NIU KQi Air: price, specs & release date

shop.niu.com (NIU official US store, manufacturer) detailed spec table states verbatim: Model "KQi Air", Top Speed 20mph, Range 30miles (the product title separately says "31 miles"), Rated Power 350W with Max Power 700W, Max Rider Weight 265lbs, Vehicle Weight (inc. battery) 26.2 lbs, Tire "Tubeless Tire" / Wheel Size 9.5", No Suspension, UL 2272 Certified, 451.2 Wh battery, 48V, carbon fiber (PYROFIL TR50S15L) frame; sale price $899.00 (regular $1,499.00, Save $600.00). Exact model KQi Air confirmed (distinct from the KQi Air X variant). riderguide.com (independent) confirms this exact model as a ~26 lb carbon-frame lightweight scooter, reviewed December 9, 2023 ("Best of 2023"), supporting the 2023 release. motor_w 350 = continuous rated power (700W peak); range_mi 30 taken from the itemized manufacturer spec ("Range: 30miles"). tire_type corrected to "tubeless": the fetched source says only "Tubeless Tire" — the word "pneumatic" does not appear verbatim, so it was dropped. Prior provenance cited global.niu.com metric specs and "Best of IFA 2023"; those were not re-fetched this pass and are not asserted here.
