Niu Kqi3 Pro Scooter Feedback Reviews Wanted
I actually did 40 kilometers with the KQi3 Pro
Review Of The Niu Kqi3 Pro After About 500
my average commute is about 3 miles and I can aaalmost do two round trips at mostly full throttle.
the front light is excellent—it's been a huge help on mornings when I leave at 6am.
With no suspension you feel every bump; the tire size helps a little but I find myself bunny hopping over a lot of stuff.
Before buying I thought 40lbs would be easy to handle, but it can be a real pain to lug around sometimes.
It's definitely built to last and can take some abuse—I've ridden through mud, puddles, rain, dirt, snow, potholes, and cracked sidewalks.
Got My Niu Kqi3 Pro Some Initial Impressions
Haven't tested the range yet but seems to be slightly higher than 20mi on a full charge
The headlight is also awesome. Seems pretty bright but looks very cool and unique.
Ride quality is pretty good - similar to a Ninebot Max - but definitely a bit bumpier (especially felt in the hands) given the lack of suspension
it's definitely not the easiest scooter to carry up a walkup apt, or fit in a sedan trunk.
The app setup was quick and easy
Overall, this thing seems like a steal for $600.
Just Had My Niu Kq3 Pro Stolen Suggestions On
the range is very nice
On a scooter it makes maneuverability great since you hardly ever need to hit the brakes.
My KQ3 Pro was stolen earlier today (the lock was cut). I'd had a great experience with it over the past year. The only issue was a flat tire that I took to a bike shop to replace after ordering the replacement tire from Amazon. Next time I guess I'll invest in Tile/AirTags plus a motion alarm. Any recommendations on what to get next? I could just get another KQ3 Pro—looks like it's $550 on the website now. Otherwise the Gotrax G4 on Amazon looks to be around $500. Both seem pretty similar, so I'd love to hear pros of one versus the other. The built-in alarm on the Gotrax G4/G5 seemed pretty nice. EDIT JUNE 17th, 2024: I ended up getting a Gotrax G5. The motion alarm is nice, no idea if it will deter anyone. Battery life is fantastic compared to my old KQ3 Pro. Overall it's very similar. Downside: I miss the aggressive regen braking that the KQ3 Pro had. I'm used to driving Teslas and loved how the KQ3 Pro mimicked that. On a scooter it makes maneuverability great since you hardly ever need to hit the brakes. On my Gotrax I need to use the brake a lot. The other small difference is that the Gotrax goes into cruise control after 10 seconds of holding the accelerator down. At first I didn't like that—feels a bit dangerous—but I'm getting more used to it, so it may just be personal preference. Final thoughts so far: no major complaints. It rides basically the same as my old KQ3 Pro for my purposes and the range is very nice. A few personal preference items, but I'll probably get used to those quickly and not care.
Niu Kqi3 Pro 5 Day 110 Km Review
The roads in NYC in general are terrible and full of potholes, and I felt every. Single. Bump in the handlebars.
Build quality was nice though.

Handles the streets good but like Op said, slow down when you see potholes and hold on tight
Niu Kqi3 Pro 3 Months 650 Km Updated Review
Battery - It's pretty good range and weather wise + NIU has very good BMS.
Lighting is excellent, love the break light and headlight
The lack of suspension is a very fair trade off for the price of this scooter and it does just fine on roads but potholes you will wanna hold on tight or slow down.
Build Quality - A tank. The Irish rainy weather has no affect on it.
The customer service has gotten MUCH better & a parts store is now open.

The range is decent, but next time I'd want something that lets me wander further and really go on longer adventures.
Lighting is great — I really like the brake light and headlight
Getting parts is nearly impossible
Buying Decision Niu Kqi3 Pro Or Navee St3 Pro For
It's fine, but the ride is stiff due to the missing suspension
