Besides, there is no need to exercise, better than cycling. The rest of the details are yet to be released by the company.
Niu Moped
The electric Moped has a classic Vespa look, with an affordable range of $2000. Compared to shared drives, the price is convenient for frequent casual travels on a regular basis. Technically, there are much cheaper versions, but the technology in Niu is impressive with connectivity and diagnostics.
Considering the local US market in scooters or two-wheelers, the country is lacking behind. The success of Moped in America is a combination of both the market availability and their unique technology.
Currently, Niu is most popular in New York City, however, from last year they have been focusing on other states, Washington, Austin, Miami, San Diego, and San Francisco.
