MI ELECTRIC SCOOTER 1S GE

Product Information

The 1S battery has the same capacity and power as the M365 battery, and the scooter retains the same top-speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) and range of 30 km (18 miles). The range is pretty accurate (at least to begin with) but the speed tends to hover around 14 mph. Xiaomi also claim the battery on the 1S has been improved so that it takes less time to charge (5 hours) and has a longer overall lifespan (partly by limiting its charge so that it reads 100% charged when it is, in fact, only at 93% of its real capacity.

A fake scooter may work reasonably well but it is unlikely to have been built to the same standards as a real Xiaomi. Added to this, Li-ion batteries can be dangerous and you would not want to be riding or charging a scooter with a possibly unsafe battery component. Xiaomi, on the other hand, is a reputable company that has recalled scooters when a safety issue has been discovered. The Xiaomi Mi1S features three-speed driving modes – Pedestrian, Drive (standard) and Sports – and boasts a sophisticated cruise control system.The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 1S has solid power and performance for a mid-range electric scooter – speed, motor and range – for everyday use in the UK. And it boasts a more efficient next-generation battery that will last longer. Maximum speed The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 1S was presented on 22 April 2020. The scooter is designed for adults and, due to its folding mechanism and weight of only 12.5, it can be used well with a car or public transport. It has a maximum climbing range of 14% and only weighs around 27.6 lbs, which is still quite heavy for an entry-level scooter. The good thing about it is that it has a maximum load capacity of 220 lb. On top of that, it only takes four hours to charge.

Promoted at Xiaomi’s launch event with the strapline ‘ride the last mile’, the 1S is aimed at commuters and short trips; however, it’s capable of a lot more than that. The main plastic platform is slightly smaller than its larger Pro 2 sibling, but there’s ample room to have even large feet resting one in front of the other. Unlike rival scooters, the rear fender doesn’t double-up as a brake and carries a ‘no step’ warning with it, which is slightly annoying given the rear foot naturally wants to sit here, but it feels strong enough to handle it. It is worth noting that once the battery level drops below 5% the scooter performance drops significantly (if you are in a rush ensure you have it reasonably well-charged or you may find yourself going at an embarrassingly slow speed). The scooter has a maximum construction speed of 25 km/h. In the centre of the display is a button that allows you to switch between three modes: That leaves the question: how does the Xiaomi 1S perform against other Xiaomi models when it comes to range? Here are the differences: Model

Xiaomi 1S Electric Scooter Review

Apart from the tail light control, the app displays other relevant information including your current battery level, average speed and trip riding mileage. Unless you have a mobile phone holder attached to your e-scooter, you won’t be able to see this information in real-time but the remaining battery level, which is shown more precisely than on the handlebar LEDs, makes this worth doing. The scooter’s LED battery notification might show you one light, for instance, when you only have 10% capacity remaining. 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. To fold the e-scooter, slide the release securing the latch on the steerer tube, pull down the latch until the steerer tube starts to fold, then secure it in place by attaching the lever on the bell to the protrusion on the rear mudguard. Again, it’s simple enough to do without even referring to the manual and you can fold or unfold the e-scooter in under five seconds once you get the hang of it. 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 Xiaomi Mi 1S has a series of updates compared to the M365, including an additional riding mode, an improved multi-functional LED display, enhanced safety features, a better rear mudguard (fender), and some cosmetic changes. 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. The 4 Pro's enhanced riding experience is matched by its stylish design, with a minimalist handlebar design - featuring an upgraded integrated display - and a striking colour scheme for both fast and fashionable riding. The Xiaomi Mi 1S is powered by a front-wheel 250W (up to 500W maximum) motor, that’s ample enough power for commuting and everyday use. And there’s plenty enough ability to handle up to 14% gradient hills and carry a maximum load of 100kg.

The Xiaomi 1S E-Scooter comes with a 250W motor powered by a 7650mAh/275Wh Li-ion battery, which powers through almost all general road surfaces that you’d expect an electric scooter to zoom through.

A comfortable grip made from rubber and plastic ensures your hands are safe on the handlebars on both sides. Multi-functional dashboard 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. Some people believe that the box their scooter arrives in will tell them if their Xiaomi scooter is real or not, and this is true to a certain extent. Fake scooter boxes can look quite realistic, but they tend to be brown (when the Xiaomi 1S and Xiaomi Pro 2 scooter boxes are white). They also rarely cover all the bases. For instance, an authentic Xiaomi (or Segway) box has a lot of detail, including the hazmat warning sign (for the battery). Below is the box for the 1S. The Pro 2 box looks very similar, but the Essential comes in a brown box.

Personally, I prefer the comfortable rubber grips on the Xiaomi 1S handlebar compared to the squishy rubber grips on the Pure Air, which feel cheap. However, the Pure Air counters this with 10in pneumatic tyres that offer a slightly more comfortable ride across different surface types compared to the Xiaomi 1S’s 8.5in ones. The main difference between the Xiaomi 1S and Xiaomi Pro 2 is the battery. The battery is, simply put, larger in the Pro 2, meaning it has a greater capacity and can thus cover a greater distance on a single charge (45km as opposed to 30km). This also means the Pro 2 needs a bigger base than the 1S to contain its bigger battery. The overall effect is that the Pro 2 is 1.7kg heavier at 14.2kg (which is actually noticeable because 12.5kg is reasonably heavy in the first instance). The Pro 2 also has more power, meaning it can climb a higher gradient despite the extra weight. Of course, the other consideration of a larger battery is the time needed to charge it.
