  • 10/10 - E-Scooter Value King! Highly Recommended
I just crossed 100 miles on the KQi3 Pro yesterday, and I adore it. I can't afford a car in this economy, so I've been walking all over the place in Texas for years, and this gives me a massive amount of freedom. This thing's built like an absolute tank, and incredibly well-designed - you can definitely tell that NIU has been building actual sit-down scooters for years, and they're the only scooter company I know of listed on the NASDAQ, so I feel pretty confident that everything's above-board and I'm not driving around on a lemon. At the price I paid($500), it's clearly the best scooter for the money right this moment, unless you can still find the Max model for $600(I missed that by a literal day, they sold out). It might be worth it to look into the NIU 300P or Segway Max G2 for their suspensions, but if you don't mind feeling the bumps a little in your knees, this is well worth the price savings; those are $800+! Most bumpiness is absorbed by the tires, anyways, and I think for a first e-scooter, not having a suspension might be better for learning how your scooter interacts with the terrain. The KQi3 Pro weighs around 45 pounds, and the folding/latch mechanism is widely considered the best on the market by most reviewers. It's rock-solid and makes it easy to bring up and down a couple flight of stairs every day. It's not quite lightweight(look to their Air model for that, but it's twice the price), but I have no problem carrying it around. I use it for commute, and my 27-minute fast-walk to work turned into a 17 minute scooter trip at 9MPH and a 14-minute trip with speeds unlocked and 20MPH on long, straight paths. Previously I only walked around 2 miles out, and with this, I've made several trips 6+ miles from home. I've downloaded like 8 fast food apps in the past month, it's amazing, haha. I strongly, strongly recommend getting a U-lock and never ever ever leaving your scooter unattended without it locked down. I got a nice Kryptonite U-lock in a physical store for only $20, but Amazon seems to sell comparable locks for $40. I'm going to double up with a U-lock AND a chain whenever I have to leave it outside for over an hour, like at the DMV or when I'm giving plasma. I weigh around 195lb at 6"1 with very long legs, and it's comfy for me, even if I do have to look straight down to see the little display. At 9MPH you really do get 31 miles of range. At 13MPH I found that I'd get 26 miles, and at 20MPH, it was more like 21 miles. I rode at 9MPH for a couple weeks, raised it to 13MPH for a few days and then accidentally set it to 20MPH, only to find that 20MPH is totally comfy at my newbie level of experience. Throttle is good enough that I can go 20MPH on straight, flat paths, release a little throttle to drop down to ~12-14MPH on uncertain terrain, and release further for sharp turns at ~7-9MPH. Regen braking is spectacular, I have it set to Weak(the default setting) and I usually just let regen do the job, but the dual disc brakes are very effective for quicker stopping. Almost ran over a squirrel a few days ago when he ran across my path unexpectedly, they saved his bacon! Braking is arguably more important than accelerating, and they didn't skimp out at all here. The headlamp feels perfectly sufficient for illuminating the path ahead at night(double-tap the power button to turn it off or on), and it's freely adjustable. Some people buy extra lamps and latch them onto their scooter handles, but I feel zero need to do so. The headlamp is perfect. The KQi3 lineup is water-resistant and dust-resistant, IP54, so it should be able to handle the rain, but I'd recommend only scootering if it's a very light rain; if it's heavily pouring, you're not gonna have great traction and you're significantly more likely to suffer a bad fall. Same with the snow - if the path is iced over, you're a lot more likely to fall. Don't scooter over snow, and try to keep out of the mud and leaves. I recommend a tire cleaner spray and a microfiber cloth over hosing it down, it may be water-resistant but hosing down a device like this isn't really recommended. Better to baby an e-scooter, no matter how much of a tank it is. I went overboard my first week with a 3/4ths helmet that was way too hot and heavy, and found out I have an XXL head that needs a larger helmet, hence staying at the slower 9MPH for so long. Ended up getting a Bontrager Wavecel XL helmet, standard bike helmet design. Safety first, but you do need to consider comfort and heat. Motorcycle helmet'll provide maximal protection, but honestly, at 20MPH or below, a bike helmet'll probably cover your butt and it's significantly more comfortable. Don't be like me, get a well-fitted helmet from day one. Top dangers on a scooter are head injuries, then abrasions, then broken/strained wrists and knees. Helmet takes care of the main thing, and at some point I'll get some motorcycle armor for the rest of it. I haven't fallen a single time, but apparently it's an inevitability, especially at higher speeds and in unfamiliar areas. Recommended accessories: bike pump($10), Kryptonite U-lock/chain($20-$80), phone mount($16), a second charger($20), a scooter bag($25), a two-shoulder-straps backpack. I also ordered Armor-Dilloz self-healing tire solution, the 9.5" NIU KQi3 Pro tires are great but they aren't self-healing. This'll resolve small punctures even better than the more common Slime option that's cheaper and more readily available. At the moment, replacement tires only run you $27 each, brake disc rotors are $7 each and brake pads are like $2 each. I haven't had to change anything out yet, but apparently it's a pretty good scooter to maintain. Oh, regarding the app, some people complain about it but I think it's absolutely perfect for newbies. You have to scooter at a lower speed for a little bit before they let you unlock the higher speeds. You can turn off the setting that makes you go 3MPH before it'll activate throttle, but I'm going to keep that on long-term. It's a great safety feature, and I walk faster than 3MPH, so I just walk a couple steps with the scooter and hop on. So yeah, the KQi3 Pro is top-tier, can't recommend it enough. I'd like to get a Segway Ninebot Max G3 once that hits the market, that'd be the next step up, but it'll probably be more than twice the price of this and weigh 10 more pounds, so it'll be more of a hassle to carry up and down flights of stairs. I hope to use this for many years and thousands of miles, and I will definitely update my review if I run into any problems. ... show more

  • This scooter was okay until it became dangerous to ride
Here is an update: I managed to replace the stock broken throttle with a new hopefully higher quality one from amazon. The process is kind of simple but requires you learn basic wiring once the control panel is disassembled. You will need this kit ( CQRobot 600 Pieces 2.0mm JST-PA JST Connector Kit. 2.0mm Pitch Female Pin Header, JST PA - 2/3/4 Pin Housing JST Adapter Cable Connector Socket Male and Female, Crimp DIP Kit.) along with a crimper for JST connectors and pliers to make the connections, then some hot glue to seal the wires in and a waterproofing sealant if you want to maintain the Ip 54 rating. But the biggest tip i can give is that the red, green and black wires for the throttle represent red(positive) black(negative) and green(signal) so when buying a throttle match that throttles colors and definitions with the ones on the control panel (the throttle you buy will have the positive negative and signal pairing in the definition of the product page generally). I was naive at first and i thought red was negative green positive and black signal because this is the typical pattern but, in this case it wasn't. best of luck when you encounter this throttle issue someday, glad this scooter didn't become E waste and make sure to take your time. I'm going to start off with the underline issues of this scooter, this scooters throttle is a brittle mess that will break on you eventually and unless you are comfortable disassembling a 700-dollar electric scooter your basically out of luck. The throttle worked for about two months and then it intermittently started to cut off every few minutes. This is a problem because when the throttle would cut off and regen braking was on, it would throw me forward due to regen braking activating when it senses the throttle is de activated. I'm sure you can imagine just how dangerous this is, imagine rolling through at 20 mph and having your motor cut off and being thrown into the road? I would highly suggest if you have this scooter and its past its return period, that you turn off regen braking in the Niu scooter settings immediately. It will still be available when you pull your brake levers because there is another sensor for regen braking built into the levers, well unless that fails someday also... Not to mention the nightmare of dealing with flat tires on this thing, good luck. But now for the positives (Range is about 13-15 miles in hilly areas maybe 20 if it's completely flat, charging is about 5-6 hours from 20 percent, Battery life is decent i would say i get an hour and a half of constant riding in my area and i weigh 200 pounds. The ride itself is also quite comfortable even without actual shock absorbers, and finally when adjusted properly the braking is strong and reliable. But none of this means anything if the scooter won't even last you a year before it becomes a death trap so unfortunately i cannot recommend. I hate leaving bad reviews because i know how integral good reviews are for a company's success in e commerce, but this was simply inexcusable and quite honestly negligent. Keep in mind i bought this scooter in the summer and it was never ridden in the rain and i asked Niu for help regarding this issue but now its 2 weeks later and still no response from them, so much for that 2-year warranty... ... show more

  • Awesome and durable!
I have had mine since December 11, 2022 and it has been a champ! Don't forget to keep your tires inflated to maintain max speed and battery life. I should note most of the time I owned this I was above the recommended weight limit but that has never been an issue. (Lost a ton recently and I can tell the scooter is grateful, launches much quicker now.) The only issue I have had was a crack in the tire valve stem but nothing major at all. I am in the process of getting repair from an official NIU shop to get that repaired. I am not expecting that to be covered by a warranty since that is normal wear and tear. I will update this review after the repair but only if it turns into a disaster. I have put some serious miles on this thing, I love it!. ... show more

  • Best for the price
Worked perfectly good for 2 years and counting. Used as a daily commute to work around 6 miles a day. Replaced 2 tires as of today. I was way over the weight limit. Should be careful with brake though. Fell forward definitely if brake at once.
