NIU Technologies, known for their electric two-wheelers, just rolled out their first electric dirt bike, the NIU XQi3. It’s a big deal for them, stepping into the electric dirt bike scene with something that’s not only cool but also smart and eco-friendly.
The XQi3 isn’t your average dirt bike. It’s built for both city streets and rough trails. Dr. Yan Li, the big boss at NIU, calls it a “city adventure bike.” It’s meant to give you a rush whether you’re dodging urban obstacles or tearing up a dirt path. The bike’s electric heart pumps out some serious power, making every ride a blast.
You’ve got two flavors of the XQi3: the Street version for road warriors and the Wild version for the off-road junkies. It can go about 43.5 miles on a single charge, and it’s all good with US and European motorcycle licenses. The 72v32Ah LG battery is a beast, cranking out 8000w of peak power, so you’re never left wanting more juice.
