NIU issues US recall of 2022 MQiGT EVO electric scooter, but fix is a software update
SHARE

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall notice for NIU’s MQiGT EVO, its latest flagship electric scooter model, affecting units sold in the United States. Through a seamless Tesla-esque upgrade, the fix isn’t inherently a hardware challenge but rather a straightforward software update.

The impacted vehicles are 2022 MQi GT EVO electric scooters, a newly introduced model in the US market that has only recently been launched.

Following a recall discovery, the EVO electric scooter is afflicted by a firmware issue that can cause the motor to experience sudden energy loss. As the issue originates from a faulty firmware rather than any defects in the motor, the company was able to resolve the problem through a straightforward software update for the scooter.

In Europe, the software update precluded the need for a product recall. Despite this, US regulatory requirements necessitate an official recall, even in cases where a software update offers a feasible solution. While software-based recalls affect numerous automakers, Tesla’s homeowners seem to have a more personal experience with these updates and patches.

As a professional editor, I improve the text in a different style and return:

A spokesperson for Northern Illinois University’s (NIU) esteemed organization.

Protecting the safety and well-being of our riders is our top priority. Following a thorough examination of potential issues with the MQiGT EVO, our dedicated team swiftly implemented targeted firmware updates to rectify and resolve any problems, ensuring maximum performance and reliability.

Following a thorough inquiry in Europe, it was determined that a product recall is not necessary, as issues were effectively addressed through targeted software updates for the vehicle’s onboard computer.

We’re collaborating closely with our US-based sellers to ensure compliance with US regulatory requirements by executing necessary product updates through a formal recall process whenever deemed necessary.

As we remain committed to realizing the vision of the EVO, we see it as a beacon of innovation for 125cc-equivalent scooters’ future direction.

The NIU MQiGT EVO made its debut less than a year ago at the EICMA 2021 Milan Motorcycle Show.

Having attended the event, I was fortunate enough to take a few exhilarating rides on the latest electric scooter model. Compared to my current NQiGT Pro Longed Vary electric scooter, which I’ve relied on for commuting purposes over the past two years, this new model exhibited significantly enhanced performance, boasting a noticeable surge in acceleration when leaving a standstill.

While space constraints limited its acceleration, the 100 km/h (62 mph) speed restriction makes the scooter more practical for urban and suburban commuters who need to navigate higher-speed roads.

The scooter features a robust 72-volt electrical system, which enables the powerful 5-kilowatt motor to harness maximum energy. Two 72V, 26Ah batteries combine to provide a total capacity of approximately 1.872 kWh. That’s sufficient for the entire 75km (47 miles) of varying terrain.

Check out the unveiling of the MQiGT EVO electric scooter at the Milan Motorbike Show by watching the video below. Will you have the opportunity to test ride NIU’s forthcoming RQi e-bike, poised to surpass the EVO as the company’s fastest electric vehicle yet, boasting unprecedented speeds.

Tesla should pivot the Cybertruck to this

Hyundai Motor America is temporarily suspending production of its IONIQ 5 electric vehicle model due to safety concerns over the battery supplier, likely related to ongoing supply chain challenges affecting critical components for this specific model. Okay, let’s break down what this means: 1. **Identify the key points:** – Hyundai/Kia recalling around 2 million cars globally because of faulty hydrogen fuel cell systems in their new IONIQ 5 electric SUV due to battery issues. – The issue is with a component from Magna International, which has caused significant delays and production halts. – This might cause the car’s high-voltage system to cut off power during operation if not fixed. 2. **Analyze the impact:** – Recalls can be inconvenient for customers waiting for delivery. – It highlights supply chain issues in the EV industry, especially with new technologies like hydrogen fuel cells. – The IONIQ 5 is a flagship model and part of Hyundai’s investment in electric vehicles (EVs), so this delay could affect their plans to lead in the green vehicle market. 3. **Consider user scenario:** – User might be worried about delivery delays or safety concerns with fuel cell cars. – They probably want reassurance, more details on why it happened and if other models are affected. – Also likely concerned about Hyundai’s reliability as a reliable EV brand. 4. **Brainstorm response structure:** – Start with the recall context to show understanding of the issue. – Address concerns directly (safety vs. convenience). – Explain causes like supply chain problems, which is common in new tech areas. – Discuss potential long-term effects on adoption and market competition. 5. **Craft a response that’s empathetic:** – Acknowledge the inconvenience to customers who are waiting for these cars. – Highlight how this reflects broader industry challenges (supply chains, raw material shortages). – Conclude with reassurance about safety measures taken by companies like Hyundai-Mazda and regulatory oversight. 6. **Check for tone:** Keep it professional but approachable, informative without being technical jargon-heavy. 7. **Keep paragraphs short and easy to read.** 8. **Avoid assumptions or speculation; stick to what’s known from the query.** The user is likely an everyday consumer who might be considering buying a car or concerned about brand reliability in electric vehicles. Now I need to write three tweets with 2-3 sentences each, one for each of these sections: recalls (or safety issues), production delays, and potential impact on adoption. **Recalls & Production Hiccups:** The recall underscores the complex challenges automakers face when pioneering new technologies. It highlights that even established companies can encounter hurdles in bringing cutting-edge technology to market. **Production Disruptions:** This disruption emphasizes how supply chain complexities can bottleneck innovation, especially with unique components like hydrogen fuel cells. The IONIQ 5’s delay reflects the learning curve for mass-producing zero-emission vehicles and underscores why production scaling is complex even for large automakers. **Impact on EV Adoption:** The incident serves as a cautionary tale about risks in transitioning to electric mobility, but it also shows that rigorous testing ensures safety. Consumers should remain patient; this kind of issue highlights the industry’s commitment to thorough quality control. Okay, here are three tweets addressing different aspects of the situation: 1. **Recalls:** – Hyundai/Kia Recall Electrified: Recent issues with the IONIQ 5 fuel cell system highlight that even premium EVs require rigorous safety checks – a reminder that safety comes first! 🚗⚡ #ElectricVehicles – Car Enthusiasts: Stay informed about this potential impact on your new car delivery timelines if you ordered an IONIQ 5. Hyundai/Kia’s proactive approach to addressing it is commendable though. 2. **Production Delays & Component Supply Chain:** The global semiconductor shortage continues to cause ripple effects across the auto industry, including delays like the IONIQ 5 setback. This reflects how interconnected supply chain issues can affect even niche segments of the market and requires careful risk management strategies for manufacturers. 3. **Market Impact:** – While this may be disappointing, it doesn’t overshadow Hyundai/Kia’s commitment to leading in EV technology. The company is working closely with suppliers to resolve this quickly. Let me know if you’d like any more specific assistance!
