Niu Technologies is set to revolutionize the dirt bike segment with the announcement of a powerful over-the-air (OTA) software update for the XQi3 electric dirt bike at this year’s EICMA in Milan.
This update will significantly enhance the bike’s performance, making it a more formidable force on challenging terrains. They are initiating a phased rollout, starting now with select users and gradually expanding to their entire global audience.
The OTA update boosts the XQi3’s total power output to an impressive 10.6 kW, improving top speed, acceleration, and overall ride dynamics. Riders will experience quicker 0-75km/h times, with top speed increasing from 75km/h to 80km/h.
Thanks to an increase in continuous power output by 28% and “Boost Mode” power output by 36%, riders will reach the previous top speed of 75km/h more than two seconds faster than before.
In addition to higher power output, the XQi3 benefits from improved low- to mid-range torque, delivering a more responsive and exhilarating riding experience. This enhancement ensures the bike excels not only on straightaways but also on rugged, unpredictable terrains. The update for the off-road version will happen automatically through the NIU app.
NIU is setting a new standard in two-wheeled electric mobility as one of the first manufacturers to significantly enhance our existing vehicles through advanced software updates – said Sieghart Michielsen, Director of International at NIU Technologies. “We’ve listened to our riders and made an update which marks a significant leap in power and performance.
Instead of requiring our users to invest thousands of dollars in aftermarket components, we’re providing these enhancements at no cost.
