# 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.

I 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.

Test it in person. I have friend who is 5'1" 90lbs ... and a 40lbs scooter is too much for the her. She ended up picking up a NIU KQi2 which was just a hair over 40lbs. Her bf picked up the ETWOW GT (specifically the fluidfreeride version) - and that was much more manageable in weight and size for her. She was more easily able to take it up her porch steps leading into her apartment as its both more compact (less unweildy) and way lighter. But its significantly less of a real scooter. They both hated it, especially handlebar ergonomics (they're short). I also have the ETWOW GT and a NIU KQI 100p (last year's FOTM budget scooter). And they are worlds apart in ease of carry. But the ETWOW GT Sport is.... full of compromises. It needs to be tested. If you need to haul it and lift it - reconsider or test carrying a scooter of that weight up and down your area. Its painful to swing it around - having it bang against the side of your body. And at nearly half your body weight - difficult to balance and maneuver. If its too much you'll end up using it less than you want. If its something you can roll straight out of your garage and never fold it - grab whatever you need. Also keep in mind that lighter scooters are easier to maneuver - you can lift the back or front end and turn it. While heavier scooters, you may see yourself doing K turns/multi point turns (off the scooter) just to turn it around.

Bought 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

I'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

What about Niu 100P on prime days/sale days? Got mine for 279€. I also had an almost non existent budget

that's exactly why i always stress protective gear first before anything else. full face helmets are a game changer for kids - seen way too many accidents where regular bike helmets just don't cut it the niu kqi 100p is solid, good speed control and build quality. for that age range i'd also check out the segway ninebot zing e8/e10 - they have good speed limiters you can adjust as they get more comfortable. razor e300 is another reliable option that's been around forever make sure whatever you get has good brakes and maybe start them in an empty parking lot first. neighborhoods can get sketchy with cars not expecting scooters

None. Get a NIU 100p it's $349 and the only one worth considering at the price

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
