Today, Mavericks released its third electric vehicle, N1s. It is not so much Mavericks' third electric car as it is an iterative and updated version of the previous N1. It is very similar to the previous N1 in both appearance design and name. Of course, whether it is N1 or N1s, this electric car is fortunate enough to fall into the hands of the editor of Sina Technology.

I know nothing about cars (I haven’t passed subject three yet), so naturally I have a weakness when it comes to electric vehicles. Based on this reason, it would be better to publish an experience report on the Mavericks N1s, at least so that novices like the editor can understand this product in an easy-to-understand manner. (At the end of the article, there is another surprise, hahaha~)

I have some expectations for this product

When I heard that the Mavericks N1s would be reviewed by Sina in the future, I was still full of expectations for it. Why? There are two reasons: First, the Mavericks N1s was released overseas (Europe) last week. The price of 2,699 euros (approximately RMB 19,000) refreshed my impression of electric vehicles. How can an electric vehicle be so expensive? Why does it enter the European market? Speaking of the second and very important point, during the few days of trial, I was able to get away from the crowded and smelly Xierqi subway station. Without further ado, let’s take a look at this Mavericks N1s.

The Mavericks N1s has two versions: urban version and power version, priced at 4,999 yuan and 5,999 yuan respectively. Both electric vehicles can be equipped with extended-range batteries, which can be upgraded from the previous standard 80 kilometers/100 kilometers to 140 kilometers/135 kilometers. This time, I got the Mavericks N1s power version with a standard battery.

Appearance “thick and tough”

After the delivery man moved the N1s to the Sina headquarters building, I was fortunate to be the first "user" in the company to see the real Mavericks N1s. The first impression N1s gave me was that it was thick and solid, so much so that I could feel that it was difficult to move the car even one step using only my own "prehistoric strength". In the subsequent practice, I found that I was right!

First, let’s take a look at the front control area. N1s has a relatively “explicit” front design with centralized control.Except for the instrument panel, the brakes and wires associated with it are all exposed. Although the N1s is waterproof, it still makes me uncomfortable to look at. The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom. Maybe people with obsessive-compulsive disorder like the editor must organize everything in an orderly manner. On the contrary, rough and tough guys will like the current front design of N1s. (Friends, N1s is reminded that the hood and rearview mirror are not installed by default at the factory, and users need to install them by themselves.)

The left side of the handlebar is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. The upper part is to turn on the high beam and alternately flash the lights; the middle part is to switch the turn signal; the bottom part is the whistle button and cruise button. It is worth mentioning that when turning on the turn signal switch, there is no need to push the button back and the turn signal can be returned to the straight position with just one press.

Similarly, the right side is also composed of upper, middle and lower parts. The top part is the gear switching key, which is divided into 3 gears; the middle part is the headlight control area, which can use automatic mode and manual adjustment mode; the bottom part is the double flash button and the start button.

The instrument panel in the middle of the front of the car mainly displays the battery capacity, gear position and current speed, and the upper part mainly displays the indicator lights. Since these indicator lights are not displayed in real time, it is more convenient to find a picture here.

The cabin of Maverick N1s left a deep impression on me. Usually the capacity of the passenger compartment of an electric vehicle is not too large, and it will be overflowing if you put some clothes and gloves on it. Since the N1s integrates the battery into the pedal, it leaves a lot of space in the passenger compartment, which is as big as 20L. Basically when you get off work, you can just put your backpack in the passenger compartment and go. You can even put an extended-range battery in the passenger compartment, so you have a "small electric motor" of 240 kilometers.

I just talked about batteries. The battery located under the bottom pedal of the electric vehicle has a capacity of 20.4 million watts and 170 lithium cells. The cover (i.e. pedal) and the bottom of the electric vehicle are covered with plastic material. However, when the pedal is closed, the connection is not tight. Maybe the electric vehicle I got is an engineering prototype. But this worries me, if it’s a rainy day, will the calf still be waterproof?

Experience Mavericks N1s

After briefly introducing the appearance of N1s, let’s talk about the experience of two days of test riding. You must know that before I moved to Sina, the editor had always maintained a work rhythm of "leave out late and return early" due to the unique geographical location. However, after Sina moved to the "new Silicon Valley hinterland", everything disappeared, and the distance suddenly increased to more than 10KM, so the Mavericks N1s helped me a lot. After fully charging it, let’s go!

N1s and the previous Maverick electric car have a speed limit of 20 mph. As a newbie in this area, I didn’t know it at first, so when I got this electric car on the first day and wanted to ride home with great excitement, I was poured a lot of cold water on it. I walked nearly 19 kilometers at a speed of 20 miles, and it took me an hour and a half to get home.

Fortunately, after returning home, I cracked the Maverick electric car by studying online tutorials. The editor was so excited that I couldn't express it in words, so I took it with me and went to the Forest Park again.

The editor's home is not far from Osun, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive at an average speed of 35 miles. This is much faster than 20 miles. It also stayed between 35-40 on the way back. It is said that the top speed of Mavericks N1s can reach 50 miles per hour, but I dare not try it. After all, it is indeed unsafe for an electric vehicle to drive at such a high speed without wearing protective equipment.

Since the editor had to go to work the next day, my playful parents took over the “test drive” and marched for nearly 14 kilometers. The combined mileage is about 50 kilometers. There was no charging during this period. According to the "Niu Guanjia" App, there is still 47% of the battery and 25 kilometers of driving left. The power of N1s is really low!

Talk about your overall experience of riding a calf electric

N1s, who looks thick and sturdy at first glance, is as careful as a girl. The first thing I want to talk about is the most beautiful headlight of Maverick Electric. This headlight is for safety protection and will not turn off, even in strong light environments. But the meaning of its existence is obvious when it comes to dark places. You no longer need to find the key to turn on the light button. According to the intelligent lighting system that comes with N1s, the brightness will be automatically adjusted according to the surrounding environment.

In addition, other electric vehicles do not have the built-in high beam when driving at night. After turning on the high beam, the illumination distance is further, the surrounding area is brighter and the viewing angle is wider.

The second one is the indicator light. N1s is not only equipped with left and right turn signals, but also emergency lights that are common in cars but rare in electric vehicles. While driving, turning on the turn signal will automatically turn off the turn signal after the electric vehicle turns. This is the same experience as in a car.

The third vehicle positioning. Each N1s will have a separate ID. After downloading and binding "Maverick Butler", you will feel like you own the whole world. No matter where your N1s is, as long as it still has some power left, you will know where it is even after locking the car. This is not an unnecessary function. You must know that when you live in the imperial capital, even if you don't lose anything, you will lose more than one or two bicycles and electric vehicles. The GPS positioning function can basically be accurate to the road position, including positioning in the direction of the road. This feature is indeed very useful.

The fourth is to prevent misuse. Every Maverick electric vehicle is equipped with a start button. When you turn on the electric vehicle, it does not start directly. Instead, you must first obtain the consent of the "start button" before driving. On the N1s, there is a sensor on the body bracket. When the bracket is supported, the driving is automatically turned off, and when the bracket is lifted, the driving is automatically turned on.

No one is perfect, and no car is perfect. I just talked about the advantages, now let’s talk about the disadvantages. The Mavericks N1s is still not equipped with a reverse gear this time, which is really not a good thing for an electric car that is as heavy as Mount Tai. It is difficult to reverse the car out of the warehouse, and sometimes you have to use all your strength to move just a little distance. If you are a girl who pursues speed, you might as well consider M1, which is compact and light.

Finally, let’s talk about the price

Although this electric car has good functions, it is not cheap. The lowest version is priced at 5,000 yuan, not to mention the 10,000 yuan level in the European market. Some people may ask, is this electric car worth it? I think you need to make two points clear. First, do you regard an electric car as a necessity? Second, whether your salary can afford it.

If you think that you have integrated with an electric car and become an inseparable part of your daily life, then the Maverick N1s is very suitable for you. At least its appearance makes your travel safer, and its long battery life reduces the number of charging times. Second, consider your salary, but this is based on the first point. If you use electric vehicles frequently, what else are you thinking about! Even after eating steamed buns for two months, I must have it!

One More Thing…

Oh, by the way, I mentioned a little surprise at the beginning of the article. What is it? The answer is: my mother! Hahaha, after two nights of riding (me in the afternoon and her in the evening), my mother has fallen deeply in love with this electric bike. Since she has touched countless electric vehicles, I conducted an exclusive interview with her. The following is the transcript:

Me: What is the difference between Mavericks and other electric vehicles?

Mom: Although Mavericks (N1s) looks stupid, it is very light to drive, especially when accelerating and accelerating. One is that there is no battery noise, and the other is that it accelerates very quickly. Another point is that the handlebars of Mavericks are flexible and are the most comfortable handlebars I have ever ridden on an electric bike.

Me: Do you think N1s look good?

Mom: What is N1s? (Me: The inner calf electric bike you ride), oh, it didn’t amaze me at first glance, but it is attractive. The more I looked at it, the more pleasing it was to my eyes. In the end, I fell in love with it.

Me: What do you think of the N1s experience?

Mom: The experience is really good. The most impressive thing is the headlights in the front. The ambient brightness determines the brightness of the lights. There is no need to find a button to turn them on.

Me: How much do you think this electric car is worth?

Mom: This car must be more than 3,000 yuan.

Me: Mom, this is 5,999 yuan.

Mom: Then let’s return it tomorrow. A car costs 6,000 yuan, which is not worth it to me!

Me: A black line on my face. . .. . . (What about the love you promised for Mavericks N1s?)
