Pros and Cons in comparison

NIU RQI Sport 2025

The NIU RQi is positioned as a purely electric A1 bike with an urban focus. It offers practical riding performance, smart features and a unique selling point thanks to its removable batteries. Its strengths lie in its quiet, locally emission-free operation, digital operating concept and app integration. Its weaknesses are the suspension, seating comfort and limitations in terms of range and charging infrastructure. If you want to use the RQi as a commuter vehicle for short distances or as an urban motorbike and can charge it at home or at work, you get a well thought-out concept with a clear objective. However, it is only suitable to a limited extent for longer rides or sporty ambitions on after-work rides.

Seat MO eScooter 125 2021

Seat's first two-wheeler offers many great features, but falls short of the market leaders when it comes to core driving dynamics. It scores points for its great suitability for everyday use, witty detail solutions and individual appearance. The system with the battery in the form of a trolley and key-sharing via app should set a precedent - great stuff!

Good acceleration

sensible modes

recuperation

ingenious battery system

fresh look

enough space for two

large storage space

unique sharing system

reverse gear.

No ABS

display somewhat dusty

chassis wooden and uncomfortable
