First deal, please be nice.
have been looking for a long range commuter electric scooter for some time and came across this NIU brand on the JB Hi-Fi website.
A quick google search leads to a number of good reviews on the NIU models.
For example this one from Electric Scooter Guide
https://electric-scooter.guide/reviews/niu-kqi3-max-electric…
JB Hi-Fi is selling KQi3 Max for $1399 (down from SRP $1749)
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/niu-kqi3-max-electric-kic…
Harvey Norman has the same model in store for $1278
https://www.harveynorman.com.au/niu-kqi3-max-electric-kick-s…
48V 450W/900W motor with dual disc brakes + regenerative brake, self healing tyres and up to 65km range appears to be superior to the Segway models in a similar price range.
2 year warranty is a plus as well. I believe Segway only offers 1 year warranty on their models.
Gonna pick up one from nearby Harvey Norman store tomorrow.
Key features:
Maximum comfort with extra wide handlebar and deck
Powerful 450W brushless motor, maximum, 900W
48V Lithium-ion battery system with 7th NIU Energy™ smart battery management system
Up to 25km/h top speed and 65km range
9.5" x 2.5" self healing extra wide puncture resistant pneumatic tubeless tyres
Front disc brake + Rear disc & regenerative electronic brake system
Stay smart with the NIU smart app
