NIU KQi3 Max

What the NIU KQi3 Max is built for

The NIU KQi3 Max 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 stated range of up to 40 miles (65 km) on a charge.

The NIU KQi3 Max carries up to 265 lb (120 kg) including the rider and is rated IP54 against water.

In the United States the NIU KQi3 Max sells for $999, above the median of $600 across 209 electric scooters with a US price, among the premium models.

Where the NIU KQi3 Max may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the NIU KQi3 Max'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 KQi3 Max safety certification

The brand's listing for the NIU KQi3 Max 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.
