Celebrate the NIU Year with this DIY 2022 calendar

Since all of our NIU Club members made it on our “nice” list this year, we have decided to share a gift with our community: a 2022 NIU Year’s calendar!

(SKIP TO DOWNLOAD NOW)

We assembled this calendar to celebrate important dates in sustainability, mobility, and technology. (We may have included a couple random dates just for fun, too.) These dates are punctuated by beautiful photos taken by NIU content creators (see below for the full list). Each month features either a classic NIU product, such as the NQi GT, or one of our exciting new products, like the MQi GT EVO and RQi!

Special dates on our 2022 calendar

We wanted to make our 2022 NIU Year calendar special, and the dates we chose to highlight in the next year are no exception!

Some dates we chose in honor of sustainability include Energy Efficiency Day and Zero Emissions Day. Although the names might be self-explanatory, these days are important in raising awareness and building a global community dedicated to using less fossil fuel, reducing pollution, and finding greener energy alternatives in daily life that positively impact our environment. We feel passionately about recognizing these days because NIU scooters represent zero emissions, and a cheaper, more efficient way to navigate urban communities.

With our mission to redefine urban mobility, it only makes sense that we shine the spotlight on some key dates related to mobility. One of those dates is the invention of the first locomotive to haul cargo in 1804, which would revolutionize how people and goods are transported for generations to come. Certainly another important development in urban mobility was the creation of the bicycle, which we recognize in our calendar through a number of annual celebrations like Bike Week and Cycle to Work Day.

At NIU, technology and innovation are at the crux of everything we create. This 2022 calendar also celebrates modern innovators like Nikola Tesla, who reimagined the world with new technology. You’ll find his birthday on the calendar, along with NIU’s own birthday, having launched our very first product on June 1, 2015.
