Summary
The new Niu NQiX: an expanded range for 2025
Among the latest innovations presented by Niu at the EICMA, the range of NQiX electric scooters comes in four variants, with models equivalent to 50 and 125 cc. Scheduled for launch in France in 2025, these models introduce significant developments, notably in architecture and equipment.
Significant evolutions
The design of the Niu NQiX opts for a discreet line, with a characteristic round headlight. To maximize storage space, the batteries are now located under the footboard rather than under the seat. The on-board computer receives a 4-inch color LCD screen, integrating GPS and phone connection, with a control wheel placed on the handlebar.
Four variants to appeal
Planned to be one of the brand’s main models, the Niu NQiX offers four variants powered by a 72V wheel motor:
- NQiX 150: Suitable for users without a license, it has a 2.6 kW motor and a removable 2 kWh battery. It reaches 45 km/h for a range of 70 km.
- NQiX 300: Falling into the category of small 125 electric scooters, this model offers 5 kW of power, allowing 80 km/h and two 2 kWh batteries for about 120 km range.
- NQiX 500: Also classified in 125, it offers 9 kW and a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Its range is 95 km with its dual battery.
