NIU KQi 100 Scooters Promise the Best at a Low Price

NIU presents its two latest models of electric scooters, the KQi 100P and KQi 100F, which are well-equipped and priced affordably.

Known for its high-end scooters, the Beijing manufacturer NIU has decided to level the pricing downwards with an affordable entry-level model. This model is available in two versions that feature very interesting functionalities typically found on much more expensive models.

NIU retains its in-house 48-volt technology for these entry-level models, ensuring powerful propulsion and the ability to tackle slopes of up to 15% without performance loss. Both models are equipped with motors that can reach 600 W, providing a range of 29 km, and feature four riding modes. They can be adjusted via an app to, for example, set a charging limit to reduce battery wear. NIU has chosen a rotary accelerator grip instead of a trigger, which can be less intuitive when maneuvering through urban obstacles, but it has its enthusiasts.

No extravagance with 9.5-inch tires and a drum brake at the front. Classic and effective components that help reduce costs. The small machines, however, come equipped with a double-cylinder suspension with a stroke of 36 mm, which is very appreciated on cobblestones. The scooters meet the IP55 standard for protection against dust and water splashes.

The only difference between the two models is ultimately the foldable handlebar that features on the KQi 100F. It’s up to you to decide if you really need it, as it comes at a higher price. The KQi 100P with a fixed handlebar will be available in France at the end of October for 349.99 euros, while an additional 50 euros is required for the foldable handlebar of the KQi 100F, which will be offered at 399.99 euros in mid-November.
