Xiaomi Mi 1S vs. Pro2 E-Scooter Comparison

Question 1

This article compares the Xiaomi e-Scooter 1S and Pro 2.

Question 2

Key similarities between 1S and Pro2.

To put it briefly: The two e-scooters have more in common than differences. Both e-scooters are equipped with ample reflectors as well as a holder for the license plate in the DE variant. In addition, both scooters offer two independent braking systems. In the previous models, the rear and front brakes were still coupled together. This is no longer the case. The front brake works purely electronically and can be operated via a brake handle on the right-hand side. It is also important to know that the front brake recuperates and thus converts the braking energy back into electricity, which extends the range of the scooter. At the rear, a disc brake is installed. Compared to other scooters, this is rather small in diameter and causes slight squeaking noises when actuated in our test model. A little lubricant on the mechanics should solve the problem.

A display in the center of the handlebar shows the driving speed, Bluetooth connection, light status and driving level. Both e-scooters have three different driving levels here. Level one is intended for pedestrian zones and has a limit of five kilometers per hour. In driving level "D", the e-scooters allow a maximum speed of 15 kilometers per hour. In the final driving stage "S", the e-scooter can accelerate to up to 20 km/h. Unlike the top model [url="https://pvn.mediamarkt.de/trck/eclick/981118a0686aee080d4df5bdc90a7b47",name="Ninebot G30D II",title=""], for example, the drive is installed in the front wheel. It is noticeable that the front-wheel drive works well in itself, but it tends to lose contact with the ground or spin, especially on hills or uneven roads.

In terms of speed, our own tests have shown that it′s more likely to stop at 19 km/h, and with 85 kg even only 18 km/h can be reached on even roads. So the weight plays a big role here. With self-created "Custom Firmwares" in combination with apps, such as the 365 Down G or the Xiaoflasher app, the speed limit can also be regulated. Up to 33 km/h is possible, but this means the loss of road registration and insurance coverage and violates legal requirements in DE. The increased speed can be activated or deactivated after the so-called flashing of the scooter via apps, such as the German Maneuvre app or the brake lever trick.

Alternatively, you can also order the open version without DE road approval from Amazon, which can be driven in other countries, for example, and reaches 25km/h from the outset. This is then of course not suitable for domestic use in Germany, but is approved for example in Austria.

The light is integrated into the display housing at the front and shines brightly enough to be able to ride in the dark. The shape of the light cones corresponds to the Xiaomi logo. The rear light is equally sufficient to avoid being overlooked.

Finally, both e-scooters have 8.5-inch tires with air tubes. Inflating the front tire is a bit difficult, as the valve almost disappears into the motor housing, but should be done before the first ride. Experience shows that 3.5 - 4 bar on the tires is well suited. Xiaomi also supplies a spare tire with air hose. Furthermore, the scope of delivery includes the charger, an extension for the valve to inflate and in the DE variant the ABE (in the form of data confirmation and EC Declaration of Conformity - important for insurance companies, for example).

For transport, both scooters can be easily folded. The bell serves as a latching mechanism on the rear mudguard. The scooter can then be carried relatively comfortably on the handlebars.Surely you are already wondering what the differences are between the two e-scooter models.

Major differences between 1S and Pro2

The biggest difference between the two e-scooters is the battery capacity. The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 1S has a 7.65 Ah (275Wh) battery. The range here is given as 30 kilometers. The Xiaomi Mi Pro 2, on the other hand, can boast a range of 45 kilometers with a battery size of 12.8 Ah (474Wh).

The motor power of the two scooters is almost identical. Both e-scooters offer a lot of riding fun with a maximum power of 500 watts for the 1S and 600 watts for the 2Pro. Gradients of up to 15 e on the 1S and 20 e on the 2Pro are possible.

Due to the different battery sizes, there is of course also a difference in weight. The Xiaomi Mi Scooter Pro 2 weighs 1.7kg more than the "smaller" Mi Electric Scooter 1S. Both are among the lighter, more agile scooters on the market with a total of 14.2kg for the heavier 2S.

Visually, there are also virtually no differences between the two e-scooters. The Mi Electric Scooter Pro 2 only stands out from its "little brother" with a red ring on the front wheel. The rest of the scooter is kept in a stylish black.

The final difference is, of course, the price. The [url="https://pvn.saturn.de/trck/eclick/e9330b3520487225959349f17009fd6a",name="Xiaomi Mi 1S",title=""] can be found for €399 on Amazon. The [url="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0963NFBV3?tag=domgoe-21",name="Mi Scooter Pro 2",title=""], on the other hand, can be found from 495.00€ in the Amazon store.

Conclusion about the comparison of the Xiaomi 1S and Pro2

In summary, we can once again say that the two e-scooters differ from each other only to a very limited extent. The main difference is the battery size and the associated range, as well as the purchase price. Ultimately, it has to be decided whether 15 kilometers more range and a slight performance difference justify the price difference of around 100.00€. Since the kilometer specifications are generally very generous and rather half to 2/3 of the range is achieved, and the battery performance also decreases over the years, the [url="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0963NFBV3?tag=produck-21",name="Mi Pro 2",title=""] is the better choice especially for heavier people.
