The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 has been added to the company’s global website. It launched alongside other versions like the Electric Scooter 6 Lite and the Electric Scooter 6 Max. When comparing it to the 2025 Electric Scooter 5, there are both improvements and some drawbacks.
Enhanced Performance
The Electric Scooter 6 from Xiaomi boasts a stronger motor, providing a typical power of 400W and a peak power of 800W. In comparison, the Electric Scooter 5 features a standard power of 350W with a peak of 700W. Similar to its previous model, the scooter can reach a maximum speed of 25 kph (around 16 mph), and users can select from three different riding modes: pedestrian, standard, and sport. An added benefit is the larger 12-inch tubeless tires, which are 2 inches bigger than those on the 2025 model, improving riding comfort. Additionally, the updated scooter now includes spring suspension at both the front and rear for a smoother experience.
Trade-offs in Features
Despite these enhancements, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 does come with certain trade-offs. It features a smaller 360 Wh battery instead of the larger 477 Wh battery found in its predecessor. While this adjustment shortens the charging time to eight hours, it also reduces the maximum range of the folding scooter from 60 km (approximately 37 miles) to 45 km (about 28 miles). Furthermore, this new model is significantly heavier at 26.3 kg (around 58.0 lbs), compared to the 20.1 kg (about 44.3 lbs) weight of the earlier version. Another notable change is the new kicktail design on the Electric Scooter 6. Both models can handle inclines of up to 18%, feature a mix of drum brakes and E-ABS, and have an IPX5 water resistance rating.
Pricing and Availability
The release date and pricing details for the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 are still pending confirmation. For reference, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 is priced at €399.99 in Europe (currently €379.99 at Mi Store DE).
