In January 2017, Guangzhou was not cold, but the smog felt more serious than in previous years. I originally thought about it and took a walk downstairs, but after thinking about it, I still let it go. Later, I received the Xiaomi Mi home electric scooter from Xiaomi , and I finally could walk around the office twice.
quickly bring the scissors and can't wait to open the box first! After calling the box, Xiaomi electric scooter lay quietly inside.
Xiaomi electric scooter has two color schemes, black and white, and is quite design-like in terms of details. The minimalist style continues the tradition of Xiaomi products. This time I got the black version.
First, let’s take a look at what accessories. The accessories included with the car this time include a power adapter, four screws, a hex wrench and an extended inflatable nozzle. When I first got the electric scooter , I had to go through a simple assembly before I could use it.
is OK, let’s see what it looks like after the installation is completed!
The height of Xiaomi electric scooter when riding is 114cm, which is quite suitable for most people.
The handlebar width of Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter is 43cm. When adults ride, this is basically a handle width shoulder-width, which is much narrower than a bicycle. When riding, there will be no discomfort because of the narrow handle, but the narrow handle will indeed affect the stability during handling. The sleeve is made of rubber, which has good anti-slip performance. Next to the handle of
is the car bell. The bell's beating handle is a good design. The specific one will be introduced later. However, this bell handle is not very useful. It requires a lot of pressing to ring, and the sound is not loud. It is indeed not as effective as the effect of shouting.
Then let's take a look at the only folding mechanism in the whole car. Xiaomi electric scooter can fold downwards, and there is a protective buckle on one side of the snap. After the position is locked, the protective buckle can be turned to prevent the snap from loosening.

After folding, the height of Xiaomi electric scooter dropped to 49cm (the height when riding was expanded was 114cm), and the length remained unchanged. Xiaomi electric scooter uses aviation-grade aluminum alloy as the main load-bearing material, with a total weight of 12.5kg, which is not particularly lightweight. It is fine for adult men to carry it up and downstairs, but if it is a girl, it is a bit difficult.

Xiaomi electric scooter is connected through the handle at the bell and the hook on the wheel protection frame. Xiaomi's design is still very clever.
The front wheel of Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter has steering angle limit, which is very important. Because the wheel diameter is small and the handlebar width is narrow, the uneven road surface can easily cause the wheel steering change. If there is no limit function, it is possible to pass a small hurdle and miss attention. If the handlebar is horizontal, the person will fall forward all of a sudden, which is very dangerous.
The pedals of Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter are designed to stand front and back with both feet, and they are not wide enough to stand side by side. There are very thick anti-slip rubber pads on the pedals, and there are many raised small particles on the anti-slip pads, which has a very good anti-slip effect. The "Mijia" logo is also designed on the pedals, which looks quite low-key. The charging connection interface of
is arranged at the lower left of the pedal. It is usually protected by a waterproof rubber pad, so you can just take it when charging.
Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter's bottom guard plate is made of plastic, not metal, because it should be for a certain degree of heat dissipation. But the strength of plastic is not as strong as that of metal. Moreover, due to the relatively low chassis, you should pay attention to bumps in daily use, otherwise the bottom guard plate of the battery compartment may break. And the waterproofness also has certain hidden dangers, so like Xiaomi's official website, we do not recommend that you use this product on rainy days.
car is not big, but it is still very stable in daily stops, and the elasticity is well grasped, which is easy to kick.
In order to improve the braking effect, Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter uses disc brakes, which looks very handsome, and the actual braking effect is also very good.The tires are 8.5 inches in size and the tires are also printed with Mijia's logo, which seems to be specially customized.
In the middle of the handle is the console, which has the only physical buttons in the whole car. By long pressing, short pressing, and double pressing, you can realize the functions of power switch, mode switching, switching headlights, etc. There are 4 LED lights above the buttons to display power. At the same time, the LED at the bottom is different in color and can also indicate the power mode. The green display means that it is in the energy-saving mode. The overall design is still very simple.

Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter adopts a thumb-pressed accelerator design. When riding normally, the thumb can be placed on the accelerator easily. The entire accelerator travel is about 5cm. Even if the full throttle is at the end, it is within the range of the thumb. The other four fingers do not need to change the hand posture, which can improve riding stability to a certain extent.

has an LED rear taillight on the protective board of the rear wheel. It will light up after the electric scooter starts, and it will flash continuously when brakes, prompting pedestrians and vehicles behind.

Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter requires an initial speed when starting, as demonstrated in the GIF. Without the initial speed, pressing the accelerator directly on the power will not start, which can prevent naughty children at home from causing trouble to a certain extent.
After Xiaomi Mijia electric scooter is turned on, you can connect to the Mijia App through Bluetooth. The main interface shows the full picture of the electric scooter, and you can see the current speed, battery capacity, the distance and average speed of the last driving. However, the current speed seems to be a waste of money. I believe no one will ride a scooter and look at the mobile phone screen. That is too dangerous.
can set cruise switches, energy recovery levels, and display basic driving information in the App.
summary
Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter adopts a unique folding snap design, which requires just one bend and one press to achieve quick folding in 3 seconds. It is more than enough to put it in the trunk of the car, and it is not difficult to carry it upstairs when you go home at the company, and there is no risk of losing it outside. In terms of performance, the speed of up to 25km/h and the battery life of up to 30km are fully applicable in daily commuting. The non-zero start mode and dual brake system also ensure safety during departure and during driving.
In terms of details, whether it is the clamping function of the bell handle when folded, the compact and practical support of the car, or the red warning flashing of the taillight when brakes are added. Xiaomi Mi Home Electric Scooter can score 85 points. It has simple design and exquisite workmanship. Although its performance is not the strongest, it is sufficient to use. For electric scooters, it has no obvious shortcomings, and some shortcomings are basically common problems in the scooter category.
