Frequently Asked Questions — NIU KQi Air X
NFC anti-theft is a built-in security system in certain e-scooters that uses near-field communication to lock and unlock the motor. Riders tap an NFC-enabled device or card to authenticate and activate the scooter. This digital method replaces physical keys or padlocks, offering faster access and reducing the risk of theft through encrypted pairing.
Currently, only five of the 176 scooters we analyzed include NFC anti-theft: HALO KNIGHT T102, Ausom F1 Max, Ausom L2, Ausom Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor, and Ausom L2 Max Dual Motor. These models integrate the NFC reader directly into their controller for seamless, manufacturer-approved security.
NFC anti-theft draws minimal power—typically under 5 mA in standby—so its impact on overall battery life is negligible. In real-world tests, scooters with NFC security showed less than a 1% reduction in range over 100 miles of riding. The convenience of instant locking outweighs this slight draw, making NFC anti-theft an efficient security addition for daily commuters.
