This product is very nice, well built, collapses easy, and pleasing to look at. The wide board is awesome for both my feet, side by side, pointed forward.The build took about 5 minutes and then I was off on a trial run. While some have complained you need an app for the scooter to function, that is not true.The app allows you to register via Bluetooth for updates and to digitally lock the scooter. You can also track rides and speed, elevation and change characteristics of the scooter via the app if you so choose. You absolutely do not need the app open or phone on you to operate if you don’t want to.Personally I like the app because it shows a map you can use to find locations. You will need a phone mount for that though.The only reason I did not give five stars for all is because I’m bleeding power a bit quicker than I thought. From 20%, it took about 6 hours to charge but that is a lot of riding to get it that low. It easy charges to 100% while I sleep. I would say that I will need to charge about every 3-4 days under current usage.Very fun and great over bumps and rough portions of road/sidewalk/dirt roads, breaks are touchy but good.Overall, very happy with this scooter! For reference, I’m 6’1” and 215 and my scooter still sustains the max of 22 mph on flat and slight incline terrain.

I live near where I work, and use this to commute when the weather is nice. I am about 115lbs and the scooter gets a max of about 20mph with my weight on it. It handles bumps well and is easy to ride. Easy to fold up and easy to lift. I find it easier to slow to a stop by taking my thumb off the throttle more than I do to use the brakes. I don't plan to use the app; if you don't want to use the app either, once you turn on the head/taillight you won't be able to turn it back off without the app (it shuts off when you turn the scooter off, though). It has a display so you can track where your battery level is. I charge it every 3-4 days.Update: The only complaint I have after months of use is that the latch that holds the folded handlebar section down to the base (so you can easily carry the scooter) is not super strong. More than once, it has "let go" of the handlebars, causing the the scooter to unfold/fall. I have received some pretty nasty bruises from this, despite being careful of how/where I grip the scooter when I carry it, and doing my best to keep the weight evenly distributed across its length (not tipping it forward or back). Something to consider if you are regularly hauling this up/down stairs or into/through buildings.

As an owner of multiple electric scooter models and brands over the years, I was looking forward to my NIU KQi3 Max experience. Unfortunately, while my initial few months of ownership were very positive, the breakdown of key parts created an incredibly dangerous riding situation, leaving the scooter unridable, and the customer support received thus far has been disappointingly inadequate.The first three months of ownership were enjoyable, and after fixing an initial stem wobble with some Loctite, the KQi3 Max scores high marks for speed, acceleration, comfort, battery life, and design compared to other models in the price range.At the three-month mark of ownership, the throttle lever of my KQi3 Max became jammed in the 'on' position while riding. This malfunction resulted in an uncontrollable burst of acceleration that not only caused a minor accident, but it also shredded the rear tire — effectively rendering the scooter useless. Considering the high speeds this scooter is capable of, I consider myself lucky to have only sustained minor injuries. It could've ended significantly worse.Having faced problems with other brands in the past, I was aware that such issues can occur. What matters is how the company handles it. I promptly contacted NIU's support team to report this dangerous defect and was met with a sluggish, impersonal response. It took a week for them to finally get back to me with a ticket closure email, informing me that they are sending a replacement part for self-installation.My ticket ID, RMA BS230605-0002, apparently doesn't merit direct communication with a support team member or a conversation on an agreeable resolution. NIU's solution appears to be sending me an unidentified part with zero context or instructions for installation. Diagnosing the precise mechanical issue, determining the correct replacement part, and having the technical know-how to correctly install it should not be assumed as commonplace skills for all customers!Given the severity of the defect, a professional repair should at least have been initiated by NIU, or barring that, a complete unit replacement. The rear tire is connected to the motor, so it is possible not only the throttle but the propulsion system itself is compromised. There's a middling chance of me correctly identifying the severity of the issue and successfully fixing it myself, but the NIU team is just resorting to the cheapest and easiest option for them, not what will actually resolve the problem. How is an unidentified DIY part a good solution?It's disheartening and alarming how dismissive NIU has been regarding a defect that directly threatens user safety. In my extensive experience with electric scooters, I have never faced such a dangerous issue coupled with such a lackadaisical approach from the support team.In light of this, I cannot recommend the NIU KQi3 Max scooter or the company's support system. I will be happy to update my review if the support team is able to adequately address the mechanical issues, but at present, with numerous other reliable options available in the market, your safety and peace of mind deserve better.

The 100p scooter at $250 is an unbelievably good deal. It is extremely high quality for the price, feeling very sturdy. It has a basic headlight which doesn't illuminate much but makes you more visible in the dark, which is enough for well-lit cities. Battery life is not so good if you have a longer commute; in the freezing winter I could not get more than 6-8 miles out of it. When it warmed up I was able to get closer to 10 while going close to top speed. I really like the regen breaking as a way to smoothly stop without having to press the brake. But the brakes are also fairly high quality.

This is hands down the best scooter for the price. The front suspension and air filled tires make the ride incredibly smooth especially compared to solid tires, which tend to amplify every bump and vibration. The handlebar is a bit long, but it folds down, which is great for storage. I added a phone mount, though, so now I can’t fold it anymore. It’s a trade-off I had to make, but I do wish the handlebar were shorter to make it easier to navigate tight spaces and add more accessories.Battery capacity is modest, but for my daily commute which is flat and not very long this scooter is my best ally. It helps me avoid traffic and get to my destination quickly. Plus, its folding design and lightweight build make it super easy to carry up to my apartment without breaking a sweat.
