The M1 is an evolution of the NIU design language that puts a modern twist on heritage scooter design. Everybody has their own style, so NIU created a color just for everybody. The M1 has been created for a single rider, every design element creates a personalized experience.
NIU has been abled to reduce the weight of their frame by incorporating a curved and cradle structure. The new truss has been optimized for urban riding. Minimal at its core, the M1 cradle is made up of only three plastic components that mesh with the curved frame, that creates the illusion of a single sloping linear structure.
By employing an ultra-high temperature casting procedure, the Aluminum-Titanium alloy has allowed NIU to build a swingarm whose strength-performance out rivals the original materials.
The M1 dashboard design incorporates an all new riding-mode toggle making it that much easier for you to go from ECO to performance mode. NIU also added an intuitve hazard-light button in automobile inspired turning indicators.
No detail is overlooked. And a comfortable ride is NIU’s priority. A 45mm cushion combined with a breathable PU skin provides the ideal level of comfort for your largest touchpoint with the M1.
Everyone has different needs for their riding experience, so from storage boxes to floor mats and helmets, there are lots of accessories that matches your riding personality.
