NIU has unveiled two new all-terrain electric scooters that can deliver up to 60km of travel on a single charge. The NIU KQi 300P and KQi 300X come with dual-tube hydraulic suspension, regenerative braking, and app-based controls.
Features
The two new NIU e-scooters are part of the KQi 300 series which also includes the KQi3 Pro which was released in 2022. The new models come with features that deliver a more comfortable ride. The KQi 300P is powered by a 450W electric motor that is operated via a twist throttle and offers up to 900W peak power. It has a top speed of about 32km/h. It can move up inclines of about 20% and has a range of about 48km. The KQi 300X features a 500W motor with a maximum output of 1,000W and a top speed of 32km/h. The NIU KQi 300X can climb hills with a 25% gradient and has a range of about 60km. It should be noted though that the top speed of the models is limited to regulatory controls, as they can theoretically deliver higher speeds. The maximum speed (38km/h) of the models can be activated by the app while riding on non-public roads.
The KQi 300P comes with a 486Wh battery while the KQi 300X is equipped with a 608Wh battery. The e-scooters feature an LED dashboard, a deck, and 10.5-inch rubber pneumatic tires which provide extra shock absorption even in difficult terrain. They also feature a triple-braking regenerative system. There are LED lights at the front and rear, side reflectors, and turn signals that help to enhance the safety of the ride. The scooter’s riding mode is adjustable via the app, as well as its starting speed and charging limit. You can also use the app to lock and unlock the e-scooters, cruise control, and OTA upgrades when available.
Pricing & Availability
The NIU KQi 300P and KQi 300X e-scooters will be available from January 31 with their respective prices of $849 and $1,049 respectively. The models are priced at €699 and €799 respectively in the EU. NIU is offering a discount of up to 30% to the first 200 customers to order the scooters within the first two days of their release.
