How to Change KQI3 Battery

Рет қаралды 25,257

Күн бұрын

If you need a new battery or controller for your KQI 3, this is how to change your battery.
This was a fairly easy fix to do and only requires a couple of tools. However, there is one specialty tool that you will need such as the security Allen key. You will be able to do this repair in an hour or less. And if you need to change your rear wheel, you will first need to be able to get into the battery compartment.
Don't forget to make sure that all of the wires are put back together and the scooter turns on before you go ahead and put the covers back on.

Wounderful video. Six months ago I purchased the Niu KQI3 Pro which came with poor quality tires. Well I have multiple leaks on the rear tire which couldn't be plugged and if it wasn't for your video i wouldn't of known what it takes to replace the tire. There's no store around that will even attempt to fix these scooters. I just ordered a new tire. hope i can do the repair. My advise to potential purchasers. Don't waste your hard earned cash.

@@demetriussour5771 based on how complicated it is to replace the rear tire, i can't recommend it. I have to basically disassemble the scooter for this! ridiculous.

I bought a 5 gallon bead seater and 8 gallon air compresser to help me with this project and it made it 100× easier. I am blessed before I spend countless hours messing with tire and got no where except pissed off But now I am a changed man lol. You can go ahead and tell every body imma man I'm a man im a man. If you can fix these you da man. So go and be the man.

Thanks, this is what I needed! I'm just wondering if it's possible to connect a wire to the battery to recharge all the accessories I've attached to the scooter (such as lights and turn signals)? I asked this question on Reddit and was told I should not mess with the front light wire as it has low voltage/current and attaching more things to it might overload it. How do you think I should proceed?

Hi mate any chance you could help me, I bought a this scooter second hand and it’s not working, the scooter is stuck in e save mode and will not come out, it’s stuck on dynamic riding as well, and when you go into the NIU app it says “ NO battery” even though it has a fully charged battery on it, I’ve tried ressetting the app, unbinding the scooter and re bind, I have charged the battery for 72 hrs, it shows fully charged on the scooter display, I have also put a multi meter on the battery terminals and we confirmed it works and is fully charged, I work for a motorcycle dealership called on the wheel and NIU operate out of our same building and even their technicians have no idea why it won’t work, thanks

BMS stops any further charge anyway , have no worries . On a side note and different topic but thought it would help , on higher end scoots like the Vsett 10+ having regen braking on while the battery is already full has proven it can make the controller fail which is an awfull $150 down the drain unless you've got a nice dealer and still covered by warranty .

What is that strange battery? 46 volts? I'd like to put my own battery in it, but I guess I can't. The battery has the data port and if I put my own in there then the scooter will probably not drive because the bms does not communicate with the controller, does it? Why are they all doing this? I already have 2 scooters where I drive a dead battery around with me just because they don't want to drive without a connection to the bms....
