Solid workmanship, sporty riding style and extremely good charging time: the NIU scooter was convincing in these disciplines. The regenerative braking also made the ride smooth. It's just a shame that there is no indicator fitted, which means the NIU lacks an important safety feature.

The Niu KQi3 Max is a good everyday companion. It offers enough space and a clean finish. Above all, however, the thrust of the powerful engine is fun, and it does not shy away from smaller climbs. The acceleration is pleasing, as is the customisable energy recovery when braking...

The Kqi3 Max is the best e-scooter from Niu - and also plays far ahead in comparison with e-scooters from other manufacturers. It owes this to its excellent workmanship, the powerful motor, the grippy brake and the large battery, which ensures a long range. Even though the wide tyres reliably absorb minor bumps, buyers who regularly ride bumpy roads should rather go for a model with good suspension.
