Niu Technologies launched a new over-the-air software update for their XQi3 electric dirt bike. This update promises to greatly improve the bike’s capabilities, making it an even more formidable player on rough and rugged terrains. The rollout of this update will be staggered, beginning with a select group of users and gradually expanding to their worldwide user base.
With the latest OTA update, the XQi3’s total power output is now 10.6 kW, resulting in improved top speed, acceleration, and overall riding experience. Riders can expect quicker 0-75 km/h times, with a new top speed of 80 km/h compared to the previous 75 km/h. This is made possible by a 28% increase in continuous power output and a 36% increase in “Boost Mode” power output, allowing riders to reach the previous top speed significantly faster than before.
“NIU is setting a new standard in two-wheeled electric mobility as one of the first
manufacturers to significantly enhance our existing vehicles through advanced software
updates,” said Sieghart Michielsen, Director of International at NIU Technologies. “We’ve listened to our riders and made an update which marks a significant leap in power and performance. Instead of requiring our users to invest thousands of dollars in aftermarket components, we’re providing these enhancements at no cost.”
Along with increased power output, the XQi3 boasts improved low and mid-range torque, resulting in a more thrilling and dynamic riding experience. This upgrade guarantees high performance on both smooth roads and rough, unpredictable terrain. The off-road version will receive this update automatically through the NIU app.
