Compare the NIU KQi3 MAX and the Minimotors Dualtron Mini

When considering lightweight, compact, high performing electric scooters, the NIU KQi3 MAX and the Minimotors Dualtron Mini are two models that might catch your attention. But how do they compare?

Starting with the NIU KQi3 MAX, this scooter, equipped with front and rear disc brakes, boasts a top speed of 45km/h. Its maximum range is an impressive 60km on a single charge, thanks to its 48V, 31AH lithium-ion battery. Notably, it comes with regenerative features, allowing the rider to use the energy from braking to recharge the battery. With a 3 hours charging time and a weight of only 26kg, its suitability for commuters and active urban dwellers is clear.

On the other hand, the Minimotors Dualtron Mini boasts a faster top speed of 60km/h. This scooter uses a 52V, 17.5AH lithium-ion battery and has a slightly lesser range of up to 50km on a single charge. An important aspect to note about the Dualtron Mini is its dual motor design. This provides significant power, affording it high climb ability. Weighing in at 22kg, it also offers a faster charge time of only two hours.

In terms of customization and comfort, The KQi3 MAX offers three modes of travel – pedal, electric and moped mode for more versatility whilst the Dualtron does not. The Dualtron Mini, however, has adjustable shock absorbers for better ride comfort and it comes with EYE throttle for a customisable and intelligent ride.

In conclusion, while both scooters offer high performance and are great options for personal urban transportation, the choice between the two comes down to personal preference. The NIU KQi3 MAX may be better suited to those with longer commutes and appreciate added various modes of travel. Meanwhile, the Minimotors Dualtron Mini might be a better fit for those after a bit more speed and power, and a quicker charging time.
