It’s finally here: Xiaomi has announced the Electric Scooter 4 Pro for the Western European market. The electric scooter has not only grown slightly, which should especially please slightly taller people, but it has also become more powerful. We were able to get a closer look at the e-scooter at the Xiaomi event and even briefly test drive it.
July 22 Update:
Almost a month after the official presentation in Paris, there are now new details about the market launch in Germany In an Instagram story by the German Xiaomi account, the question whether the Scooter 4 Pro will launch in this country has been answered Market launch in late August An exact launch date is still pending, and there are no details on pricing. Are you waiting for the new scooter? 🛴
Original post from June 23:
Are you also a bit confused by the naming of Xiaomi scooters? As with some smartphone series, things are getting a bit confusing with electric scooters. So, to “write it” again: Xiaomi didn’t really have Scooter 1 in this country, but it was Scooter 1S. A little more range is given Scooter Pro 2, but that was only the upgrade. Along with the Scooter 3, a supposed successor was shown at MWC in February, but so far it has only been reserved for other countries. At least the Scooter 3 Lite was recently presented by the KBA (German Federal Motor Transport Authority), perhaps a successor to the 1S?
The four most important innovations – tl;dr:
- More power (350W motor with 700W peak power)
- Large 10″ tubeless and self-sealing tires
- New magnetic charging connector
- Designed for weights up to 120 kg
- Arrived in Germany at the end of August
Design: Tall, Long, Wide
For the Scooter 4 Pro, Xiaomi is again using aluminum as the material. Compared to the Scooter Pro 2 with 1180 x 1130 mm (Height x Length), the new model is slightly taller with 1240 x 1198 mm (Hx L). The The tread also falls 19mm wide out, which increases driving comfort. The weight of the Scooter 4 Pro has increased to around 16.5 kilograms, but the maximum load is now included. 120 kilograms.
Xiaomi equips the e-scooter for greater driving comfort Large 10 inch tires (before 8.5 inches), which do without a hose. But the highlight should be Self-sealing via DuraGel to remain The elastic material inside automatically stops minor damage and acts like a kind of “self-healing”.
More power and more effective recovery
The engine again sits on the front wheels 350 watts, but can call up to a maximum of 700 watts. especially gradient 20% The Xiaomi Scooter 4 Pro should be able to “climb up” without any problems. A Scooter 1S and Pro 2 This was not always the case, so a comparison can be exciting. The 25 km/h speed specified by Xiaomi should increase when it launches in the German market 20 km/h max to limit
For stopping, there is again a combination of “electronic” brakes with eABS on the front wheels and disc brakes on the rear wheels. Here, however, Xiaomi has given the Scooter 4 Pro a larger disc of 130 mm. For KERS (“Kinetic Energy Recovery System”). Energy recovery during brakingYou probably also know it as recovery, also improved and now supposed to put a little more power back into the battery.
Magnetic charging connector
Talking about the battery, it offers a capacity of 12,400 mAh and is a Maximum range of 45 km There is a new one to charge the concern, Magnetic connection, which is no longer next to the bottom of the tread, but placed between the handlebar and the tread. The red rubber cover is also magnetic and thus covers the connection. one with IPX4 certificate However, the Xiaomi Scooter 4 Pro is protected from water splashes all around.
The display has been tweaked a bit and gets slightly more recognizable icons and displays. Xiaomi also has front and rear lights More brightness Equipped for good vision and visibility. As with previous models, the most important settings can be made in the Xiaomi Home app.
Market launch in Germany: yes, no, maybe?
Despite the announcement of “Western Europe”, the market launch in Germany may still be balanced Scooter already has one Official ABE from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (general operating permit), but the model shown in Paris will probably require some adjustments for German roads. Among other things, more side reflectors (like on the front wheel) and possibly a second brake lever, since the two brakes work independently of each other.
The first test drive was fun, but 1-2 minutes in Sainte-Quarter Paris was not enough to get a real driving impression. Of course we hope Xiaomi brings the Scooter 4 Pro to Germany so we can test it for you soon. Do you like the scooter? Or will the surcharge for the upgrade be too much for you?
