    Super light weight scooter

    NIU kqi air carbon fiber foldable scooter is super fast and super light, especially if you commute every day and need to take the train and bus. It’s perfect for long commutes involving both the train and bus. With a scooter, you no longer have to wait for the bus — you already have your own ride, It’s easy to fold when you need to use the stairs, and you don’t have to wait for the elevator because you can carry your scooter. If you’re in a hurry, you can also carry it since it’s lightweight.. The downside of this scooter is that sometimes you need to check the screws on the handlebar, because since it’s made of carbon fiber, they can loosen a bit faster. So you should always check if the screws are tight — but not overly tight. That’s the only downside for me, but you still need to be careful.

    WARNING - DON'T BUY!

    As product, it's light. But like most people here said, The after sales service is horrible. Don't be like me and ignore this complaint because it's true and i now regret buying this scooter. The front wheel was wobbly out of the box, apparently a common problem. Instead of sending me a replacement wheel, they rejected my claim (only found out after i had to send them a second email) and said i must send in the entire scooter. Unacceptable, impractical solution. They just want you to go away after you buy the scooter. Therefore, the scooter can't be easily maintained. Very disappointed. DON'T BUY.

    Lightweight but Disappointing Engineering

    You'll never find a spare tire. I searched everywhere, from the official website to Aliexpress, and no sealants or rubber adhesives can solve the issue of the tire deflating at the rim. The scooter is marketed as very lightweight, and that's true, but this lightness makes it frustrating to use as the scooter tends to pop wheelies every time it starts. Overall, the concept is very promising, but the execution, engineering solutions, and after-sales support are disappointing not only for this model but for the brand as well. I tried to replace my old Ninebot F30 with it, but I still rely on the F30 after two years with no issues other than changing the spare tire that came with it. The Niu Air, however, just sits around because I have no desire to pump up the tire twice a day.
