Established in 2014, Niu is working with guides on the potential IPO. Niu is planning about posting partakes in the U.S. this year. Arrangements for the deal are at a beginning stage, and subtle elements could change.

Niu is planning on raising assets as it tries to expand its battery-controlled bikes business beyond its Chinese home market.

Pinduoduo Inc., a Chinese online business firm is looking for as much as $1.6 billion in U.S. initial public offering this week.
