Xiaomi has introduced the Electric Scooter 6 Lite to global markets, positioning it as the most affordable entry in its latest Electric Scooter 6 series. Sitting below the standard Scooter 6 and the higher-end 6 Max, the 6 Lite is aimed squarely at short-distance urban travel rather than longer commutes or high-performance riding.
At its core, the Electric Scooter 6 Lite uses a Hall-effect brushless motor rated at 300W for continuous output, with a peak output of 500W when additional power is required. This setup allows the scooter to reach a top speed of 25 km/h, which aligns with speed limits in many regions. Xiaomi also states that the scooter can handle inclines of up to 15 percent, making it suitable for mild hills commonly found in city environments.
Power is supplied by a 216 Wh ternary lithium battery. Under Xiaomi’s testing conditions, the scooter can travel up to 25 km in Standard mode when ridden at 15 km/h. Switching to Sport mode, which allows the full 25 km/h top speed, reduces the estimated range to around 20 km. These figures place the 6 Lite firmly in the category of last-mile or short-trip mobility rather than extended daily commuting.
To address comfort on uneven roads, Xiaomi has equipped the scooter with a dual-spring front suspension offering 25 mm of travel, paired with 10-inch pneumatic tires. This combination is designed to absorb small bumps and surface imperfections without adding excessive weight. Braking is handled by a front drum brake and a rear electronic anti-lock braking system, a configuration that prioritizes simplicity and predictable stopping behavior.
Lighting and visibility are basic but functional. A 2.5W front headlight illuminates up to 15 meters ahead, while a rear brake light flashes during deceleration to improve visibility to traffic behind. Riders can choose between three riding modes: Pedestrian mode limited to 6 km/h, Standard mode capped at 15 km/h, and Sport mode allowing the full 25 km/h.
A small display mounted between the handlebars shows speed, selected riding mode, and remaining battery level. When paired with Xiaomi’s companion app, riders can view additional data such as estimated range, trip history, battery condition, and tire pressure, as well as lock the motor remotely and adjust energy recovery settings.
Structurally, the scooter uses a high-strength carbon structural steel frame rated for riders up to 100 kg. It weighs 18.1 kg and is intended for users between 140 cm and 200 cm tall, within an age range of 16 to 50. Water resistance is rated at IPX4 for the body and IPX6 for the battery, offering basic protection against splashes and rain. When folded, it measures 1140 x 512 x 555 mm.
