The KQi 300X is NIU's suspension-equipped commuter with a 608 Wh battery, 10.5 inch self-healing tyres and disc brakes at both ends. The Australian specification tops out at 25 km/h, but NIU Australia showed it sold out when checked.
It is a well-rounded commuter on specifications, especially for rougher surfaces and buyers who want a native 25 km/h setup. Current availability is the deciding constraint: do not plan around it until NIU or a local retailer confirms stock.
No paid placement or affiliate ranking. Prices and stock can change after our check.

NIU publishes up to 60 km from the 608 Wh battery. ScootFinder uses 42 km as a mixed-use planning estimate; it is not a physical range-test result.
Commuters wanting NIU's top current model with genuine hydraulic suspension, wide tyres and strong IP55 water resistance.
Dual-tube hydraulic suspension, wide 10.5 inch self-healing tyres and dual disc brakes in a 25 km/h class commuter.
At 22.1 kg it is not the lightest to carry, and top speed is capped to the legal class out of the box.

Published device specifications meet the checked limits in Victoria. Eligibility remains unconfirmed in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. An app speed mode alone is not approval. WA device eligibility is not confirmed by speed alone; weight, dimensions and configuration matter. NSW personal e-scooters remain private-property only; NT has a separate maximum 200 W / 10 km/h definition. Rider age, equipment, licence and route conditions still apply.
QLD eligibility unconfirmed: verified width and height, wheelbase (not overall length) required. No more than 60 kg, 750 mm wide and 1350 mm high; wheelbase no more than 1100 mm for two or more axles. Effective stopping system and a warning device where required. The current PMD definition includes motor-only capability no more than 25 km/h. Through 28 February 2027, a transition covers devices manufactured before 1 July 2026 that met the former definition. A model year or app mode does not establish this exception; we do not presume it for unverified units. Do not treat missing evidence as approval. General rule: age 16+ and a valid learner-or-higher driver licence. Specified exceptions cover supervised riders aged 12 to 17 (including unlicensed 16 and 17 year olds), eligible medical exemptions for riders 16+, and designated recreational areas. Supervision and exemption conditions still apply. A transitional reasonable-excuse provision for the licence requirement runs through 29 November 2026; it is not a blanket licence exemption. The current PMD definition includes motor-only capability no more than 25 km/h. Through 28 February 2027, a transition covers devices manufactured before 1 July 2026 that met the former definition. A model year or app mode does not establish this exception; we do not presume it for unverified units. 12 km/h on footpaths and crossings, and when passing pedestrians on shared paths. Otherwise obey signed path limits up to 25 km/h. Roads up to 60 km/h and specified bicycle-lane exceptions; check signs and the route.
Personal e-scooters remain illegal on NSW roads and road-related areas, including footpaths, shared paths and bicycle lanes. Use a personal e-scooter on private property only. Shared hire trials have separate approved areas and rules.
The claimed range is 60 km, measured by the maker in ideal conditions. ScootFinder estimates about 42 km for mixed everyday riding. That is an estimate, not a test result. Hills, rider weight, cold weather and riding at top speed all cut range, so plan with some battery in reserve.
It weighs 22.1 kg. The maximum rider weight is 120 kg. It folds for carrying and storage.
When we last checked on 17 October 2026, the lowest price we found was $1,599.95 at NIU Australia. It was sold out there at the time. We list one Australian seller on this page. Prices change, so check the seller before buying.
It has an IP55 rating, which means it resists low pressure water jets, such as steady rain and road spray. No e-scooter is truly waterproof, so avoid deep puddles and do not wash it with a hose.
