    I bought this scooter for daily commuting and it has exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use, comfortable, and well built. The battery lasts a long time and it works perfectly for short and medium trips. Great quality for the price. I highly recommend it.

    NIU 100p scooter

    Overall for the price point, this scooter is beyond what you’d expect. 1) 0-17.4 mph in a few seconds. 2) You will get roughly 11-18 miles out of a single charge, ( depending on how fast you’re going and your weight). 3) Can hold up to 265 lbs 4) The NIU 100p is a fun commuter that is built to last. 5.) Would recommend to friends and family! The only con is that the it lacks turning signals for street riding, in which case you can get the NIU 100F for a little more $! Also when you need to change tires you’ll have to send it to the factory to be replaced but do not fret, it comes with a 2 year warranty! Get riding!

    Runs super smooth, my main concern was the weight limit on a budget friendly scooter, but this one holds up to 265lbs, which is pretty good for a tall person like myself. And super easy to store with its foldable design.

    This was my 1st scooter so I did a ton of research before purchasing. The initial this I noticed was how hefty it is and along with reliable durability. Commute back and forth to work is about 5 miles and I still have 50% of my battery. The scooter has great speed, even with me being an above-average person in height and weight (6 ft, 200 lbs). The app is very user-friendly and easy to understand. The only negative is that the guidebook is very detailed, so you'd have to Google some things.

    My "NIU - KQi 100P Scooty" arrived 3 weeks ago. For its friendly budget price it rides extremly smooth. My on complaint is the battery, The battery tends to die quicker than expected, i wish the battery last longer. I bought the "NIU - KQi 100P Scooty" as a starter kit to learn, sooner or later i would like up upgrade to higher level Niu Scooter !!!

    I purchased this scooter as a birthday gift for someone special and they loved it from the second they laid eyes on it, when they read the manual they loved how it connects to their phone through the NIU app, and how it fits in their sedan trunk (anyone who owns a sedan knows how small the trunks are). I would purchase this again!

    Right off the bat the scooter looks nice and rides smooth but upon opening the box I see that the valve stem is missing. No biggie I contacted the company via email they provided a phone number that nobody ever answers so customer service isn’t great. Then the scooter started throwing error codes randomly and would just shut off while riding it. On the app they show different error messages and every single one I got said contact dealer so then you need to contact the dealer that doesn’t respond. Then a couple days later the back tire lost all air pressure and went flat. Overall really terrible scooter. Also not to mention that the scooter shows when the battery was made and it showed 2024 so it had been sitting for 2 years. And on top of that Best Buy had terrible customer service with very rude and disrespectful reps who wouldn’t help me at all when I would call for support. I wouldn’t recommend this scooter to anybody unless you want error codes shutting off and having to replace the tire 10 days into ownership. Try Hiboy they seem to make great produces.

    I purchase this scooter on Aug 7 and the rear tire has come apart already and its Aug 31. I cannot return it to best buy because they said I am not a plus member. I have had a best buy account for 20 plus years and this is the treatment I get for being a long time customer

    My son broke his arm when he drove past a road where there wasn't much water and he slipped. I don't think it's a very good product for braking.

    Punches Above Its Weight yet Hits Below The Belt

    I’ve been using this scooter as my primary mode of transportation, and it has been a generally positive experience. The build quality is solid, and it handles my 220 lb weight without issue. However, there are some design aspects that may not suit everyone. The deck feels a bit cramped, especially for those with larger feet—my size 12 shoes sometimes lead to foot cramps on longer rides. When it comes to performance, the scooter delivers around 8 miles per charge at full throttle, which is decent for its price range. The regenerative braking system, while intended to enhance efficiency and extend the lifespan of the mechanical brakes, hasn’t been particularly impressive. In fact, I’ve found that turning the regenerative braking off and simply coasting results in better mileage, making me question the overall efficiency of regen braking. Ideally, there would be a secondary brake lever for regenerative braking, as toggling it on or off through the app isn’t the most intuitive. But given the price point, this isn’t a huge complaint. The suspension works well enough that I rarely think about it—when it’s doing its job, that’s exactly how it should be. Another strength of the scooter is the super-safe charging system, which adds a layer of reliability and peace of mind. However, the biggest drawback is the difficulty of repairs and finding replacement parts. I experienced a flat tire recently and quickly discovered that the tire size (9.5x2.3) isn’t easy to find. Replacement parts are sold out on NIU’s website and are scarce elsewhere. While some riders have successfully used a slightly wider tire (9.5x2.5), doing so would void the warranty, according to NIU. Furthermore, even simple repairs like fixing a flat tire require sending the entire scooter back to NIU if you want to maintain your warranty. This is a major inconvenience and could be a dealbreaker for people who value the warranty, as I do. In addition, I’ve encountered a few issues with the app. Specifically, the ride tracking feature has never worked properly. The speedometer also resets back to kilometers per hour instead of miles per hour on its own, which can be frustrating. Occasionally, random error codes appear, but all I’ve had to do is reset the app, unpair my phone, and re-pair it, and the scooter works perfectly fine again. It may sound like all I’m doing is complaining about the scooter, but despite these issues, I would still definitely recommend it. It delivers great performance, reliability, and value, and with a few improvements, it could be a near-perfect scooter for its price. This version includes your note about still recommending the scooter despite the issues. Let me know if you’d like any more changes!
