The OBDSTAR EM001 is an 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 diagnostic socket on the moped; 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 connector. The cable provides access to both the battery diagnostic port and the vehicle diagnostic socket, making data from the battery management system (BMS) available alongside standard diagnostic information. The cable unlocks the moped's diagnostic socket; what you retrieve from it depends on your own device's software. The source lists the NIU U-series and M-series as supported ranges, without specifying model years.

KEY FEATURES

✔Access to BMS data — the cable connects directly to the battery diagnostic port, allowing battery status and cell data to be read.
✔Two NIU series with one cable — both the U-series and M-series connect via the same 5-pin socket.
✔Standard 16-pin connector side — the device side is a common J1962 connector, so a device with 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 extended applications.

LIMITATIONS

✕Converter required for 4-inch devices — for the MotoMaster, an RS232/RS485 connector must first be placed between cable and device; on 5-inch and 7-inch devices such as the MS50 and MS70, you connect directly.
✕Converter not included — the RS232/RS485 connector is not supplied and must be purchased separately for those combinations.
✕OBDSTAR equipment only — the cable is an OBDSTAR accessory and is not intended for diagnostic systems from other manufacturers.
✕Does not add vehicle coverage — which NIU models and functions are actually supported is determined by your own device's software.

Applications and functionality

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

Control units you can access

  • 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 the moped for fault code reading and system diagnostics.

What you can do

  • Read BMS data: Query the battery pack status and cell information.
  • Read fault codes: Retrieve stored diagnostic trouble codes from the moped for system diagnostics.
  • Access special functions: Perform information queries and specific functions via the vehicle's diagnostic socket.
  • Connect additional adapters: Use the cable as a standard OBD connection towards, for example, an RS232/RS485 converter.
  • Please note: Available data and functions vary by model and OBDSTAR device.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The 5-pin NIU connector is the determining factor, not the model. The source lists the U-series and M-series as supported ranges and does not specify production years; therefore, check the connector on the 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 such as the MS50 and MS70, you connect the EM001 directly; on a 4-inch device such as the MotoMaster, an RS232/RS485 connector must be placed in between first. Check before ordering which screen size your device has and whether you still need that converter.
