Does NIU have a new electric vehicle within the works? It actually appears like we might have a new NIU on our palms next week, based mostly on a teaser despatched out by the Beijing-based e-mobility model.
With the Milan Motorcycle Show (EICMA 2021) developing next week, NIU seems ready to develop its intensive lineup.
NIU at the moment gives a variety of fashions from low-speed metropolis scooters to extra succesful 80 km/h (50 mph) scooters.
Last yr the corporate even unveiled an electric bike with a claimed prime velocity of 160 km/h (100 mph).
But what might the chief within the good electric scooter house be cooking up now?
As the corporate defined in a teaser on its web site:
“This year at EICMA we continue to expand our urban mobility portfolio and meet the needs of a wider range of urban commuters than ever before! From our high performance vehicles to our micromobility solutions, we have plenty to showcase at the largest 2-wheel event in Europe.”
The clues are a bit imprecise, however meaning to “expand our urban mobility portfolio” actually appears like a new vehicle.
Then there’s the aim to “meet the needs of a wider range of urban commuters than ever before” half.
Considering NIU’s electric autos vary from low velocity choices on the 25 km/h (15 mph) finish to its upcoming high-speed electric bike on the 160 km/h (100 mph) finish, there’s not a lot room left to develop there. It’s laborious to think about NIU releasing a good greater velocity bike than that.
On the opposite hand, whereas we’ve seen the corporate’s RQi electric bike briefly since its first unveiling, now we have but to get a more moderen take a look at the three-wheeled TQi cover scooter idea that NIU unveiled at CES 2020.
The NIU TQi might thus be ripe for an official launch. With a prime velocity of fifty mph (80 km/h) and a spread of as much as 150 miles (241 km), the scooter falls into the same efficiency vary as the corporate’s present main two-wheeled electric scooters. But its coated design and three-wheeled setup for elevated stability actually matches the invoice to “meet the needs of a wider range of urban commuters than ever before.”
While the TQi appears like an inexpensive guess, NIU has actually stunned us earlier than. We’re not counting something out for the disclosing.
Electrek might be in Milan to cowl NIU’s launch immediately from the present ground next week.
For anybody not within the space and who can’t go to the present in individual throughout its public days, NIU will host a livestream unveiling on November 24 at 1:40 p.m. CET.
More data on the livestream is out there on NIU’s web site.
And for those who simply can’t wait to get extra NIU content material, be at liberty to hitch me on a trip of my very own NIU scooter in my assessment video under.
It is probably not as cool as no matter they will debut in Milan next week, however it’s mine!
