NIU has just revealed the FQiX 150, a compact electric scooter designed for dense urban environments. It’s part of the company’s new FQiX lineup, a fresh design direction that leans heavily into smart technology, removable batteries, and safety features you normally wouldn’t expect to see on a small city runabout.
Like most made-in-China anything, the FQiX 150 wants to stand out in terms of tech, and it does this by adding a rear radar system that helps you avoid rear-end collisions. Yes, a rear radar system on a scooter. What a world we live in.
Radar is usually the kind of hardware you see on big touring motorcycles or premium sportbikes. The stuff that powers blind spot detection and adaptive cruise control. The FQiX 150 obviously isn’t that kind of machine. It’s a small electric commuter with a top speed of about 28 miles per hour. Yet NIU still decided to install a radar sensor that monitors traffic approaching from behind and alerts the rider if something’s closing in.
