About this deal

The Xiaomi M365 e-scooter was first released in late 2016 but came to prominence in North America in 2017 and then Europe in 2018 when scooter hire company Bird put thousands on the streets of cities across those two continents. In April 2020, Xiaomi quietly released the Xiaomi 1S in China and then their new range, including the Essential, 1S and Pro 2, was leaked. Presumably, the awkward release was due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The EU/UK version of the Essential finally arrived in August 2020.

Otpornost na proboj i robusnost su sveobuhvatno poboljšani, a performanse protueksplozijskih guma također su uvelike optimizirane. Trajnost guma od 8,5″ povećana je do 3 puta. Ne samo da omogućuje nesmetanu vožnju po ravnim cestama, već je i vrlo udobna za vožnju po ne asfaltiranim cestama poput šljunka, zemljanih cesta i trave. 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. 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. 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. 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.Notable change compared to the Mi 1S: the handles are no longer made of silicone but in a kind of rigid foam. It’s more comfortable, but it doesn’t really exude quality and it will be necessary to see in the long term if it proves to be resistant to the elements as well. Xiaomi does, however, ensure an IP54 certification, ensuring that splashes and rain will not prevent it from functioning. A Father’s Conduct : It is worth noting that once the battery level drops below 5% the scooter performance drops fairly significantly.

If this may be suitable for my use knowing that I live within a radius of 5 km from my place of work, with a generally flat route – or 10 km round trip, which even leaves me a little room to make a detour -, the average distance traveled in a day for daily transport is closer to 20 km, or even exceeds them (21.4 to 22.2 km according to Institut Paris Region in 2011 and 25.76 km according to SD Worx on the Europe in 2018). It, therefore, remains reserved for people making very short trips on a daily basis. How do you decide between the Xiaomi Essential, Xiaomi 1S and the Xiaomi Pro 2? This brief guide will give you the details to help you choose between the new Xiaomi range, focusing on the few differences between the Xiaomi scooters. The main difference between the Xiaomi Essential, Xiaomi 1S and Xiaomi Pro 2 is the battery. Basically, the battery gets larger from the Essential to the Pro 2, meaning it can cover a greater distance on a single charge (20 km, 30 km and 45 km respectively). It also means the Essential is the lighest and the Pro 2 the heaviest. The other consideration of a larger battery is the time needed to charge it. The Essential takes the least time to charge, whereas the Pro 2 takes about eight hours. 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.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. 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. Etenkin nuorisolle suunnatulla kevytrakenteisella ja tyylikkäällä Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Essential -sähköpotkulaudalla taittuvat lyhyet matkat miellyttävästi. Helposti hallittava ja nopeasti käyttöön otettava skuutti on turvallinen käyttää. Sen kehittynyt ohjausjärjestelmä tuntuu luonnolliselta käyttää. Turvallisen ja lukkiutumattoman kaksoisjarrujärjestelmän ansiosta sähköpotkulauta pysähtyy tehokkaasti. Autoista mallinnetut etu- ja takavalot lisäävät turvallisuutta muita liikenteessä sokaisematta. Kätevällä puhelinsovelluksella saa hallittavuutta sähköpotkulaudan toimintoihin. Taitettavan rakenteen ansiosta skuutti kulkee helposti mukana vaikkapa julkisissa kulkuneuvoissa. Moottori ei ole yhtä tehokas kuin suuremmissa malleissa ja mikäli haluat nopeampaa kulkua sekä päästä jyrkempien mäkien päälle suuremmalla kuormalla, on mallin isoveljet 1S ja Pro 2 soveltuvampia malleja. Novo stražnje svjetlo još je veće i olakšava drugima da ga vide, omogućujući vam sigurniju vožnju noću As on the previous models, Xiaomi offers three driving modes on the Mi Scooter Essential: pedestrian, standard and sport. The former is designed for walking on sidewalks, the latter for making the most of the engine’s power and Standard mode for saving energy. Set to 20 km/h on the most powerful scooters of the brand, it is here limited to 15 km/h. At this rate, I must admit that I almost wanted to pull out a book while driving to pass the time …

Just like with the 1S, and most certainly the Pro 2, Xiaomi has however improved some shortcomings of its previous models on the Mi Essential. This is particularly the case with braking. After all, the LCD display on the handlebars already gives most of the necessary information. A Battery Designed For Everyday Citizen:The Xiaomi Essential has an official range of 20 km / 12.5 mi, and that range is confirmed in independent user tests so far. Some users on the heavier side report getting less range in their everyday rides, and even those are pretty rare. Vaikka sähköpotkulaudalle annetaan IP-luokitus, kieltää valmistaja(t) kuitenkin ajamisen sateella tai lätäköiden yli. Tämä kielto esiintyy yleensä ohjeessa ja aplikaation oppaassa, minkä vuoksi veden päätyminen laitteen sisään mitätöi takuun, ohjeiden vastaisena käyttönä. 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.
