Comparison Review: NIU KQi Air vs Vmax VX8
Here's how the NIU KQi Air stacks up against the Vmax VX8 — from speed and range to comfort and features.
The NIU KQi Air and Vmax VX8 are two electric scooters that offer distinct features catering to different user needs. The KQi Air is priced at $849 and boasts a top speed of 20 MPH, powered by a 350W motor with a peak output of 700W. It has a maximum range of 31 miles, making it suitable for longer commutes. Weighing 26.4 lbs and supporting a maximum load of 265 lbs, it's designed for street terrain and features tubeless pneumatic tires. Safety is enhanced with mechanical disc and electronic brakes, an IP55 rating, and integrated lights.
In contrast, the Vmax VX8, released in 2025, comes at a higher price point of $1599. It reaches a top speed of 19 MPH, powered by a more powerful 1400W peak motor, and offers a maximum range of 28 miles. With a weight of 34.2 lbs, it shares the same weight limit of 265 lbs as the KQi Air. Like the KQi Air, the VX8 is also designed for street use with tubeless pneumatic tires but features drum and electronic brakes and carries an IPX6 rating for water resistance.
Both scooters include modern features such as smartphone app connectivity, speed modes, and cruise control, making them convenient for daily use. However, the KQi Air stands out for its longer range and lighter weight, while the VX8's superior peak power may appeal to those looking for a more robust ride. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal priorities—whether it’s extended range or enhanced power.
