NIU's MQI + electric scooter comes with lithium-ion battery

NIU, which claims to be the number one electric brand in the world, has launched another new model NIU MQI Plus in the Nepali market. The company, in collaboration with world-renowned company Bose, has again made the new generation e-scooter available in the Nepali market.

The new scooter has a different driving mode and more space for a second rider. The NIU MQI Plus electric scooter has a 48 volt 31 AH lithium-ion battery and a Bose 1500 watt electrometer. The maximum speed of the scooter, which has a range of 60 to 75 kilometers on a single charge, is said to be 45 kilometres per hour.

Because of the robust frame, the rider on this scooter can feel confident. The combination of lithium-ion battery and Bose motor makes the scooter more powerful. The scooter will be available in 5 different colours.

The new upgrade to the scooter has made it more customer-friendly.

All scooters have a prepaid SIM card slot available, which can be connected 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the NIU app. With its help, real-time intelligence scooters like GPS, anti-theft tracking, remote tracking, scooter diagnostics, and help center are available to the rich.

NIU scooters have been available in the global market since 2015. At present, 7 million NIU scooters are sold in 40 countries and the company estimates that they have covered 7 billion kilometres.

The company says that NIU scooters have been available in the Nepali market for the past four years and so far 800 units of scooters have been running on Nepali roads.

Eco Infinity is selling and distributing NIU scooters in Nepal. Pragun Rajbhandari, Director, Eco Infinity, said that apart from this scooter, various ranges of e-scooters, e-bicycles, and bicycles are also available in the Nepali market at present and their objective is to provide satisfaction to all customers for urban mobility. He said that eco-friendly vehicles will be provided at affordable prices.

It is the first successful e-scooter company to get a number plate in the Nepali market. Similarly, Darbar Marg and Jhamsikhel in Kathmandu Valley are the first company to have two showrooms and it is also a successful company to get finance cooperation from 8 A-class banks.

Due to all these, NIU is expected to become a game-changer in the Nepali electric vehicle market in the coming days.
