NIU - KQi 200P Electric Scooter

Are you keeping it outside in Downtown? Because it will be gone in less than a hour, if not 30 minutes no matter how many locks you have on it. Your best option is the NIU KQI 200P though. If you're in the city, never leave it outside. I refuse to go anywhere inside that won't let me bring it inside with me. That's why I usually stay at Ogilvie.

I’ve had both and I’d say getting one depends on your needs. The 100p is great for its $279 price, Solid build quality, and decent looks. I’m 230lbs and the range is abysmal; I’d get around 6-10 miles on a charge on relatively flat terrain. Also it has tube tires which makes it more prone to flat (I got a flat a few days after owning) and returned it. Come the kqi 200p It’s quite faster, looks better, MUCH longer range, and looks better. I’m iffy about the tubeless tires but other than that it’s an all around better scooter. The kqi 200p came with a faster charger and charges a bit faster but is significantly heavier. TL;DR: Get the 100p if you’re lighter and want a well built scooter at a great price and good portability (get the fast charger). Get the 200p if your a heavy weight like me and want a REAL commuter.

They’re built very well I had a kqi100p and returned it for the 200p but both were built very well.

That is a well written summary. The biggest difference is range and power, and the right choice very much depends on your use case and what range you need for daily commutes and whether there are any hills in your area. Same is true when you go from the KQi200 to KQi300, bit more range and power difference.

I just got the Niu 200 for $349 last week at Best Buy. It's back to $400 now but it does go on sale.

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

Niu Kqi they have multiple ones to choose from for every budget and there known to be a very good scooter I like mine a lot I have the 100 f

I do not door dash, but i do travel to pick up fast food with my scooters. I bought a food delivery bag/backpack...carries 4 drinks, 4 pizzas. You need 2 motors, 5000W+ for taking hills at 30+. You need dual suspension and model that takes a steering dampener, mirrors because anybody movement with backload is super dangerous. Get an offroad scooter for taking shortcuts. I have 3 foldable scooters: an apollo go, a niu kick, and a Reddydy RD2. I use the rd2 in single motor mode most of the time and get around 50 miles per charge. Another thing to note, is that I wish this one had a regen break, very good for hilly areas.

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.

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.
