NIU - KQi 100F

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$

I bought my wife the NIU 100F. It has foldable handlebars, turn signals, air filled tires. If you are close to a Best Buy you can pick it up there. They offer a standard 2 year warranty through NIU and you can purchase up to an extended 3 year through Best Buy. I’ve owned multiple scooters and current have 3. The NiU 100f in my opinion checks all the boxes for a new rider and first scoot. Decent acceleration, decent range, smooth ride. https://preview.redd.it/itwcyopxup6e1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58b2503dfca8f1373c888d52ccd068ca31d9f61d

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

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.

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/

I just bought the Niu kqi100F today and I can not get the Bluetooth to show in the app or on my iPhone no matter what I do. I own 2 100p’s and they paired within seconds. I hate to have to take it back but I don’t know what else to do

**TL;DR:** Tested the 100F through ≈200 miles. Benchmarked performance with a Vbox Data Logger. Here's my data as a 175 lbs rider. * Top Speed: 17.4 MPH * Acceleration 0-15 MPH: 7.2 s (avg) / 6.89 s (best) * Braking distance (15 MPH): 12.8 ft * Range test (Speed priority): 9.98 miles * Range test (Regular): 11.38 miles * Range test (Range priority): 13.87 miles * Hills (8% grade, 250 ft): 28.5 seconds (avg. speed 6 MPH) * Hill (17% grade): Failed **What I like:** * Most comfortable scooter under $500 I tried * Excellent folding mechanism * Near-zero play in foldable handlebars * Excellent performance retention (still hitting 17 MPH at 5% battery) * Overall feels super solidly built * Very affordable **What I don't like:** * Small battery and modest 11-mile real-world range * Struggles on >15% hills Any questions about the 100F, I'm happy to help. 🥳

I went with my first scooter about a month ago now. Picked the 100F for the sort-of low intro cost, foldable handles, and basics. I wanted to stick with some of the more known brands and was willing to pay a little more there. I use it for last-mile from the bus to the office, about 0.8 miles each way, flat on asphalt roads, relatively urban with speed limits at 25mph. It’s been nice. With some lights and intersections more than the 17mph top speed isn’t really necessary. It cuts a walk that was around 15 minutes to a 5-6 min scoot. With our summer being warm here, the lack of sweating alone is nice. Folds up just enough to get it into the bus overhead shelves. Hope your experience is a good one! (Good luck with the surgery.)

I agree. I have the 100F and an older kqi2Pro. If you don’t want to tinker around and just want it to work with a 2 year warranty, go with NIU. Also only waterproof scooter at this range.

Tested? I’ve ridden in rain and snow and the scooter still running. Also the warranty helped when the throttle broke and NIU fixed it for free.

The suspension limits your choices but since it’s short range, get the NIU 100F. I have it and I’ve ridden in rain and snow in NY

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

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

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

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.
