Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha NMAX 125 2023

Yamaha NMAX 125 2023

The NMAX 125 is and remains an uncomplicated scooter that works great - and now looks even snazzier. Just sit on it, ride off and feel good. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble in curves, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The driving performance is okay, the chassis offers sufficient comfort and the braking system seems surprisingly mature. The cargo compartment under the seat cannot compete with the X-Max 125, but it offers a surprising amount of space compared to the direct competition. In the end, the moderate price is also fully justified.

NIU NQiX 500 2026

With well thought-out storage space, modern technology and stable performance, the NQiX 500 fulfils the exact requirements that urban commuters place on a bike. The coherent operating concept, the app functions and the mature riding performance are particularly impressive. Weaknesses such as the height of the footboard for taller people are forgivable in the overall picture.

Fair price 100 km/h top speed plus 120 km/h boost function

Two removable batteries with fast charging time

Large storage space - even for a full-face helmet

Excellent app integration with real everyday functions

Good workmanship and quiet driving operation

Stable riding performance thanks to low centre of gravity ABS as standard

High footboard - rather uncomfortable for tall riders
