In order to better protect the battery system, the kick scooter has been placed in transportation mode before leaving the factory.
Before first use, connect the charger and plug it to the mains supply to activate and charge the scooter.
KQi2 pro and KQi3 Sport have a typical range of up to 40km.
KQi3 Pro has a typical range of up to 50km.
KQi3 Max has a typical range of up to 65km.Typical range is determined by testing fully charged KQI scooters with a rider weighting 75kg riding at a constant speed of 15km/h on a flat road at 25 ⁰C ambient temperature.
The results may vary depending on speed, rider weight, road condition, temperature and other factors,
Long press the power button to turn on (or off) the kick scooter and then short press once to change riding modes.
For your safety, the new kick scooter will be locked in the E-save mode of up to 15km/h for the first 200m of riding. After that, the kick scooter will give a beeping sound. You can now switch modes and ride at maximum speed.
Custom mode can be enabled in the NIU app allowing you to set your preferred top speed. For safety reasons, mode selection is disabled in custom mode.
Pedestrian mode is enabled with five presses of the power button, and limits the scooter to a maximum of 64km/h.
Cruise control is also available on all New Zealandn and New Zealand models, which can be enabled in the NIU app.

The NIU Kick Scooter uses 9.5” to 10” puncture-resistant tubeless pneumatic tyres with a normal tyre pressure of between 45 and 50 psi. If you need to replace the tyres, please contact our customer service.
Power up the kick scooter. Stand with one foot on the main body and kick off with the other foot. When the kick scooter is gliding and reaches ≥ 5km/h, place both feet on the main body and gently press the throttle.
For your safety, the throttle will only be activated when the kick scooter has reached a speed of 5km/h. When riding the kick scooter, please ensure that you wear protective gear, such as a approved bicycle/skateboard helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and wrist guards.
A good battery is the most essential feature in any electric mobility vehicle or device.
That is why NIU offers a 2-year battery life warranty.
All NIU kick scooter batteries are thoroughly tested to ensure you will reach 500 charging cycles before a noticeable difference in your daily use.
If we take the KQi3 Pro as an example, we can see that with a range of up to 50km, a daily commute of 8km, and assuming that it is charged every 3 days, then 500 charging cycles can last 1500 days or about 4 years.
In the NIU app, you can easily find all the information about your battery and charging cycles.
The NIU kick scooter has a non-removable battery. If you encounter any problems with the battery, please contact our customer service.
You can contact our customer service team for advice and action.
The NIU halo light is a daytime running light and cannot be switched off. With the Halo light on, riders can be seen from very far away. This form of passive safety feature goes a long way towards ensuring your safety when riding your NIU kick scooter. During the daytime, using a daylight running light reduces the accident rate by 12% and fatality rate from accidents by 26%.
While the KQi3 does not have traditional suspension, it does use larger, wider tubeless pneumatic tyres that provide excellent shock absorption. Some solid-wheeled scooters require suspension to provide the most basic of comforts, but this is not required with the larger, wider tubeless pneumatic tyres we use for the KQi3.
Using the right tyre pressure for your kick scooter is important. It is not only the tyre that supports the weight of your kick scooter but also the air inside the tyre. Tyre pressure can influence your kick scooter performance such as driving comfort and general handling behaviour.
The tyre pressure for your kick scooter should be between 45 and 50 psi or 3.10 and 3.44 bar. You can also find this information in your user manual. It is best to check your tyre pressure every month.
KQi App
It is still possible to ride your NIU kick scooter without the NIU App. However the NIU App is a convenient tool to keep track of your rides and provides additional settings to personalise your ride experience. You may choose to pair your NIU kick scooter to your NIU App account although this is not mandatory.
The NIU App and the NIU kick scooter pair to each other via Bluetooth. When the kick scooter is powered on, the Bluetooth indicator will begin to flash on the dashboard. Open the NIU App on your smart phone/device, register or log in and follow the instructions in the NIU App.
