It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The NIU KQi 100P is a very inexpensive electric scooter, but it doesn’t cheap out on features.

What are you experiences with air-filled tires on a e-scooter?
How often do you need to pump it?
How often they blowout?

My e-scooter is about 4 years old. I chose solid rubber tires. So, no blowouts, no refills.

We have two ninebot Max scooters, and they have tubeless air-filled tires. Combined, they have nearly 10,000km without a single issue with the tires.

As a general rule, I like to pump my tires (bike or escooter) before every ride, but they can go a week or two with very little to no pressure loss.

But I believe the reviewed model uses an inner tube, and it must be a nightmare to change in the event of a flat. The ninebot Max has this gel lining that acts as a tubeless tire sealant.
