NIU BQi-C3 Pro Electric Bike Review

Title: "Experience the Power and Range of the NIU BQi-C3 Pro Dual Battery Bike"

The NIU BQi-C3 Pro is a long-range e-bike that packs a punch. With dual battery capability, this bike can go further than any other e-bike in its class. The BQi-C3 Pro is equipped with a 500-watt brushless motor that can reach a top speed of 27 miles per hour, making it ideal for commuters who want a fast and efficient ride.

The bike is designed with a Cadence Sensor that measures the rider's pedaling speed, which determines the bike's speed. When casually pedaling, the bike can do all the work and take the rider up to a top speed of 26 miles per hour. Pedaling faster will not result in any resistance and will allow the bike to reach a top speed of 27 miles per hour. The bike is also equipped with a thumb throttle on the right side of the handlebars that can reach a top speed of 20 miles per hour.

The bike's weight ratio is 70 pounds, which may seem heavy, but it is still relatively lightweight for an e-bike. The motor produces 45 newton meters of torque, making it possible to climb hills with ease. However, the single belt drive system makes it a little difficult to pedal uphill, and the motor will need assistance from the rider. The bike can handle hills up to a 7-8% grade.

The BQi-C3 Pro has mechanical brakes that are surprisingly effective, with no pulsating or grinding. The stopping distance from 20 miles per hour is only 25 feet, which is impressive. However, hard braking will require a lot of pressure on the levers, which may be a downside for some riders.

The BQi-C3 Pro has a rider size rating of 5'3" up to 6'1" and can carry riders up to 278 pounds. The handlebars can be adjusted to create a more aggressive riding stance for commuters. The bike's geometry is perfect for anyone looking for a long-range e-bike that can handle any terrain.

The BQi-C3 Pro has a dual battery capability that allows the bike to go up to 35 miles on a single charge. The bike has an average speed of 22 miles per hour and can reach speeds of up to 27 miles per hour. The bike's power and range are impressive and make it a great choice for anyone looking for an efficient and fast e-bike.

In conclusion, the NIU BQi-C3 Pro is an impressive e-bike that offers power, speed, and range. The bike is perfect for anyone looking for a long-range e-bike that can handle any terrain. The bike's dual battery capability, Cadence Sensor, and thumb throttle make it an efficient and fast ride. If you're in the market for a new e-bike, the NIU BQi-C3 Pro is definitely worth checking out.
