NIU RQI Sport (2026)

Conclusion from the 1000PS editorial team

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.
