Comparison Review: NIU KQi Air vs Segway Ninebot Max G3

Here's how the NIU KQi Air stacks up against the Segway Ninebot Max G3 — from speed and range to comfort and features.

The Segway Ninebot Max G3 and NIU KQi Air are two electric scooters tailored for urban commuting, each with unique features. The Ninebot Max G3 impresses with a top speed of 28 MPH, powered by an 850W motor that peaks at 2000W, allowing it to handle inclines of up to 13°. In comparison, the KQi Air reaches a maximum speed of 20 MPH with a 350W motor, providing solid performance for everyday use.

In terms of battery capacity, the Max G3 offers an impressive range of 50 miles from its 597 Wh battery, while the KQi Air provides a respectable 31 miles with its 451.2 Wh battery. The charging time also favors the Max G3 at 3.5 hours versus the KQi Air's 5 hours. Regarding safety, the Ninebot model includes hydraulic suspension for enhanced comfort, along with disc brakes and an IPX6 water resistance rating. The KQi Air, being lighter at 26.4 lbs, has a lower IP55 rating and lacks suspension, making it less optimal for rough terrains.

Both scooters include features like speed modes and app connectivity, but the Max G3 offers greater customization. If speed, range, and safety are your priorities, the Segway Ninebot Max G3 is a superior choice. For lighter commutes and a lower price point, the NIU KQi Air may be more suitable.
