Electric scooters are treated the same as petrol machines. So, to ride a 50cc (or equivalent) machine with a maximum speed of 28mph, you either need:

A full driving licence, if you passed your test before 1st February 2001.

Or a full motorbike licence.

Or have completed Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) and have a valid certificate.

To ride a 125cc or above machine (or equivalent) with a maximum speed above 28mph you need:

A full motorcycle licence.

Or a valid CBT certificate.

In a word, yes!

Every model is supplied with a comprehensive 2 year warranty and the battery has a 3 year warranty. They also come with 12 months NIU Assist Roadside Recovery.

Unfortunately, at this moment in time, we are only able to repair the scooters that we sell. ie. KIQ and NIU models. We have spare parts for these models but not others. We do have a couple of places in Hull that we can recommend for repairs. Drop us an email at info@niuhull.co.uk for contact details.

If we have the model you buy in stock we can have it ready for you within 2 days. If we need to order it it may take up to a week, although it is often quicker than this.

We certainly do. As an official NIU premium dealer we only use NIU parts. NIU recommend servicing every 6 months to maintain your warranty. Servicing requirements arem minimal compared to petrol scooters and, therefore, lower cost.
