scooters549–649 EUR

Origin

Series 4 is Xiaomi's 4th-generation consumer e-scooter line, succeeding the original M365 (2016), Pro / Essential (2018-2019), and Pro 2 / 1S / Essential refresh (2020-2021). '4 Pro' is the mid-flagship of the series. Xiaomi uses generation numbers for the Mi Scooter line. The 'Pro' suffix has historically denoted the bigger-battery, longer-range variant since the Mi Pro (2018). 4 Pro continues this convention. Series 4 global launch 2022. 4 Pro specifically available from Q3 2022 in EU. Mid-flagship consumer commuter — the sweet spot between budget (4 Lite) and full-flagship dual-suspension (4 Ultra). Designed for daily 5-15 km urban commute.

The verdict

+Strengths

Best price-to-spec ratio in mid-flagship EU segment — €549-649 for 446 Wh + 10" tires + dual brakes + IPX5 + app Cheaper than Ninebot Max G2 (€749) and Segway F65 (€799) at equivalent spec
10" pneumatic tires — dramatic ride comfort upgrade over 8.5" predecessors, especially over Tallinn cobblestones and Riga tram rails
Build quality feels tighter than M365 / Pro 2 lineage — less stem wobble, more solid folding mechanism
Xiaomi Home app integration — familiar UX for existing Mi ecosystem users (phones, smart home)
Wide parts availability — shares many parts with Ninebot Max G30, so brake pads / tires / cables are easy to source
Mass-market familiarity — every scooter shop in Baltics services Xiaomi, no exotic-brand support gap

−Weaknesses

Non-removable battery on standard 4 Pro — cannot swap for spare on long rides; cannot easily replace when battery degrades after 500+ cycles
Real-world range 30-40 km vs 55 km claimed — typical category honesty gap, but disappointing if you expected the marketing figure
Winter range halves below freezing — Baltic Dec-Feb rides drop to 18-25 km real
IPX5 is rainproof but not puddle-proof — battery compartment water ingress is a documented failure mode on units used in heavy rain / road spray
No GPS tracking — app-based locator only works via Bluetooth when scooter is near phone. Theft recovery requires aftermarket AirTag / 4G GPS tracker.
Heaviest in its price class (17 kg) — carrying up apartment stairs is doable but unpleasant
Stock tires not puncture-resistant — pinch flats and glass cuts are common in Baltic urban use
Theft magnet in Baltic capitals — most-stolen e-scooter model in Tallinn / Riga / Vilnius per police reports

Did you know

01Xiaomi Mi Scooters are manufactured by Ninebot (Segway-Ninebot) under OEM agreement. This is why Mi and Ninebot scooters share many parts (brake pads, tires, levers) and identical firmware architecture.
02Series 4 was Xiaomi's first consumer line with 10" pneumatic tires (vs 8.5" on M365 / Pro / Pro 2). Bigger wheels = much better ride quality over Tallinn/Riga cobblestones and tram rails.
03446 Wh battery is the legal sweet spot for EU consumer scooters — under 500 Wh keeps it in the 'personal mobility device' category without requiring extra certification in some markets.
04EU 4 Pro is firmware-locked to 25 km/h. China-market 4 Pro runs ~30 km/h. ScooterHacking community has documented firmware unlock procedures (CFW — Custom FirmWare) but unlocking voids warranty and is technically illegal on EU public roads.
05IPX5 protects against water spray, NOT submersion. Riding through Tallinn puddles in autumn rain is risky — battery compartment can take in water, leading to corrosion and eventual electrical failure 6-12 months later.
06Li-ion batteries lose 30-50% capacity below 0°C. Baltic winter (Dec-Feb at -5 to -15°C) drops real-world 4 Pro range from 35 km to 18-25 km. Many Baltic owners winter-store the scooter and ride only April-October.
07Xiaomi 4 Pro is the most-stolen e-scooter model in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius according to police PR reports. Apartment building bike rooms and cafe sidewalk parking are highest-risk spots.
08Xiaomi Home app has an immobilizer + alarm function — if scooter is moved while locked, it beeps loudly and disables motor. Bluetooth-only though (no GPS), so doesn't help with recovery if stolen.

Buyer’s notes

№ 01

Range claim of 55 km is optimistic — real-world expect 40 km in moderate weather, 25-30 km in cold (Reddit r/electricscooters + redditrecs.com aggregate, 1761 reviews / 766 discussions). Plan your commute against 40 km, not 55.
