I was fortunate enough to be in the front row when NIU unveiled its new MQiGT EVO electric scooter<\/a> at the 2021 EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show last November. Now the leading smart electric scooter company has begun making deliveries in Europe, with other markets also set to soon receive the fast and powerful electric scooter.<\/p>\n

The NIU MQiGT EVO electric scooter<\/a> has begun hitting the road in Europe, which is one of NIU\u2019s main overseas markets.<\/p>\n

According to the company, other international markets including North America and Israel are said to be receiving the new EVO scooter in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

I happen to have taken delivery of my own NIU electric scooter<\/a> from the Tel Aviv dealer<\/a>, in a market where NIU\u2019s models have proven popular among both commuters and delivery companies. On-demand food delivery riders can be seen silently whizzing around on NIU scooters throughout the city.<\/p>\n

The NIU MQi GT EVO may look similar to some of NIU\u2019s previous models, but it\u2019s hiding a lot of new features under the hood.<\/p>\n

Not the least of those are impressive new performance specs.<\/p>\n

The scooter is said to top 100 km\/h (62 mph), making NIU\u2019s fastest e-scooter yet.<\/p>\n

That new higher top speed is made possible by a more powerful motor. The 5 kW (6.7 hp) motor actually peaks at 6.5 kW (8.7 hp), and the company says it can \u201ceffortlessly compete with any 125cc moped on the market, petrol or electric.\u201d<\/p>\n

I had the chance to do a few hot laps on the scooter last November after the unveiling, and I can tell you that it really flies off the line. It is significantly quicker than my own NQiGT Pro scooter.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no gas-powered 125cc scooter that will be able to match it when the light turns green.<\/p>\n

For now it is the fastest model in NIU\u2019s lineup, though it could be dethroned once NIU releases it RQi electric motorcycle later this year.<\/p>\n

You can see the unveiling of the EVO scooter and the RQi motorcycle<\/a>, along with a bit of my brief testing of the EVO in my video below from the Milan Motorcycle Show.<\/p>\n
