-----------------------------
Xiaomi Pro 2 is a well-known commuter scooter by one of the most popular electric scooter brands.
The other one, NIU KQi2 Pro, is a fairly new player on the field. However, the company has manufactured over 2 million electric mopeds and just recently turned its attention to electric kick scooters.
The overall look of the scooters is very similar. But for me, the Niu scooter looks a bit more modern.
I like that most of the cabling of KQi2 is internally routed. It makes the look of the scooter more clean.
The Niu scooter is slightly bigger. The handlebar is higher and also wider. Also, the deck is higher from the ground.
Both scooters have a single motor of 300 watts. But there is actually one significant difference.
The Xiaomi scooter has a front hub motor, while the Niu scooter has a rear hub motor.
However, I didn’t feel any difference when riding.
The top speed is about 25 km/h or 16 mph for both scooters. They probably can go faster but the speed is limited to be legal in most countries.
Although the Niu scooter is heavier, it has much better acceleration. It took about 7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 25 km/h.
For Xiaomi Pro 2, it took about 12 seconds to reach the same speed.
rly. Both scooters managed to climb this hill easily, but Niu KQi2 Pro was significantly faster.
We all know that manufacturer numbers about range can mean anything. So, I tested out the real range of both scooters.
Although the battery of Xiaomi Pro 2 has a bit bigger capacity, the range was pretty much the same.
I was riding both scooters on the same path and both scooters died in almost the same place.
However, the Niu KQi2 managed to ride a couple of hundred meters more.
The total distance I managed to cover with both scooters was 22 km.
Since the weight of the rider is a crucial factor in the range, I must add that I weigh about 88 kg, which is about 194 pounds.
Xiaomi has a rear disc brake and a front electric brake. Niu on the other hand has a front drum brake and rear electric brake.
Both scooters have one brake lever on the left.
Additionally, both scooters have regenerative braking.
Let’s see which scooter has a shorter stopping distance.
I accelerated both scooters to the 25 km/h speed and then tried to stop as quickly as possible.
Again, Niu outperformed Xiaomi quite clearly.
Both scooters have air-filled tires. However, the tires of the Niu scooter are bigger and wider. Since neither has a suspension, only tires can absorb bumps on uneven surfaces.
Neither scooter is particularly good on rough roads. But thanks to the bigger and wider tires, the ride quality of the Niu scooter is better.
Both scooters have a front headlight and rear light with the braking light feature.
In addition to that, the Niu scooter has a cool halo light at the front that is always turned on.
These lights do a pretty good job. Both scooters are well lit. You certainly won’t be unseen whichever scooter you use.
But if we compare the light beams, it seems that the headlight of the Niu KQi2 shows a bit further.
Both scooters can be folded down within a seconds.
So far, the Niu KQi2 has won almost every category.
But in terms of portability, we have to give the point to Xiaomi Pro 2.
The Xiaomi scooter is a bit smaller and weighs less. Therefore, it’s much easier to carry it around. And the Xiaomi scooter takes less room in the trunk.
However, if you want to, you can even fit both scooters into the trunk at the same time.
Last but not least, the price.
Both scooters seem to be priced similarly.
You can get the Niu KQi2 Pro directly from their e-shop for $600 or €500 if you are in Europe. By the way, the shipping is free almost everywhere.
Xiaomi doesn’t have such a convenient online store for its electric scooters.
They have several retailers in different countries and the price varies from $400-700.
So what did we learn from these tests?
For us, the Niu KQi2 is a quite clear winner.
It has a:
Faster acceleration
Better hill climbing
Shorter braking distance
Bigger wheels
Xiaomi Pro 2 is:
More lightweight
takes less storage room
And can be gotten with a cheaper price tag
But these advantages are very marginal.
Both are quality scooters, but if you ask us, we would suggest getting NIU KQi2 Pro.

Also, if i may add to the tires section, KQi2 uses tubeless tires, so theyre less prone to flats
Thank you for the video!!
Don’t have one yet; definitely leaning towards the Niu.
Good one. Thank you. Happy travels......
Thanks for this helpful video! The Xiaomi has been popular for quite a while, so we wondered how the new Niu (LOL) compared to it. We chose the Niu-not just because of the features you described, but also because we think it looks nicer. Cheers!
(P.S., to the reviewer who recommended the Ninebot G30 Max: Sure, that's good too, but it costs about twice as much. 😉 )
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
We got new king : NIU KQi2 Pro , I can't wait for NIU KQi4 Pro with 2x700watt motors and 1260Wh battery
Do you know when NIU KQi4 comes out?
Any idea where the parts are?
Nice video
Niu scooter is a new player in scooters but it outclass other competitor like this Xiaomi…you can see the quality,craftsmanship,performance and worth of money….
Can you pls make a video of Kqui2 Vs g2 max ?
Bought two KQi2 for the wife and O. Great review
Wish you happy ridings together :)
Really really good review
Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for the video bro ur the goat
You're welcome!
Very good comparisson , new subscriber here, my niu kqi2 pro is coming, was only 399€ , we ll see
Thanks for the kind words! I hope you like the scooter. I am still using mine :)
I just ordered this scooter too, in 2 days will arrive
the best video .i can see.sorry but my english jiji
I just bought Go Trax elite and Niu kqI2 pro and I can't wait to compare them
Which do you recommend?
Exactly what i was looking for! Next time could you test the waterproof please?
I'm glad I could help!
@@ElectricWheelers also, you could mention whether they have suspension
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Neither of these scooters has a suspension.
Amazing video
Thanks for the support :)
Which would you recommend KQi2 pro vs Segway Ninebot MAX G30LP?
Based on my testing, I would prefer NIU
What's the riders weight ? There must be something wrong in this test , I have the pro 2 and there is no way it takes 12 sec to 25. Officially with 80kg rider it is 5.3 sec. And there has been many tests online showing this , you can check ESG site .
The rider is 88 kg. The acceleration test is made in normal mode (not in sport mode). And the Pro 2 is about 1 year old.
@@ElectricWheelers Thank you for your answer , any reason why you do the acceleration in normal mode and not in sport mode? Most people like to know the best performance a scooter can provide . Also there could be a big difference between scooter in different modes , i.e. some scooters only limit top speed in normal mode and others limit power and speed .
@@supernova1976 Because the other scooter didn't have a sport mode. Since both scooters top speed in default mode was 25 km/h, it seemed fair to test both in their default mode.
@@ElectricWheelers I think test should've taken in best performance not default.
The NIU elektr steps doesn't have cruise control.And the Xiaomi have.Thats very important for comfort driving.
Thanks for the valuable information! Niu doesn't have cruise control indeed.
No niu does have cruise control. You have to turn it on via the app
@@muhammadkhadaroo8961 i heard they removed it from the app
@@coliverse that’s a lie bro😎
NIU got 2 year warranty. the best among them.
Yes, that's a great benefit.
the xiaomi pro 2 is faster than the niu, by 3 or 4 kmh. tested 10 times i have both.
It is 100%, Pro2 reaches 25 in about 6 sec it beats the Niu @ 7.8 sec , even the original M365 is more than 1 sec faster than the Niu. but speed a side the Niu has better build and ride. if it is unlockable it would beat the xiaomi because it comes with 48v battery, which means Niu limited the power output.
I have kqi2 pro
How is it i ordered one and its coming Wednesday it will be my first e scooter
It's a very good electric scooter
@@flatlineryan Great! Let us know your first impressions.
Its very fun just got it today
Question: Is it normal for the taillight to stay on while charging?
@@flatlineryan yes you have to press the button again and the fire will go out 2 minutes later
Niu on Europe goes 20kmh only. Its for kids. Xiaomi can be updated to 27 or even 30kmh of we whant. So xiaomi win all.
20 kmh is only in a couple of countries where the law prohibits riding faster. In most countries, it goes 25 kmh.
Portability is very important so I would choose definitely Xiaomi pro 2 but if I want to buy a scooter around 20 kg there are better options out there than kqi like Segway ninebot g30 max.
For 399€?
