It seems like the two wheel EV space is about to really get some momentum and these folks seem like they “get it” Thanks for the update M.👍
There was a gap between weak scooters going 50 km/h max and huge expensive beasts requiring a motorcycle license. NIU understands that the key to making electric scooters/motorcycles popular are more 125cc equivalents, which are the perfect option for most people living in cities.
Let's hope this brings down the cost.
True, but I think I'll wait for the East (?) India model. Theirs is built by a Woman owned, all women workers. The owner stayed she wanted to improve women's standing in India. The way, was to provide employment at a good wage for women. So far it's working! Although supply chain issues exist.
*Very well made **Latest.Bike** , looks sporty and performance is awesome I love this machine! It also rides like a Cadillac So you'll love it to!*
The Honda PCX is 157cc with actual storage space, from a reputable dealer, for $3799 US, and does 70mph and 88mpg.
Nothing against electrics, but the only thing $5000 competes with in small-cc scooter land is Vespa, and those aren't supposed to be affordable. These kind of prices are better but they're not "there" yet.
But its gas. No thx.
I own three NIU scootors in China, and have lots of fun. Thost scootors are upgraded privately within other suppliers in CHINA, Speed up over 70km/h and 100km with single charge.
I like the hybrid for places like here in Spain, when you're out touring in the empty countryside and there are zero charging possibilities
RQi doesn't cut here in Canada. Most highways are 110km/hr speed limit, which means most people do 120km/hr.
we need US dealers in SoCal for the GT EVO, thats a decent battery with amazing top speed. I am really looking forward for Cali love when they start shipping to the US
There is a dealer in Socal Vespa Motorsport
GT Evo looks good, starting to become a real alternative practicality and price wise. Another 10km/h would make it great for hopping on highway / city ring roads for short distances. If these where in Australia I’d seriously consider one for small errands/commuting. I can understand why they are not in Australia at the moment with Australia’s backwards thinking on EV’s, hopefully one day we get there.
Australia, like anywhere on the world should WANT/PLEASE the ppl to go on EV's. Strange, Australia's willing to pollute that beauty. Sad...
At the moment Australia is at a cold war with China, we all know where all EV batteries are built and the components for them are mined, yup only in China. Cheap labor with no environmental restrictions. EV are poisonous to the environment, its just not visible.
I love their scooters. I use them in nyc all the time with the rental company revel
They reliable please? As a new company, they are competing with Honda and Yamaha as they to are about to release there bikes. Thanks
The bicycle looks good I like the way they do the battery . Seems like it easily increase the density
The bicycle looks good I like the way they do the battery .
Hybrids make a lot of sense for many locations.
Thumbs up for this video. I would like to see the new Silence S01+ and other electrics if you can, like the Verge TS 1000 with the ring type motor.
Thanks for the video. Does the MQi GT comme with ABS ?
The thing is at the moment, you can have the top speed OR the top range, but not both! so if you are told it has a 60mph top speed and a range of 120 miles, you pick which one you want
You look like Alan Walker today (that day). Nice video and good job. I have learnt a lot from you, especially about building your own e-bike batteries. Thanks.
Is there any on-bike/scooter storage with these machines? :-)
I would also like to see this in belt drive. Maybe in the future higher-power version.
I like the hybrid scooter I would definitely buy💪🏾😍😍
Hey Micah, did you find out what brand of battery they're using? Thanks for the video BTW.
I hope you can get info on timeframe for Ultraviolette F77 deliveries to the USA….that bike is a bigtime game changer it seems
I wonder what the top speed was and range on the bike you rode on
Did they say when the KQI3 Max is going to be release in the US? I'm holding out for that
any word on when the MQi GT Evo will be released in the USA?
I like the hybrid bike that's what we been waiting for
Great video again Micah.
Looks kool, can’t wait for US pricing
This is just awesome
I wonder how the scooter suspension is? considering people that have had spine surgery or can handle stiff rides.
Is the scooter faster as an Govecs Schwalbe in Boost mode?
Has the Rqi launched?
RQi is beautiful but in this price (7000€) I would like to see a belt drive and 120kmh max speed without "turbo button". Strange that didn't mention in the video about the front facing and rear cameras!!
The chain drive would stop me buying the motorcycle.
Same here. I can’t understand what is the point of developing a clean an quite electric bike / motor and then just slapping an cheap old rattling and oil splattering chain on it. WTF I was excited for this thing at first…
shaft
I'm very tempted by the RQI, but not at this top speed. Niu needs to hurry up the 130km/h one, and go belt drive. Also, range seems low for motorcycle, it needs at least 150km range, or some time of fast charging. For scooters it's ok to have less range, but for moto, we need more range or possibility of expansion or fast charge.
@@HiveMind2024 too heavy, too expensive, but belt drive would be good or do away with the whole drive and use the hub motor
Hybrid 125 scooter is definitely a good option if you don't have a way of changing at home, but maybe at work like I do.
chain? I'm glad it goes in the right direction, more and more electric bikes but I think we need another 5-10 years to make it good enough to replace the petrol scooter that costs around £6k
We didn't get to hear the speed or range for the Evo, but I am doubtful that either is better than most 125cc petrol scooters. At $5000 it would be less than a Vespa, but more than almost every other 125. I am excited about Niu. I wish we had a dealer in Tucson.
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what 125's he is thinking of, but virtually all of em are less than five grand!
You might want to look into the Ultraviolette F77!…..That bike and it’s price will rock this world bigtime! Never seen or heard of a better team of individuals like them creating a bike or any other product and bringing it to the world….my two cents
@@kevindarkstar hes a salesman and they all are liars
We need the hybrid model in the USA because not too many cities or counties have electric charging stations.
That new electric street Hawk.
You can buy a Kymco 7kw petrol scooter for about 2300 euros, which is likely better made than the niu. It's a shame to see such a big price increase for such little extra power and range over their existing models.
Nice to see at least something moving in Europe.
Personally, I see, and Taiwan shows it, the future, especially in scooters and motorcycles, in exchangeable batteries.
All the electric scooters, except the new "Schwalbe" were all at 45km/h, which is fine for the city, but as soon as it goes outside the city, it's no fun anymore
I'm still laughing with my Yamaha EC-05
Also 125cc range, all-electric, range about 50-60km per charge with my riding style (fast and quick)
More power (7,5kw), faster (100km/h) and cheaper 3000€ (without subsidies) and let's say almost unlimited range, thanks to battery swap stations.
The same goes for Gogoro, Alpha and Sym Scooter.
3:50 , they look related or is it just me?
Why don’t you test drive the osa by cake
Good stuff
A better, or more options in color and paint schemes would be way cool.
1:48 Why did he say he would like to see a belt drive? Isn't chain drive going to be non slip and 'uncuttable'?
Because maintaining a chain is plain annoying and because it's the loudest part on an electric bike.
It's like you're interviewing yourself before you got a haircut.
The niu electric bicycle looks interesting and affordable.
Great 👍👍
RQi has no ABS?
I would love to get the electric bicycle
Nice ..
Yup, theres like 5 of us at work that have thought "with these rising gas prices, I'm riding an electric bike for sure"
Rising gas prices for a 2 gallon gas tank seriously i fill my tank for under $10
2 gallons cost around 18€ or $20 in here
I heard Jimmy from Electric Dreams say a Segway C80 only costs $900.00 in China compared to the $2200.00 Best Buy sells it for in the states. Jimmy rides a Segway E200P which is spec'd about the same as a Niu gts but you can only get it in Asia and it's only 2400-2700.00 US dollars. Why is the markup so high in Europe and the US?
same reason gasoline is $5.55/gal where i reside . . . . cause "you" got $money$ ...
Import taxes, your government wants a slice of the pie also.
The Hybrid scooter is very intriguing, however, the wheels look awfully tiny to be going 68mph top speed.
Vespa 300s have been doing 80mph for years.
You look exactly like the guy from NIU
I forgot to mention…..🗣Where the heck is the TQI? @niu mobility 🤔 Also the jury is still out on the EVO…..we need to really see it in action, and the presenter was so sure of the EVO out performing everything in the 125cc range….not so….most 125cc petrol ⛽️ scooters ranges are 101 MPG….while the EVO’s range is 40-47miles of range…& we know that’s gonna be cut in 1/2 if you’re going in mode 3 (62MPH). Sooooo….we shall see! 😆
7.5kw only? Minimum to be highway legal in Quebec is 11kw. Guess i'll be keeping my 250cc bike for the foreseeable future.
“Don’t quote me on that by the way “$5000” -Joe”” I see what you did there!
Concept design requires you start with the user, not simply adapt what is currently available. Unfortunately, the only vehicle I’ve seen to take this approach is the BMW which, as well as being out of most people’s budget, still isn’t perfect. But still, the ev market is making good progress, it now just needs to focus less on kW, range and speed - these specs are generally getting there - and more on what people actually need from a practical perspective.
Hybrid is welcome, we have zero choice currently and they would work for couriers who need longer range
I know this is an EV site but that hybrid scooter needs a test and write up. Please
i dont get it still using chains
4:58
"5000$"- Joe
That is expensive.
Yeah they say that it's the same price as a comparable 125, but you can get any of the Honda 125s for around 3300, and fill it up for $3 worth of gas in about a minute at the pump. EV's are great but they're not ready for prime time yet.
When I saw you via the live stream, I was like “oh yeah…can’t wait to see Micah’s review!” Now it’s here! NIU is my fav 🛵 Co. I’m excited about the EVO! 72V’s 5KW now is GAME CHANGER!!! 😱 On the one I buy(either the EVO or the NQI GT PRO) I’m gonna want the 72V 36AH 🔋’s like the RQI 🏍 has! 😆 🤙🏾⚡️
PS I wish I could get the RQI too, but 🏍’s are hard for me to mount for some reason! 🤷🏽♂️
PSS the Hybrid is a no go for me lol 👎🏾🚫
1AH=3km
I really hope they make something like the Honda trail 125 equivalent next. I mean these are mechanically probably there bust need a farther traveling suspension and off road ready tires.
OK, I've got an issue with the constant references to a 125cc as a moped! Since when did any country call the 125cc class as mopeds, certainly in the UK its 50cc over that it's NOT a moped 🤷🏻♂️
Most people in cities have no place to charge these.
My fly 7 cost me 2k including all after market parts and it out perform this bike lmao
Come to India. Build in India.
Indian middle class salivating to purchase.
NIU is basically the ”Tesla” of moped/scooter/motorcycles.
Maybe for moped/scooter, Tesla of Motorcycle would be LiveWiire/Energica/Zero
The problem will be the dealer network.
Bro, they aren't just the scooter company!!!!! 🤣
I'm looking for a real very powerful 4x4 (4wd) car in a motorcycle shape for 2 persons. So I can park on motorcycle's parking places in cities.
cool bikes, and quick-quiet enough a car, pedestrian, or bicycler will never know you're there until you're dead.
great tech, just no thought at all to road reality.
The price is a letdown too expensive for what they are
Are you guys brothers? i'm confused
I don’t see any tangible benefits to emotocycles. The performance and range just can’t match the gas guzzler variety.
They completely ripped off the Svart/vitpilen 401….but okay 👌🏽
Of course you can't buy it in the US, so that sucks.
62mph? Lol, definitely can't take it on the highway...
I'm a big electric vehicle fan and an ex scooter rider (too old and too cold now for me) BUT why do all the scooters have to look ugly and like the Vespa style, I would want ( an I expect youngsters too) to see something more sporty, even my old Kymco 50cc from 2010 looks better than these - and 5k!! - I can get a nice 125cc new for £2700!
Wont be buying unless they have a version that goes 100MPH, otherwise Ill stick with the tromox ukko with double the range
I libe these but until they lower the price and van make them cheaper then a petrol motorcycle and I can get one for.less then a 1000 dollars I will stick with petrol powered motorcycles.
As much as you may want to sell the saving of the environment, Australia is a country where EVs are not the best way to get around.
Joe Constanty needs to stop calling his scooters "mopeds". It's just a really bad look when a company's Director doesn't know the difference and doesn't know what he's selling.
The distinction between motorized 2-wheeled vehicles with pedals vs motor only 2-wheelers has once gain gained importance in many states as a direct result of high powered e-bikes... especially those in the category that includes the likes of the Super 73 and Juiced Scorpions.
I call them mopeds all the time, as does much of the industry. The “mopeds need pedals” thing died in the 90’s. Most state laws have update moped laws to simply a speed/power class, pedals not required.
If you are bothered as to what anything is called, you have insecurity problems. I have mopeds and motorcycles, you can call them what you want, they are single track vehicles all of them.
@@mannyechaluce3814 I have ICE motorcycles, scooters, e-bikes and even had a true moped once. I just simply call them what they are, as are you welcome to call them anything you want. But when a company's director doesn't seem to get the distinction, that is a red flag that they are simply selling a "widget" without a true interest in or understanding of the product. But then again, it's probably just my insecurity getting the best of me :-)
Hybrid or Halfcocked as I call them are outdated already,a waste of time I think.
Why are electric bikes and scooters ugly
Shitty music!
Idk, I feel like that's faster than any moped should go...
€5000 a bit steep for it
You can buy a 125cc for €3500ish
Hi everyone, unfortunately not all that glitters is gold, and I'm sorry to say I am an owner of a NIU MQI GT EVO scooter since 28/06/2022 and after about a week of use precisely on 6/07/2022 the scooter has me left on foot with error 123. The dramatic thing that to date the problem has not been solved and the most dramatic thing is that the KSR Italy and Europe (importers of the vehicle) had been aware of this problem for months just see the German forums that Italian of which I leave you the links at the end. Fortunately the dealer (a pore Christ) is kind and tries as he can to put some patches which do not hold up for long and KSR in response tells him the tale that shortly textual words "a minute" an elusive firmware update must come out. will correct the problem and there are people who have been waiting for it for 3 months and on 06/29/2022 the last one (MXE01N11) came out and didn't solve anything. I think that the times are still immature to be able to trust the purchase of anything that exceeds a certain value from these importers (KSR) who offer guarantees and assistance equal to zero, and if you decide to do so you have to consult google some time ago who said "do you feel lucky today?", if the answer and you proceed otherwise better desist. www.forumelettrico.it/forum/niu-m-series-f206.html - www.elektroroller-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=29430&start=60
