NIU story short: Ordered 300X, it couldnt even turn on when it arrived, so I declined a replacement and went for a refund instead. My reasoning is that if they don't even test the power button before shipping, QC must be non existing and I don't want another ride in that lottery.
Total round trip time from order to completed refund was around 5 weeks.
Support was really nice and forth coming, tho, which was nice.
That said, I now have to choose a new scooter.
My options, with pros and cons are...
Segway F3 pro:
- Gets awesome reviews, looks absolutely premium, has hinge for lock.
- Locked to local low speed, not sure it can be unlocked.
- Very polished build, probably not easy to repair if it breaks.
E-Wheels E2S V3 expensive version:
- A lot less polished look and functionality.
- Spares are easy to source, probably based on known Chinese platform.
- Can be unlocked to around 30 km/h.
- No reviews available for the new generation, previous gen has good ones tho.
What is the hive mind's opinion about this?
