Looking at the data, 434,687 units in a quarter, up 24%, shows how solid China's electric two-wheeler market really is. From a battery standpoint, scaling up mass production directly cuts costs and becomes a source of competitiveness. Setting emotion aside and going by numbers, NIU's recovery is proof overall market demand has come back. Whether this growth holds in the world's largest electric two-wheeler market is something I want to watch soberly next quarter.

With how fierce the domestic Chinese electric scooter competition is, putting up numbers like this counts as holding your ground.

Does NIU also operate in Japan?

It's a brand mostly focused on Europe and Asia, I don't think its name recognition in Japan is all that high yet.

NIU's been a brand with a lasting presence in electric scooter markets both at home and abroad.

An electric scooter demand recovery is genuinely positive news for the whole industry.

Over 430,000 units, up 24% — NIU's recovery trend is clearly showing up in the numbers.

If last year was a big enough slump, this could just be a rebound, so it's hard to judge from the growth rate alone.
