The OBDSTAR EM001 is the adapter cable for the 5-pin OBD connector on NIU mopeds. It converts that connector to a standard 16-pin OBD2 connector (J1962). The 5-pin side connects to the moped's diagnostic port; the 16-pin side connects to your diagnostic device or to an intermediate RS232/RS485 converter.

NIU uses a proprietary 5-pin diagnostic connector on its electric two-wheelers instead of the automotive OBD2 standard. The cable connects to both the battery diagnostic port and the vehicle diagnostic connector, making data from the battery management system (BMS) available alongside regular diagnostic information.

The cable unlocks the moped's diagnostic socket; what you can read from it depends on your device's software. The manufacturer lists the NIU U-series and M-series as supported models, without specifying production years.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Access to BMS data — the cable connects directly to the battery diagnostic port, allowing you to read battery status and cell information.
✔Two NIU series with one cable — both the U-series and M-series use the same 5-pin connector.
✔Standard 16-pin device-side connector — the device end features a common J1962 connector, so any tool with a standard OBD2 input can connect directly.
✔Compatible with a converter — the cable can be used as a standard OBD connection to an RS232/RS485 converter for more advanced applications.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕A converter is needed for 4-inch devices — the MotoMaster requires an RS232/RS485 connector between the cable and device; on 5-inch and 7-inch units like the MS50 and MS70, you can connect directly.
✕The converter is not included — the RS232/RS485 connector is not supplied and must be purchased separately for those combinations.
✕OBDSTAR equipment only — this cable is an OBDSTAR accessory and is not designed for diagnostic systems from other manufacturers.
✕Does not add vehicle coverage — which NIU models and functions are actually supported depends on your device's software.

Applications and capabilities

Through this connection, you can access the diagnostic socket and battery side of the moped.

Control units you can reach

  • Battery management system (BMS): accessible via direct connection to the battery diagnostic port, for battery status and cell data.
  • Vehicle diagnostic connector: the standard diagnostic socket on your electric moped for fault code reading and system diagnostics.

What you can do

  • Read BMS data: check the battery pack status and individual cell information.
  • Read fault codes: retrieve stored diagnostic trouble codes from your electric moped for system diagnostics.
  • Access special functions: perform information queries and execute specific functions through your vehicle's diagnostic socket.
  • Connect additional adapters: use the cable as a standard OBD connection to connect devices like an RS232/RS485 converter.
  • Important note: available data and functions vary depending on the model and your OBDSTAR device.

Compatible vehicles and applications

What matters is the 5-pin NIU connector, not the model. The source lists the U-series and M-series as supported ranges without specifying model years; check the connector on your electric moped itself.

NIU:

  • U-series: models with 5-pin OBD connector.
  • M-series: models with 5-pin OBD connector.
💡
Good to know: On 5-inch and 7-inch devices like the MS50 and MS70, you can connect the EM001 directly; on a 4-inch device like the MotoMaster, you'll need an RS232/RS485 converter in between first.Before ordering, verify your device's screen size and whether you still need that converter.
