Great video, also to remember for people who want the bike once you go under 20% battery the bike automatically goes into Eco Mode so you'll be doing 17-20mph. Something to think about if your low on juice and have to make the journey back home.

Second time I've watched your informative video. Yes my scooter was delivered to my house a week ago. Looking it over, first impressions, it's brilliant. First time out yesterday, again first impretion it's amazing. I recommend this scooter 100%.

One thing it's missing... anti lock breaks/ABS. I rode my NQI GT a lot last year until someone pulled out in front of me, I skidded to the concrete.. broke my arm and dislocated my shoulder. I would gladly would pay more for an ABS version. I read a statistic that 1/3rd fewer deaths on motorcycles with ABS. Aside from that I love the NIU scooter.. I'd say my only complaint other than the ABS is it has a smooth ride but little bumps are pretty harsh, maybe a little better suspension would be nice. Great vid

Excellent comprehensive review. Thanks a lot. That looks like a lot of fun.

Exelant review, my NiGT is being delivered to my house next Tuesday, I am so looking forward to getting out on it. More so after watching your review. After 10+ years and 3 Harley-Davidsons. I very recently decided to considerably downsize from my Softail Street Bob. So traded in for a new Vespa GPS SUPER SPORT HPE. Thought though on the deal i got I must also get an e-scooter the NiGT will be perfect.

Hello! Just found you via the Artisan electric bike team! I'm due to ride their ES1-Pro, can't wait!

Excellent review and demonstrations...thx much for useful review on this bike 👍😎

Very good review, thx mate! Just looking at one here in Seychelles. Also a TVS I-Cube comes into contention. I like the quirky styling of the Niu. Also like the fact the batteries are removable. This will come in handy when you're out of the country for a while, it's always better to store the half charged batteries separately from the scooter inside your house.

Love your bike wish i could have one. Good job sir!

Great content Thanks for reviewing. The game changing feature of this is being able to take the batteries out the scooter and take into the home to charge on economy 7. Thanks, thumbs up.

Great review as always

Great views and useful review. Thank you 👍

Good in-depth review, Thanks

Nice work, thanx James.

25 seconds to insert both batteries. And if you had a spare pair of batteries, you could have one set charging at home while you go out again using the second pair. Not a friend of scooters, but I like the idea of this one. Thanks James.

I test rode one a few days ago, I found it perfectly adequate for city riding.I wasn’t impressed with the handling it was very stodgy on the front, also the throttle had a dead spot right at the top. I was impressed that I was able to go through a park without disturbing any of the animals, I wasn’t impressed with going up hills, a bit slow.. all in all I think I’ve been considering buying one for commuting.

Great review, thanks.

The indicator bong sounds very oriental :)

Note: The indicator sound can be changed to one which is more or less annoying :-)

Great review

Nice Review, only concern from the footage is, tighter corners in the dark. It seems, that the beam is rather narrow. Or is it a false impression i got here?

Good test James. Just ordered my first stand up e-scooter a zero 8. Can you do a test on one ?

Guys in the states are getting up to 50 mph 🏁

Nice review

Hi James I've got the NGT, you can change the indicator sounds, they are all annoying though, lol. The app is excellent and a big part of these bikes, GPS tracker built in, all sorts of useful info on there, it's probably been locked off though as the owner has to allow access to the app. I thought you were going to lock your keys under the seat!! Thanks.

thanks for valuable information..

5 seconds to 30mph 8 seconds to 40mph 11 seconds to 45mph. Not far off what a small car on local roads driving would be like. Amazing video,

Nice one Jimbo

Great video James. NIU is pronounced “new” in English. Would you be able to get your hands on a UQI Pro at some point?

Really interesting especially on that miniscule cost per mile

Very interesting, Can't find any details on the website. I hope they put some info up soon.

Always charge indoors in the winter - temps less than zero centigrade will destroy them when charging

Looks fun but that indicator noise would piss me right off :)

NIU (new) is Mandarin for bull. Hence the rear tail light -not brake light- is shaped like bull’s horns.

Great test, thanks! Could you please test the Silence SO1 next?

Does cleevley ev mobile service Niu mopeds? Had my Uqi a week and loving it, but nearest Niu dealer is 22mile away ☹️

I'm undecided with this Niu moped as there is another Chinese electric bike called a Suron, also getting good reviews. One downside you didn't mention is the increased insurance premium for ev bikes.

Nice review, I'm trying to decide between the niu nqi gts pro and super soco cpx. Have you tried the cpx .

Good review James. As you say, for an inner city delivery bike I'm sure it would be very good. Did I miss the price of the Bike?

It's possible to change the indicator sound, there is apparently 7 different sounds built in

Great video, only moment of worry was when you were removing the second battery and left your keys under the seat before lowering the seat down... thought you’d locked yourself out there! Risky!

When I get mine... I'm going to paint is bright orange for visual safety........

Hi James. Is this classed as a moped for UK driving licence rules?

Will the charger (without the splitter) fit under the seat? So I can charge it at the other end of my trip, before riding home?

Would an electric scooter like this make you want to go out riding? Or is it too 'boring?' to consider having fun on it, i.e Sunday afternoons around the local back roads? You have small scooters like the new Honda Cub 125 which running costs would be very low, about the same range but being petrol you just fill up again and carry on. Have you ridden the new Honda Cub? Be interesting which you'd consider spending your own money on?

If you think that is good, wait until you can get the silence 01 that will blow your mind!

Mopeds at 49cc are not allowed on motorways. Is this allowed?

I’ve been agonizing over purchasing this bike for over two weeks. Just sold my big 1200cc petrol bike fully intending to by an electric bike. My biggest issue is the top speed. I have a fair bit of dual carriage way in my commute and the 50mph top speed can get tiresome. More than that it doesn’t have much grunt for overtaking between 40 and 50 mph for overtaking. The BMW C evolution would be perfect but at €14,000 it is way too expensive. I might have to have one last petrol bike to carry me through for another 4 years until I can get something electric with a bit more power.

Can you charge this at a petrol station if you`re running low on a journey?

James...as always a great review. The difficulty is that a serious percentage of people in western Europe are a little anti the country of manufacture for reasons that do not need explaining. All the technology has been nicked from somewhere else and knocked out by a population paid three cents an hour. However great the products appear to be the life expectancy is likely to be short. I love the MG5 but never in a million years would I... This takes nothing away from your great quality reviews

"best put together, best quality and best ride" - Sounds like you haven't tried the all electric version of the Honda PCX yet. It blows this out of the water, as you'd expect.

Very disappointed in this bike but I'm upgrading ASAP

Made in china Anyone who knows anything about bikes wouldn't buy a Chinese made bike

Excellent review, thanks.
