NIU KQi 300X

What the NIU KQi 300X is built for

The NIU KQi 300X is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a 608 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 37 miles (60 km) on a charge.

In the United States the NIU KQi 300X sells for $899, above the median of $600 across 209 electric scooters with a US price, among the premium models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the NIU KQi 300X may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the NIU KQi 300X's top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

NIU KQi 300X safety certification

The brand's listing for the NIU KQi 300X does not state a UL 2272 or EN 17128 certification. New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
