Choose the Inmotion Climber for dual-motor hill assistance, the higher 130 kg rider limit and the lower dated Australian price. Choose the NIU KQi 300X for hydraulic front suspension, wider self-healing tyres, disc brakes at both ends and a little more range, subject to stock confirmation.

Inmotion Climber: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
NIU KQi 300X: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.
The dual-motor Inmotion Climber is the stronger hill choice on paper. ScootFinder has not physically hill-tested this pair.
The NIU has the stronger comfort specification with hydraulic front suspension and wide 10.5 inch self-healing tubeless tyres.
The Climber is lighter at 20.8 kg versus 22.1 kg for the NIU, although both are substantial two-handed lifts.
ScootFinder has not physically road-tested these two units for this comparison. Published specifications come from the sources below. Real-world range figures are clearly labelled ScootFinder estimates and prices or availability should be confirmed before purchase.
