Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Essential for Adults - 20 km/h Maximum Speed - 20 km Range - 8.5 Inch Pneumatic Tyres - Black

Product Information

The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooters are some of the best electric scooters we’ve reviewed and it’s of no surprise that we continually see them on the best selling lists. The display on the Essential is the same as that from the M365 Pro, meaning it shows your speed, battery level and riding mode. There are three riding modes: normal, pedestrian and sport. The accelerator is a button on the right-hand handlebar, while there is a bike-like brake on the left-hand side, as well as the somewhat superfluous bell (which is needed to keep the Essential folded). A powerful LED light is built into the front of the handle for nighttime riding. Some have complained the light on the Xiaomis is too bright, but I disagree (it is not quite as bright as my bike light's top setting). There is also an improved rear light that flashes when you brake.

The Xiaomi tyres are 8.5 inches in diameter and pneumatic. The idea is that air-filled tyres makes the ride smoother. The ride is indeed smooth as long as the ground itself is reasonably level. I have ridden the M365 extensively in Mexico City, where road repairs fall fairly low down on the "to-do" list, and found that, as long as major potholes are avoided, and a comfortable riding stance taken, most road surfaces can be comfortably traversed. Unsurprisingly, cobble stones present something of a hazard. Potpuno novo prednje svjetlo od 2W ima visoku svjetlinu i udaljenost zračenja doseže 10 metara. Kut osvjetljenja dizajnom je optimiziran da ostane ispod linije vida kako bi spriječili zasljepljivanje prolaznika. Novo stražnje svjetlo još je veće i olakšava drugima da ga vide, omogućujući vam sigurniju vožnju noću There are currently 3 models in the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter range. Starting with the best value entry-level model, Essential, sitting alongside the mid-range, mid-priced 1S model and then onto the powerful top-of-the-range Pro 2 scooter.

We would always recommend wearing a helmet when riding an electric scooter. Most scooter injuries seem to happen when a pothole (or similar) is encountered and the smallish wheels are indeed susceptible to such obstacles. Please read my post Are Electric Scooters Safe? for more information and statistics on the safety of electric scooters. As we often point out, as of June 2020, it is not legal to ride privately owned electric scooters on public roads in Britain, although few police forces take any action against riders.

Sustav povrata kinetičke energije (KERS) u potpunosti je nadograđen. Prilikom kočenja ili otpuštanja ručice za gas tijekom vožnje, pretvaranje energije je učinkovitije, što dodatno povećava vijek trajanja baterije. It’s a shame that the height of the handlebars is still not adjustable, which may prove uncomfortable for people who are short or very tall. Likewise, the handles cannot fold up, so the Mi Essential remains quite imposing when folded up, which can be a problem in smaller apartments. E-ABS sustav protiv kočenja za prednji kotač i velika disk kočnica za stražnji kotač. Obje se aktiviraju u isto vrijeme, skraćujući kočioni put, čineći vožnju sigurnijom- The Xiaomi Essential Electric Scooter is a foldable e-scooter designed by Chinese tech giant Xiaomi (pronounced "show-er-me"). It is manufactured by Ninebot, who also manufacture the Segway branded scooters. The Essential has the normal Xiaomi folding design, 20 km (12 mile) range, 20 km/h (12 mph) top-speed, 12 kg weight and pneumatic tyres. It also boasts cruise control, front and rear lights, E-ABS brakes and a phone app (the Mi Home app seen below). The frame is basically the same as the M365. The Xiaomi Mi Scooter Essential is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 5100 mAh, which is 33% less than the Mi 1S. On paper, this difference is reflected in the nearest km on the autonomy with 20 km of autonomy announced, against 30 km for its big sister.

Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Overview

The scooter's battery is located in the base and the frame itself is built from aluminium. It is strong and the simple folding mechanism means it can be folded or unfolded in a few seconds. This sturdiness and low cost (as you are not paying for carbon fibre) does mean it is reasonably heavy at 12 kg (though this is slightly lighter than the M365/1S). But this is as light as mid-range scooters come. One difference from the M365, apart from yellow reflectors on the EU/UK model, is that the external wires are neater in the Xiaomi Essential. They still have not figured out how to feed the wire to the handlebars internally (through the folding joint) but they have at least tried. It is worth noting that once the battery level drops below 5% the scooter performance drops fairly significantly.
