GREAT REVIEW EVER!!!! I like how u've explained everything in a simple way.... Thank you 😊
My first Pro got stolen with roughly 5000km's on it, a loss of about 10% in range. Since I loved it so much, I decided to buy the Pro2. 1000km's on it already, without a single flat. I have faster scooters as well, but the Pro will always be the perfect city cruiser scooter.
Agreed. I rode my pro 2 for 2500+ kilometers without a flat, or anything rattling! Best city scooter for sure!
Xiaomi Scooters were great 4-5 years ago. Still got mine, carry it all the time in my boot and use it occasionally. But since 2017 the competition has moved on, whereas Xiaomi improvements seem very incremental, to say the least. Excellent review as always!
Thanks for sharing and I agree when I reviewed the first model it was great but the competition like NIU for example and offer better scooters I wish Xiaomi would bring us something a little more or new in this segment.
whomst is best now
Its the Toyota of scooters, lots of parts and super reliable. i have the original pro and its been great.
@@TechtabletsI have a question is the scooter water proof I mean dose water goes in the battery?
It has for splashes... but inside has protection for water..saw myself😁 @@F.edits17
Helpful review! Where have you filmed it?
Thanks for the review. The first thing I did on my Pro 2 was switching from 8.5 inch to 10 inch tyres. They're WAY easier to replace by hand without any tools, I've only had 1 flat tyre in 6 months of daily use. Since I'm in the EU I'm limited to 25kmh / 15.5mph, so the only difference would be extra power when climbing, which I can also have by adding an extra battery. So in my case, as long as there are parts available for the Pro 2, I don't see any reason to upgrade to the Pro 4.
Thanks for sharing
how are you going to add the battery?🤔
@@shaypkettim I actually found a store that makes replacement batteries, they currently have a 36V 19000mAh kit for M365/1S/Essential/3 which replaces the original battery and includes a lower bottom to fit the bigger battery, and they're also developing a 36v 28000mAh kit for the Pro/Pro 2, which is 225% the capacity of the Pro2 original battery. No custom firmware needed, uses the original charger, gives more power when going uphill (but same top speed), but for me, the cherry on top is not needing to charge it daily!
@@wettuga2762mind sharing which one is it? Got a pro2
Thanks mate, great review 👍👍🔥
Thanks for watching!
Hello. Good review. If you buy it in the US can it be charged off in international locations like a laptop can due to an internal adapter to the different voltage etc? If not, do they sell batteries big enough to take it to recharge in the middle of nowhere? Lastly, safe in the rain w those wires you showed exposed? Good luck in the World Cup match to come!
What's the best part of this video? I'd say the sceneries. Just so beautiful.
Thanks
Good honest review bro I think the scooter Pro 2 is the best with anti puncture tires.
Be careful with hard solid tires as they will later cause battery pack issues from the vibrations without the air filled tires.
@@Techtablets I prefer my pro 4 to my mates pro 2 by quite a lot . Admittedly the improvements are minor but in another way the comfort is miles better than pro 2. I be interested how long battery lasts in let's say a years time.
Breaks seems to be really solid, awesome news 👍
Yes it breaks well, slightly better than the earlier models.
Thanks Chris for the review and i couldn't agree with you more on your conclusions.
I'm sticking with my PRO2 😇
Doesn't really make sense does it the price up from the Pro 2 to 4. Both are good scooters! But the extra cost just I feel isn't justified.
@@Techtablets yeah, without the improvement shock absorbers, that Price point isn't justified. the New 10" tires are nice but it makes the scooter very tall and more oriented for tall users that's it.
Very true.
Segway g30 is in the same price… so i pick that one. Money is a big issue here. ✌🏽
Pro 2 is a lot better than 4/4 pro simply because firmware can be modified one way or another, while 4/4 pro are unmodable so far. After riding a properly configured Xiaomi scooter there is no way back to the stock firmware, and it's not necessarily about speed.
I had one and sold it they are good scooters but for about same money they have others with bigger motor and better hills power but all in all it’s good was my first scooter but as times change technology advances and other competitors come out with better rides
They are great first scooters but yea many other models with better power for climbs.
Hello I have MI e scooter pro 4 model. Now scooter QR code is missing. I can’t connect with mobile application yet. I want fix this problem. Please help me
Nice review. I agree with comments though, Xiaomi has kind of stagnated when it comes to scooters. Their main restriction is due to the fact they basically abide by European and other regions laws capping power and speed at 15.5mph. This means that essentially all their scooters can't really compete with others offerings at similar prices and they can only really manage incremental upgrades on their current business model. In my experience for a decent hill climbing experience you need at least a 500W base motor with 1200w peak. Also travelling at 15.5mph is just not a great experience when using a scooter full time to commute in an urban area. After making the transition to scooters of 500w+ / 22mph+ you realise how slow, inconvenient and restricted these lower powered machines are when trying to get places. Also other competing manufacturers have benefited from offering easier self maintenance and upgradability etc which for me is much more important than marginal upgrades.
Fully agree with you the other brands are doing more in this space pushing high wattage but are limited still to local EU law of 25kph. And cruising at that speed it feels so slow compared to others I have tested like yourself so limited. These scooters have defiantly stagnated, 4-5 years ago when I reviewed the first it was new and exciting, sadly that has faded.
Agreed it slow but (and that's if 22mph+ riders respected the trafic régulations) with 15,5mph cap you're allowed to use bike lanes and avoid some traffic lights instead of burning them. I sometimes wonder if i should jailbreak my PRO2 but honestly, winning 1.5-2mph isn't worth it despite riding 5miles to commute one way.
The main issue with Xiaomi is scooter is their unwillingness to add dampners...
Yes, adding s form of damper or shocks would defiantly help the ride since they want us to run 40-50 PSI too which makes the tires very hard.
@@luchdvilleneuve6384 You should flash your pro 2. You get it to 21mph / 34kmh, and much more torgue and power to go uphills, lower cruise control time, and u can disable that stupid KERS (it still working when braking). Its totally different scooter after flashing. And about battery life, after flashing it didnt drop that much, maybe like ~4km overall on one charge, i still get 26-29km range when going full speed. And you can set D mode to old settings, so u can use it if you want cruise 15.5mph/25kmh. If u are going to flash it, make sure it is compatible with flashing, if the scooter is too new, or the firmware (?) is too new, it doesnt work
@@joel3187 yeah im thinking about it but on the other hand im thinking about the increase of police controlling riders in here and 6-7 min gain per way to work isnt worth the fines....🤣🤣
Looks nice. With update this scooter can or not increase speed?
If I am not mistaken 4 Pro is made by Segway, so there is a reason they are using tires filled with some kind of protective foam.
BTW, great scooter for pretty much everyone under 100 kg. I personally am a bit over 100 😇and I drive ETwow GT, but I always liked the quality, weight, portability of these Xiaomi Scooters.
Yes ninebot or Segway and under the Xiaomi name.
All Xiaomi made from Segway!!
Xiaomi don't have factory that makes e-scooters...
I really don't know why they don't use planetary geared hub motors for better torque / hill climbing capability . There would be no need for higher wattage at 15.5 mph and range would be extended .
Must be the cost I would say and maybe extra weight?
Lot's of extra weight. Weight is their key point IMO.
@TechTablets I asked you in the past, but can you review the Kugoo M4 Pro ? 600€ for a lot of futures. Seems the best value for money out there.
No plans to buy it sorry
@@Techtablets Thanks
Segway Ninebot KickScooter F40E or Xiaomi 4 Pro?
Thank you👊🏾
No problem 👍
This is the most common scooter you see all over London, they look funny to me now, like toys.
Oh the other models are even smaller and when I ride and rest the big powerful scooters these feel like little toys!
What is the difference between pro 4 and Ultra 4 ?🤔
Chris will you consider Moto edge ultra in the future!
Okay if I get sent one for sure but not going to buy it.
I got the pro 2 with 10 inch tyres and I wouldn't replace it for pro 4 for double the price.
No it really doesn’t make sense to. The extra cost isn’t justified.
I like how he pushed off with his left foot and his right foot on the back of the scooter. Something like a skateboard
I used to skateboard a long time okay so I guess it's from that.
@@Techtablets NICE 👍
for me xiaomi would be perfect if it had a wider and taller handle bar
Would be nice if it was wider yes.
you can buy stem extender which raises height by about 5cm
Not for me I bought pro2 because of it is compact size
@@beyourselfusion Exactly this. You can always extend, but never shorten without destroying the original. Weight and dimensions are key selling points if Xiaomi scooters.
The backlight wiring is a joke and was severed within 2 weeks of riding it but other than that it's done me pretty well. Got 260km on it already and still riding well.
That bad? No issues with my wiring. But overall I find the G2 Max from Ninebot much better.
25 km/h is quite slow though. Give us at Least 30/35.
Love Xiaomi products
They are good.
The CCP loves you back.
I still have my Pro 2 since 2021, will rather wait for Xiaomi to have a e-scooter with suspension
Personally, I prefer Xiaomi because it's light for what it has, and having suspension will definitely make it heavier. But I'd agree they probably should have ordered one suspended model at Ninebot/Segway for the lineup, something in 20-25 kg range.
Very cool!
It is thanks.
How have the tires hold up since this review? Just bought the Pro 4 on a pretty good black friday deal (I still have to wait for its arrival tho), while appreciate the little quality of life improvements it seems to have from the Pro 2 but with the tires seems to be the most exciting for me with the tubeless self sealing nature of them since I have had a LOT of problems with the previous models tires so curious if their claims are accurate or it's just typical company marketing talk?
So far so good I still have it and not a single flat but I run 40 PSI and also top it up each week.
I got a 200 pounds off bargain in UK. My mate has pro 2 and I prefer pro 4 better tyres. I only had for a month but I feel confident more on pro4 than my mates pro 2. I don't like hard tyres.. hard tyres should only be used if you got superb suspension to counter balance that comfort. I do wish I could up the speed just another 5 mph ... I'm sure there's some cheat to do that but finding out correct procedures without ruining battery etc etc is hard to find. I always wanted a wheely bag so if it rains I can wheel bag it home from work 😂
This is basically a Segway ninebot f30/f40 except they are ipx5! This is still ip54? Xiaomi just haven’t moved on enough and are basically just the backer behind Segway ninebot now. I agree with some of the comments what we should be seeing here is a better than ip54 rating, 500 watt motor with 1000 peak, indicators would be nice at back and on handlebars and maybe upgrade the plastic bottom to metal finally! That would be great but no 🤦🏽
Yes IP54 I believe still, that would be perfect with side handle bar indicated like the rent models and more power. The plastic bottom can crack if hit around the screws so metal would also be better!
5:24 bro in Germany we are happy if you are allowed to drive 20km...it's not allowed more than 20km/h
Yeah that's crazy to slow. 25 or 30 max should be the law
Bro where did you buy Xiaomi electric scooter pro 4,because when ever I go to their site they just show about the scooter
Xiaomi sent me this review unit
.. Bro than how can I buy this scooter.
You can in the EU
Can this be rooted? Custom firmware and custom kernels? Maybe a mod to increase the screen nits.
No, that's why for me this scooter doesn't exist 😉
No spare parts also
Can someone tell me the diameter of the air valve on the wheel? Mine burst, I want to order new one, but don’t know the dimension.
My rear light is very dim. When I turn the scooter on, it flahes the rear a lot brighter than actual breaking or having the lights on. Any clues? My scooter is new, barely month old
Sounds like a bad LED light. I would get it fix and replaced under warranty.
Would buy one today if available in uk
They are
Are those tires are air filled?
Hi, yes the yare but puncture resistant according to Xiaomi.
Monorim At present, I also want to discuss and study scooters with the majority of bloggers and users for mi4 pro models and other kinds of models. With excellent ideas, monorim will give you free products you want
Don't buy this scooter, it's mainboard firmware is not modifiable, it's a completly different design compared to everything before Mi 4. You are going to get a much better experience with a Pro 2 and a custom firmware, it will be not only faster (if you want it to) but also it will have many other quality of life features created by the community (DPC, brake/throttle curves, cruise control modes, motor start speed etc.). You can make it safer, smoother, drive longer and be easier to use.
Ninebot have made way better scooters for Lime I don’t get why Xiaomi don’t just sell one of those models
That would be nice if they did!
Can the speed be hacked for at least 30km/h?
Not sure if it can sorry, never tested.
u can easily hack the system to get it to 30+ km/h but that wouldnt be legal in many countries in eu
Oh you can with this model?
no it's not possible anymore
It's not possible on 4/4 pro. You can probably build one though using pro 2 electronics.
Well, many will say Xiaomi is not good as competition today..
I disagree, i think Pro, Pro 2,Pro 4 and in some measure 1S are amazing scooter if you are looking for a city ride scooter that is not extreme expensive..
They work great, they are reliable, app is good, and spare parts are everywhere and they are cheap..
Do not buy their Xiaomi 3,or 3 Lite, or 4 models, they are shit in every way..
If you want a decent speed scooter, with good range, big enough stand for legs, and long life, while being decent with price buy PRO 2,that is still the best scooter in my eyes..
I heard its best practice to keep it above 50% charge
Yes and don't leave it fully charged for long periods. Only fully charges it when you are going to use it very soon. Time sitting about at 100% lowers the top capacity of the cells over time. This is why people only fully charge Tesla's just before a trip. But daily charge to 80%
@@Techtablets thanks I didn't know that
Can i buy it in sweden
?
0:25 the what now
Deck bro
@@seansmith6473 Bro...
🤷♂️
@@seansmith6473 if you put it on double speed 😏
In my honest opinion if you get a e scooter turn of cruise control.
You’ll have better throttle control
Making the handling way better
Yes true and in the wrong hands cruise control can be dangerous.
Why my xiomi electric scooter pro 4 has only 18 top speed
EU law limits it.
@@Techtablets how I could make it fast?
Moj 4 pro ne može Ici brze od 10km na sat u sport modu i bez te neke app
If you ride an electric scooter you are a certain type.
I prefer ebikes 😁
Don´t spend your money in this product. It is ridiculous the lack of power, to go up less than 10% slopes.....yes less than half the official 20% . My weight is 90kg. Only 35km range....not 45 or 55km. It is ridiculous !! Xioami refund policy does not accept refund to opened packages......
I have experience with Segway i2 and i180 (30.000km), and inmotion wheels V8 (5.000km) and V12 (3.000km). My V8 inmotion wheel cost almost the same it is a 800w engine, and does almost all slopes I need.
damn handy things, but we aren't allowed to use them lol
Which is so silly as these models are soooo tame! Slow and not a all powerful!
@@Techtablets yeah, just weird, electric bikes are perfectly fine, but this... Nope
Which is so stupid as I can ride my bike over the 25km assisted limit up to 40+ km/h!
@@Techtablets yeah it truly is! And we have great devided bike lanes
They have to change that silly law!

My ETWOW GT Sport would Fly up that hill... 25 kph escooters SUCK !
Comment
Thanks
If you get flat... WHERE DID YOU FIND A NEW TIRE 9.5 inches not 10 inches..,...??????😠🤬
This is the biggest fault Xiaomi do till today...
Flats are issues but you can’t find spares?
@@Techtablets Yes! Here in Greece no-one has this New tires!!
It's not 10 inches!! 10 inches for example from Ninebot Max, isn't feet!! It's big!!!
These are 9.5 inches!!! Not 10 inches!!
Completely new tire!! No other scooter has the same tires!!
Ah i see yeah exclusive to Xiaomi it seems.
@@Techtablets to explain it more property...
It is 7 inches motor!! Not 6 inches, not 6.5 inches....
6 inches are Xiaomi 365 S1 - Pro 2, zero 10, vsett 9 - 10+, Blade 10, Kaabo Mantis 10...
6.5 inches are Segway Ninebot Max g30, zero 11, vsett 11+ Kaabo Wolf Warrior - King GT, RION
7 inches are 3 scooters all market... 1) Dualtron X - X2, 2) Segway GT1 - GT 2, and Xiaomi pro 4 ...
everyone is driving 30km/t anyway, so yes the law should be changed. We the people decide, not the f..... up bureaucrats in the EU
30km/h would be great and allow at least 500W not 250W. Climbing with only 250W is rubbish.
