NIU has launched its anniversary sale through June 30 that is taking up to 51% off a collection of its e-scooters, like the NIU KQi Air RD Electric Scooter for $949 shipped. Down from $1,399, this is technically the first discount on this red colorway, although it is not the first discount we’ve tracked on the KQi Air series scooters, which we’ve been seeing drop to $1,049 more regularly at sites like Best Buy. Today’s deal comes in as a 32% markdown that saves you $450 and lands it at a new all-time low, both for the individual colorway and the overall series of scooters.
The NIU KQi Air is now the second-lightest available model under the NIU brand (now that the KQi Air X is officially available and shipping – with a 0.4 pounds difference), 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 comes 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.
