I have a KQI3 pro and going like 26/27kmh it still takes me around 32km on one charge, after about 100cycles and 5000km. It is super solid, my main complaint is there is no replacement battery without a hack. https://github.com/belveder79/NIUScooterHacking I’m currently upgrading a KQI3 Sport with a large battery- finish estimated in about a week from now…
I was thinking the same thing, Nami seems be the most recommended brand by a long shot
Ya, I had one for a couple months but end up selling it and using that money to get an Apollo City Pro. But now I’m looking for something that can keep up with traffic. If I didn’t want a higher top speed I probably would have kept my Apollo Go
I’ve had so far the NIU KQI3 Pro, Emove Cruiser, Apollo Go and Apollo City Pro. I’m looking for something to keep up with traffic. It does seem like Nami is the most recommended brand by anyone.
I’ve had the Apollo Go and Apollo City Pro and absolutely loved those scooters, I’ve rode some mantis’ but they always seemed to be lower build quality to me
Niu have some great deals now you get a €600+ scooter for under €300. Plenty of reviews on YouTube kqi 300 pro is a great choice. Have one myself
Niu kqi 3 pro. On sale now for 289€ in the nui website. Nothing can beat that price for what you get. Only drawback not easy to unlock to 30kmh so 25kmh if not unlocked.
What kind of surface will you ride? The wheels om this is super smooth. For everything except off road it is super smooth. For city rides i feel it is better than the ones with suspension I ride.
I also read reddit and some negative of niu. Still bought one and no issues at all. Plenty of tests on YouTube on the range in full speed, sure you wont go the full range on full speed. In your budget it will be hard to get something that guarantee your range at speed and hills. The battery is expensive and suspension as well. In your budget it will be hard to find, you wont find a better deal than nui has now. Maybe look at a used more expensive but then you never know with the battery. Good luck in your hunt!
NIU KQi3 Pro doesn’t have suspension, it’s a single 800 watt motor. I mean it’s good for what it is, but without having suspension, the scooter takes all of the brute force really. Now, I know they are other models that NIU makes that do have suspension, but at the time I bought mine, the models with suspension were a bit out of my price range. NIU is good for starters I would say, but not something for intermediate riders. NUI gives the same energy as Ninebot lowkey.
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.
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.
