Battery-Swappable E-Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

NIU Introduced the BQi-C3 Pro with a 920 Wh Battery and 62-Mile Range

— November 1, 2022 — Autos
NIU introduced the 'BQi-C3 Pro' electric bicycle with a lightweight battery pack that can be quickly swapped out. The bike is equipped with a 500W motor with a peak power output of 750W, combined with a large 960 Wh battery pack that delivers 62 miles of range per charge, though this will vary based on riding conditions. Additionally, the battery packs weigh only 6lbs each, making it easy to carry additional batteries in a backpack to extend the range by 62 miles per pack.

The BQi-C3 Pro achieves a top speed of 28 mph and outputs 45 Nm of torque, which is more than enough power for an urban commuter bike. In terms of its smart features, the BQi-C3 Pro boasts a smart TFT color display that displays important information such as battery life, distance traveled, current speed, and current driving mode.

The BQi-C3 Pro is available for preorder in a range of colorways at an MSRP of $1,999 USD.
