NIU scooters are one of the first electric scooters to make an impact on the two-wheeler market where fossil fuel vehicles are dominating by a very huge margin. The stylish lightweight body and smart features on the NIU scooters made the brand popular here in no time as these scooters are currently one of the best electric scooters available in Nepal.
