    Just got one and the app does now include the option to do a zero start acceleration. I ride with my younger kids on their little segway scooters, I like that I can set my max speed to 10mph so I can match their max speed.

    Fantastic video, really nicely produced and very informative! Having ridden both this and the KQi3 Pro, can you please tell me if you remember which has the higher handlebars? The specs actually show the KQi2 Pro does but it's hard to tell in the videos and I'm concerned about bending down too far to reach them. At 6'4 and size 12 shoe, looking to see which one would be a better fit, as well as which would suit someone 5'5 better. Thank you very much!

  • @Del-Canada
    @Del-Canada Před měsícem

    The reason they make you do the tut with each new scooter you buy is because all scooters have to have that feature regardless of whether you have done it or not. Also, you could have bough the scooter as a gift and let someone use your account, or maybe you share the account with a sibling or friend. It makes sense. It's really no big deal. They have no way of confirming if it's literally you getting on the new scooter.

    • @Del-Canada
      @Del-Canada Před měsícem

      Another example, my brother doesn't use cell phones. So if he got a NIU he'd need to do the tutorial using my account. There are many reasons to redo the tut.

  • @galacticgalaxyonezerone7235

    I never understood the push start just make it throttle from zero that’s kind of a bozo move especially in certain situations involving traffic like being stopped on a heavy incline it’s bad enough it sags on hills but to then have to push it is absurd in that situation.

    I appreciate the effort, but €499 (+shipping and handling) is a little expensive for the limited options and inconvenience of having to always keep your phone and data running, and only being able to turn the scooter on when it's plugged.
    I also agree that the app should recognize that you've already done the tutorial. I got my Gyrocopter Flash 3.0 from Best Buy at 50% off, for $400 CAD. It's available all over the place for around $900 CAD when it's not on sale (which is less than the cost of importing a €500 scooter, after exchange rates).
    It comes stock with double spring suspension, has the same top speed as the NIU scooters, solid honeycomb tires, and doesn't require a tutorial or data or that you drain your battery by keeping your cellphone open the whole time.
