massive amount of freedom. This thing's built like an absolute tank, and incredibly well-designed - you can definitely tell that NIU has been building actual sit-down scooters for years, and they're the only scooter company I know of listed on the NASDAQ, so I feel pretty confident that everything's above-board and I'm not driving around on a lemon. At the price I paid($500), it's clearly the best scooter for the money right this moment, unless you can still find the Max model for $600(I missed that by a literal day, they sold out). It might be worth it to look into the NIU 300P or Segway Max G2 for their suspensions, but if you don't mind feeling the bumps a little in your knees, this is well worth the price savings; those are $800+! Most bumpiness is absorbed by the tires, anyways, and I think for a first e-scooter, not having a suspension might be better for learning how your scooter interacts with the terrain. The KQi3 Pro weighs around 45 pounds, and the folding/latch mechanism is widely considered the best on the market by most reviewers. It's rock-solid and makes it easy to bring up and down a couple flight of stairs every day. It's not quite lightweight(look to their Air model for that, but it's twice the price), but I have no problem carrying it around. I use it for commute, and my 27-minute fast-walk to work turned into a 17 minute scooter trip at 9MPH and a 14-minute trip with speeds unlocked and 20MPH on long, straight paths. Previously I only walked around 2 miles out, and with this, I've made several trips 6+ miles from home. I've downloaded like 8 fast food apps in the past month, it's amazing, haha. I strongly, strongly recommend getting a U-lock and never ever ever leaving your scooter unattended without it locked down. I got a nice Kryptonite U-lock in a physical store for only $20, but Amazon seems to sell comparable locks for $40. I'm going to double up with a U-lock AND a chain whenever I have to leave it outside for over an hour, like at the DMV or when I'm giving plasma. I weigh around 195lb at 6"1 with very long legs, and it's comfy for me, even if I do have to look straight down to see the little display. At 9MPH you really do get 31 miles of range. At 13MPH I found that I'd get 26 miles, and at 20MPH, it was more like 21 miles. I rode at 9MPH for a couple weeks, raised it to 13MPH for a few days and then accidentally set it to 20MPH, only to find that 20MPH is totally comfy at my newbie level of experience. Throttle is good enough that I can go 20MPH on straight, flat paths, release a little throttle to drop down to ~12-14MPH on uncertain terrain, and release further for sharp turns at ~7-9MPH. Regen braking is spectacular, I have it set to Weak(the default setting) and I usually just let regen do the job, but the dual disc brakes are very effective for quicker stopping. Almost ran over a squirrel a few days ago when he ran across my path unexpectedly, they saved his bacon! Braking is arguably more important than accelerating, and they didn't skimp out at all here. The headlamp feels perfectly sufficient for illuminating the path ahead at night(double-tap the power button to turn it off or on), and it's freely adjustable. Some people buy extra lamps and latch them onto their scooter handles, but I feel zero need to do so. The headlamp is perfect. The KQi3 lineup is water-resistant and dust-resistant, IP54, so it should be able to handle the rain, but I'd recommend only scootering if it's a very light rain; if it's heavily pouring, you're not gonna have great traction and you're significantly more likely to suffer a bad fall. Same with the snow - if the path is iced over, you're a lot more likely to fall. Don't scooter over snow, and try to keep out of the mud and leaves. I recommend a tire cleaner spray and a microfiber cloth over hosing it down, it may be water-resistant but hosing down a device like this isn't really recommended. Better to baby an e-scooter, no matter how much of a tank it is. I went overboard my first week with a 3/4ths helmet that was way too hot and heavy, and found out I have an XXL head that needs a larger helmet, hence staying at the slower 9MPH for so long. Ended up getting a Bontrager Wavecel XL helmet, standard bike helmet design. Safety first, but you do need to consider comfort and heat. Motorcycle helmet'll provide maximal protection, but honestly, at 20MPH or below, a bike helmet'll probably cover your butt and it's significantly more comfortable. Don't be like me, get a well-fitted helmet from day one. Top dangers on a scooter are head injuries, then abrasions, then broken/strained wrists and knees. Helmet takes care of the main thing, and at some point I'll get some motorcycle armor for the rest of it. I haven't fallen a single time, but apparently it's an inevitability, especially at higher speeds and in unfamiliar areas. Recommended accessories: bike pump($10), Kryptonite U-lock/chain($20-$80), phone mount($16), a second charger($20), a scooter bag($25), a two-shoulder-straps backpack. I also ordered Armor-Dilloz self-healing tire solution, the 9.5" NIU KQi3 Pro tires are great but they aren't self-healing. This'll resolve small punctures even better than the more common Slime option that's cheaper and more readily available. At the moment, replacement tires only run you $27 each, brake disc rotors are $7 each and brake pads are like $2 each. I haven't had to change anything out yet, but apparently it's a pretty good scooter to maintain. Oh, regarding the app, some people complain about it but I think it's absolutely perfect for newbies. You have to scooter at a lower speed for a little bit before they let you unlock the higher speeds. You can turn off the setting that makes you go 3MPH before it'll activate throttle, but I'm going to keep that on long-term. It's a great safety feature, and I walk faster than 3MPH, so I just walk a couple steps with the scooter and hop on. So yeah, the KQi3 Pro is top-tier, can't recommend it enough. I'd like to get a Segway Ninebot Max G3 once that hits the market, that'd be the next step up, but it'll probably be more than twice the price of this and weigh 10 more pounds, so it'll be more of a hassle to carry up and down flights of stairs. I hope to use this for many years and thousands of miles, and I will definitely update my review if I run into any problems.

Let me just say this: the NIU K100F/K300X/AIR Electric Scooter is an absolute BEAST. My two teenage boys and I ride this thing everywhere—into town, to the store, around the neighborhood, and even on trips along the Cape Cod Canal. At this point, I’m pretty sure the scooter gets more fresh air than I do. Power? Oh, it’s got power. This thing has 600W–900W of “hold on tight and pray you charged your phone for GPS” power. It zips up hills, cruises on flats, and makes me feel way cooler than a grown adult should feel on a scooter. Battery life? Amazing. I swear this thing charges once, then runs for three days straight out of pure determination. We ride it all over creation and it still comes back with enough juice to judge my driving. Range? Perfect for the boys, perfect for me, and perfect for pretending we’re in a high-speed chase… at a reasonable, parent-acceptable speed. The best part? My teens actually want to hang out with me now. They see me grab the scooter key and suddenly they’re like, “Dad, wait for us!” I don’t question it. I just enjoy the moment. If you’re considering this scooter—stop considering. Buy it. Ride it. Let it improve your life in ways therapy can’t. 10/10 — would absolutely buy again and may or may not fight my kids for riding time.

As an owner of multiple electric scooter models and brands over the years, I was looking forward to my NIU KQi3 Max experience. Unfortunately, while my initial few months of ownership were very positive, the breakdown of key parts created an incredibly dangerous riding situation, leaving the scooter unridable, and the customer support received thus far has been disappointingly inadequate. The first three months of ownership were enjoyable, and after fixing an initial stem wobble with some Loctite, the KQi3 Max scores high marks for speed, acceleration, comfort, battery life, and design compared to other models in the price range. At the three-month mark of ownership, the throttle lever of my KQi3 Max became jammed in the 'on' position while riding. This malfunction resulted in an uncontrollable burst of acceleration that not only caused a minor accident, but it also shredded the rear tire — effectively rendering the scooter useless. Considering the high speeds this scooter is capable of, I consider myself lucky to have only sustained minor injuries. It could've ended significantly worse. Having faced problems with other brands in the past, I was aware that such issues can occur. What matters is how the company handles it. I promptly contacted NIU's support team to report this dangerous defect and was met with a sluggish, impersonal response. It took a week for them to finally get back to me with a ticket closure email, informing me that they are sending a replacement part for self-installation. My ticket ID, RMA BS230605-0002, apparently doesn't merit direct communication with a support team member or a conversation on an agreeable resolution. NIU's solution appears to be sending me an unidentified part with zero context or instructions for installation. Diagnosing the precise mechanical issue, determining the correct replacement part, and having the technical know-how to correctly install it should not be assumed as commonplace skills for all customers! Given the severity of the defect, a professional repair should at least have been initiated by NIU, or barring that, a complete unit replacement. The rear tire is connected to the motor, so it is possible not only the throttle but the propulsion system itself is compromised. There's a middling chance of me correctly identifying the severity of the issue and successfully fixing it myself, but the NIU team is just resorting to the cheapest and easiest option for them, not what will actually resolve the problem. How is an unidentified DIY part a good solution? It's disheartening and alarming how dismissive NIU has been regarding a defect that directly threatens user safety. In my extensive experience with electric scooters, I have never faced such a dangerous issue coupled with such a lackadaisical approach from the support team. In light of this, I cannot recommend the NIU KQi3 Max scooter or the company's support system. I will be happy to update my review if the support team is able to adequately address the mechanical issues, but at present, with numerous other reliable options available in the market, your safety and peace of mind deserve better.

I have been riding the NIU KQi 100p for three months now, and it has been a fantastic purchase. As a first time e-scooter rider, I found it very easy to get used to. At 6 ft tall and 130 lbs, the ride feels stable, and I am able to hit top speeds of over 25 mph without issue. The suspension is also impressive, it handles my daily commute over somewhat bumpy roads very smoothly.

Ho acquistato questo monopattino per sostituire il mio MI 365 Pro che ho utilizzato per due anni accumulando con soddisfazione e senza problemi di sorta quasi 1.600 chilometri. Questo prodotto tuttavia è decisamente su di un altro pianeta per questi motivi: Robustezza: e un sorta di carro armato con un telaio assolutamente stabile, Pedana: è molto larga e quindi comoda e sicura, Gomme: sono tubeless di grosso diametro (e quindi molto più sicure) con un battistrada molto largo che assorbono incredibilmente ogni asperità e fornendo una sicurezza e una comodità elevatissime, Finiture: sono tutte ad un livello davvero molto elevato, piacevoli da vedere, tanto quanto solide, Modello: io consiglio senza ombra di dubbio la versione Pro perché a fronte di un costo e di un peso leggermente maggiori offre un motore decisamente più potente (utile in salita per chi come me non è un peso piuma), due freni a disco uno anteriore e uno posteriore e una batteria che consente una maggiore percorrenza, Sicurezza / piacere di guida: appena avviato il monopattino si percepisce nettamente una grande sensazione di sicurezza e di stabilità e quindi anche il piacere di guida nel traffico aumenta notevolmente, il motore spinge forte ed è sempre pronto appena si tocca il comando dell'acceleratore, App di corredo: ha tutto quanto serve per questo tipo di prodotto, Sicurezza: l'app permette di bloccare il motore del monopattino in caso di sosta e, se si tenta di farlo muovere il motore funge da blocco e si attiva un fastidioso rumore, non un antifurto ma sicuramente una grossa comodità le soste brevissime. Infine nel caso del mio acquisto al momento del pagamento ho goduto di un forte scontro. Quindi per quanto mi riguarda prodotto consigliassimo se non si desidera un giocattolo, ma un prodotto sul quale fare davvero affidamento.

I have had my NIU scooter for just under three months now and I am absolutely in love! I live a busy & active life with full days, often needing to be multiple places in a short span of time - but I am also someone who lives with chronic pain who doesn't drive. Because of this, getting around especially when I'm in flare can be a strain needing to walk or bike everywhere, so I began researching the many electric scooter options out there wanting to get something that would improve upon my independence regardless of what my pain levels were. There are a lot of decent options out there if you're just looking for a little recreational ride - but I knew I wanted something sturdy, that I could rely on for longer rides and multiple times daily use without having to charge every day, which eliminated a lot of the other scooters I came across. Enter the NIU KQi3 Pro. With its larger deck, 32 km/h max speed, and ability to go up to 50 km on a single charge, it is very stable and efficient in getting me everywhere I need to go. Zipping around on the scooter is a blast, and because of this, it makes me want to go more places, which has delightfully opened my world back up. And with it's bright led light, and rear brake lights, it even feels good traveling at night. It's no small joy riding along the waterfront in this delightful summer weather - passing lines of traffic that would have otherwise had me stuck. With the distance, I am able to reach the furthest corners of the city and return on a single charge, and often check in to multiple spots in a day with battery still left. I haven't yet figured out a reliable way I trust to lock it up, so I usually bring it into stores etc. with me. With its weight sitting just below 43 lbs, some days that is easier than others - depending usually if I'm in flare - but even so it's never an immovable amount for me to carry, and it folds with ease to put into carts (if you're feeling ambitious and don't mind people giving you funny looks, which I don't) or vehicles to transport when need be. Even going up big hills this beaut handles surprisingly well. There is a noticeable drop in speed (which is to be expected) but if you approach a hill already moving you'll be fine. Everywhere I go with this I have people complimenting me on it, asking me about the brand and where I got it from, and I know many have taken to watching the sales on this for when they too can get their own as well. The only possible drawbacks I have noted from my own experience are these: 1. The size of the main body - great for stability, however there doesn't appear to be a lot of accessories made to fit this size currently, so planning out my accessories will take a little bit more work. I have been able to add a cell phone mount and mirror with the use of a handlebar extender, however no water bottle holder has been made to adapt for either the main body or handlebar extension so far, and third party storage bags that attach to the main body otherwise have mixed reviews. This is not a deal breaker as I typically travel with a backpack anyways, just a little disappointing for days I want to travel especially light. 2. Not having very secure options for locking it up. I've looked online at a few ways to work around this with electric scooters, but many of them rely on a small triangle cutout on the design of the frame which the KQi3 Pro just does not have. This does have an alarm/locking function, but I don't see that being as much of a deterrent as someone could just carry it off or throw it into the back of a vehicle anyways as it continued to beep. There are still things that can be done, but where I live, I don't know if that would be seen as a challenge for someone rather than a real barrier, so for now I am sticking to bringing it in with me wherever I go. 3. Occasionally the tension in my left break won't catch, although this only appears to happen at the beginning of my ride, and it does so inconsistently. Reading the manual it talks about ways to adjust the disk brake and I do intend on trying that, just a minor thing that occurs sometimes within the first block of travel - but also only when I'm first leaving my home? Other than these things, the scooter has honestly been amazing. It's given me time and joy back in traveling around my city, and I feel excited to do things that would have otherwise been a chore before, especially on higher pain days. Beyond even the things needed, I try to make a point of doing a recreational ride once a day also, even if I have only a few minutes, and with its speed, that sees me able to go far. Considering the price points on many of the other scooters which are not far off, and the higher capabilities of this one, I think the NIU KQi3 Pro is a great buy - especially if you can get it on sale! In every way I highly recommend.

Ich war echt sehr überzeugt von der Marke NIU, der Qualität und der Optik. Bis vor ein paar Wochen plötzlich mein KQI 3 Pro beim Laden Probleme machte. Beim Anstecken machte das Ladegerät Geräusche. Zudem war die Verbindung zwischen Kabel und E Scooter leicht verschmort. Es war kein Laden mehr möglich. Nach langwieriger und wiederholter Kontaktaufnahme zum Hersteller, durfte ich meinen NIU zu einer Werkstatt in Deutschland einschicken. Es gab von NiU immer Updates per E-Mail, wie weit der Scooter ist. Irgendwann stand dann dort, dass der E- Scooter mit Originalteilen repariert und die neueste Software aufgespielt wurde. Dein Fahrzeug ist nun auf dem Rückweg zu dir. Als der KQI 3 Pro dann jedoch zurück kam, funktionierte das Laden immer noch nicht. Es wurde auch nichts ausgetauscht. Stecker und Anschluss waren immer noch die selben. Als ich mich dann per Mail beschwerte und fragte, was nun gemacht worden sei, wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass es sich um einen „wirtschaftlichen Totalschaden“ handelt und deshalb nicht repariert wurde. Angeblich sei es ein Wasserschaden, wobei mein Scooter immer bei mir drinnen stand und ich nicht mal bei Regen gefahren bin. Es wurde auch noch mal erwähnt, dass der Scooter ja nur gegen Spritzwasser geschützt ist und da bei mir anscheinend mehr Wasser hingekommen ist, ist meine Reparatur aus der Garantie ausgeschlossen… Ich bin wirklich sehr enttäuscht von der Marke und der Werkstatt. Ich hätte mir mehr Unterstützung von NiU für einen nichtmal 2 Jahre alten 600€ Scooter, der kaum genutzt wurde und immer im Trockenen geparkt und gefahren wurde gewünscht. Leider habe ich nicht die Möglichkeiten und Energie, dem Hersteller das Gegenteil zu beweisen. Somit habe ich keinen KQI 3 Pro mehr und werde mir auch keinen mehr kaufen. Werbung, die ich für die Marke bei Freunden gemacht habe, werde ich auch zurücknehmen und vor dem Hersteller warnen!

Che dire ho preso il monopattino per esigenze quotidiane, per spostarmi con mezzi pubblici e monopattino e devo dire che mi sto trovando molto bene. Il peso c’è e si sente, diciamo che a differenza degli xiaomi che pesano poco questo i suoi 20kg si sentono tutti. Però la qualità costruttiva e la qualità generale è di alto livello. L’app è molto interessante e da la possibilità di dettare dei parametri importanti, come quello della frenata rigenerativa che è molto molto interessante. Una volta che lasciate l’accelleratore la frenata rigenerativa di attiva e si sente che il monopattino inizia a frenare. La trovo utile e sicura soprattutto in città anche impostandola su debole. Le ruote ammortizzano bene, ovvio sui sanpietrini non fa miracoli ma in altre circostanze direi che ammortizzano bene e poi sono con gomma piena e senza camera d’aria quindi più difficile da forare. Altra cosa importante che la velocità è autolimitata a 25 km/h anche in discesa e questo va a vantaggio della sicurezza. Ad oggi sono pienamente soddisfatto, avendo la versione Pro con il motore da 350w che è abbastanza potente per fare salire anche con un 20% di pendenza è in autonomia che si attesta 35/40km effettivi. Io onestamente lo consiglierei davvero un prodotto fatto bene

The product itself seems great. Build quality seems good, the latch to fold the thing down is great and super easy to use and while I haven’t used it much yet, it feels comfortable and well built. Some issues with the interface on the display and not user friendly to actually switch modes or use the lights despite the instruction manual. The main issue however which is the only reason this is a negative review is the packaging itself. Specifically the two packets of silica gel within it. One of them burst open during shipping and spilled everywhere in the box and so before even opening it, it was already spilling little beads of silica gel all over the place. It was a massive headache to clean and just overall very disappointing especially for a 750$ product to deal with such a mess upon delivery.
