Worked perfectly on my NQI GTS Standard range. Went from 55 to about 65!! Love from the UK 🇬🇧

[@VespaPortland]

Oh wow. We hadn’t tried it on one of those.

[@ballsman37]

@@VespaPortland I figured if the way to change the blinker sound is the same, that would probably work too

[@jayboothy]

How did you do it. Just tried with 2024 model and still 55MPH

[@jayboothy]

Just tried with 2024 gts extended range and nothing. Any advice.

Worked great for my 2023 niu mqi+ sport! I was wondering why it wasn't hitting top speed so thanks!

[@VespaPortland]

Congrats!

[@PercocetPete]

I just want to say, thank you so much for this video, I've been riding for a year while locked, feels so much better now! Ty

[@VespaPortland]

Glad to have helped!

[@christophervergara2962]

Awesome! I'm seriously thinking of getting a 2023 UQi Gt Sport after watching your video. Is the trick still working? I would really apreciate your answer. Thank You!

It certainly is still working. Thanks for watching.

Hi I have a Niu scooter called F400 T And it is limited to max speed 25 km/hr Can you please help to unlock the speed

[@VespaPortland]

Sorry that model isn’t sold in the US so this process may or may not work for it.

[@minto9933]

Hello, thanks for the video. Will this work on a 2023 NIU NQi Sport? If so, what would be the new max speed on Level 3?

[@VespaPortland]

It should. Max speed will just be 30mph.

[@LucienneBellizzi]

Did it work for you Minto?

[@user-ci1xe3cb5i]

I have the n1s sport 2021 model, and it does and doesn't work, I did it and it actually slowed my bike down, so I had to do it again and it went back to normal, but I can't speed it up unfortunately, I need a new motherboard for that and plug it in.

[@VespaPortland]

Good luck!

[@anwarlogari3253]

Hallo , I have a problem with eco button , it cannot change from eco to normal ! Any suggestions ?

Take it to your local maintenance shop or dealer to troubleshoot. Or email NIU support directly. Thanks for watching.

will this method work on NQI GTS Sport?

Should!

[@ruthmoreton6975]

I did this sequence on a 2020 NIU NQi-GTS Pro which was able to do 45mph but all it did was restrict the bike to 18mph ( in sport mode ). Is there anything I can do to get this model to go faster than 45mph?

[@VespaPortland]

Not that we know of. But we’ve heard there KZbin vids from Asia about unlocking them to go 60+. Of course your battery consumption is going to go way up by doing that. Good luck.

[@ruthmoreton6975]

@@VespaPortland I don't want to overheat the battery and risk killing it either. I think I shall just leave it as is. I use mine for fast food delivery and some of the sections on the outer edge of the city are 50mph and I frequently feel like I'm being "pushed" by traffic for being restricted at 45mph. I shall keep telling myself "it's their problem".

[@ruthmoreton6975]

oh and thanks for pointing out the middle button. I had never taken notice of it. On the NQI it activates the hazard lights while the ignition is off.

[@VespaPortland]

Good choice! Stay safe out there and thanks for watching.

Hi there. I have a question. I have NIU UQI + sport scooter. In 2nd speed it goes 36km. I want to reduce it speed limit till 31 . Can you please guide me how to do it. I will be waiting for your generous response. Thank you.

[@seanlechkun8773]

Does this work on brand new models (2022)?

[@VespaPortland]

Yes we are still having to do it to every new 29mph NIU we get.

[@mosesvered2537]

I live in NYC I tried to do it but it only reached 25 /km am i doing something wrong? Thx

[@VespaPortland]

Assuming you have a US market NIU, you probably just have the timing of the button presses slightly off. Keep trying. Good luck.

[@hartdr8074]

Is there a way to change the country of the niu to another? I shipped a niu u1 from china and now it doesnt work on the app since the sim inside is different.

[@VespaPortland]

Never heard of this situation before! Your best bet would be to email [e-mail] and give them the VIN of the scooter with an explanation of the problem. They should have an answer for you. Thanks for watching!

[@markveenstra702]

For a Model N1S Civic from 2017 this trick doesnt work it seems.When applied it slows down to half the speed.

[@VespaPortland]

That’s not a model in the US market so sorry we can’t help. There’s probably a KZbin video somewhere about it.

[@alxnlol]

i just boiguht a niu scooter, im ok with the speed but whenever it crosses 15km/hr it beeps and its hella annoying. any idea how to disable ?
