Weebot presents the range of Xiaomi electric scooters
Specialized in the manufacture of electronic and computer products, Xiaomi has extended its activities in recent years to the world of electric scooters . By offering only two models, the Xiaomi M365 and M365 Pro electric scooters from the Chinese brand have quickly established themselves as the leader in the eco-mobility market.
A “success story” that launched the fashion for the electric scooter
This Chinese company, whose name Xiaomi means "little grain of rice", is known to sell at the price closest to the cost of manufacture. The global commercial success of Xiaomi smartphones has allowed the brand to expand into other electronic products.
In just ten years, Xiaomi has made its brand known to as many people as possible.
Xiaomi's goal is to offer state-of-the-art products at an affordable price to appeal to the general public.
It was in 2017 that the Xiaomi company released its first electric scooter 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 children's toy, the Xiaomi M365 electric scooter has quite simply revolutionized this industry by offering a simple, ecological and economical means of transport.
Space-saving and offered at a low price , Xiaomi's first electric scooter quickly won over users wishing to move quickly around town while being able to take public transport in parallel, always with the aim of optimizing journey times.
With its 25 km/h top speed (the maximum authorized by French legislation on public roads) and a range of around 30 km , the Xiaomi M365 meets the demands of the general public looking for excellent value for money .
A move upmarket with the M365 Pro model
Unveiled in 2019, the Xiaomi M365 Pro electric scooter has come to fill the gaps of the original M365 model by offering an even more successful version.
The M365 Pro sees its weight climb to 14 kg (i.e. 2 kg more than the M365 from which it takes the exterior design) but still remains just as transportable and compact. Xiaomi offers this time an LCD screen to display information from the electric scooter, such as speed, driving mode or even the remaining battery level. It was necessary to be satisfied on the M365 with a set of LEDs indicating the level of charge available.
With a more powerful brushless motor, the Xiaomi M365 Pro allows the crossing of steeper slopes (up to 20%) than its little sister.
An even more successful electric scooter model with an extended range of 45 km which also met with commercial success. Many copies of the Xiaomi scooter were born, which is why you have to be careful when buying these models .
The arrival of new Xiaomi electric scooters in 2020
By renewing its range of Xiaomi electric scooters in 2020, the Chinese manufacturer has brought its models up to date with the arrival of ever-increasing competition in light scooters .
If the Xiaomi brand had been content with two models of light electric scooters until then, the famous Chinese manufacturer is releasing no less than three revisited 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 machines look very similar at first sight to the original M365 model, whose dimensions they share. The new Xiaomi electric scooters see the addition of a rear disc brake to guarantee a reduction in braking distances as well as new, more resistant inflatable tires .
Like the M365 Pro, the new models share all of the full handlebar riding information display on the integrated LCD screen . If the Xiaomi Essential electric scooter directly attacks the entry level with an extremely attractive price, below 300 euros , the Xiaomi 1S comes directly to replace the M365 while the Xiaomi Pro 2 as its name suggests raises the M365 Pro.
