Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Official UK version

Product Information

The 250W motor on the 1S is almost completely silent; so silent in fact that I had to use the bell on more than a few occasions because pedestrians couldn’t hear me approach even when I was less than two feet behind them. The pneumatic tyres provide great grip on every road surface, but you will notice slight jarring if the terrain gets rough. A fake scooter may work reasonably well but it is unlikely to have been built to the same standards as a real Xiaomi. Added to this, Li-ion batteries can be dangerous and you would not want to be riding or charging a scooter with a possibly unsafe battery component. Xiaomi, on the other hand, is a reputable company that has recalled scooters when a safety issue has been discovered. If you switch on the scooter for the first time, you will hear it beep and see lights flashing on the display. By connecting to the scooter via the Mi Home app , you can register and activate the 1S. Here, you will also be shown an instructional video on how to use the vehicle safely. After completing these steps, you are ready to hit the road. The scooter’s 120mm disc brakes do a good job of bringing you to a halt without lurching you forward, too, unlike the electric brakes on some of the other e-scooters. There are online tutorials on how to adjust your brake callipers using the Allen key if you feel they’re too loose or tight. The M365 also has regenerative braking, which puts the motor in reverse when you press the brake throttle, thereby conserving some of your power as you come to a halt.

When the Chinese electronics company announced the Xiaomi 1S earlier this year, many were curious as to what changes the new version would bring. Thankfully, the new e-scooter retains most of the features of the popular M365, with just a few much-needed tweaks to bring it up to speed with today’s competition. Interaktív jelzés: Kikapcsolt állapotban rövid megnyomással indítható. Bekapcsolt állapotban röviden nyomd meg egyszer a világítás be- és kikapcsolásához; kétszer egymás utazásin a sebességmód váltásához; és hosszan a kikapcsoláshoz. Unlike the Pure air 2, the Mi 1S isn’t completely waterproof and it’s not advised to use it in the rain, but the large pneumatic tyres ensure it can handle a much greater array of lumpy road surfaces. The smaller, solid wheels found on some rivals lead to a twitchy and slightly worrisome ride at speed, but these 8.5-inch numbers do a great job of improving stability. There is a light on the charger that indicates when the scooter is fully charged. To maintain the battery, it is advisable not to completely empty the battery every time you ride, but to charge it when it is still 20-30% full. Portability and weight The left-side handlebar has a bike-like lever that activates the rear brake and a thumb-controlled bell.

Xiaomi1S Electric Scooter: Key Features

The 1S battery has the same capacity and power as the M365 battery, and the scooter retains the same top-speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) and range of 30 km (18 miles). The range is pretty accurate (at least to begin with) but the speed tends to hover around 14 mph. Xiaomi also claim the battery on the 1S has been improved so that it takes less time to charge (5 hours) and has a longer overall lifespan (partly by limiting its charge so that it reads 100% charged when it is, in fact, only at 93% of its real capacity. Some people believe that the box their scooter arrives in will tell them if their Xiaomi scooter is real or not, and this is true to a certain extent. Fake scooter boxes can look quite realistic, but they tend to be brown (when the Xiaomi 1S and Xiaomi Pro 2 scooter boxes are white). They also rarely cover all the bases. For instance, an authentic Xiaomi (or Segway) box has a lot of detail, including the hazmat warning sign (for the battery). Below is the box for the 1S. The Pro 2 box looks very similar, but the Essential comes in a brown box. The Xiaomi 1S features a 280 Wh NE1003-H Lithium ion battery. You can fully charge an empty battery within 5.5 hours . Xiaomi guarantees 500 charges with more than 70% power retention. More often than not, the app the fake scooters use is the MiniRobot, a generic scooter app. Thus, should you come across an e-scooter for sale - and why would you not buy from us? - at a supiciously good price, be sure to ask about the app (in writing).

Please note distance may vary due to the speed, weather, weight and Road and we can’t gurantee the distance The biggest upgrade on the Xiaomi 1S is its LED display and three riding modes. The M365 has only two riding modes and four battery indicator dots, making it the only e-scooter I’ve reviewed without a display. The 1S also seems to have ironed out any kinks with the patchy Bluetooth connectivity I experienced when I rode the M365.This is a great scooter for those thinking of replacing public transport or even a bicycle with something smaller, more convenient and easier to stash in a flat or office. It offers a great mix of performance, durability and comfort at a price that won’t break the bank.
