Xiaomi Scooter 4 Lite Gen 2 Electric Scooter Overview
The Xiaomi Scooter 4 Lite Gen 2 is a smart, light, and affordable electric scooter built for everyday urban use. With a top speed of 25 km/h and a peak motor output of 500 W, it delivers just the right amount of power for commuting, school runs, or short-distance errands. The scooter is perfect for city riders who want a reliable and easy-to-handle ride. Thanks to its 221 Wh lithium battery, you can ride up to 25 km on a single charge, making it suitable for most urban trips without range anxiety.
This second-generation model builds on Xiaomi’s reputation for simple design and dependable function. It stays within e-scooter speed laws in Europe and other regions and includes all the basic safety features you’d expect from a trusted brand. For a lightweight scooter, it offers plenty of value—especially if you’re upgrading from walking or public transport.
Lightweight and Travel-Friendly
One of the key features of the Xiaomi Scooter 4 Lite Gen 2 is its portability. Weighing just around 15 to 16 kg, it ranks among the lightest e-scooters in its class. Whether you’re climbing stairs, hopping on public transport, or loading it into a car trunk, the scooter remains manageable. Its three-step folding system is quick and easy to use, collapsing the scooter into a compact shape that fits well under desks, in office corners, or inside small closets.
The folding latch feels sturdy, and the handlebar locks securely into place when folded. This means you can carry the scooter without worrying about moving parts shifting unexpectedly. Riders living in apartment buildings or tight spaces will appreciate how little room it takes up.
Durable Tires and Ride Comfort
Despite not having a suspension system, the 10-inch air-filled pneumatic tires do a solid job of smoothing out rough surfaces. These tires absorb shocks from bumpy streets and curbs better than solid rubber tires, making the ride more comfortable. They also help with grip, which adds to the scooter’s overall safety on slick pavement.
The wide anti-slip deck offers enough space for both feet, allowing riders to maintain a natural stance while cruising. Even taller or heavier users will feel stable on the deck, which supports riders up to 100 kg (220 lb). Although the scooter doesn’t have suspension, the combination of large tires and solid frame design creates a surprisingly smooth experience for daily riding.
Performance and Climbing Power
With a rated motor output of 300 W and a peak output of 500 W, the Xiaomi 4 Lite Gen 2 isn’t built for racing—but it handles most city needs well. The acceleration is smooth and steady, with enough power to get moving quickly in standard or sport mode. The scooter also handles hills with inclines up to 15%, which is good enough for most urban inclines and short ramps.
You can switch between three ride modes: pedestrian (6 km/h), standard (15 km/h), and sport (25 km/h). Each mode offers a balance between speed and battery life. Pedestrian mode is great for shared pathways or crowded areas where slow riding is safer. Sport mode, on the other hand, gives you maximum speed for direct commutes.
Safety and Braking
Safety is well addressed with a dual braking system. The front brake uses an electronic E‑ABS (anti-lock) system that also captures regenerative energy. The rear drum brake provides solid mechanical stopping power. These two systems work together to deliver smooth and fast stops—even when braking suddenly.
When you hit the brakes, the rear LED taillight flashes to alert those behind you. Combined with front and side reflectors, the scooter remains visible in low-light conditions. The 2.1 W headlight lights up the road ahead for 2 to 8 meters, enough for night rides on city streets or lit bike paths.
Dashboard and App Integration
The Xiaomi Scooter 4 Lite Gen 2 has a simple and bright LED display on the handlebars. It shows your current speed, ride mode, and battery level. The display remains clear in daylight and dims at night for better visibility.
You can also pair the scooter with the Xiaomi Home app via Bluetooth. This gives access to features like motor lock/unlock, ride statistics, firmware updates, and battery health info. The app is easy to navigate and helpful for riders who want more data on their trips or prefer locking the scooter digitally when parked.
However, the scooter does not include features like cruise control, GPS, or NFC unlocking. These omissions are understandable given the lower price and entry-level positioning. Riders who need advanced features may want to look at Xiaomi’s more premium models.
Battery and Charging
The battery offers a maximum range of up to 25 km under ideal conditions. Most users can expect a range of 18–22 km, depending on rider weight, terrain, and mode selection. Charging takes about 8 hours with the standard charger. While not the fastest, overnight charging works well for most users who ride during the day and recharge at home.
The battery is protected by Xiaomi’s Smart BMS (Battery Management System), which includes six layers of safety: overcharge, over-discharge, temperature protection, short-circuit prevention, overvoltage, and overcurrent. This helps extend battery life and ensures safer use over time.
Real-World Use and Practicality
In real-world use, the Xiaomi 4 Lite Gen 2 delivers a smooth, quiet ride with just enough power for everyday tasks. It excels in short-range trips—commuting to class, running errands, or riding to work. It’s not made for long-distance travel or steep mountain paths, but it performs well within its design limits.
You can fold it up, carry it inside shops or offices, and charge it easily at home. The wide deck, smooth tires, and clean braking system make it accessible even for beginner riders. It’s ideal for teens, young professionals, or anyone needing a reliable second mode of transport.
Final Verdict
The Xiaomi Scooter 4 Lite Gen 2 is a well-balanced entry-level scooter. It covers all the essentials—speed, range, safety, app control, and portability—without overcomplicating things. While it doesn’t include cruise control, suspension, or advanced anti-theft tech, it gets the basics right. The build is solid, the tires are large and forgiving, and the price is fair.
If you’re a city rider looking to reduce car trips or make your last-mile travel faster and easier, the Xiaomi 4 Lite Gen 2 is an excellent option. It’s light, cleanly designed, and practical for everyday use.
Whether you’re heading to work, class, or the grocery store, this scooter gets you there safely and smoothly—no fuss, no noise, just convenience on two wheels.
