  Workhorse Scooter

  • Top 500 Contributor

  The NIU 200P KQI scooter is a great scooter for commuters or students, or for those just looking to get around. The build quality is very impressive and durable for daily use. I have no doubt this scooter will last a long time. The scooter comes pretty much assembled, other than a few screws and 10 minutes of your time. A full charge takes about 5 hours. Depending on your weight, real world distance for someone like me at 170lbs is around 25 miles or so between charges. The acceleration is very nice at full battery, but slows with less battery. I’m sure this is to save power. The scooter slows exponentially when under 10 percent battery left as do all scooters. The lighting on the scooter is very bright, headlight and brake lights are perfect for safety, day or night. The scooter breaks down very easily with a button in the lower handlebar, and folds and locks so it can be carried (about 40 lbs.) and put into a hatch or trunk. I was able to put mine in a Ford focus without issue. The handle bar has a small bell ringer on the left/brake side. The right side has turn signal controls. The light on each side for the signal is bright and tone alert loud. I loaned mine to my daughter, who is a college student. Now she wants one. It was much better than her current scooter. The handle bar has a nice hook that can be used to attach a lock. As I previously mentioned, the acceleration is very nice. The torque when taking off, or just increasing your speed when needed is instantaneous. The rear 700W motor is more than enough for this unit. The brakes are nice and are not grabby or extremely sensitive. It won’t throw you over the handle bars when full brake is applied. The rear brake is a regenerative brake. This happens when you let off the accelerator as the unit slows down, the battery receives a small charge. The tubeless tires are just right for this size of scooter. They along with the dual front shocks offer great stability when addressing rough roads or bumps. The deck is just perfect for my 9.5 size shoes but may be an issue with those who have larger feet. The app is great for this unit. I had my daughter try to pair her phone with the scooter after my phone was paired. She was unable to pair unless she would send in proof of purchase to the manufacture in order to pair it. I love this as not everyone can pair it and take off with it. Speaking of the app, it shows battery strength percentage, miles traveled, any faults, and location (only if you and scooter are in same location). You can tweak the settings to show mph or km. Also record your rides to show distance and speed. Daytime running light can be turned on or off, or turn both daytime and night light on. For security you can set alarm, and if the bike is moved 1 foot, the alarm and lights flash until turned off in app. The location of the bike and you are tracked if you turn on locations. But does not track scooter if it is stolen. You might find a conspicuous area for a “tag” if you require this, which is a great idea. The handle bar has a small bell ringer on the left/brake side. The right side has turn signal controls. The light on each side for the signal is bright and tone alert loud. I would recommend this to friends and family.

  Fun scooter with nice features

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  This was so simple to setup, literally took minutes. Most of it was assembled already, we just snapped the handlebars in and tightened it with the screws & wrench that was provided. Also included is a nozzle adapter for inflating the tires. The inflatable tires give it a smoother ride. The throttle is on the handlebars & is easy to use. I found that my arm was getting a little sore after awhile so I turned the auto cruise feature on, I highly recommend using it because after 5 seconds at the same speed it kicks in & you can let go of the throttle, this is on till you brake. The brakes are front drum & rear ebrake . I think disc brakes would be better but it stops well & it has regenerative braking which controls deceleration & can be set in the app. There is only one brake caliper. I like the turn signals which are bright & beep but sometimes they’re a little hard to turn off without turning the other one on. You can set what speed you want to kick start at, I have mine at 2mph. This can be turned off in the app but I’m keeping it on so the scooter doesn’t get away from me. This collapses for storage & the handlebars also fold down. It’s not a light scooter, it’s quite heavy, at least to me, I’m a small person. It goes well in grass & on slight inclines. There is a bright LED headlight with daytime running & a taillight. A small bell is on handlebars . Maximum speed is 18.6mph, I haven’t worked up to that yet, I’m at 15 mph. There is an app which is a must & the scooter must be on to customize it. There you can change from kilometers to miles, however the scooter itself still reads km. The app shows you how many miles you have left on your charge, you can set an alarm, it shows your riding data and you can also set your lighting, preferences, cruise control, customize your ride to kickstart limit, battery charge limit, and maximum speed. This is a real fun, smooth ride, easy to set up & use. Go have fun & ride one!

  Nice full featured electric scooter

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Summary: The NIU - Kqi 200P is great full featured electric scooter that is fun to use. Setup: The scooter comes well secured and is almost fully assembled. The box (and scooter itself) is a little heavier than I expected, so you may want some help with a second person to unbox. After removing the scooter from the box you need to attach and secure the handlebars to the base using the enclosed hex bolts. Before using the scooter, I fully charged it overnight. NIU App: After downloading the NIU app and creating an account, you will connect the scooter via a Bluetooth connection. Once connected, you can customize some of the settings of the scooter. This includes Start Speed: How fast you need to manually push the scooter before the motor can activate, Regeneration breaking: how much the scooter will slow down if the accelerator is not active, and Dynamic Mode: acceleration characteristics. There is also a way to lock and unlock the scooter. Riding experience: This was my first experience with an eclectic scooter, so I had a little bit of a learning curve on the first few attempts to ride. However, after a few tries I was able to get a hang of how to properly stand and balance on it. I like the scooter needs to be moving at a min speed before the motor kicks in, to ensure it doesn’t accidently turn on. I do like that the scooter has shocks on it. It made for a smooth ride going over speed humps and cracks in sidewalks. One note is that I do think they should have some kind of safety string that will shut off the motor in case you step off the scooter and don’t let off the accelerator. Storage: The scooter can conveniently fold down to make it easier for storage and transport. You just need to be aware that the scooter is on the heavier side and may be difficult for some to pick up and carry.
