NIU KQi 100P: Everything You Need to Know

The NIU KQi 100P is a kick scooter, not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The US collection showed $299 from $429: 17.4 mph, 18 miles, 300W rated. The pack line says 243Wh and 5.2Ah.

The short answer

The NIU KQi 100P is a kick scooter, not a Class 1–3 e-bike. NIU’s US collection priced it at $299, down from $429. The series page says 17.4 mph, 18 miles, 300 watts rated, and 600 peak. The battery line prints 243 watt-hours and 5.2 amp-hours. Forty-eight times 5.2 is 249.6, not 243. Canada’s speed matches that card. The EU page caps it at 25 km/h.

The NIU KQi 100P is a kick scooter, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike, and not the KQi 100F. That sibling is the one whose handlebar folds. NIU’s US collection, in this crawl, priced the 100P at $299, down from $429. The US series page prints 17.4 mph, 18 miles, 300 watts rated, 600 watts peak, 48 volts, and a battery line that says both 243 watt-hours and 5.2 amp-hours. Forty-eight times 5.2 is 249.6, not 243. Canada’s product page is 28 km/h, which is the same 17.4 mph, 29 km of range, 17.3 kg with the pack, a 15 percent slope, and $699. The EU page caps the same name at 25 km/h. The row on this desk’s list links here. The list’s old $350 tag is not the collection price.

What the pages actually print

NIU’s US collection and the US series page, the Canada product page, and the EU shop. Forty-eight times 5.2 is 249.6. The series page still prints 243 watt-hours.

Seventeen point four and 15.5 are regional caps. Do not publish 16.5. Eighteen miles and 29 kilometres agree. The watt-hour line does not agree with the amp-hour line on the same series page. This desk will not pick 246. A 15 percent grade is about 8.5 degrees. Nothing on these three pages prints a degree figure for this model.

Three hundred watts and no pedals is not Class 2. A folding stem is not a bicycle class.

The 100F, and who this one is for

Buy the 100P if the job is a first scooter, the collection is still $299, and a front tube with a drum is enough. Skip it if the listing is the EU 25 km/h cap and you thought you were buying 17.4. Skip it if you needed a watt-hour number that matches 5.2 amp-hours. The KQi2 Pro is the next NIU this desk already wrote: $479 and sold out, 365 watt-hours, no suspension, 17.4 mph on the US shop. The KQi300P is the 20 mph scooter with discs. This one is not on the class chart. Two hundred forty-three watt-hours divided by 18 miles is about 13.5 watt-hours a mile, if you trust the 243 and not the 249.6. The watt-hour page is the arithmetic.

Questions people ask

What does NIU charge for this scooter?+

NIU’s US collection, this crawl, showed $299, down from $429. Canada’s page is $699. The EU shop is €219 from €359. The desk list’s $350 tag is older than the collection.

How fast is the US card versus Europe?+

The series page prints 17.4 mph. Canada prints 28 km/h, which is that same figure. The EU page caps the name at 25 km/h, or 15.5 mph. Do not average those caps.

What battery is printed on the series page?+

That page prints 48 volts, 243 watt-hours, and 5.2 amp-hours. Forty-eight times 5.2 is 249.6. The page did not explain the gap. Charge time on the Canada and EU cards is 5 to 6 hours.

Is this a Class 2 e-bike?+

No. There are no pedals. Three hundred watts rated does not make a kick scooter a bicycle class. The 100F is the folding-handlebar trim of the same series, not a class change.
