Xiaomi - Electric Scooter 5 Pro

That's not true. I'm sure there are plenty of companies putting their name on this scooter, but Xiaomi is not one of them. It's obviously based on and probably stolen from Xiaomi. It's basically the m365 with some dinky little front shocks thrown on as a afterthought. The m365 is the best selling scooter of all time (so far). It's basic, not very powerful, and obsolete by 2025 standards, but they were solid little scooters and really good for the money. It's like the Nokia 3310 of scooters. If it's built like a Xiaomi, great. But it's probably not. If they were a decent manufacturer, they probably be making scooters of their own design. It's pretty rare that you find a knock off that's equal to the original. "Oh my fake Rolex is so much better than the stuff that the guys that have been making watches for 400 years put out“-- said no one ever. Here's where it gets tricky. It MIGHT be pretty good, but even if your buddy got one from this company, it's a roll of the dice. Why? Because companies like this don't do any testing or quality control checks. And a lot of times they'll buy rejected components from other manufacturers. Segway takes a lot of shit for being expensive because...well, they're expensive. But a company like Segway is going to bench test each component individually and then test the completed build. If something is out of spec, it gets rejected. It might function, but fail to meet some criteria (efficiency, thermal load, or one of a dozen other criteria that I'm not smart enough to understand). Alas, they probably don't just run a band saw through those components that function but don't pass spec. They wind up in the factory seconds market. And that's where knockoffs and parts bin manufacturers buy a lot of their components. So maybe you get it and it's fine. Better than 50% odds I'd bet. But how long until something fails. Or the wild card-- what if the wrong thing in the battery fails? Is it UL certified? That's really important. It's a pretty basic certification, but if they haven't bothered to go through the certification process, or worse couldn't pass it, you don't want to have anything to do with that scooter. You don't want it in your house, you don't want to in your neighbor's house. Stay away.

5 Pro is very unpleasant to ride, because front suspensions are by my opinion with factory fault. When riding, the lower METAL parts of front suspensions are stroking one on other and this is so disturbing. Service cannot fix that, so this is factory problem! Very unpleasant! 4 Pro was better. Weird!!

Can't help you about reviews, but I *can* tell you - from the tech specs and from user reports here - that E-series Ninebots below the E3 Pro aren't actually very good. They have weak powertrains and tiny ranges and they'll choke on any uphill; personally I'd avoid them all. The E3 Pro specifically is the only one with a half-decent powertrain; I'd imagine that's why people have more things to say about it. I *would* choose a Xiaomi 5 before any E-series, but I'd choose a Ninebot F3, cheaper F2, or even the older G30 before the Xiaomi 5.

Max g30lp or or gotrax g4 ( some people say they are horrible but I used it snd it’s amazing ) maybe the xiaomi scooters too like the xiaomi m365 or xiaomi pro models if you can manage to find one under 500 I reccomend some with solid tires ( be aware of clones ) as solid tires can give you more range and be more reliable because of no risk of flats . But can be more unsafe when wet and be more bumpy

Do you really think the Xiaomi 5 is better than the E3 Pro? From a price perspective, they are pretty much the same. The motor power is also quite similar 700W for the Xiaomi and 800W for the E3. Both have 10-inch tires. The Xiaomi has a bigger battery but is heavier. Also, the damping is better on the E3 Pro (both front and back) compared to only front suspension on the Xiaomi 5. If you want both front and back suspension on the Xiaomi, you have to buy the more expensive version. So, I would say: if you need more range, go with Xiaomi and if you want more comfort and don’t need a large battery, go with the Segway. I was choosing between the two and decided on the E3. It should arrive next week. But to be honest, you can’t go wrong with either at this price point; just keep in mind that both will struggle with anything above a 20degree uphill slope.

I own a xiaomi 5 and it does a good job of getting me between work and home, for 5km trip one way it does everything it needs to. Driving on pavement or asphalt feels great but driving it on dirt roads with rocks might feel a bit rough since the scooter has no rear suspension. Tires hook great in snowy wet and dry conditions, but I wouldn’t ride it on snow higher than my ankles since it has street tires which dont bite into the snow too much. Overall build quality is great, it has pretty decent lights, riding it feels safe and stable. Only downside is the fact theres no way to lock the accelerator and that i own the EU version which only goes 20km/h not 25 Never owned a Ninebot so cant tell u much about it but Ill answer any questions u have about the xiaomi.

Best old xiaomi Pro 2 - 12.4a good battery. New pro versions about same , bit more power. Esmax good value.

I have a Xiaomi 5 Pro and my mother has the normal 5. Daily use in summer until last week without any problems, both only go 19-20 km/h in Germany, but we don't care about the 1-2 km/h difference. The e3 pro d has rear suspension, albeit only polymer (i.e., like a piece of rubber), but still better than nothing. On normal paths and roads, however, I hardly notice any difference with my 65 kg weight between my 5 pro and the 5. You probably have to be heavier or ride on badly damaged roads. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either of them.

Si vas por un monopatín te sugiero que consideres los de xiaomi. Son los mas populares lo que significa que es más fácil conseguir repuestos. Si queres uno usado te diría que vayas por el modelo m365. Si en cambio queres uno nuevo yo iría por el Scooter Xiaomi 5. Nosotros tenemos 2 (m365 y scooter 3) y los usamos para viajes cortos. Y para eso es muy util. Ir al gimnasio, ir hasta una tienda en el centro o en algún lugar donde ir en auto complica pq no hay para estacionar, ir a la casa de algún amigo/a que quede cerca, para ir a un pub tmb para no tener manejar un auto alcoholizado, para ir al trabajo ya que lo doblas y lo metes en cualquier lado. Si bien el limite de velocidad suele ser 25km/h en la mayoría de los xiaomi podes desbloquear el firmware para ir más rápido. En particular mi m365 llega a unos 35km/h y la verdad no se si quiero ir más rápido que eso en un monopatín. Si no vas por uno de esos modelos... fijate bien el peso. Hay muchos que son más aparatosos y si bien son más cómodos para andar y quizás van más rápido y tienen mayor autonomía... son tan pesados que subir una escalera se hace muy difícil. Es un opción genial para ciertos viajes cortos. También consideraría una bici eléctrica como una opción similar.

You have some brutal boyueda scooters, with 60v and 38ah, they are outrageous, they are not more than $1300 on Alixpress If you are looking for something not so big you have the teverun and the iscooter (teverun better brand) You can also see what Xiaomi offers if you are not interested in something so powerful or so heavy, the 5 pro Max or the Max are great, what you save in money you can add accessories or an external battery
