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.

I’ve bought 2 used scooters. I keep eye on marketplace and found my first scooter niu pro 3 barely used then upgraded to an emove cruiser S with about 500 miles on it in excellent condition. I got both of them for about 1/3 of new retail price. Sold the NIU after about a year for 100 less than I paid for it. I’m looking to upgrade again if I see what I want. I’m really liking to Roadrunner Rs5 max currently.

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.

I’ve never ridden one, but I know they are reliable. It’s an out dated model though. I would go with the KQi3 Pro over the G30P in my opinion. You’ll get ~18 miles on the KQi3 Pro, but if you don’t need it immediately, I’d try and wait it out to see if you can get the Max on a discount. Literally every other month they have some new sale. I will also say that I’ve seen the pro go for $430, so that’s also an extremely enticing deal. Either way NIU makes some great scooters that perform better than you might expect them too.

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.

Check out NIU. They usually have bundle deals that give you more off than the sales are already giving you. You could get them a pair of KQi3 Pro’s which are 20mph scooters with a decently battery so they can ride for as long as they want. I see that the other scooters you have are a little faster. You could also look into the KQi3 Max bundle, it’s a 24mph scooter and that’s probably faster than any 15 year old needs to go.

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.

Been rocking the kqi300pro for a couple months. Love it so far

I just got a used NIU KQi3 Pro for $200 off Facebook marketplace and that has a 31 mile range. You can find much better for cheaper if you go second hand

That’s cool! I just rode it for the first time yesterday and I can already tell they make some good scooters. I only intended to take it out for a little test stroll while my laundry was running but ended up riding around for 2 hours because it was so fun
