KQi3 Pro

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!

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.

I bought my son an NIU kqi and it’s great.

* G30 platform probably has the best parts availability. * Yeah; Nius are a late model car style example of engineers HATING mechanics, and deploying shitty plastics all over everything for no reason and so forth. * All tubeless tires have the bead seating frustration and all monolithic rims are going to be the same hassle to change tires. This isn't a design issue. * What is going on with the dropouts, loosening axle nuts and spinning axle warrants further investigation. The axle should be anti-rotated mainly by the dropout slot. If it is egged out, it must be repaired by any means necessary or an additional tight fitting slotted steel part added to the dropout leg to resist the torque. The tabbed washer is a backup and more to ensure wheel retention if the axle nuts slightly loosen. These are a commodity PEV part. The washer being "worn" or marked on the surface should not be involved or a problem. If lock washers are present at all, are "worn" and clearly not locking, they should be replaced. Insufficient torque is probably why the axle nuts loosen. * You don't need to replace a motor because the cable was damaged. Open it up and replace the cable.
