NIU - KQi 300P

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

I got Niu 300p for 440€

Based on your needs—4-mile flat commute, 245lb weight capacity, rain resistance, and a $1,000 budget—the NIU KQi 300X and Segway Max G2 stand out. The KQi 300X offers a powerful motor, excellent build quality, and IP55 water resistance, making it a solid choice. The Segway Max G2 is well-known for its durability, long range, and smooth ride, plus it has IPX5 water resistance, which is great for Seattle’s rain. Both handle heavier riders well, but the Segway Max G2 has a more minimalist design. If you prioritize power and performance, go with the KQi 300X. If you want reliability and rain resistance, the Segway Max G2 is your best bet.

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.

Yea get the NIU kqi300p

KQI 300P, just got it per my brothers recommendation, hes had it for a while and has had several scooters in the past. So far I am really pleased. 

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.

My Niu KQI3 P has been excellent so far. Would say it’s only negative takeaway for some would be the weight, but I like it a lot

I love my KQI 300P

I have a NIU KQi 300p (900W). I live in Seattle, on a hill, surrounded by hills and since I am about 192lbs, the 300p does struggle at bit. Yes, I should have bought a dual motor. I'm thinking about giving the 300p to my daughter and getting a replacement scooter. Would the Ninebot Max G3's 2,000W single motor be enough to haul me up hills or should I still look at a dual motor?

it’s hilarious that the street view caught somebody walking a bike up 83rd. The hill I live on looks a little steeper than both of those and my NIU does stop halfway up with an error code unless I kick it up the hill. It could be due to it overheating. is your 1000 W motor nominal or peak? I assume nominal?

I got a NIU KQi 300p for $285, slightly used on FB marketplace. 22-25m range. But on Amazon I think they go for $700.
