NIU Technologies, a global leader in smart urban mobility solutions, introduces two new electric vehicles: the RQi-GT and TQi-GT, to add to its extensive line-up at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Committed to providing convenient and environmentally friendly ways to commute, NIU’s new ground-breaking electric vehicles aim to change the way people commute and think of urban mobility.
“Congestion is rampant in overpopulated cities, costing commuters time and money, as well as imposing a detrimental impact on the environment. At NIU, we combine style with technology to design efficient and affordable solutions to combat these urban concerns,” said Dr. Yan Li, CEO at NIU Technologies.
RQi-GT electric motorcycle
The new RQi-GT is an urban performance electric motorcycle, allowing riders to reach the outer limits of their city at top speeds of 100 miles per hour. Distinct driving modes let drivers customize the e-motorcycle to suit their daily life and commuting needs by optimizing the vehicle’s performance. Designed and built around NIU’s advanced technology, the motor provides a peak output power of 30 kW and the two removeable batteries (combined 6.5 kWh) can take riders up to 80 miles on a single charge, making it the perfect mode of transportation for navigating both urban highways and congested city streets.
TQi electric three-wheeler
Revolutionizing the future and carving the way for a new vehicle category, NIU has reinvented the wheel with a unique twist and more modernized way to ride. Set out to create a vehicle that riders of any experience level would love from the moment they grab the handlebars, NIU invented the TQi-GT. The TQi-GT is NIU’s first self-balancing electric three-wheeler, which comes standard with autonomous driving functionalities, including self-parking. Designed to provide urban commuters with an advantageous way to enjoy their city, the TQi-GT can reach top speeds of 50 miles per hour and has a range of up to 80 miles to provide more than a week of urban commuting range. In order to provide additional safety features for urban drivers, the TQi-GT is also equipped with an anti-lock braking system. The vehicle’s enhanced performance and updated safety features provide drivers with a new, unmatchable way to navigate through crowded city streets.
