KQi 300P
The NIU KQi 300P is the smaller-battery member of NIU's suspension-equipped commuter pair. It combines a 486 Wh battery, 48 km claim, hydraulic front suspension, 10.5 inch tubeless tyres and a native 25 km/h top speed.
Is the NIU KQi 300P worth considering?
It is the value-oriented KQi 300 choice when 34 km of estimated range is sufficient. The 300X makes more sense for a longer commute, while the 300P saves purchase cost without giving up the wide tyres, suspension or 120 kg rider limit.

Should you buy it?
Best suited to
Commuters wanting NIU's hydraulic suspension and IP55 water resistance at the brand's entry price point.
Standout strength
Dual-tube hydraulic suspension and IP55 water resistance at a genuinely entry-level price for the feature set.
Main compromise
Smaller 486 Wh battery than its 300X sibling gives noticeably less real world range.
Pros
- Hydraulic front suspension
- Wide 10.5 inch tubeless tyres
- Front and rear disc brakes plus regenerative braking
- IP55 rating and native 25 km/h speed
Cons
- Sold out through NIU Australia when checked
- Less range than the KQi 300X
- Still a substantial lift at 20.8 kg
Check before buying. The site showed a very low $670.87 promo price alongside the $1,299.95 RRP; confirm which is genuinely live before buying.
