Today Xiaomi officially launched the Mi Electric Scooter Pro 2 and the Mi Electric Scooter 1S in the UK. However, they have already been launched in the past, and you can even buy the Xiaomi Mi Pro 2 from Halfords for £599.99
With a recent change in the law (for rentals) and a shift away from using cars since the pandemic, interest in electric scooters is no doubt high, and Xiaomi, arguably, has the best on the market.
The Xiaomi Scooter M365 is the one that gets universally recommended, so what is different with these new scooters?
Don’t expect big upgrades – these are just more likely to comply with the law
Well for a start Xiaomi haven’t sold the electric scooters themselves in the UK before, and I don’t think the M365 is the official name for the UK.
There is effectively no meaningful difference between the M365 and the newly announced Xiaomi 1S with the exception of an added driving mode (speed) and upgraded LED display. Beyond that t looks like they have just made it more compatible with potential future legal requirements, which basically includes reflectors and a licence plate holder.
Similarly, the Xiaomi M365 Pro hasn’t really been upgraded much, the new Xiaomi Pro 2 has the new LED display, reflectors and licence plate holder.
While a minor upgrade, the LED display will now show the speed, battery, distance & ride mode
Mi Electric Scooter Pro 2 vs Mi Electric Scooter 1S
So with no real difference between the two pro models and the M365/1S let’s look at what the added cost a Pro model gets you.
Basically, its just range. The 1s can go for 18.6 Miles / 30km then the Pro models can go for 28 miles / 45km.
The increased range adds to the weight, the 1S is 12.7G while the Pro and Pro 2 are 14.2 kg
Price and Availability
As I write this, Xiaomi hasn’t announced their price yet, but the bikes are on sale at Halfords, so we can assume they will be the same
- The Xiaomi Mi Pro 2 Electric Scooter is £599.00
- The older Xiaomi M365 Pro is also £599.00 (on Halfords)
- The Xiaomi Mi 1S is £499.00
- But you can save £30 by getting the almost same specced Xiaomi Mi M365 for £469.00
