NIU issues US recall of 2022 MQiGT EVO electric scooter, but fix is a software update
Summary
NIU’s latest flagship electric scooter, the MQiGT EVO, is now the subject of a recall in the United States. Our product team has conducted a thorough investigation into issues on the MQiGT EVO and acted quickly to ensure these have been addressed and resolved through vehicle firmware updates. In Europe, we have carried out a thorough investigation and determined that no product recall is necessary and that issues have been resolved through vehicle firmware updates. Compared to my current NQiGT Extended Range electric scooter that I’ve commuted with for the last two years, it was noticeably more powerful with quicker acceleration off the line. The scooter features a higher voltage 72V electrical system that helps it pump more power into the 5 kW motor.
