NIU’s latest KQI Air foldable carbon fiber electric kick scooter hits $1,049 (Save $350)

$350 off/$1,049

Best Buy is offering the NIU KQi Air Carbon Fiber Foldable Electric Kick Scooter for $1,049 shipped. Normally fetching $1,399, this newer scooter has seen relatively few discounts when compared to some of NIU’s other models, with only some minor discounts under its belt returning costs to the same low. Today’s deal is one of these repeated discounts, coming in as a 25% markdown off the going rate that saves you $350 and returns it to the all-time lowest price we have tracked. You can learn about this model further – or its successor, the upcoming KQI Air X, by heading below or reading through our hands-on review at Electrek.

The NIU KQi Air is the lightest available model under the NIU brand (until the KQi Air X officially begins shipping next month), coming equipped with a 350W motor (700W peak) and a 451Wh battery that hits up to 20 MPH top speeds for up to 31 miles on a single 5-hour charge. It offers five different riding modes to choose from: E-save, sport, dynamic, pedestrian, and cruise control – with the slower speeds obviously saving you battery juice for longer rides.

It also come with a variety of features like a front disc brake with regenerative braking, an IP55 waterproof rating, an integrated LED display, a Halo headlight, a taillight with brake light functionality, turn signals on the ends of the wide-reaching handlebar, ambient lighting on its body, a 41% wider deck, 9.5-inch tubeless tires, and an electric horn. You’ll also be able to control the settings via the companion app, which you can lock and unlock your scooter with for added security.

If you’ve been wanting to make the jump to e-bikes, there are a few Memorial Day sales from major brands still going for today and/or tomorrow that give you the perfect opportunity. You’ll find major deals on models from Aventon, Rad Power, and Juiced to consider – but don’t sit on a decision too long, like I said, you only have a day or two left before they end. You can also head over to our Green Deals hub for more deals that are hanging on after this last week’s sales event – power stations, electric tools, and more.
