MI ELECTRIC SCOOTER 1S GE

Product Information

Before we dive into the review, we must make it clear that that e-scooters are still classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) and therefore illegal to use on both roads and pavements in the UK, but this law may undergo a change soon. This is in stark contrast to other US and European cities where local laws permit their use. The Xiaomi 1S one of the lightest adult e-scooters currently available. This makes the scooter extremely suitable for use with public transport. When folded, the 1S has dimensions of 108 x 43 x 49 cm . This also makes it possible to transport the scooter in the boot of a car.

There is a light on the charger that indicates when the scooter is fully charged. To maintain the battery, it is advisable not to completely empty the battery every time you ride, but to charge it when it is still 20-30% full. Portability and weight The ultra-bright 2W front headlight on the Xiaomi 1S enhances your view and makes you more visible at night. The angle of the light has also been improved to avoid headlight dazzle. However, it can be very hard to tell a fake Xiaomi and a real Xiaomi by looking at it. Indeed, the companies producing fake scooters go to great lengths to make their products look real. With the new range, Xiaomi have tried to combat the issue by branding the stem with an orange "MI" followed by a "mi.com" in grey. Of course, producers of fakes may start adding these.

The Xiaomi Pro 2 is slightly bigger than the Xiaomi 1S; being a few centimetres longer and taller (when unfolded). Otherwise, the physical differences are negligable and purely aesthetic: as with the original Xiaomi Pro e-scooter, the Pro 2 has a red rim around the front wheel, while the reflectors are red on the on the Xiaomi 1S and yellow on the Xiaomi Pro 2 . The most obvious difference between the M365 and 1S is that the 1S has a speedometer on the display (below, right) whereas the Xiaomi M365 only has a battery indicator (the four LED lights) and mode indicator (the bottom light is green in eco mode). Though there is a speedometer within the Xiaomi Mi app, meaning you could attach your phone to the handlebar and get your current speed from that. The 1S's display is taken from the M365 Pro and, likewise, the 1S has three modes: normal, pedestrian and sports mode. Xiaomi have updated their super popular M365 electric scooter after several years of global dominance. However, instead of calling it something like M365 Mark II or M366 or N365, they have called it the Xiaomi 1S scooter. I assume the "S" stands for "scooter" but otherwise this new nomenclature makes little sense. It would make sense if it was a brand new model, but the 1S scooter is nothing of the sort. It is essentially an M365 with a M365 Pro screen and an improved battery. It is thus somewhere between the M365 and M365 Pro. But let's take a good look at the Xiaomi 1S scooter. You can also see a direct comparison of the M365 and 1S. A comfortable grip made from rubber and plastic ensures your hands are safe on the handlebars on both sides. Multi-functional dashboard

This is a great scooter for those thinking of replacing public transport or even a bicycle with something smaller, more convenient and easier to stash in a flat or office. It offers a great mix of performance, durability and comfort at a price that won’t break the bank. The all-around reflectors and number plate holder have been introduced to satisfy new laws in Germany. Recently, e-scooters are officially able to use the roads, and both of these features are required. A maximum speed of 25km/h (15.5mph) is plenty fast enough considering the speed restrictions and laws for the UK and most of Europe. For the rental e-scooter trial, the maximum speed in the UK is 20km/h (12.4mph), in line with the maximum speed limits in Germany, France and Denmark.If there is one thing we have learned about e-scooters over the years, it is that the range in the booklet regularly differs from the actual range. That leaves the question: how does the Xiaomi 1S perform against other Xiaomi models when it comes to range? Here are the differences: Model
