NIU - KQi 300X Foldable Electric Kick Scooter w/ 50 mi Max Range & 24 mph Max Speed - Space Gray

First time ever purchasing an electric scooter! Decided to go all out and get the one with all the bells and whistles and oh man is it something else let me tell you. From the premium design and build quality you can definitely tell you are getting your moneys worth. I come from a Razor scooter from back in the day and got one of these to play outside with my young padawan and I absolutely love it! The battery lasts so long and the 23mph you unlock via the NIU app makes you know what it must feel like to fly in a sense lol (of course being in a safe environment). Has 2 modes, E-Save (slower experience 8mph top speed) and normal mode which maxes out at 23mph depending on your app settings of course. What made me fall in love with is its relative fast speed at 23mph and the iconic halo headlight NIU keys onto their electric scooters which makes it such a beauty! Give it a shot! Best friendly budget welcome scooter money can buy!

I have had this scooter now for several weeks and truely enjoy it. Once you know how to use the different modes, it is very practical. A common comment is that the throttle is very sensitive. You have to be careful in the beginning but once you are aware and get used to it, no problem. A feature which is very handy is the cruise control. Spped limits: For beginners set your speed maximum at 14 mph. 23 mph is FAST if you are not used to it. I take my scooter in the trunk of my car on day trips. After folding, it is easy to fit in a small sedan (Corolla), and not too heavy to lift in and out. Halo headlight and blinkers are great at night.

For the most part it is a great scooter, but since they went away from the thumb throttle and now have the half twist throttle you must be careful. The throttle is terribly sensitive for the very first turn. I mean it is like a switch rather than a linear curve. I have to make sure my foot is well planted and really grip the handles and try to gently twist the throttle. A few times it has done a wheelie when I was not ready for it. Just plain dangerious and no signs to fix the problem even thought I have brought to NUI;s attention. I did 3D print a mount for a basket.

Great acceleration, good handling and smooth ride. Able to handle all paved roads and small bumps. Would not recommend off road. 24mph, range is half when you dial it up to full speed. Lock mode is cool but glitchy takes a minute to unlock if you are in a hurry.

I upgraded to the KQi 300X for my daily travel, and it has been an absolute game-changer. The wide deck makes standing comfortable, the folding mechanism is solid and easy to operate, and the dual disc brakes offer great stopping power. The battery life is very impressive, and being able to customize speed modes in the app is a nice touch. Best Buy had it ready for pickup right away, and I couldn't be happier with the decision!
