NIU Scooter Speed Unlock – How to Unlock Higher Speeds

Want to increase the performance of your NIU scooter? This NIU scooter speed unlock guide explains how to increase top speed and acceleration using a controller upgrade.

NIU Scooter Speed Unlock: Motherboard Upgrade Guide

If you’re looking for an effective NIU scooter speed unlock, upgrading the controller is the easiest method. Our high-performance NIU motherboards support a larger ampere capacity and are fully programmable, allowing you to fine-tune:

  • Top speed settings
  • Acceleration levels
  • Optional third ride mode (for compatible models like UQI and M+)

Compatible with popular models such as the NIU NQIX, N1S, M+, and UQI GT, our NIU scooter speed unlock provides a smoother, faster ride for both everyday commuting and enthusiasts.

How does the NIU controller upgrade work?

NIU scooters are factory-limited and its capability is capped. The controller is basically the brain of the scooter, it regulates how much ampere is taken from the battery being output into the motor. By upgrading your controller you are allowing for more power from the battery into the motor.

Upgrading Battery for NIU scooters

If this performance is not enough for you, you can upgrade to our 72V batteries. Not only will you increase the range as we are able to deliver 72V 120A and 150A batteries but due to their upgraded BMS it will also allow for more power. A larger voltage will allow for more power when compared to lower voltage batteries. Our 120A and 150A are able to provide 250 and 300Km of range on a single charge.

Upgrading Motor for NIU scooters

Finally you can also upgrade the motor of your NIU scooter this will allow for much greater performance. The motors we provide are Watt tile motors indicated as WP rather than just watt. These will use more magnets and copper wiring in production allow for greater power and resistance to overheating. 

 

Installation instructions

1. Disconnect the battery and then open the trunk.

2. Unscrew the four screws from the trunk and take out the trunk. You can remove the trunk by disconnecting it or balancing it on the scooter. Now you will see your scooter motherboard.

3. Disconnect the motherboard power cable and then remove the screws and cables from the motherboard.

4. Replace the old motherboard with the new motherboard and screw the new motherboard into the scooter. 4 might not fit, but 2 screws are sufficient.

5. Screw the 5 coloured cables back into the motherboard and make sure the screws are tight.

6. Take the two headed cable and stick the side with the black USB head into the new bought motherboard. Then you take the other side of the two headed cable and stick it into the KZQ side.

7. Then insert the power cable of the scooter into the black box on the “CAR” side 

If you are unsure about the installation, please contact our customer service. Do not install the motherboard by yourself without instructions as it will harm the motherboard and scooter. We are not responsible for reckless use

N1: For the N1 the instructions are the same except there is an extra 6 pin HALL plug on the original motherboard.

  1. Open our provided 2 headed cable and insert the 6 pin cable into the adapter. 

Trouble Shooting

Be careful with an electric screwdriver that you don’t damage the screws, if this happens it is possible that you cannot remove the screw anymore. 

  • The two headed cable is installed wrongly, reinstall the motherboard again according to the instructions
  • The two headed cable has come loose after you put back the seat.

The parameters for you scooter are incorrect, message customer service so that we can get you the correct programming software.

The voltage inside the parameters of your motherboard is incorrect lets say you have a 48V M+ scooter, but the settings are for a 60V N1S.
