NIU - KQi 100F

RS6 ultra 2900. What I bought. Upgrading from a Nui Kqi

I recently went through this. I didn’t want some no-name junk brand with a bunch of made-up sky-high stats that would either begin degrading almost immediately or simply set my garage on fire when it was charging. So I found about three trusted brands on here that seemed the most common. Segway, Niu and HiBoy. I’m sure there are others. Then I chose weight and power vs cost. I didn’t want the fastest or the longest range. The collisions people have on these fast ones can ruin your face. I ended up with the Niu KQI100F and it’s been fine. Get a helmet that protects your chin such as one for downhill mountain biking. Never ever ever ever ride one handed. Cover bare skin. Tuck and roll.

NIU Kqi100f. Turn signals. Suspension in the front. Air filled tires. Twist throttle. My wife loves hers. https://preview.redd.it/l9j2h9d1g2ce1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58df1a3db365e5a7d3cc2bf24d8df52d4fc7611f

She sees 17-18 mph and about 14-16 moles of range.

Right. I got hers for 300$

NIU 100p https://a.co/d/bb49240 sad it used to be $249 brand new

NIU kqi 100p now renamed 100f, not many scooters can compare in term of build quality https://a.co/d/1QQCoEs

Get a niu100p or 100f I can guarantee it'll be more reliable than this

As a fan of AliExpress since before Amazon sold more than just books, I still wouldn’t buy a rideable from there. You want some level of reliability and good reputation. For your budget, you’ré looking at Niu kqi or Inmotion products. Way less maintenance and better value than any ebike or diy kit. I use all the PEV’s and generally recommend an escooter for most people thinking they want an ebike. If they can get away with the range, escooter is way better value. For $1,000, you get a junky ebike but a pretty good scooter. Feel free to use my coupon code, Funcentric if you decide to go with an Inmotion product.

I just bought a Niu 100F after lots and lots of hours reading this sub. Couldn’t be happier. I checked out the cheaper options and the difference in quality is pretty clear.

Very weak. Look up the Ninebot F series (F25/F35), Niu KQi1, Niu KQI 100P/F.

Isn't the KQI a pretty good one with decent speed and build? NIU gives me the impression that its a higher quality brand than Kukirin (who can't even get their naming right, Kukirin vs Kugoo Kirin, Kugoo). keep in mind there is no app for Kukirin so you aren't gonna get any OTA updates. I got a Kukirin G2 Max. The display died before even 1000km. The company sent me a new one but not before doing some tests, like reseating the connections. But the worst part was they made me open up the scooter which meant ripping up some of that rubber mat and then they wanted me to check the voltage on the battery and charger. I'm half handy so I was willing to do this, but WTF? You want a customer to check voltage with a multimeter? When I checked the charger it gave me a HUGE spark. Naw fk that. I enjoy the scooter but, the design decisions are weird. I bought new shocks so I disassembled the front. And to my surprise the bolt and the nut on the front axle don't use the same size socket! In a sense it meant that I could use a socket wrench on both sides when tightening/loosening the nut but its just weird. It made it feel like its put together with whatever parts they could find. Not sure if other scooters are like that? G2 Master would just rip with those motors. too fast for me to be comfortable on those tiny wheels.

No that is the older model KQi1. The KQi100P and KQi100F(includes folding handlebars) are the new updated models that now include front suspension, the motor power was boosted from 250w to 300w, etc. Overall just a much better scooter. Not sure when the newer model will be on amazon.de its been out for a few months in the US, and I did see it from one seller in EU. Its still not on the EU NIU website either (https://shopeu.niu.com/) so my guess is they are still getting ready for wider EU availability. The NIU KQi3 Pro is currently on offer for €528 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B7P89SPZ/ that is worth considering, or take a look at the NIU KQi2, or slightly more expensive the newer NIU KQi300X https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DGXLKH31/

Take a look at the NIU KQi100, great option at a budget price. The older NIU KQi2 Pro is also a very solid scooter that is worth considering if you find a good price. If you want more details on the KQi100, I made a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXw7OpEOt64 For the NIU KQi2 I have a whole library of resources that you might find helpful https://www.reddit.com/user/Lantea1/comments/146vxrr/niu_kqi2_pro_electric_kick_scooter_review_guides/

Niu 100 scooter is a decent choice in that price range good quality
