Thanks. Not sure how long it will last, but so far I have not noticed any decreased performance or range. From what I found you should get about 500 charge cycles before noticing any degradation. But it depends on a lot of external factors how the battery is used, stored, etc...

Why buy 'automotive cleaning wipes' that cost several times as much when these do just as good a job of cleaning the scooter?

"Isn't it a bad idea to put a hub powered scooter in water?" If you mean the green tray of water, it was only filled enough to submerge the tyre not the whole motor hub, so should be fine.

Yes, I cut off the zoom brake wires and soldered julet connectors on the ends to connect the NUTT brake wires.

Thanks for the suggestions. For parts I check NIU partner website for EU niu.b2x.com/ or for US shop.besender.com/collections/niu-original-e-scooter-accessories If some parts are not listed you need to contact them. NIU is working to improve the after-sales servis, will share more when I get any updates.

@@Lantea13 Thanks for these liks. I hope to find what I need there, possibly. Safe riding

Sorry, I don't. But I found this video a while back where you can see the cells and BMS ruclips.net/video/a3VOHHjGM0s/видео.html

Hey, no I did not do any waterproofing, used it as it came out of the box. While I had no issues when it comes to water damage with the KQi Air or the KQi2, its still good to keep in mind that water damage is not covered by warranty, and a small risk is probably always there when it comes to water and electronics.

What tune ups, still runs great now at over 2500km :)

Your friend needs to remove (unbind) the scooter from their NIU account in the app. That should allow you to link it to your NIU account. Did you try this?

Thanks, always nice to hear that someone enjoys my videos. "The no-hands stability seems very desirable and I'm curious how they accomplish that" I think its a combination of several factors, - the light weight of the stem and handlebars makes it easier to balance the scooter as you don't have a heavy weight that swings from side to side when unsupported; - the deck is slightly concave, like on a skateboard, that allows you to better balance the scooter with your feet; - the overall low weight of the scooter makes it easier to balance with your feet; I think these features combined with a good geometry of the scooter contribute to the overall stability. I hope NIU continues with this approach with their future scooters, as I think good stability adds a lot to overall scooter safety, especially for new riders. "I'm currently shopping some sort of scooter with suspension, with lightness and small size being characteristics I'm interested in." For a smaller commuter scooter with full suspension, the first one I would consider is probably the Segway Max G2, I have not had a chance to test it myself, but from everything I have seen its a good option to consider. Unless you want to go with something more powerful with dual motors.

@@Lantea13 Thanks for writing back, the G2 is on my imaginary list of considerations, along with the Apollo go, and the highboy pro max, and a few others, have a great New Year!

@@miketayse Thanks. Happy New Year to you too.

Thanks, its good to have confirmation that I am not the only one that has come across some of the issues I raised :) I don't use the horn very often, but I did notice that in wet weather it is a bit useless. I would still prefer a normal bell (and I used one for some time on the scooter, had to remove it when using different camera mounts for filming due to limited space) as most people react to a bicycle bell sound but often don't react to an electronic horn. Over the past week we started to get some below zero temperatures in the morning and I did notice bigger battery drain as well, but so far it seemed mostly in line with other scooters in winter time. "The shield pieces do not look any different however. I also broke mine but was able to repair it. They never offered me the part or really follow through with this problem although I contacted them." IMO, it should be covered by warranty, but in my case they also classed it as out of warranty repair; and when I saw the shipping price, I decided its not worth it. Will probably glue it back together with JB weld at some point. I am hoping the spare parts (all parts, including controllers, motors, battery, etc.) get much wider availability from multiple sources and NIU works on this as their priority, because from reading various community posts, the easy availability of spare parts comes up often for NIU KQi scooters. I also raised this with NIU a few times. So hopefully it improves.

@ I regularly check on tires as it could be the most important part but they’ve never been available for me. Also, the postage os crazy! Another part is the charger. You can find KQi2 and 3 ones but never the Air, and they are not interchangeable. I hope they improve this too.

@@CarolaClavo For the parts not listed on NIU partner sites (niu.b2x.com/) or nearly always 'sold out' on the main NIU store (like the tyres and charger) you can try to contact the partner and they usually can get the parts for you even if not listed, might be worth a try. But probably best to get all the parts at once, until they find an economy shipping option, or wait until you really need the part and hopefully by then they will figure out better availability of parts through multiple sources.

@ I was able to contact them when I had the puncture, but shipping for a wheel was like triple the price so I declined and I’m routinely checking on their site and AliExpress or others. Never found any spare wheels or charger for the Air. There is a lot of room for improvement.

@@CarolaClavo Indeed, that is rough. They could start by at least selling the parts through Amazon and if needed increase their price by Amazon's cut, it would still be cheaper for the end user to use amazon free or cheaper shipping, even if the parts were 30% more (or whatever amazon's cut is).

Fully draining in 45 days is definitely not ideal, especially if you don't ride all year round in all seasons. Unfortunately I can't really verify this as I have been using the KQi Air for commuting for most of the past year and the most it was idle was probably 2 weeks. I did notice that if you have your phone Bluetooth on and the scooter connects to it when you are around it drains the battery a bit more. If you are not going to use the scooter for longer periods, maybe unlink it in your BT settings on your phone, if you have BT on all the time, so it does not try to connect to the scooter constantly. This is something NIU should test and if the BT leads to more battery drain they should add a way to disable it in the app, or put the scooter into sleep/transport mode when not used for longer periods to conserve battery.

You can check out couple of range test stats in my original written review www.reddit.com/r/ElectricScooters/comments/18ze27e/niu_kqi_air_review/ On average with my weight of around 95kg I got 25km, but it depends on a ton of other factors, like temperature, wind, terrain, riding style, etc.

The Apollo Go is nearly double the weight, so if weight is not an issue for you that opens up the choices more. I don't have hands on with the Apollo Go, so can't really say how good it is.

@Lantea13 i keep forgetting that point . Lol .

You have Dynamic mode turned on in the NIU app.

@ I fixed The issue Thank You👍 Does Dynamic really make a Difference?

@@2krazzy579 Dynamic mode is mostly useful if you want to limit the speed of the scooter, for example if you want to give it to a child and limit the speed for safety, etc. or if you prefer different acceleration, that can be configured on some models;

Not really, its about the same as on the Ninebot Max G30 or the NIU KQi2 Pro. In some clips it might seem more bumpy than it actually is due to camera shake. Of course if you have bad roads a full suspension scooter like the Ninebot Max G2 might be better, but its also about twice the weight.

@Lantea13 its either this or the apollo go . Tough choice .

I don't own a kqi1, but I say it should, it would be very similar for any tubeless scooter.

If the KQi1 Pro has tubeless tyres than its the same; but not sure whether the KQi1 does not have tubed ones.

Check out the video on the pump here ruclips.net/video/jMJiDguvApQ/видео.html it should have all the details there.

By "screw in the middle" do you mean the big notched ring here ruclips.net/video/_Kl3aASwDZ8/видео.html if so, no sure where you can get that, probably only from NIU as a spare part.

@Lantea13 no I figured it out the screw snapped need to drill it out

It was the screw that sits behind the latch on the stem above what your talking about

Pretty much, unless you can just patch it with a tubeless tyre plug kit. For that you don't need to remove the wheel or tyre.

You can order a replacement display cover from NIU -> Spare Parts: EU niu.b2x.com/ or US shop.besender.com/store/

Thanks.

Feel free to ask :)

You can see it in the NIU app on your phone.

As you can see here ruclips.net/video/NG3NLKQVSpw/видео.html I rotated the wheel so the puncture would be at the bottom so the slime pools over the punctured area and seals that area the best.

power on button: 1x change speed mode 2x main light on/off 4x change from km/h to mph 5x change to pedestrian mode Indicator light buttons: 2x both indicators come on

Are you referring to the NIU KQi2 Pro scooter or a different scooter model? On the KQi2 the battery should not be in the way.

The app should work for the NIU KQi 100F, try to update the app, if you have an older version the model might not have been added yet. I don't have the NIU KQi 100F here so unfortunately can't test it further for you. If it still does not work after you check for the most recent app update, only option is to try and contact NIU support.

@Lantea13 I downloaded the app when I got the scooter and basically it says scan a QR code and when I scan the QR code it says not recognized

Check if you find other QR codes anywhere on the scooter or packaging, with the KQi Air there were several on the packaging and only one was the one needed to link the scooter.

Indeed, with all electric scooters riding in the rain is at your own risk, as any water damage is not covered by warranty. While there is always some risk, there are definitely scooters that can handle the rain and scooters that die just from a few drops of water, so videos like this give you a good idea of what the scooter can survive, but then its up to you if you are ok with a bit of risk of water damage. The bottom line is in many places if you use your scooter for every day commuting you can't avoid riding in rain at some point.

Its in the video title NIU KQi2 Pro :)

Hey, I have not seen any guides online how to make changes on the newer KQi300 scooters. Try to search in other EU languages using google translate, and maybe users from ES, FR, IT or other places posted something somewhere. Unfortunately I don't do firmware mods, so can't help you much on this. Just be careful because you will void your warranty if you change the firmware and something breaks.

Sorry google translate did not do a great job translating 'Conter übrig' so not sure what you are referring to.

@Lantea13 Hello, I wanted to ask if you have a controller you can give me... Mine is broken. But I have since bought a new one and my scooter is working again. Thank you very much

Yes, I still have it and ride it; it still works without any issues, I am at around 2500km with it, would be more but I used the KQi Air a lot this year.

I used the Valve Core Removal Tool that was included with the Red Armor-Dilloz armor-dilloz.com/products/armor-dilloz-red-tire-sealant but you can use other versions just search for Valve Core Removal Tool on amazon or other shop.

45psi is good man max 50... check the tyres when u want those kind of info... i have 300+ klm inb my kqi2

I pump the KQi2 to 48psi. Anything between 45-50 should be good as @PortoFellazTV mentioned.
