Is the Niu NQiX 150 load capacity really 150Kg?

What the title says, that's what I see on the specs online.

I was sold on the scooter but that is incredibly low. If you take 2 adults weighing 80 Kg each you are already above the threshold, and that's without counting any backpacks. Same goes for the NQi sport 2026 model

I built a free route planner for NIU electric scooters — looking for real-world range feedback

Hi everyone — I’m Alberto, an electric scooter rider from Italy and the independent developer behind 2W Route Planner.

I built it because conventional navigation apps can show us a route, but they don’t tell us whether a specific electric scooter will reach the destination with enough battery remaining.

You can select your exact NIU model and battery configuration, set the starting charge and desired reserve, and the planner estimates battery consumption at every stop using distance, elevation and weather. It also considers whether the selected scooter is allowed on the roads along the route.

The catalog currently covers models including the NQiX, FQi/FQiX, NQi, XQi, RQi, MQi and UQi families.

The planner is free, has no ads and works without registration:

I’m not affiliated with NIU. I’d especially appreciate feedback from owners who can compare the estimates with their real-world battery consumption. If a model, battery configuration or specification needs correcting, please let me know.
