    Best video I’ve seen on this bike, and I’ve watched over 20 or 30 now 😅 this had real statistics and also real driving, not country lanes but actually in a city and filtering, what’s it’s made for, not going to lie, I was staring at your left wing mirror constantly, as a non rider (atm) I’d be terrified of touching a car by accident

    I saw reviews of the smaller NIU. This looks like a really cool scoot and it looks like a lot of fun to ride. Zooming through the traffic. Looking forward to the full review. Considering a lot of electric bicycles are two grand thus looks like good value for money.

    Ideal machine for town and city use.
    My personal preference would always be for a motorbike-style rather than scooter-style machine but that is only due to my ridiculous height and long legs. The advantage of bike-style is that you can add top box and panniers for practicality.
    These machines are the future. Hopefully other manufacturers will catch up with the Indian and Chinese whose Governments are encouraging them to produce electric machines.

  • @thomasjoseph4718
    @thomasjoseph4718 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very good review of a very good machine. One important issue that you should discuss in your next review is the battery life and deterioration in range over time. I have had an electric bike for nearly 5 years - initially the range was about 100 miles when ridden carefully. After 5 years it is now down to about 40-50 miles. I think it will probably be another 3-4 years before I have to replace the battery and then I will probably have to pay about £400.00 for a new one. Also I am not sure about whether the lithium battery can be recycled. Production of lithium batteries has an environmental impact . Electric transport is not as clean as is widely believed.

    Nice take. These kind are everywhere in Asia. They definitely have a place, people just need to get over the scooter image problem! I used a LuYuan electric moped for years. Absolutely abused it and it never failed. It had a max range of about 50k, I'm a heavy bugger. But it was great fun for what it was. So handy to nip to the park, shops or work. Never liked the aesthetics of the NIU though, I always see them in white and they look like a washing machine 🤣

    I agonised over buying this bike for a long time. Instead, and also on the strength of your reviews, I ended up buying a Honda NC750X. For 70% of the riding I do, the NIU NGT Pro would have been a better choice of bike. Also, as an EV driver, I'm pretty much done with the internal combustion engine, the noise it makes and the changing of gears. In fact, in some ways I regret choosing the NC over this scooter. But, I really wished it had a bigger top speed (say 60mph) and a bit more acceleration and the NC is obviously a much better machine in general.
    My perfect two bike garage would have one of each.

    • @exeterrider
      @exeterrider  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel the same way Eric. I would have this as a second bike and also found me pulling out this one more than the NC. And also I think if it had a 60mph limit that would be more ever green, very rare that 45mph max caused a issue while I had it but its always in the back of my mind. Got out on the nc today, first time in 3 weeks and wow, it was good to get on it again! I still play with it in my mind about getting a NIU or alike sometimes because of its practical elements as a second bike and I love the app. It's a tough one, if it was in a motorbike style I would have bought it I reckon.

      Hi Crofty. Basically it works on the wattage of the motor.
