NIU KQi 200F: the case against
- Tested 18.5 miles against a 33.6-mile claim
- 44.1 lb undercuts the portability that the folding bars imply
- Seven-hour charge
NIU KQi3 Pro: the case against
- No suspension, on smaller 9.5-inch tires than cheaper NIU models
- Long-term owners cite weight and hill pace as the reasons they moved on
- 44.8 lb with no suspension is a poor trade for a scooter you carry
- NIU's app draws repeated owner criticism
