Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro in review: Does the top of the line scooter deliver what it promises?

Aluminum dominates the construction material of the Scooter 4 Pro. The scooter features the typical aluminum tube design of the Xiaomi line, which makes it look lighter and more agile than it actually is. The stability leaves nothing to be desired and the workmanship is also on a high level. Within the Xiaomi family, the Pro 4 sets itself apart with a payload of up to 120 kg (~265 lb). In terms of color, the entire scooter is kept in a black-gray tone. Accents are set by the red-sheathed brake cable, the red cover of the charging socket and the striking red rings in the tires.

The scooter’s high weight is primarily due to the large installed battery. Compared to models with similar capacity or range, such as the Eleglide Coozy, it is even minimally lighter. The dimensions of the scooter amount to 120 cm in length, 124 cm in height and the handlebar with a width of 49 centimeters (~3.7 x 4.0 x 1.6 feet). The footboard measures around 15 x 50 cm (~6 x 20 in) and allows just about a parallel foot position in the direction of travel, although not quite as comfortable as our comparison device, the Eleglide Coozy. The handlebar sits at a height of 102 cm (~40 in) when viewed from the footboard.

The Xiaomi Scooter 4 Pro is controlled via a central control button under the small display in the center of the handlebar. Here, the scooter can be switched on and off, the riding mode can be selected and the light can be activated or deactivated. The display shows the speed, but not the kilometers driven. The range is displayed via a schematically depicted battery cell with 5 segments, each corresponding to 20 percent.
