The KQI3 Max is honestly still one of the best in that weight class - most newer stuff has gotten bloated with features nobody asked for. Maybe check out the Segway P65 if you can find one, similar weight but better build quality than the G30 series
I also have both, but to be honest with you, I am very disappointed in the 300x. I actually prefer their kqi3 max over it. For 1 I really dislike the twist throttle design. Twist throttle works great on a ebike, but doest work as well on a scooter because you riding on a scooter you need to maintain good balance and sometimes it causes your wrist to slight turn thus accidentally accelerating. So my rides on 300x is a little herky jerky.
Also as a result of the twist throttle I don't use my right hand brake as well, because I can't keep fingers on brakes.
Also the front suspension is a little stiff. As far as I know it can't be adjusted ( unlike the gmax2)
NIU KQI 300 Max is on sale for $749. I owned this scooter before jumping to the Teverun Blade Mini Ultra. The NIU is a solid, reliable, and quality build. Definitely the best at that price. Much better than the NIU KQI 3max which has no suspension.

Hi all,
first time on this sub, but i’ve had my niu kqi3 max for 1.5 years now.
My overall review for NIU is that they lack serviceability; tires are very hard to get on especially without an air compressor to set the bead; tire changes suck.
The lock washer and lock nut came loose 5 months ago, wrapping the cord around the axle and partially ripping the motor cord from its socket. It didn’t, so i went back home and put locktite on and whilst doing it, noticed that the cord had been partially torn just on the surface, no internal damage. I also noticed that my lock washers were worn down, but it is a specialty piece so I couldn’t find any replacements. I figured a tight enough nut and locktite would do the trick.
Fast forward to today, and my cord yet again wrapped itself around the axle and this time error 12 came up which is pretty bad. Replacements are $400 just for the rear motor (wtf)!!
Is there a scooter that i can service? I’m done with NIU and this weird axle washer wear problem.
