The Segway-Ninebot P100S is a higher-performance scooter with a more powerful motor, longer range (advertised), and a suspension system for a more comfortable ride. However, it is significantly heavier. The NIU KQi3 Max is lighter and more portable, but lacks suspension and has a lower top speed and motor power. The choice depends on the rider's priorities: comfort and performance versus portability and ease of handling.
