With rocketing gas prices, compact electric vehicles have been really popular recently. They sure are practical for getting you from point A to point B. But if you want something a bit “extra”, then check out the new Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra.
One of the most popular e-scooter makers in the world, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra is currently the most feature-packed and powerful scooter the company makes — if the name didn’t make it obvious already.
One of the biggest issues of all Mi scooters in the past is bumpy rides, which the Scooter 4 Ultra addresses with its dual suspension system. Placed in front and back, they rescue vibrations and jolts when riding, especially on poorly maintained roads and streets.
For a better ride, the scooter also uses an upgraded 10-inch Xiaomi DuraGel Tire that can apparently self-repair thanks to its jelly-like layer.
As for what’s under the hood, the Scooter 4 Ultra has a 940W max power output with a top speed of 24km/h with a 25% max incline. You can enable the S+ (Sports Plus) mode to go from 5km/h to 25km/h in just 4 seconds.
It also has a long battery life. With a 561.5Wh lithium module, the scooter has a range of 70km. It comes with a 124W adapter that can fully charge the scooter for only 6.5 hours.
As for the interface, it has four modes: there’s the aforementioned S+, then there are the S, D, and Pedestrian modes.
The best part is, the body is sturdy enough that the load capacity has been increased to 120kg. It’s now also IP55 waterproof so you can ride through a puddle of water without worries.
Select markets can get the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra for a price of EUR999 (~Php58,500). Its availability details in the Philippines are yet to be known.
