Company History
NIU popularized the idea that an e-scooter should feel like a smartphone on wheels—in the best sense. Removable battery packs that charge in apartments, honest range displays, OTA-capable ECUs, and theft-alert telematics made ownership transparent and low stress. Hardware matured quickly: IP-rated connectors, improved BMS algorithms, and braking/suspension tuned for dense cities. Fleet partnerships reinforced reliability under abuse, while retail networks in Europe and Asia normalized service expectations for EVs. NIU’s design language favors clean lines and intuitive UX over spec-sheet bravado; yet performance remains brisk enough for urban limits and delivery work. Historically, NIU marks a tipping point in electric two-wheelers: when software clarity, charging convenience, and solid aftersales met at a mass-market price. The result is millions of quiet commutes and a reset of consumer expectations around updates, diagnostics, and total cost of ownership.
