CHANGZHOU, China, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NIU
Technologies (NASDAQ: NIU), the world's leading provider of smart
urban mobility solutions, announced today the launch of five new
electric urban mobility vehicles for China and global markets at NIU's annual
product launch. The company's CEO Dr. Yan
Li introduced four new electric scooters for China, and the company's first ever electric
kick scooter. The NIU KICK SCOOTER will be available to customers
this summer in the United States
and Europe.
The NIU KICK SCOOTER is designed to further penetrate the urban
mobility space by offering the best-in-class micromobility solution
for customers in cities across the United
States and Europe. Having
already opened the European and US markets to electric mopeds, NIU
is adding the kick scooter to its micro mobility portfolio to help
solve the 1 to 3 mile (1-5km) commuting needs of urban citizens.
NIU has also established a "Last Mile" mobility R&D team to
focus on creating new micromobility vehicles for global markets.
All of NIU's vehicles are app-connected and powered by the latest
lithium-ion battery technology.
"We believe we have created the most comfortable electric kick
scooter riding experience for under $1000, and of course we wanted to provide a
superior ride performance too", says Dr. Yan Li, CEO of NIU Technologies. The comfort is
found in the details of NIU KICK SCOOTER's more robust frame,
handlebars and stem, and the 9.5"x 2.5" wide pneumatic tires to
create a smooth gliding experience.
The NIU KICK SCOOTER will start at $599
USD (€599 in Europe) with
two versions -- the Pro and Sport models.
For the United States models, the
Pro has a top speed of 19.8mph and the Sport a top speed of
17.4mph. In Europe both versions
will have a regulated top speed of 25km/h. The NIU KICK SCOOTER
Pro has a range of 31 miles (50km) on a single 6-hour
charge, and the NIU KICK SCOOTER Sport will have a
range of 25 miles (40km) on a single 5-hour charge. The NIU KICK
SCOOTER will be available for an online pre-sale starting in
June 2021 with delivery in the
USA and Europe in July
2021. Global retail sales will begin in August 2021 and the NIU KICK SCOOTER can be
purchased online or in any of NIU's 1,000+ dealers and flagship
stores in Europe and North America.
"Part of our vision is to redefine urban mobility, and adding
kick scooters to our lineup is our commitment to our customers and
fans around the world to provide them with affordable mobility
solutions that they can be proud of owning and also rely on for
their daily commute", commented Dr. Yan
Li.
The NIU KICK SCOOTER Pro will be
connected via an app and powered by a 350W motor and 486Wh
lithium-ion battery pack while the NIU KICK SCOOTER
Sport will be powered by a 300W motor and 365Wh
lithium-ion battery pack. The NIU KICK SCOOTER is IP54 water
resistant making it perfect for all-weather riding
conditions. Conveniently, the E-SAVE mode and regenerative
braking technology will boost the riding range for extended weekly
commuting. The foldable design combined with the robust suspension
and frame sets it apart from the current offerings in the market.
The NIU KICK SCOOTER will offer a more comfortable riding
experience in the micro mobility space, and cater to multiple short
journeys, and longer commutes.
