NIU has unveiled the KQi3 Max standing electric scooter with a long-distance range of 66 km. The new KQi3 Max standing e-scooter can reach a top speed of 24km/h and it sports a lightweight design. NIU is a Chinese e-mobility startup with a growing portfolio of cutting-edge and innovative EVs.
The new NIU e-scooter comes with a
comfortable design for good performance. A comfortable ride is something that
is a difficult proposition with these small-wheeled e-scooters, especially on
bumpy terrains. NIU however says the KQi3 Max comes well-kitted to deliver comfort.
It has a 608.4 Wh (13Ah) battery and features four riding modes.
The riding modes are E-Save, Sport,
Pedestrian, and a custom mode. The E-Save and Sport Modes have a maximum speed
limit of about 14 km/h and 24 km/h respectively. The custom mode allows the user
to set the riding parameters to suit the trip.
The NIU KQi3 Max e-scooter has a rear hub
motor with a peak power of 450W. The e-scooter is thus powerful enough to climb
terrains with a gradient projection of 25 degrees. The hard floorboard of the
e-scooter provides sufficient space to place your feet while on the go. The
floorboard also sits atop a sturdy frame housing the battery pack. The bike has
a payload capacity of 120 kg, which is quite decent.
The new NIU electric scooter is
connectible to the NIU smartphone app. You can thus lock the bike from a
distance using the app. You can also use the app to view ride data and moderate
the scooters’ speed, settings, and other features. As per pricing, the NIU KQi3
Max e-scooter retails for € 899 (US$ 953) on Amazon. It is already on sale it comes
