Xiaomi Mijia 1S electric scooter: A perfect alternative to bicycling and walking

A stand-up scooter equipped with an electric motor is an environmental-friendly vehicle, which is popular in urban areas for short distances. With the growing popularity of electric scooters, more and more companies are entering the segment. Xiaomi’s Mijia 1S scooter is one of them, which recently gained new features. Let’s check them out.

The Xiaomi Mijia 1S is well built and features a white, black, or satin black finish with red accents and red cable wires. All the cables are hidden in the scooter so that it can look completely clear. It also houses a small side stand so you need not look for a wall to prop it against.

Xiaomi has loaded the scooter with lots of new features. It comprises a new interactive visual dashboard that supports self-diagnosis and checking. It means the display notifies the user if anything goes wrong in the vehicle’s system. The display also shows battery life, driving status, and real-time speed. To interact with the Xiaomi Mijia, one can navigate through the several provided functions with the help of a single button given below the screen.

For the power, the Xiaomi Mijia 1S houses an integrated DC motor. It is rated with 3,000 hours of service life with a 250W power rating. It can run for 30 kilometers on a single charge and can attain a top speed of 25 kmph. Various modes of driving are energy-saving mode, normal mode, and an adjustable sports mode.

The light electric folding scooter weighs 12.5 kg and can lift up to 100 kg, because of aircraft-grade aluminum alloys used in it. You can take it anywhere by packing it quickly in your bag as the handlebar of the scooter can be folded in less than 3 seconds, isn’t it great?

Speaking about the safety of the folded scooter, it is equipped with two 8.5 inch tires that are wear and skid resistant. The handle has a double brake design for the front as well as rear wheels. When you release the throttle and press the handle brake, the scooter generates a small portion of the energy from the front wheels, which results in longer battery life. Not only this, but it also features an ABS and has a large disc brake structure. 

Xiaomi Mijia 1S Scooter is priced at 1,999 Yuan (RM 1,221) and is available on e-commerce websites in China. Interestingly, the price of the scooter is lower than the brand’s Redmi K20 Pro smartphone.
