Also ride the Niu kqi3 pro, but at around 7,000km, its battery degradation is making me use it less now. City pro’s 21700 cells seem pretty resilient to degradation. Also my Nami Klima Max (odo: 1000km) requires more maintenance than City Pro by quite a margin.

I’ve owned 3 scooter upgrading every time. NIU KQI 3 pro , Emove cruiser S , Roadrunner Rs5. All bought off Facebook at minimum 50% off and all less than 300 miles on them. Barely broken in IMO.

Heh, for whatever reason, fixing up scooters from fbmp has become a hobby of mine. I'm at 6 scooters right now. 2 basic gotrax ~$30/ea (bad battery connections), some no name scooter $30 (bad cell bank), niu kqi3 pro $free (crashed, bent front fork, bad tires), gotrax flex ultra $150(perfect condition, 40miles on it), zondoo zO01+ $150 (internal break in ignition wire, noisy bearing + broken off split rim screw in hub motor, unbalanced wheels, lighting harness shorted and melted, bad stem bearings)

I recently purchased the NIU KQI3 Pro at Best Buy for $469 (USD). It's awesome. 20mph, good range, solidly built. No suspension unfortunately but with the larger tires it's still a nice ride without breaking the bank.

NIU KQi3 Pro. You should be able to get one around $450. Goes 20mph, and has a range about 31 miles. The real world range I got at 180lbs was about 18 miles. You’ll probably get around 20-22 miles since you’re 110lbs.

I would assume the ratings are low because it’s $1000 and it has the same specs as a $450 scooter. It’s not a bad scooter, I owned a KQi3 Pro for 1000 miles and it was great. I didn’t need the extra light weight because it was just kept in my garage and didn’t need to be lifted almost ever. If you are looking for something specifically to be carried then the KQi Air is a great choice, at 26lbs I don’t think there is a single other scooter than even competes with its performance at that weight. If you aren’t concerned with price to get what you want, then get the Air. Gotrax is a trash company so I would avoid them at all cost.
