Fantastic review! Great job. You should have mentioned why it is the perfect scooter. I actually sold two scooters to replace them with this one. The reason. I had the etwow lightweigt scooter but it is not protected against water. I therefore bought the Ninebot es 1 but it was was underpowered. It is waterproof though. The KQI air ticks all the boxes. Lightweight, powerful, water resistant and well built.

Thanks for the fast reply. It's odd -- some EU countries - it's not illegal to have it go faster as long as you have insurance and a drivers license and only drive it fast on the road. Alas just cannot buy it like that!@@ElectricVehicleSpace

@greatestsportslegends 15 күн бұрын

Great review... as always. What a beautiful scooter. I wish they would have put that console on the left side of the handlebar, instead of the right. That way you can keep on the throttle and change settings if you want. I might also add more non-slip strip on the middle of that board... the fiberglass would get slippery when wet. Aside from that... this is exceptional! Question... what city are you in?

It has better torque than my KQI3 Pro. I wish the speed was closer to 22-23mph though. It’s a very nice looking machine. I’m not too hip to the security feature. I need to look further into turning that off. When I move it around in the house, I have to turn it on with NFC otherwise it fights any rolling.

@ElectricVehicleSpace 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree, I asked them to release to 22mph fso many times but because of the legal issues they will not agree and keep it in 20mph top speed range. Not much we can do here unless you replace the controller.

@niumobility 3 ай бұрын

Hi there. NIU KQi Air scooter is waterproof at IP55 level. The battery pack (body) is waterproof at IPX7 level. The KQi Air has a 350 Watts brushless direct current motor and an air-cooled battery pack of 451.2 Wh (9.4 Ah). The motor is in the rear wheel, which is better for traction. With a maximum engine output power of 700W, the scooter can reach 20 mph (32 kph) (US), travel up to 31 miles (50 km) and climb up to 20%. Note: Due to the stricter regulations in Europe, the scooter is limited to 15.5 mph (25 kph). In Germany, the local authority regulates that the maximum speed of electric scooters must be within 12.4 mph (20 kph). Equipped with a 451.2 Wh lithium battery, the KQi Air has a typical range of 31 miles (50 km) on a single charge. Due to different regional policies, users may not be allowed to take scooters to the subway, train, or bus. If you have such a requirement, please don't hesitate to contact your local authorities in advance. Almost every airline in the world doesn’t allow electric scooters on board. Only a handful of airlines may allow some electric scooters with very small batteries under 160 Wh, and NIU scooters are equipped with batteries higher than 160 Wh.

I just bought this but my top speed is only 15 Mph, supposedly its the North American version but its clearly a Euro version with NA stickers . Customer service is quite bad, I have corresponded with them for 2 weeks now explaining how I've done everything they suggested to no avail, screenshots and vids. Its ridiculous the run around they're giving me. Its a shame cause I also live in NYC, 3 story walkup so this scooter was looking perfect for the weight. Guess I am going back to locking my bike outside and hoping its still there every morning, lol.
