Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is designed for smooth and powerful rides. Its 350W motor, capable of reaching 700W at peak, allows you to hit a maximum speed of 25 km/h and makes getting around quick and easy.

One of the best features about the Scooter 4 Pro that we absolutely love is the impressive 446Wh battery. On a full charge, you can travel up to 55 km, making this scooter the perfect pick for longer trips. Moreover, charging it is also incredibly easy as it boasts a magnetised port that automatically clips in, so there’s no fuss with plugging in.

Lastly, Xiaomi makes your battery’s safety a top priority in this scooter with six layers of protection, ensuring maximum durability. Plus, you can easily know the status of your battery via the Xiaomi Home App and get a detailed overview.

When it comes to tackling hills, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is one of our favourite picks. Its motor is capable of reaching 700W at peak power, allowing it to confidently handle inclines up to 20 per cent. This means even steep hills are no problem, so you have the freedom to ride smoothly without worrying about losing power on the way up.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is built to last, thanks to its use of aerospace-grade aluminium alloy for the frame. This material is not only incredibly strong but also lightweight, ensuring the scooter can handle daily wear and tear while remaining easy to carry.

The deck of the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro measures about 15 x 50 cm (~6 x 20 in), giving you enough space to place your feet almost parallel as you ride. While it provides a stable platform, it might not feel as roomy or as comfortable as other scooters like the Eleglide Coozy, which offers a bit more foot space.

That said, the deck is designed to keep you balanced and in control, so it’s still a reliable choice for cruising through the city or navigating busy streets. 

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro doesn’t come with a dedicated suspension system, so it’s best to avoid extremely bumpy areas. However, the upgraded 10″ DuraGel tyres do a good job of absorbing most shocks. While it’s not a full substitute for suspension, the tyres help to smooth out the ride, making it manageable even on less-than-perfect roads.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is designed with safety in mind, featuring a front and back dual braking system that ensures a shorter braking distance. The front wheel is equipped with an E-ABS regenerative anti-lock braking system, while the rear wheel has an upgraded 130mm disc brake. This upgrade not only improves braking efficiency but also eliminates the common issue of disc rubbing. When you hit the brakes, both the front and rear braking systems activate to work together, helping you stop quickly and safely.

In addition to braking, the scooter includes a fully upgraded kinetic energy recovery system (KERS). This system boosts energy conversion efficiency, allowing it to capture energy from braking and non-powered coasting and turn it into extra battery power. So, it extends your scooter’s cruising range, and you can even adjust the energy recovery settings through the Xiaomi Home App to suit your riding preferences.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro offers an upgraded ride experience with its larger dimensions, making it feel more spacious and comfortable. It’s 60 mm taller, 68 mm longer, 54 mm wider at the handlebar, and 19 mm wider on the deck. These adjustments give you more room to manoeuvre and better stability as you ride.

The handlebar is crafted from TPR material, which provides a softer, more comfortable grip, making those longer rides easier on your hands. While the scooter doesn’t come with a dedicated suspension system, the shock-absorbing DuraGel tyres do a great job of smoothing out most bumps, so your ride remains comfortable even on rougher paths.

Another feature that we love is the hand throttle’s moderate resistance. It allows you to enjoy quick feedback, making it easy to control your speed and enjoy smoother acceleration. This attention to detail in the design enhances the overall ride quality, making the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro extremely comfortable to ride, whether you’re cruising through the city or navigating a slightly rougher road.

Xiaomi has made the Electric Scooter 4 Pro extremely portable as it weighs just 17.4 kilograms (38 lb) and is easy to carry and handle. The scooter has a foldable vertical handlebar that can be secured to the rear wheel with a strap, turning it into a convenient carrying handle. 

Folding and securing the scooter will take only a few seconds, and the handlebar’s locking mechanism is extremely solid and secure, so you won’t have to worry about about the scooter unfolding or shifting while you’re carrying or storing it.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is equipped with advanced lighting features that make your night time riding considerably safer. It features a new 2.5W ultra-bright headlight that offers high brightness without causing the headlight to dazzle, improving visibility without blinding oncoming traffic. Moreover, its light diffusion design keeps the beam below your line of sight, so you can see clearly without causing discomfort to others on the road. 

The tail light has also been upgraded to be bigger and brighter. It turns on automatically when the headlight is on, and it flashes when you brake, alerting those behind you. Plus, it doubles as a rear reflector to further enhance your visibility.

For extra safety, reflectors are placed on the front and sides, too. These features help you stay visible and secure when riding in low-light conditions, making it easier for others to see you and reducing the risk of accidents.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro makes it easy to keep track of your ride with its clear, user-friendly display. You can view real-time data on speed, speed mode, battery level, lock status, and more—all on one screen. The display layout is designed for simplicity, so checking your ride’s information is quick and easy.

The scooter features a handy one-button control system. This single button powers the scooter on and off, lets you switch between speed modes, and controls the headlight. It’s all about making things straightforward and accessible.

For even more control, connect your scooter to the Xiaomi Home App via Bluetooth. The app is your smart driving manager and gives you detailed insights into your scooter’s status, battery information, and mileage. Plus, you can manage the lights, lock the motor, update the firmware, and more, all from your phone.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro comes with three speed modes to fit different situations:

• Walk Mode: This mode keeps you at a slow, steady pace up to 6 km/h. It’s perfect for navigating crowded areas or when you need to move slowly and carefully.

• Drive Mode: While using this mode, you can ride at speeds up to 20 km/h. It’s a great all-around option for daily use, balancing speed and control for most of your trips.

• Sport Mode: Reaching up to 25 km/h, this mode gives you a more responsive and energetic ride. It’s ideal for when you want a bit more thrill and speed.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro comes with an IPX4 water resistance rating, meaning it’s protected against splashes of water. So, you can ride your scooter comfortable in light rain without worrying about its performance going down. 

While the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is among the best electric scooters on the market, it does come with a few minor drawbacks. Here are the main issues users have reported:

• No Suspension: The scooter doesn’t have a dedicated suspension system, so it relies only on the tyres to absorb shocks. This can make the ride a bit rough on uneven surfaces.
• Cruise Control Glitch: Some users have found that the cruise control feature doesn’t always activate even after multiple tries, which can lead to finger fatigue if you have to keep the throttle pressed.
• Long Charging Time: With a charging time of 8 to 9 hours, it takes a while to fully recharge the battery. This makes it tough to quickly top up the battery between stops and get back on the road.

At around €563, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is a solid investment. For starters, the 446Wh battery offers an impressive range of up to 55 km on a single charge, making it perfect for longer trips. The scooter also features self-sealing 10″ DuraGel tyres, which significantly improve shock absorption and protect against punctures. Plus, the scooter has advanced features like user-friendly app integration and cruise control at a fantastic budget-friendly price. 

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is ideal for those who need a reliable, well-rounded scooter for daily commuting and longer trips. So, if you’re someone who values a smooth ride with decent speed, solid battery life, and the convenience of a portable, foldable design, this scooter is a great match.

The scooter is also great for tech-savvy riders who enjoy features like app connectivity for real-time data and control. However, if you’re often on rough terrain or need a scooter with quicker charging capabilities, you might want to consider these factors before making a decision.
