NIU NGT (NQi-GT) after 13.000 km / 2 years

A summary / review of my all season long term operation of my NIU N-GT (NQi-GT).

[Alan-urjo]

I have a NIU NGT in black, I only ride it on sunny days, as I have a car also. Fantastic little scooter.

I travel about 27 km a day in average with my electric scooter (a Chinese one but not a NIU, and it's just a 45 km/h moped, ”EU moped”) and so far I rode it a little more than 30000 km (30 Mm) without any serious problems yet. It just works and I never even brought it in for service. I love those electric two-wheelers, there's not much on them that can break. I've only had some minor problems, like the brake switches a few times and the switch for the side stand no longer works properly, so it no longer stop you from driving with the side stand down. Maybe I should at least fix that at some point.
I have thought of buying A NIU next time, and I found the information in this video valuable.
Maybe the Seat MÓ would be a better fit for you? I think the top speed is a little more than 90 km/h and the battery is at 5600 Wh and you can pull it around, since they are on wheels. It weighs about 40 kg, so stairs would probably be an issue. I have been thinking about buying one myself, but I would have to carry it 24 steps up and 24 steps down every day, so maybe not for me.

A great, informative and thorough review.

thanks for a great overview and review! this really helps a lot to see durability, they cost like 4000€ now...

[dr.victorstrange]

Thanks for this honest review. I was looking at the N but I do not like a bike with such small tires so I may be forced to get the M.

Great video, Niu must stand for buy one new every two years because nothing on it seems to last! It is shocking they told you paint flaking off is expected! You might like the new ninebot-segway e200p it can 100km/h

[dokesz]

Someone can tell me the size of the 2 bolts holding front brake caliper bracket to fork.And are there 2 spacers need it for front rim?

[SandervV]

since the wheel is also the motor my guess would be they would not like to damage the place where the bearings/ radlager are. i read they had to replace entire motors/wheels if the bearings collapse, i read that about SYM scooters used with couriers, that use has been excluded of warranty although they advertise that the scooters are ideal for that use ....

[shadowofthepast]

hi, very interesting video, can you tell what is the batteries degradation status. thanks

[josemestre]

Hi, many thanks your regular reviews of the NIU scooter. They gave me the confidence to buy a 2021 GTS Pro with close to 10k on the clock. Now, after a couple of months using it, I have noticed that the batteries are not depleting at the same rate. One has consistently less capacity than the other, for example, at the moment one is at 79% and the other at 73% capacity. Could you or anyone else commenting here found the same problem and, if so, could this be an issue? Also, the fork seems a bit loose, has anyone come across with a video explaining how to tighten it? Thanks!!!

[kristofferrydquist]

Thanks for a good review. I have looked at this but the flaws in corrosion and basic design misses such as fork 😮 and kickstand indicate no deal….. I’ve similar experience of 50cc, a Kisbee and a Baotian, same age and mileage. The Chinese is falling apart, plastic cracking and corrosion everywhere while the French/Indian design holds up perfectly.

[OKManNoOne]

Im big fan, and I want to switch from car to Seat Mo or Silence S01 Urban what do you think about them?

[windows_de]

I drive since 2 years 5-6 days per week at any weather. Got 8000 km now with NiuN1s. Drives 45 km/h

[borodinbonobo]

Hello Prometeus,
Thanks a lot for the video you have already helped me a lot with your presentation!
I am really thinking of buying the Niu you have. The thing is that my plan is to make the double km distance than you do, 120-140km per day (60-70 to the work then charge the bateries 8h and after 60-70km back home) at top speed.
Do you think that is posible?

[dotternetta]

I drive the same, also 64 km/day (2 x 32 km) Slow charge at work (from 50 to 100%), full in 7 hours because I use about 45% battery. Fast charge at home (again from 50 to 100% in 3, 5 hours). I would also love a top speed of 80+ kmh. The speedo lies, real top speed is about 76 with full battery. I cannot choose between the Horwin EK3 and Niu Evo

[colin]

I really want an electric scooter and this is the only one available to me that is a 125cc equivalent. That front fork issue seems like a really big problem, should I just get a petrol 125 instead?

[sanapung]

Forks bending on hard braking, i never heard about this. That means the scooter head very bad quality mechanical parts.

[joakimdam]

How does it do today 1 year later? I don't really want to buy it if it can only last one winter with salt. If it only lasts 1 winter/1 year I think a small car is even cheaper

[IfItAintBrokeStillFixIt]

thanks for the vid, what is the real world top speed, spec says 60 Mph, hear others getting 48mph.

[victormoor]

Do you have a recommendation for a quiet helmet? My helmet starts to be very loud at 40km/h already. Quite annoying when riding a noise free NIU
