Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max specifications and in-depth review

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max

Manufacturer: Xiaomi

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max is a full-sized adult electric scooter built around a foldable frame that makes it practical for commuters and everyday riders alike. Weighing in at 22,300 g, it rolls on 10-inch pneumatic tires with suspension on board, which together help smooth out uneven surfaces during daily use. A dedicated smartphone app rounds out the feature set, giving riders a connected experience beyond basic controls.

Under the hood, the scooter draws on a 1000W motor capable of reaching a top speed of 25 km/h and tackling inclines up to 22°, with a maximum load capacity of 120 kg. Its 477 Wh battery delivers up to 60 km per charge, though a full recharge takes around 9 hours. The scooter includes both front and rear brakes, regenerative braking, front and rear lights, a battery level indicator, and holds an IPX5 ingress protection rating for resistance against water spray.

Pros
  • Foldable frame makes it straightforward to store or carry when not in use
  • Both front and rear brakes provide stopping control across the full length of the scooter
  • Regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration, contributing to the 60 km maximum range
  • Suspension and 10-inch pneumatic tires work together to absorb road irregularities during riding
  • IPX5 rating means the scooter can handle rain and water spray without damage
  • A dedicated smartphone app extends control and monitoring beyond the onboard display
Cons
  • A 9-hour charge time is lengthy, making overnight charging effectively a requirement
  • The battery is not removable, so the entire scooter must be brought to a power source for charging
  • At 22,300 g, the scooter is notably heavy, which can make carrying it up stairs or through tight spaces difficult
  • A single motor configuration means no redundancy or the extra traction that dual-motor setups can provide on difficult terrain
Who is this for?

This scooter is well matched to adult urban commuters who need a practical last-mile solution on paved or moderately uneven surfaces. The 60 km maximum range comfortably covers daily city commutes without requiring mid-day recharging, while the foldable frame and front and rear lights make it usable across different times of day. Riders who occasionally encounter wet weather will also benefit from the IPX5 water resistance rating, and the suspension paired with 10-inch pneumatic tires suits those who regularly cross roads with minor imperfections. With a 120 kg weight capacity, it accommodates a broad range of adult riders.

Who is this NOT for?

Riders looking for an off-road or high-performance experience will find this scooter limiting, as its 25 km/h top speed and single-motor setup are not suited to demanding terrain or fast-paced riding. The 9-hour charge time combined with a non-removable battery makes it impractical for users who cannot leave the scooter plugged in for extended periods or who need quick turnaround between rides. At 22,300 g, it is also a poor fit for anyone who needs to carry the scooter frequently, such as those navigating multi-floor buildings without elevator access, and it is explicitly not designed for children or younger riders.

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max has a foldable design intended for adult use, standing 1271 mm tall with a width of 1192 mm and a total weight of 22,300 g. It rides on 10-inch pneumatic tires and features built-in suspension for added comfort over varied terrain. The scooter does not include a seat, keeping it in the traditional stand-up format. Visibility is covered by both front and rear lights, while an IPX5 water resistance rating provides protection against water spray in wet conditions. A dedicated smartphone app is supported, and the scooter is not designed for children.

Performance:

motor power 1000W
top speed 25 km/h
has dual motors
climbing angle 22°
has a rear brake
has a front brake
maximum weight capacity 120kg

The scooter is powered by a single 1000W motor — it does not use a dual-motor configuration — and reaches a top speed of 25 km/h. It can handle inclines of up to 22° and supports a maximum rider weight of 120 kg. Braking is handled by both a front and a rear brake, giving the rider control at both ends of the scooter.

Battery:

charge time 9 hours
maximum distance per charge 60 km
has a battery level indicator
Has regenerative braking
has a removable battery
battery size 477 Wh

The scooter is equipped with a 477 Wh battery that supports a maximum range of 60 km on a single charge, with a full recharge taking approximately 9 hours. The battery is not removable, so charging must be done with the scooter in place. A battery level indicator keeps the rider informed of remaining charge, and regenerative braking is supported, allowing the system to recover some energy during deceleration.

Final Verdict

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max is a well-specified adult commuter scooter that makes a convincing case for everyday urban use. Its 60 km maximum range and IPX5 water resistance give it the kind of practical durability that suits regular city riding across varying conditions, and the combination of suspension, pneumatic tires, and dual braking adds a level of ride quality and control that many commuters will appreciate. That said, the non-removable battery and lengthy charge time mean it rewards riders with a predictable routine more than those who need flexibility on short notice. For adult commuters seeking a foldable, connected, and capable daily scooter, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max delivers a solid and well-rounded package.
