My NIU NQI GTS Pro has the same problem that the NIU EVOs were recalled for. One or both batteries will suddenly turn off causing a drop in speed. I am confident this is a firmware problem. This is a major safety concern. I believe the GTS Pros need to also be included under the recall. I have filed…

Steering

ODI #11647535

Incident: March 10, 2025 · Filed: March 11, 2025

At higher speeds including over 40 mph the handlebars vibrate excessively requiring holding it with both hands, and being difficult to safely signal with my arms if sometimes needed. It is difficult to drive without both hands firmly holding onto the handlebars, even briefly. The NIU MQI GT EVO had a recall associated with the excessive vibration, and the NIU MQI GT has the same body just different power but has not been recalled.

ODI #11503288

Incident: May 3, 2022 · Filed: January 23, 2023

My NIU NQI GTS Pro has the same problem that the NIU EVOs were recalled for. One or both batteries will suddenly turn off causing a drop in speed. I am confident this is a firmware problem. This is a major safety concern. I believe the GTS Pros need to also be included under the recall. I have filed a lawsuit against the dealership I bought it from and NIU seeking a full refund and return. https://niustore.com/products/nqigt

Vehicle Speed Control

ODI #11478103

Incident: July 23, 2022 · Filed: August 8, 2022

The throttle has become unpredictable at best. First a check engine light and error 142 code appeared, then the throttle issues began. Sometimes the scooter wouldn't move at all, sometimes the throttle only works at the halfway point, and worst is at times the throttle goes from 0 to 100% no matter the throttle position. The sudden acceleration is particularly scary as this electric scooter has a top speed of 70mph.
