Furthermore, NIU uses the riding data from all scooters to constantly optimize the performance of its fleet.

“We aim to bring a new concept of mobility to Europe, enabling people to try a new lifestyle and way of exploring the urban world,” says Token Hu, NIU co-founder. “With the global e-mobility market expected to reach $62.2 billion by 2025, cities are looking into alternative ways of transport to reduce traffic congestion and the resultant air pollution. We are confident that our two all-new e-scooters will help transform the face of urban mobility by offering a high-tech, fun and sustainable alternative to other means of transport.”

‘’We see many millennials switching to e-scooters for their daily commute; the first thing they consider ahead of purchasing, is whether it makes them look good, and if it addresses their generation’s needs and expectations” VP of Design, Carl Liu added.

By the end of the second quarter on June 30th 2019, NIU has sold more than 810,000 scooters worldwide and accumulated 3 billion kilometers rider mileage across 34 countries since its launch in 2014.

The new products will be in stores within the first half of 2020. The newly launched products will be available for test drives. Book a test drive at https://www.niu.com/en/schedule-a-test-drive/
