Pros and Cons in comparison

NIU NQiX 500 2025

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

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.
