Unrivaled Performance
25km/h Top Speed
Light and powerful, you can race to class or work on your KQi1 Sport at speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour.
30% Larger Battery Capacity
At 243Wh, the KQi1 Sport has 30% more capacity than competitor models, allowing an improved range of up to 25 kilometers per charge so you never have to worry about the distance.
Powerful Rear Wheel Drive Motor
The 250W motor is standard in this segment, but rear wheel drive is not. This allows us to have best-in-class hill climbing for up to 14% slopes and strong acceleration.
Unmatched Comfort and Ease of Use
Wide Deck, Handlebar, and Tires
Wider is better! A wide 52cm handlebar improves steering and handling, a wide 14.2cm deck means more room for your feet, and wide 2.3” tires mean better shock absorption on the road.
