NIU KQi 300P
- Why shortlist it
- Dual-tube hydraulic suspension and IP55 water resistance at a genuinely entry-level price for the feature set.
- Trade-off
- Smaller 486 Wh battery than its 300X sibling gives noticeably less real world range.

The short answer
NIU's Australian scooter range is focused on urban commuters. The main buying differences are battery size, suspension, total weight and current stock, so compare the exact KQi model rather than choosing on the family name alone.

Buying advice
What to check before you buy
Current and new-release adult NIU models are compared using published specifications, known Australian pricing and ScootFinder planning estimates. Current stock should always be confirmed before purchase.
- Check current Australian stock before relying on a listed model.
- Compare suspension and tyre construction for rough urban surfaces.
- Plan from estimated real-world range with a return-trip reserve.
- Keep rider and luggage weight below the published payload.
- Confirm state rules even when the scooter is natively capped at 25 km/h.
Australian rules
Open the national law guideLegality depends on your state
A 25 km/h-capable label is a speed feature, not public-use approval. Device weight, dimensions, wheelbase, maximum power and Australian configuration can change the result. It does not override where, how fast or by whom it may be ridden. Check the current official rule for your jurisdiction before buying or riding.
