Complete range of Xiaomi scooters

Xiaomi scooters: all electric models
Before launching yourself into the purchase of a Xiaomi scooter, you should keep in mind that the brand has three different lines. We can differentiate the vehicles into these groups:

  • Basic line : these are the initiation models. They are cheaper and do not have a very high autonomy. Scooters such as the Essential or the Mi Electric Scooter 3 Lite are from this group.
  • Standard line : this group includes any scooter that is a successor to the original model. In general, these models are the best sellers, as they offer a good relationship between performance and price.
  • Pro line : they have a better build quality and a more extended autonomy.

Xiaomi does not really advertise them by “lines” but it will help you better understand the differences between them and understand how they are classified in terms of their final price.

All existing models

Now that you know these details, we leave you with the list of all the models that have been released to date.

My Electric Scooter M365 – Discontinued

Mi Electric Scooter M365

It was the original model , and it already had most of the features that the scooters that are sold today have. It has a 280 Wh battery capable of giving about 30 kilometers of autonomy with its 250-watt motor. Although it was already foldable, it did not have elements such as the screen, so, to see the information on the scooter, it was necessary to use the mobile.

Like all original models, it had its flaws . The first of all was the fender , which was easily broken. Many users even designed parts in 3D to mitigate this design issue. Another endemic failure was the welding of the batteries , which was not of good quality, and would come loose if the scooter experienced a lot of vibration. It was also quite prone to punctures, although that was actually unknown to most users, who did not properly maintain the scooter.

My Electric Scooter Pro – Discontinued

Mi Electric Scooter Pro

This improved version of the Xiaomi scooter arrived in 2019. It had a 300-watt motor and better finishes. Its main advantage was the battery, because now, the scooter reached 45 kilometers of use thanks to its huge 474 Wh battery . The more powerful engine also made it possible to climb steeper slopes (20% compared to 14% in the previous model). Its limitation remained 25 km/h, and it was also heavier, since the entire body of the device weighed about 14.2 kilograms. It was also the first model to equip an information display , and many users purchased the part to modify their original M365.

My Electric Scooter Essential

In 2020, Xiaomi released this revision of the M365 , which was intended to put an entry-level scooter . Already in that year, many competitors had launched their proposals on the market, so the Chinese march decided to release a simpler model.

The Essential has a maximum speed of 20 km/h and a range of 20 kilometers , for many, scarce. It also has difficulty climbing slopes, as it will not climb slopes with an incline of more than 10%. However, it is a cheap vehicle that has sold like hot cakes for its simplicity and for the fame of the brand behind it.

My Electric Scooter 1S

The same year, Xiaomi also put on sale the spiritual relay of the M365. Its specifications are identical to the original model. Even the weight is the same. However, it did have changes at the construction level . In addition to integrating the information screen, the 1S is better finished and solves several failures of the original model.

My Electric Scooter Pro 2

Electric Scooter Pro 2

Just a year after launching the first Pro, Xiaomi released a review of its most advanced model . On a technical level, the vehicle has the same specifications as the original pro model. Its light is more powerful (2 watts compared to 1 watt of the original model). It also gets new reflectors and a better designed fender mount.

Gossips say that this model was launched for pure marketing. Its launch price was higher than that of its predecessor. Several software modifications were also made to prevent users from exceeding the speed limit established by the brand. Nevertheless, it is a great scooter. It is the model that you should buy if you have to travel a long distance every day, as well as a vehicle to take into account if it is going to be used by a person weighing up to 100 kilos.

My Electric Scooter 3

Mi Electric Scooter 3

Released in 2021, the Mi Electric Scooter 3 replaces the 1S. This time there are differences at the technical level. The Mi Electric Scooter 3 has a more powerful motor , about 300 watts. This allows you to climb steeper slopes , up to 16% . Its battery shrank, as it now has a capacity of 275 Wh. However, its autonomy was not affected, because by improving the efficiency of its engine, this model continues to give about 30 kilometers per charge.

The engine upgrade also makes this scooter suitable for users weighing up to 100 kilos . This improvement is important, since the previous models of this same line supported up to 80 kilos according to their technical sheet – in practice, we already know that it is not like that. It is also a slightly heavier scooter, weighing 500 grams more than its predecessor.

My Electric Scooter 3 Lite

Mi Electric Scooter 3 Lite

After the success of the Mi Electric Scooter Essential, Xiaomi tried again with the Mi Electric Scooter 3 Lite. Its battery is still quite limited, since its lithium cells are only capable of holding 187 Wh. However, this new cheap Xiaomi scooter does reach 25 km/h.

Its motor is still 250 watts, and its weight has increased to 13 kilograms. His pending subject continues to be the slopes, since he will not climb any slope of more than 10%. As in the previous model, it has to do about 20 kilometers per charge.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro

The fourth generation of Xiaomi scooters has been released with this new Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro. It is a vehicle that has undergone a major redesign, starting with its motor, which now has a nominal power of 700 watts .

The Electric Scooter 4 Pro has a 474 Wh battery, which will allow you to cover a maximum of 45 kilometers with the device. Its weight has been established at 16.5 kilos, and now it allows people up to 120 kilos to move without problems with the vehicle.

On this occasion we find several improvements that justify the purchase more than its predecessor. The scooter now features 10-inch self-sealing tubeless tires . The brakes have also improved, which now have a dual eABS system, which in theory means that we can brake by traveling fewer meters. Of course, the driving wheel is still the front one, exactly the same as in the rest of the brand’s scooters. Of course, its price has also skyrocketed compared to the previous model, which makes this device less attractive compared to other competing brands.
