NIU WINS 1000PS'S TOP ELECTRIC SCOOTER AWARD — AGAIN

NIU secures 1st place for the second consecutive year and places four models in 1000PS's Top 10 Electric Scooters of 2026.

1000PS, one of the most respected motorcycle and scooter platforms in the German-speaking world, has published its Top 10 Electric Scooters 2026 recommendations. NIU leads the list — and holds four of the ten positions.

NQIX 500: NUMBER ONE, AGAIN

The NQiX 500 takes 1st place. This is the second consecutive year NIU's flagship has topped the 1000PS ranking, following the same result in 2025.

1000PS attributes the win to real suitability for everyday use, modern technology, and significantly more riding performance than a typical city e-scooter delivers. This is the standard the entire NQiX line is engineered to: 9.9 kW peak power, a 100 km/h top speed, up to 105 km of range from two swappable 72V batteries, a low center of gravity, and 28.5 liters of underseat storage — built for the daily commute and capable well beyond it.

A repeat win at this level requires more than a strong product launch. It requires continuous refinement, year over year.

FOUR MODELS. ONE RANKING.

Four NIU models made the Top 10 this year — more than any other brand on the list.

• 1st place — NQiX 500
• 3rd place — MQi GT
• 4th place — NQi GTS
• 8th place — FQi

Each model serves a different rider and a different use case, from the compact MQi GT to the long-range NQi GTS and the versatile FQi. The result demonstrates that NIU's approach to usability, technology, and performance holds across the full range, not only in the flagship model.

A RESULT BUILT ON MORE THAN RECOGNITION

This ranking reflects the work of the engineers refining battery performance, the designers shaping every component, and the teams across every market ensuring consistent product quality.

It is also consistent with what NIU's sales figures show: rider adoption is growing across markets. Independent test results and commercial performance point to the same conclusion.
