Even though the version number of the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 3 is higher, it will still come with significantly less range than the Pro 2, and less performance overall, most notably climbing power, even though the motor power should be the same on paper. The Xiaomi 3 seems to have been made less performant on purpose so it will be street-legal internationally. Most of the other specs will be comparable or identical. Xiaomi Mi Pro 2 vs Xiaomi 1S If the features are little more than refined on the Xiaomi Pro 2 compared to the Xiaomi M365 Pro, the same goes for performance. Both have a reasonably long base plate that makes them easy to control, and though which mode you use will depend on your weight and the terrain in the area you’re going to ride your electric scooter, both have plenty of power. The ride quality is one aspect where the Pro 2 has provided a lot of improvement. Because of the new and improved tires, the scooter provides a more stable, more confident ride, while reducing the risk of flats at the same time, which is quite difficult to achieve. Turning and cornering are well-balanced, and the overall control and balance of the scooter are very friendly to beginners, including first-time riders.

Before we go any further, it is important to make it clear that e-scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) and illegal to use in the UK unless on private land or as part of an authorised rental scheme. However, e-scooters are legal in most other European countries and further afield, and with new green policies being drawn up by the government daily, this law may undergo a change soon. Bursting onto the scene at the end of 2016, few would have expected the Xiaomi M365 to become one of the world’s best-selling electric scooters. Three years later, the Xiaomi M365 Pro was released with a larger battery and more powerful motor.

The scooter does not come with a frame for a seat, but some users have chosen to install one on their own, and the operation is seemingly not that complicated and usually works out well. Personally, I would recommend adding the seat only if you think you must have it, as it messes with the structural integrity of the scooter.

The Pro 2 has a maximum load capacity of 100kg and weighs 14.2kg . Approved for road traffic, it is therefore useful for long distances or daily commuting. The 474 Wh battery is quite powerful and provides a range of up to 28 mph - much longer than that of similar models like the M365 and 1S. However, by keeping the maximum speed constant, the range is reduced to about 18 miles, which is still sufficient for home-work commuting. The battery takes between 8 and 9 hours to fully charge. Fast as a Bicycle They are equipped with lithium batteries without memory effect, providing a capacity of 446Wh and delivering good autonomy compared to similar models.

On the touch, it gives off a feel of reliability. The engineering remains largely the same as in the previous model (why change a winning team?). The finishing touches and the attention to detail, while not at the same level as premium scooters, still greatly exceed the expectations of budget owners. The cables are, for the most part, placed inside the stem, which is always good for aesthetics, carrying, and waterproofing. The scooter runs quietly, and the motor makes a gentle humming sound that’s almost impossible to hear. There is no rattling, wobbling, or any unusual sounds coming from the scooter.
