Diagnosis
The regenerative braking strength is set too high in the app. The KQi3 Pro allows adjustment, and the default can be too strong for some, causing a lurching feeling.
How to Fix It
Open the NIU app, connect to your scooter, and go to Vehicle Settings > Regenerative Braking. Lower the setting from ‘Strong’ to ‘Moderate’ or ‘Weak’. Test ride to find your preference.
IF THAT DIDN’T WORK Your physical disc brakes may be out of adjustment, forcing you to rely too heavily on the e-brake. Learn to blend both brakes—use the left (rear disc) lever for primary slowing and the right (regenerative) lever for fine control.
Heads Up
Weaker regenerative braking will put slightly more wear on your physical brake pads and recover less energy to the battery. It’s a trade-off for comfort.
