Are you thinking of getting an electric scooter to run quick errands? The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 3 is a new foldable and compact scooter to help you get to places faster.
It comes in at 13kg, and it can handle up to 100kg. You get a speed of 25km/h with a travel distance of 30km and a climbing angle of up to 16%, which means it can handle some slopes with ease. The tires are shock-resistant pneumatic tires, so they’re ready for bumpy roads, too.
As for its safety features, there are eABS + dual pad rear disc brakes, front, rear, and side reflectors, and a 2W headlight.
When it comes to assembly, all you need to do is screw on the handlebar. This is what you get in the box:
- Mi Electric Scooter 3
- Charging adapter
- T-shaped hex key wrench
- Extension nozzle
- Screws x 5
- Documentation
The charging port is at the bottom of the base, and, of course, you’ll need to charge this scooter before using it. It has a 7,650mAh battery with a charging time of 8.5 hours. If the scooter goes unused between 10 to 15 days or its battery falls under 30% while in storage, the Mi Electric Scooter 3 goes into sleep mode to prevent battery over-discharging.
After you’re done charging, you just need to activate it. The Mi Electric Scooter 3 connects to the Mi Home app via Bluetooth.
There’s a screen in the middle of the handlebar, where you can turn on the headlight, check your speed, and change the different riding modes.
It comes with three modes: Standard, Sports, and what we’re calling Pedestrian. The last mode seems like the mode you’ll activate when you want to walk with the scooter.
You have the brakes and a bell on the left side and the accelerator on the right. And there is a brake light at the back.
