NIU KQi3 Max
The best-riding mid-range scooter — front + rear suspension, 40-mile range, and a refined riding experience.
Our Review
The NIU KQi3 Max comes from NIU, the world's largest electric two-wheeler company, and the engineering shows. Dual front and rear suspension provide the smoothest ride in the mid-range category, and the 450W motor with 40-mile range handles extended commutes without range anxiety. 9.5" tubeless pneumatic tires resist punctures, the regenerative braking + drum brake system stops confidently, and the NIU app provides ride tracking and firmware updates.
