Get around with ease with the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro
Xiaomi might be known to many as a maker of smartphones, but did you know that the company dabbles in all manner of electronic gadgets and products? For example, the company makes rice cookers, they make kettles, they make smart lights, they make monitors, screwdrivers, and more.
This is why it shouldn’t be too surprising to learn that Xiaomi has also gotten into personal transportation with their own series of electric scooters. In fact, if you’re interested in an electric scooter that will help you go about town in a more efficient and fun way, then perhaps the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro might be worth checking out.
Clean and sleek design
The bike itself is finished in black like we mentioned, but as you can see from the images, it also features wheels with a red trimming around the rims, along with a red cable running down the side, giving it that nice pop of color and helps break up that monotony of the black finish.
As for the actual design of the scooter itself, it looks like what you might expect from a standard scooter, so it’s good that Xiaomi did not try to mess around with it. Xiaomi did make some slight design changes from the earlier models, where the 4 Pro is slightly taller at 1,240mm, and it also has a wider handlebar so if you have broader shoulders, the wider bars will help you hold onto the scooter more comfortably.
The base of the deck has also been widened from 146mm from the Pro 2 to 165mm in the 4 Pro, so once again, people with larger feet or who are larger in size will have more area to stand on for a more comfortable ride.
There is also a built-in display along the handlebars so you can see how fast you’re riding, how much battery you’ve got left, along with other indicators for light, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, and so on.
Foldable for easier portability
Xiaomi also claims that the scooter itself is made from aerospace grade aluminum alloy which means that the scooter is not only tough, but lightweight, which might also come in handy if you need to bring it with you onto the train. Combine that with the foldable design and you’ve got yourself a near-perfect personal mode of transportation.
More power
It can also travel at a top speed of 25km/h, which is honestly pretty fast as far as electric scooters are concerned, but unless you know for sure that the area is clear of cars and people, it’s still a good idea to travel at a safe speed all the same. The 700W power output also means that the scooter is capable of climbing hills with a 20% incline climb, so it should be good enough to make it around a city.
Xiaomi has also included the use of 10-inch DuraGel tires which are tubeless, meaning that you don’t have to worry about punctures like you would a regular bike or car tire. This doesn’t mean that the wheels can’t get damaged, but it’s something less to worry about. In the event that they are damaged, they are self-sealing which means that you can still make it to a store to get it fixed or replaced.
Long-lasting battery and safety features
Speaking of charging, Xiaomi has also made changes to the charging lid where it is now magnetized so that you can easily remove it and replace it when you’re done charging.
There are also various reflectors placed along the bike and there’s even a brake light on the back to let other vehicles or people behind you know that you’re coming to a stop. There’s even a 2.5W headlight so if you are riding at night, the bulb should be bright enough to illuminate what’s ahead of you while also letting people know you’re there.
Pricing and availability
If the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro sounds like the perfect personal transportation vehicle for you, then you might be interested to learn that it will cost around $665. More information on the scooter including its complete specs can be found on Xiaomi’s website.
