FAQs

Is the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 1S legal to use on public roads?

What is the maximum weight capacity of the scooter?

The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 1S has a maximum load weight capacity of 100 kg.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

Can the scooter be used in the rain?

The scooter has an IP54 rating, which means it is protected against dust and splashing water. While it can handle light splashes, it is not recommended for use in heavy rain or for riding through puddles.

What is the purpose of the KERS system?

The Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) captures kinetic energy during braking and coasting and converts it into electrical energy to recharge the battery, thereby extending the scooter's range.

How do I switch between the different speed modes?

You can switch between the three speed modes (Pedestrian, Standard, Sport) by double-pressing the power button located on the handlebar control panel.

What is included in the packaging?

The packaging typically includes the Mi Electric Scooter 1S, a power adapter, a hexagon wrench, an extended nozzle adapter, screws, a spare tire, and user manuals/important information.

Troubleshooting

Scooter won't turn on

Ensure the battery is charged. Check that the power button is pressed correctly. If the issue persists, consult the Mi Home App for battery status or error codes.

Reduced range or battery not holding charge

This could be due to battery degradation or extreme temperatures. Ensure the scooter is stored and charged within the recommended temperature range. Use the Mi Home App to check the battery's health. Consistent use of KERS without excessive hard braking can also help.

Weak braking performance

Check the rear disc brake for wear or misalignment. Ensure the E-ABS system is functioning correctly (indicated by smooth deceleration). Clean the brake components if they appear dirty.

App connection issues

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and that the scooter is powered on. Try restarting both your phone and the scooter. Ensure you have the latest version of the Mi Home App installed.

Unusual noises during riding

Check the tires for proper inflation and inspect for any foreign objects. Listen for noises coming from the motor or wheel bearings. If the noise is significant, discontinue use and seek professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Upon unboxing, you will find the Mi Electric Scooter 1S, a power adapter, a hexagon wrench, an extended nozzle adapter, screws, and a spare tire. Attach the handlebars to the main steering column using the provided screws and hexagon wrench. Connect the power adapter to the charging port, typically located near the footboard, and plug it into a power source. A full charge is recommended before the first use.

Compatibility:

The scooter can be connected to the Mi Home App via Bluetooth. This app is available for iOS and Android devices and allows for firmware upgrades, monitoring of ride data (mileage, speed, battery status), locking/unlocking the scooter, and customizing settings like cruise control.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the scooter with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets, as the scooter has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and splashing water but not full immersion.
  • Tire Maintenance: Regularly check tire pressure if applicable (though these are pneumatic, they are robust). Ensure the tires are free from debris. The included spare tire can be used for replacement if a puncture occurs.
  • Battery Care: Store the scooter within the recommended temperature range (-20°C to 45°C). Avoid fully discharging the battery regularly. The smart battery management system helps protect the battery, but monitoring its condition via the Mi Home App is advised.
  • Folding Mechanism: Ensure the folding mechanism is kept clean and lubricated as needed to maintain smooth operation.
