Fair warning before you buy: we wouldn’t categorize this as portable or lightweight. There are a lot of other things we love about the NIU KQi3 Pro. If you’re regularly commuting to work in a suit, you won’t clash with this ride. In fact, it’s managed to find that sweet spot between sporty and classy that allows it to fit in just about anywhere. NIU just wants to make sure that you’ve gotten to know your unit well before riding it at top speed.Īdding those elements also gives the electric scooter a look that says, ‘I can handle whatever you throw at me,’ without taking it so far that you’d be embarrassed to take it to work. You don’t even need to link (or, as NIU words it, “bind”) it with the app if you prefer not to – though we definitely recommend it as the app gives you access to more functionality.īear in mind that the Sport riding mode, which tops at 20mph, won’t be made available to you until you’ve clocked in 200 meters of travel on the e-scooter, as a safety precaution. The NIU KQi3 Pro comes partly charged so you can start practicing on it immediately after setup. For some e-scooters, you also have to set up the brake line, which takes some upper body strength and possibly a lot of sweating. Literally, all you need to do here is take it out of the box, easily connect the main line connector, slot in the handlebar, secure it with four screws, and it’s ready to go. If you haven’t even so much as stood on an e-scooter before, and you want to get one but are intimidated by the possibility of failing at setup, this is the scooter for you. Proof that the NIU KQi3 Pro is ideal for most e-scooter riders, including novice riders, is its unbelievably easy assembly. That makes it the best-value electric scooter we’ve ever ridden. Having said that, the NIU KQi3 Pro beats out most of its direct rivals in price while completely owning them in performance. There’s also the TurboAnt M10 that delivers a powerful performance and comes with a solid build for less than $500 / £500. The Gotrax APEX LE, for example, which we are currently testing, is a snappy and stylish option under $400 / £400.
