"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"

"it handles our crummy sidewalks, and grass, and the beach, like a champ."
"I’m a city commuter myself, I’ve got a Niu Kqi3 Pro and it rides like a dream."
"I prefer big pneumatic wheels because we do some trails and the sidewalks near us might as well be trails. ... We have a Thule Urban Glide and love it"

"Niu is still an amazing scooter. ... I have the kqi3 pro with almost 1000 miles on it and I love it. ... the kqi3 pro has been a beast."
"worth the extra weight for a scooter that’s sturdy. ... I’m a Windy City commuter myself"

"I commute to work on it every day, granted it’s only 4ish miles round trip. But that said, I only use 20ish percent of the battery round trip, and it’s a lot of stops and starts. ... Did almost 15 miles with 20% of the juice left when I got home."
"You’ll get ~18 miles on the KQi3 Pro"
"has 31 miles"

"But that and the evenflow have zero suspension - nearly launched her out hitting an uneven sidewalk one day."
"when I tried a friend's F2 Pro,on somewhat degraded roads, it felt like I was going to damage my spinal cord lol, lack of back suspension really shakes you like a tree."
"No suspension is up to personal preference in my opinion; it’s going to be less maintenance and less things to go wrong, but it can be a rough ride when hitting bumps in the road."

"Inclines of 10-15° would result in a top speed of 14-17km/h at full battery, whereas a short incline of 20-25° reduced me to 4-7km/h. At inclines of 30° I was completely stopped even in sport mode. ... This isn't going to be what I'd consider commuter viable for anyone over 75kg - unless they live in dead flat suburbs."
"the G2 is NOT good for hills. It slows a ton."
"The hill totally stops my G30"

"So, I already have a Niu KQI3 Pro, and its a nice little commuter scooter, but having the throttle wide open and maxed out, i get maybe 20 mi range at 20 mph. ... for the most part I'm happy with my kqi3, but it lacks in longevity... ... i didn't have intentions on riding longer than a few miles at a time.. but then the weather got nice and i had time off... and here we are lolol"
"one concern is the low range."

"Yeah, I live on 3rd floor (stairs only), that’s why weight is a concern. ... KQI 3 Pro probably is the best scooter for its price as much as I have researched, but it is heavier."
"Keep in mind this thing weighs 100lbs. Even though I am a big guy, it is not easy to tote this thing around."
"It is super heavy 39kg so If you don’t have elevator you will suffer a lot. 😃"
i would just get the kqi3 pro if you're getting the 2, it's worth the extra money for battery and speed. also the fat wheels are awesome for turning and traction.
r/ElectricScooters • Value scooter for lite autocross use. ->They've had horrible issues with Customer Service lately. I have 1200 miles on my KQI3 Pro, and the back tire needs to be replaced, which seems like a total pain in the ass. Only issues I've had so far, was the brakes werent aligned properly, back tire, and back fender broke off from vibration. I've rode in a rain and snow storm, as well as low as -5f outside, and it still holds up.
r/ElectricScooters • Is niu a good scooter brand? I only see good reviews from segway and xiaomi but is this scooter worth a try? ->RS6 ultra 2900. What I bought. Upgrading from a Nui Kqi
r/ElectricScooters • Advice on an electric scooter ->https://preview.redd.it/bbk0rsyewmqf1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93cb116d6caefc3899f2eaa5d049f7fc5d4390e0 My City’24 is still going strong. 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.
r/ElectricScooters • Why do people on this subreddit hate Apollo? ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Scooter Advice ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Would you buy a used electric scooter for work commute? ->Ninebot Gmax1 or niu kqi3pro is your answer. If you can get the G2 or the kqi3max even better. That's all you really ever going to need
r/ElectricScooters • Best electric scooter for daily work commute? ->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)
r/ElectricScooters • I got my first electric scooter a month ago…. I may have developed a problem…… ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Budget electric scooter ->I just got a Niu Kqi3 pro last week, so, i dunno....
r/ElectricScooters • Do people still buy name brands? ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Needed Advice for Best Electric Scooter for 230lb Rider – $500 Budget, 15+ Mile Range ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Best Scooter for less than $500 ->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.
r/ElectricScooters • Scooter options ->niu kqi3. I had the last model too and they've both been consistently reliable. Same scooter for over 3 years and I've ridden about 2k km and she's doing great apart from one flat tire replacement.
