Xiaomi 8,5 palcový pneumatík Skladacie Electric Scooter (Youth Edition)

I'm using it almost every day to commute to work. It's a 10km trip on cycling paths, and I can recharge the scooter at the office.
I'm over 1000km and the battery seems as good as it was when new, the tires are good and the handlebar has just a bit of wear. It's way faster than all other cyclists, and I'm not sweating to go to work. It's also very fun to drive, if you are just a bit fit you can make it jump up and down really high steps, and the structure seems to support my "extreme" riding mode really well.
I've used the scooter in rain, snow and ice with no problem (surely the tyres will not help you to stay on the road).
It is also fairly compact when closed, and easy to lift. It fits also in my Miata trunk!
In 10 months I have already repaid the price of the scooter saving fuel and car wear (here in Italy gasoline price is insane).

Only some little cons:
- It really suffers the slopes (and I'm 65kg). If your place is hilly, no way.
- I have destroyed the rear fender, putting the scooter in the car trunk with the handlebar locked in closed position. Laying on the side, the force was applied longitudinally to the fender, and the support broked. I'm waiting the replacement, but I will have to solder the backlight wires because they are cutted.
- You have to periodically fasten the bolts on the front, to reduce the squeaks and the tolerance backlash of the joints.

Anyway, this is really a good product. And definitely not a toy, but a real personal transportation device.

Compre este producto con un cupón descuento que encontré y la verdad es que estoy encantado con la relación calidad-precio.

Ya había indagado mucho en la red sobre las características del patinete, y la marca (Xiaomi) me inspiraba mucha confianza. Lo cierto es que el producto ha cumplido con mis expectativas (y estas eran bastante altas) puesto que es un producto bien diseñado, bien construido y con buenos materiales (la batería que es una pieza clave es LG).

Era la primera vez que hacía una compra en Gearbest y al comprar un producto tan caro estuve dudando muchísimo pero mi experiencia ha sido perfecta de principio a fin. Pude seguir el envío online y este tardó mucho menos de lo previsto (unos 15 días) por lo que mi nerviosismo desapareció rápido.

Compra altamente recomendada, tanto por el producto en sí como por la web.

Suggestion

Habría sido perfecto tener una mayor autonomía pero la edición Youth esta pensada para abaratar costes sacrificando kilómetros de uso.

The range seems to be way shorter in reality that it says.
With original pumped tires it goes fast. I mean really fast, but only for a moment (2-5 minutes after full charge).
- >>> After changing to full (tubeless) it looses A LOT of speed and … well a lot. - NOT RECOMMENDED

The rear tire popped 3 times in 250km (repaired it myself, and there were new holes in new places later) and front just once. (The front one popping was the reason for tire change to tubeless, but I think of going back to original ones.
Worth having the APP to connect to, just to adjust Cruise Control to yourself. Also there appered an update to the scooters software so also you should get it.

All in all a great product, just use it carefully, do not let it 0% discharge and avoid screws on the sidewalk and high curbs.

I received my (big) parcel exactly 36 working days after ordering. It was well packed and assemble it only took 5 min. I didn't have to pay custom fees. The product matches the description and specifications. I am now using it to go to work or to the fitness center and it works perfectly. It climbs the small hills without problem and I have an real autonomy of about 15km at full speed (20km indicated when fully charged, full speed is around 20km/h, I reached 22km/h last day). I am leaving in Denmark and for the moment it works fine even on wet roads.
I hope it will work a long time now!

Suggestion

For the price I have any!

The bike was packed nicely but with no protecting plastic bag around it so dust from the cardboard was all over the bike. Not that big of a package I suspected.
Assembling the bike was 4 screws with thread lock and tool included. Don’t over-tighten the soft screws, that what the thread lock is for. After the 4 screws it works flawless. Tires was pumped up and ready to roll. Easy to charge. Styling is nice.
Quality feel is very good and easy to use. A bit heavy to carry long distances but you are able to roll it like a travelling bag besides you.
Battery not tested yet due to the snow on the ground.

Suggestion

Shipping took more than 2 month, that made us even wanting it more. Less battery than original version.
