The KQi Air and KQi Air X are the epitome of innovation in the electric scooter industry. Designed with a focus on sustainability, convenience, and style, these scooters offer an unparalleled riding experience.

One of the standout features of the KQi Air/Air X is how they were designed to be ‘Impossibly Light’. Weighing just 25.8lbs, the KQi Air X boasts a full carbon fiber frame, whilst the KQi Air weighs 26.2lbs with a carbon fiber (70%) and magnesium (30%) frame. The sister models, with exceptional power to weight ratio and over 40% lighter than competitors, guarantee unparalleled portability while delivering impressive performance built for the city. With a 20-mph top speed, 31-mile range, and 700-watt max power, the lightweight scooters offer a thrilling and efficient ride, whether zipping through traffic, cruising around the city, or tackling hills with 20% hill climb.

Equipped with wide handlebars, large 9.5 inches tubeless tires and a broad, spacious deck, the KQi Air/Air X deliver maximum riding comfort. Furthermore, the front-disc brake delivers enhanced stopping power while regenerative braking extends both range and battery life. In an industry where heavy, high-performance scooters sacrifice portability, and lightweight options compromise on power, range and comfort, NIU set out to design an exceptionally light scooter with impressive performance.

The KQi Air/Air X are a testament to NIU's relentless pursuit of excellence while pushing the boundaries in carbon fiber engineering and design. Powered by innovative 21700 lithium-ion battery technology, the KQi Air/Air X offer extended battery life and riding range, whilst the five-hour fast charging capability allows for minimal downtime. Delivering next-level smart security, users will have the option to lock and unlock the KQi Air/Air X through a custom NFC card, or via Bluetooth once the user's phone is in range. Turn signals, an integrated electric horn and powerful front and rear lights also provide additional riding safety.

Utilizing carbon fiber, NIU has achieved the perfect balance between weight reduction and performance enhancement. The collaborative efforts of NIU’s engineering, design and research teams have created game-changers in urban mobility.
