For those who have been crowded with buses and subways for a long time, electric vehicles have become the first choice of transportation tools at present. Especially in this city, although there is no motorcycle ban like in big cities, the first consideration when choosing transportation tools is of course electric vehicles, which are convenient and environmentally friendly. For an old Hu who has been using electric vehicles for a long time, he often considers that the battery life is the second most important thing. He also has a car in use. To my dissatisfaction, the battery life has declined significantly in less than a year. He has to charge the car after driving less than 30km, which has created a lack of good feelings for electric vehicles. Last year, a Xiaoniu N1 was released by Niudian Technology, which attracted me only in terms of its endurance and intelligent control. Although I was not lucky to experience the first such electric vehicle at that time, I was lucky to experience the new Xiaoniu M1 released this year, which gave me a thorough understanding of how different this electric vehicle is from the past.

The Maverick M1 has the choice of youth version, urban version, power version and top version, and five popular colors of white, red, yellow, black and blue are also provided in the color. This time, Lao Hu experienced that the white Maverick M1 urban version is much smaller than the Maverick N1. Because of the small seats, it is estimated that two adults will be very crowded. One adult plus one child would be just fine. The most important thing is that the Mavericks have adopted the high-performance Panasonic/LG/Samsung imported 18650 power cell. The official said that the endurance of the urban version is 80km. With the expected intelligent control, will it really bring a different riding experience?

I believe that when you buy such large products, you often first consider the logistics and after-sales problems. Seeing their packaging methods before Lao Hu receives them is enough to believe that you can rest assured in the transportation process. With the fixation of cartons and wooden frames, you can see no damage after unpacking, In terms of logistics, we chose RRS and SF Express to cooperate. My delivery is RRS Logistics, which not only provides good service, but also completes the unpacking. In addition, we also help you to install the rearview mirror and the front bumper. I would like to give 100 personal praise to this logistics.

Appearance details of Xiaoniu M1 electric car

At the first sight, I felt that the Xiaoniu M1 was very mini, which was much smaller than the Xiaoniu N1. However, the overall appearance design of the electric car was very fashionable, and it also attracted the attention of passers-by when Lao Hu was driving. It can be seen that the appearance of this Xiaoniu electric car is very high. The length of 1640mm plus the weight of 57kg is enough to know that this electric vehicle is very compact, and I feel it is very suitable for women or office workers.

Silicon based LED wick is used on the front headlight, which is very bright when riding at night to illuminate the road ahead. The advantage of this kind of wick is that the brightness is still strong under the condition of low energy consumption, and it will not be dazzling when illuminating. In addition, the function of automatically turning on the headlight can be said that the design and consideration of the lamp are very considerate.

One of the highlights of Maverick M1 is the design of a full view LCD dashboard, which clearly shows the current power, kilometers, speed and time. The top row of small icons shows the riding mode, including the current time ECO energy-saving mode, brake charging, cruise control, automatic headlights, etc. are still clearly visible even in strong sunlight, and have IP65 dust-proof and waterproof technology, which can cope with the current weather without being damaged.

On the left side of the calf M1 is the layout of function keys, including the far/near lights, left and right direction lights, whistling and cruise control. The overall layout of keys is quite reasonable. In addition, the constant speed cruise function, which is rarely seen in other electric vehicles, is particularly suitable for running a little farther. Just press it to start the automatic mode. Without the need for the fuel filler, we can walk at a speed of 20km/h, and only twist the accelerator or brake to release it. This function brings us a more convenient way to ride.

On the right side are gear shift, automatic headlight on/off, two-way warning light and start button. In addition to turning on the switch, you can also press the start button to ride. This function is especially suitable for the bear child twisting the accelerator. In this regard, safety considerations are very considerate. The urban version provides a choice of second gear. By default, the first gear is 10km/h, and the second gear is 20km/h, which can be cracked to achieve higher speed. Personally, the speed of 20km/h in the second gear is enough for our daily riding speed requirements. There is no need to choose not to crack, but to bring us safer riding.

The left and right rear-view mirrors need to be assembled by yourself, and the matching tools can be turned on by yourself. The visual field can be adjusted by turning the rear-view mirror. What is commendable is that the visual field display is very large, which is similar to the car rear-view mirrors we usually see. They are all rectangular in design.

Earlier, we saw the matching two-way USB interface in the Maverick N1, but this time the Maverick M1 still continues such a small design, which can mainly facilitate our emergency use of charging equipment, but the slightly dissatisfied thing is that there is no place to put the equipment, so we can only choose to purchase an additional support. The switch provided has four gears, starting, opening the rear compartment, locking and closing, and only needs to be turned to the corresponding position by inserting the key.

The rear is an integrated tail light design, which is especially bright at night, and can also be clearly seen in the daytime. It can effectively inform the vehicles behind, and the safety is also taken into consideration. It was also said in front of the seat that when one person was just ready, two people were slightly crowded, but the space left in the middle of the pedal position was quite large. For Mom who wanted to pick up children, she just bought a car chair, which was enough space.

It is known that the braking system of Xiaoniu M1 is equipped with front disc brake and rear drum brake. I believe many people do not understand such a configuration, including myself. Through searching, I learned that the advantages of disc brake are fast braking and good heat dissipation. The advantages of rear drum brake are good tightness. Most of these configurations are used in off-road vehicles, Especially on the gravel road, the front disc brake can shake off the gravel even if there is sand, and the rear wheel can not rotate in the direction. This is the advantage of the front disc brake and the rear drum brake. I believe that after reading it, we will probably understand the purpose of the use.

In terms of matching accessories, a pair of left and right rear-view mirrors, a front bezel, two keys and two wireless controllers were provided, and a wrench and other tools were also given away. The wireless controller can lock and unlock the car. The red button in the middle is a one key car search button. Just press it, the whistle will automatically sound and the lights in front and behind will flash, which is convenient for us to find our own car. However, the alarm sound is a little low.

For the electric vehicle, Mr. Hu attaches the most importance to the battery, while the Xiaoniu M1 adopts the car grade lithium battery pack design, and the urban version uses the high-performance Panasonic/LG/Samsung imported 18650 power cell, with an overall weight of about 7.8kg. The added handle is particularly convenient for those who live in residential areas to directly carry it to charge, The charging process also has LED lights showing the current charging capacity. The official also said that a complete charging scheme is adopted in charging, which can be fully charged in only three hours. Compared with the old charger at home, it must take more than seven or eight hours. This fast charging method is also very convenient for travel charging.

Next, let's talk about the performance of endurance. The battery has a capacity of 20Ah. The official said that the endurance can reach about 80km. In personal measurement, it is only about 50km-55km. Every 1km consumes 2% of the power. Of course, the driving process includes daytime and night. After all, the front and rear lights have to be turned on at night, which increases the power consumption, There is some relationship between driving habits and so on. However, Lao Hu is very satisfied with such a long life. The old electric car at home is charged almost every day, while the Xiaoniu M1 is charged every three days. In contrast, it really makes a big difference.

Display of Xiaoniu M1 electric vehicle lighting system

The calf M1 has left and right direction lights, which can be turned into the corner by pressing the key. It is worth saying that it has the automatic reset function, and the turn light will automatically turn off when going out of the corner without manually turning off. It is very user-friendly in this regard.

The front headlight is also one of the characteristics of Xiaoniu M1. In addition to the light in the middle, the circle next to it is a daytime light. With the automatic induction design, the headlight will automatically turn on at night. Of course, it can also be turned on manually. Personally, automatic induction is more convenient.

The tail lamp is a semi enclosed design. When the automatic induction headlamp is turned on, the tail lamp is also automatically turned on at night. Even when braking in the daytime, the tail lamp is still clearly visible, which can not only remind the vehicles behind, but also ensure safety.

Xiaoniu M1 electric vehicle intelligent system experience

In addition to the attractive appearance of the battery, the Xiaoniu M1 certainly has an intelligent system, which is different from other electric vehicles. By downloading the matching client, you can always learn about the car condition information of the Xiaoniu M1, including some functions such as vehicle location, power consumption and estimated mileage, Next, let's see what experience the client can bring us.

The first step, of course, is registration. After completion, the SN code must be bound. The QR code of the SN code can be seen on the top of the accessory box. You can directly bind it to browse the vehicle condition information by scanning.

The main interface displays the current power and estimated mileage, so that we can determine whether the current power is enough for us to move forward through the planned journey. The following is the location display of the positioning vehicle. The central control system integrates the GPS module and the Internet access module. By starting the switch, it will automatically send the positioning information to our client, where you can view the location information of the vehicle at any time. By clicking Open, you can also see our driving history, and record the mileage, time and average speed of the day in detail, To learn about driving habits.

The after-sales service is also very good. At present, only 299 yuan can be spent to buy Niuyou Bao to enjoy the whole vehicle theft and robbery compensation, personal accident protection and third party liability protection, which is a kind of protection that is rarely seen in electric vehicles at present. Through the service center, you can also select some after-sales consultation, repair and other services. After entering the vehicle management, we can also view the vehicle information in detail, including SN code, frame number, motor number, etc. It can be said that the functions on the client are very sufficient, which also makes the original electric vehicle so intelligent.

Next, let's talk about the problem of speed limit cracking that everyone is concerned about. Before the crack was solved, the default speed of the Xiaoniu M1 was 10km/h in the first gear and 20km/h in the second gear. Generally speaking, the speed of the second gear is enough for our daily travel, but sometimes we need to speed up, so we have to choose speed limit cracking. After searching online, we found a very convenient cracking method, Thanks to Vitas for bringing such an easy way, it only takes 10 seconds to crack.

1: Press and hold the start button, hold the brake handle, turn on the electric key and hold it for 3 seconds

2: Release at the same time, and then press and hold the start button for 5 seconds

3: Release the start button and pinch the brake handle

4: If the speed limit is successfully broken, the previous 20km/h can also be recovered in this way

Although other cracking methods have been seen on the Internet, this method is the simplest and fastest. It doesn't need to be complicated. It only needs a few simple steps to complete.

After several days of experience, I am relatively satisfied with the Maverick M1. I can basically earn an objective return rate even if I ride it out, just because of its appearance design. However, what I'm not satisfied with is that the seat is still small. For example, my 176 stature plus 70kg weight can only seat one person, and two people will be crowded. Later, I will consider adding tailstock or backrest extension as well as the safety of two people.

In the test of climbing, just use the cracked first gear, and the speed is 20km/h, you can easily ride on such a slope. Corresponding to the general riding environment, you don't need to worry about performance problems, which can be basically met by Mavericks.

The Maverick M1 has a compact body. For office workers, the endurance is enough for daily riding. If you want to travel long distances, you can choose the power version. The constant speed cruise is especially suitable for straight riding. It does not need to twist the throttle handle. The slightly higher chassis can cope with the higher threshold and will not be damaged due to collision. It can be said that the Xiaoniu M1 is superior to similar electric vehicles in configuration and intelligent control. Not satisfied with the fact that the seat is too small and the seat bucket has little room for batteries. I had to choose a boot to place other items. What is particularly commendable is the official after-sales service "butter insurance", and the commitment to lose one car and compensate one car, which is a guarantee service rarely seen in electric vehicles at present. The introduction of Xiaoniu Electric Vehicle has changed the simple riding tools in the past. In addition, intelligent control has also promoted the innovation of the electric vehicle industry.
