NIU RQI Sport 2026

NIU RQI Sport 2026

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.

Honda X-ADV 2018

Honda X-ADV 2018

Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover motorbike. For the 2018 vintage, the off-road capability is underlined even more with the new G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT. However, the X-ADV's true playground is the country road, where it performs excellently and presents an ingenious mix of sportiness and a level of comfort that is otherwise only known from large tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.
