Everything to know about The Mi Electric Scooter

When you see them spinning on bike paths, even overtaking electric bikes, no doubt it annoys you a little but it makes you especially jealous. Maybe one day you will even end up cracking up too, like all these urbanites who have been more and more numerous in recent years. A space-saving means of individual transport, at least less than a two-wheeler, requiring very little physical effort and yet fast, the electric scooter has in fact invaded cities. While many are those who have tasted its potential thanks to the models made available in self-service, more and more users are indeed taking the plunge to acquire their own. This in particular thanks to a brand, which has definitely changed the situation: Xiaomi.

Yes, the Chinese manufacturer does not only make smartphones. He has also come to impose himself in the field of electric scooters, like a real troublemaker who cuts prices while offering quality. Arrived on this market in 2017 with a model that has become emblematic and essential, the Mi Electric Scooter better known by its diminutive M365, it has since unveiled several others targeting different budgets. While the recent Pro 2 has thus become the brand’s new flagship, offering performance and top-of-the-range performance for just under 500 euros, it is Xiaomi’s entry-level electric scooter, the Mi Electric Scooter Essential. also unveiled quite recently, last month, which interests us today.

Let’s see, therefore, the characteristics of this Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Essential. Already, first observation: it is the lightest of its family, with its 12 kilos, and it is also a tad smaller (in terms of the length of the plate) than the Pro 2, which does not take away any comfort and even makes it a little more comfortable to wear. The real difference with its big sisters actually lies in its speed: this entry-level model is limited to 20 km/h while the others can reach 25 km/h, the limit imposed, let’s remember, for this type of vehicle by the Highway Code. But believe us, you will be able to overtake bikes and even cars stuck in traffic at this speed, which is already relatively high for the urban environment.

A screen to manage your speed and battery level

Then, we’re not going to lie to you, the Mi Electric Scooter Essential is also the least autonomous of the Xiaomi scooters, with a 5,100 mAh battery allowing you to travel up to 20 km all the same (provided that there is no not have too many elevation changes), knowing that it also recharges in 3.5 hours according to the manufacturer. Enough to be enough for daily journeys, especially in addition to public transport to reach the office. Then where the brand did very well is that despite a big price difference it offered its entry-level scooter the same design, more or less, as its flagship Pro 2. Namely, above all, a color LCD screen on the handlebars which indicates both the speed, the number of kilometers traveled, the battery level and the chosen driving mode. Yes, because with the Mi Electric Scooter Essential, you can go very well at 20 km/h in Sport mode, opt for the more reasonable Standard mode with its cruising speed of 15 km/h, or even follow a friend quietly. on foot thanks to the Pedestrian mode limited to 5 km/h.
