Niu reveals RQi-GT and TQi-GT e-bikes at 2020 CES

MANILA: Niu Technologies, a Chinese electric automaker, has introduced two new products at the ongoing 2020 Consumer Electronics Show. The two e-bikes can be viewed at booth number 35606 of South Hall 4 at the mega event. Revealed in the Sin City, the two bikes carry the titles RQi-GT and TQi-GT. While the RQi-GT is a conventional e-bike, the TQi-GT, on the flip side is a trike (three-wheeler).

Starting with TQi-GT, it is a self-balancing three-wheeler equipped with a canopy that provides the rider and the pillion with a true all-weather urban mobility solution. Moreover, being an electric vehicle, the trike does less harm to the environment while serving the purpose of hassle-free transportation just as well as other fuel guzzlers. Having a look at the Niu TQi-GT's specs, the trike features a modest top speed of 80 kmph alongside a single-charge range of 230 km. Niu claims that a Type 2 charger will fill the trike with enough juice for week's usage. On the safety front, the Niu TQi-GT gets an SRS airbag, traction control, and ABS. Moreover, the trike also comes equipped with the likes of self-parking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision detection, and regenerative braking.

Moving on to the Niu RQi-GT, the urban steer-bike gets a mid-mounted belt drive motor system that is capable of generating a peak power output of 30 kW. Powering the electric motor is a pair of Panasonic lithium batteries, which form a 6.5 kWh setup that works in tandem with NIU Battery Pack Architecture. As for the performance figures, the Niu RQi-GT sports a top speed of 165 kmph and a single-charge range of 135 km. Different riding modes, adaptive headlamp, traction control system, anti-theft & GPS tracking, and ABS further enhance the riding experience.
