"front suspension makes it so smooth"
"Suspension is adequate for bumpy roads. It’s no Apollo (it’s a third of the price), but it’s better than other scooters at this price. ... It handles cracks and bumps relatively smoothly. ... Our roads are also pretty awful— I’ve yet to have any issues still. I would imagine the suspension makes it a better option than other scooters in the same price range."
"now include front suspension"

"I only use 2 miles a day to and from the train station so it’s got enough range for me"
"My commute is 5 miles and it uses 2 of the 5 battery bars."

"If you can get a niu 100P for $200 or less it's an absolutely fantastic and well-built scooter in that price range. ... I use mine for daily commuting so build quality is much more important that getting the top speed for the price"
"Overall, I’m still happy with it! I’ve had no issues with the tires, and there generally aren’t any signs of wear. It’s held up to rain (though I’m normally careful to check the weather). ... Nothing too crazy— I’d say it’s in the standard “rain” category— not a “sprinkle”, but not a “downpour”. I’ve never left it out in the rain for more than an hour at a time. Most non-school places I’ve brought a scooter to generally have a covered bike rack"
"not nearly as good build quality"

"IT CAN CLIMB A HILL! It slows down, but it doesn’t do that “skipping” thing and you don’t have to kick it. It goes up smoothly at a perfectly adequate speed. This was by far the biggest relief given how steep the roads are. ... I can carry GROCERIES up a hill without ANY struggling. ... I’ve got a few pretty steep inclines on campus, and this handles them well."
"The niu does surprising well up hills."
"up hills 9-11 depending on grade."

"$380 on Best Buy"
"Niu 100 scooter is a decent choice in that price range good quality"
"The build seems nice— the handlebars are comfortably wide, and it’s tall compared to other budget scooters. I like the locking and folding mechanisms. ... I’ve had this and used it frequently for over five months now, and I’ve been super pleased with how it’s held up for me! ... I haven’t had an NIU before, but most of their other scooters are in a higher price range. It doesn’t look as well built as other NIUs I see on campus… but I continue to be happy with my purchase whenever I see it next to Gotrax, HiBoy, or Ninebot models in the same price range. I really do just think it’s a cost thing."

"The stem is angled, and it crowds the deck. It removes about 1/3 of the leg room. I’m kinda short so it’s not bad for me, but I can see this being more annoying for a bigger rider."
"Keep an eye out for any cracks in the frame from where the frame tubing on both side meets the stem. ... The cracks will start at the welds and I believe it’s due to how the stem is positioned and angled towards you when standing on the deck of the scooter."

"It decelerates quick after you release the throttle. It reminds me of how people describe going from normal car breaks to a Tesla, if that makes sense. I can’t hand signal easily without it almost stopping. This is simultaneously the most annoying part of the scooter (I’m big on hand signaling) but also a feature I like since there isn’t a throttle break."

"I wouldn’t say there are battery issues, but I notice it tends to die pretty immediately after getting a low battery warning. This was the case with the budget scooter I had previously, I just needed to re-learn the hard way that I couldn’t squeeze another half mile out of this to make it back home once it slows down."
13wrongturns 1.0# NIU KQi 100P Electric Kick Scooter 17.4 mph | 18 miles. On sale now for $379 or you can pick one up at Best Buy. My son got one for college. If folds easy and has one of the quickest and easiest latches for carrying that I have seen. It also has better tires than many in this price range and has front suspension. I like that the front of the deck is open framed so that he can run a chain through to lock it up outside since students aren't allowed to bring scooters into the classrooms. It seems lighter than the Hiboy KS4 Pros which we also have.
AirFlavoredLemon 1.0I don't have this issue on my KQI 100P. I added to the app, got a new phone, and never logged into that app again. It constantly gets jostled around and rolled around in the garage.
Apprehensive-Ad-7279 1.0Bought a Niu KQi 100P to replace my other scooter that didn’t last 2 weeks ( Name Hapali ) Can immediately tell the build quality is 💯 better kinda wishing I have bought this one before but we all try to stay cheap sometimes Lest just hope this one last longer then 2 months so I can less break even base on how much Uber will cost me a month Note: the Second image is the shit brand in question that didn’t last 2 weeks
Yep it a big difference for 1 the kick off is a lot better an it maintains a decent sleep when going up the hill on my way to work
Big_Channel_7373 1.0I'd definitely second the NIU KQI100P, solid choice in that price range. Just make sure to factor in any potential duty fees if you're ordering from outside Canada since that can bump up the final cost pretty quick
bvs1979 1.0I just bought my daughter a Nui kqi 100p. I have ridin it, and I am impressed by the power it has for its weight. I also have a kukirin g2 master and it would be too heavy for your needs. The niu does surprising well up hills. Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for. https://shop.niu.com/products/niu-kqi-100p-electric-scooter?srsltid=AfmBOorv3Tj6u4LGOpcf-xSLTpIoYp1vw9LqWJKhPmgCu-mi2-LrfG-I *edit* it is cheaper at best buy, which is where I purchased it.
creativity-loading 1.0What about Niu 100P on prime days/sale days? Got mine for 279€. I also had an almost non existent budget
Dtb4evr 1.0I ended up getting an niu k100p, seems to be good
Feeling-Big-4544 1.0None. Get a NIU 100p it's $349 and the only one worth considering at the price
NIU 100p would be my pick under 500
Get a niu100p or 100f I can guarantee it'll be more reliable than this
https://youtu.be/cZEpDJ8hGiU?si=UATHYDa0Fo_qhAjK the review of it by esg https://a.co/d/3NH6iTb NIU 100p, the quality is top notch for the price, and one of the best features usually don't get a depresses suspension which this has, it's only on the front but it does help absorb bad road conditions
godsburden 1.0UPDATE: I AM SENDING THIS THING BACK FOR A FULL REFUND The tires are extremely slippery. I've had a major knee injury because of it. I have switched to a NIU KQI 100p which has about the same performance, but the tires are air filled and it is much smoother
I got seriously injured by this. They have been fighting me with a refund and demanding I send them the scooter back without giving me a means of returning it. I “upgraded” to a niu 100p and been in a public argument with them about their dogshit software updates
gooner_ultra 1.0I’ve been rolling on a KQi 100p, I assume it’s the same app and I’ve had no problems with it.
I recently got a NIU KQi 100p, couldn’t be happier. Not yet at 100 miles but I’ll post a proper review when I do. I only use 2 miles a day to and from the train station so it’s got enough range for me, definitely fast enough, front suspension makes it so smooth. Very premium feeling vehicle, a bit heavier than I’d like but I don’t have to carry it far. Disclaimer tho, it’s my first non-Lime/Bird scooter.
