Weebot presents the range of Xiaomi electric scooters
Specializing in the manufacture of electronic and computer products, Xiaomi has expanded its activities in recent years into the world of the electric scooter. By offering only two models, the Xiaomi M365 electric scooters and M365 Pro from the Chinese brand quickly established themselves as market leaders in eco-mobility.
A “success story” that launched the electric scooter trend
This Chinese company, whose name Xiaomi means “little grain of rice,” is known for selling at prices closest to manufacturing cost. The global commercial success of Xiaomi smartphones allowed the brand to expand into other electronic products.
In just ten years, Xiaomi has managed to make its brand known to the widest audience.
Xiaomi’s goal is to offer cutting-edge technology products at an affordable price to appeal to the general public.
It was in 2017 that Xiaomi released its first electric scooter, the M365, which immediately won over many users by offering a light electric scooter model with a minimalist and well-thought-out design.

Considered at the time as a toy for children, the Xiaomi M365 (find the Xiaomi M365 electric scooter test) simply revolutionized this industry by offering a simple, ecological, and economical means of transport.
Compact and offered at a low price, Xiaomi’s first electric scooter quickly won over users wishing to move quickly in the city while also being able to use public transport, always aiming to optimize travel times.
With its 25 km/h top speed (the maximum allowed by French law on public roads) and a range of about 30 km, the Xiaomi M365 meets the demands of the general public looking for an excellent value for money.
An upgrade with the M365 Pro model
Unveiled in 2019, the Xiaomi M365 Pro electric scooter filled the gaps of the original M365 model by offering an even more refined version.
The M365 Pro’s weight rises to 14 kg (2 kg more than the M365, whose exterior design it retains) but remains just as portable and compact. Xiaomi this time offers an LCD screen to display electric scooter information such as speed, driving mode, and remaining battery level. On the M365, users had to make do with a set of LEDs indicating the available charge level.
Equipped with a more powerful brushless motor, the Xiaomi M365 Pro allows climbing steeper slopes (up to 20%) than its smaller sister.
An even more advanced electric scooter model with an extended range of 45 km that also met commercial success. Many copies of the Xiaomi scooter appeared, so it is important to be cautious when purchasing these models.
The new Xiaomi electric scooters
By renewing its range of Xiaomi electric scooters in 2020, the Chinese manufacturer updated its models in response to increasingly strong competition in the light scooter market.
While Xiaomi had only offered two models of light electric scooters until then, the famous Chinese manufacturer released no fewer than three revamped versions of its flagship electric scooter in 2020: Xiaomi Essential, 1S, and Pro 2.
Based on the same low-density aerospace aluminum architecture, the three vehicles closely resemble the original M365 model at first glance, sharing the same dimensions. The new Xiaomi electric scooters feature an added rear disc brake to ensure shorter braking distances as well as new, more durable inflatable tires.
Like the M365 Pro, the new models all share a full display of driving information on the integrated LCD screen on the handlebar. While the Xiaomi Essential electric scooter directly targets the entry-level market with an extremely attractive price under 300 euros, the Xiaomi 1S directly replaces the M365, and the Xiaomi Pro 2, as its name suggests, succeeds the M365 Pro.
