NIU has shown off the Concept 06, a 95 mph electric maxi-scooter built for riders who want strong speed, real comfort, and smart tech in one package.
It looks and feels close to a full size motorcycle, yet it keeps step through practicality.
So you can ride it to work, load some shopping, then head straight onto the ring road without feeling underpowered.
And that mix is the point.
Many electric scooters stay locked in city speeds.
Concept 06 pushes past that limit and starts to look like a daily machine for riders who split time between urban streets and fast routes.
Power that matches the design
Under the body sits an electric motor rated at 20 kW.
Top speed targets around 155 km/h, so the scooter sits well above the 45 to 70 km/h crowd.
That kind of pace fits highway entries, fast lanes, and longer suburban links.
Braking matches the power.
The scooter uses dual disc brakes and a reinforced chassis that aims for stable control when speed climbs.
And the suspension package targets rough city surfaces and smooth open roads with the same frame.
So riders who now rely on petrol maxi-scooters see a familiar level of confidence, just with an electric drive.
Range numbers stay in concept stage.
Even so, the layout, size, and intended role point toward longer rides, not short block to block trips.
The idea is simple.
You charge, you ride across town, you keep going past the city edge, and the scooter still feels in its zone.
Safety tech built into daily use
NIU loads the Concept 06 with active safety tools that feel natural for this class.
A rear radar module tracks traffic behind the scooter and pushes alerts to the rider.
And projected cues on the road help drivers notice the scooter in busy traffic.
Headlights adapt their pattern to speed and conditions.
So light stays where the rider needs it, and the scooter stands out at night.
Subtle ambient lighting on the body helps with visibility and gives quick feedback on status.
Camera coverage keeps an eye on the bike when parked and records rides when on the move.
Then a Sentry style function reacts if someone tampers with the scooter.
Alerts link back through connected features, so owners stay aware when they leave it outside.
On top of that, rider aids such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, and low speed Push Assist support real life use.
And these tools matter most for riders who step up from 50 cc class scooters and want help handling a heavier and faster machine.
Comfort and small touches that feel thought through
Concept 06 does not only chase numbers.
It aims to feel easy to live with.
An electric windscreen and adjustable handlebar help riders dial in posture for city hops or highway stretches.
And a broad seat with generous foot space supports longer time in the saddle.
Then there is a fold out tray idea near the front.
It looks slightly odd at first, but it speaks to how people rest, check a laptop, or snack while the scooter charges.
Storage under the seat appears ready for a helmet and daily gear.
So the scooter keeps the basic utility that makes maxi-scooters popular.
A wide central display brings together speed, range, riding mode, and navigation.
And the link with NIU’s connected platform lets riders check charge, track location, and tweak some settings from a phone.
Tire pressure monitoring, a self opening saddle, and keyless start round out the tech.
Regenerative braking smooths city riding and sends a bit of energy back into the pack.
So stop and go traffic feels less wasteful and more controlled.
What this concept tells riders about NIU
Concept 06 sends a clear signal.
NIU wants a place in the high speed electric maxi-scooter class, not only in the light city segment.
The scooter targets people who ride every day, carry gear, use ring roads, and expect their next machine to run on batteries, not petrol.
Specs and features can adjust before a final production model.
Even with that in mind, the message stays firm.
NIU is ready to chase riders who view an electric maxi-scooter as a real replacement, not a second toy.
