Xiaomi’s new electric scooter will dominate the market

Xiaomi seeks to change everything again thanks to its new electric scooter that culminates the model range at the top. In the run-up to the Mobile World Congress, the Chinese firm wanted to show its technical capabilities for the market for these urban vehicles and it has done so with an Ultra variant that is positioned above the hitherto known Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro.

As the first differential appendage: its aesthetics. The Scooter 4 Ultra incorporates a double suspension scheme, in which the design of its front wheel stands out particularly. With this, Xiaomi incorporates into its range one of the most comfortable electric scooters for daily use, since it eliminates a large part of the potholes or roads in poor condition.

In addition, the electric model incorporates new DuraGel tires made puncture-proof and with specific self-sealing. As was the case on the Pro model, both wheels have a diameter of up to 10 inches, but ground clearance has increased with the addition of the aforementioned suspensions. The brakes are still a drum for the front axle and an electric one for the rear.

However, where the Scooter 4 Ultra places greater emphasis on differentiating itself from other models in the range is in its mechanics. Xiaomi has incorporated a new electric motor that is much more powerful than the one found in the Pro model since it reaches 500 W of nominal power and 940 W of maximum power. By comparison, the scooter below it boasts a maximum of 700W.

This means that the weight of the set also increases to 25 kilos (the Pro places its total at 16.5 kilos) and can face slopes of up to 25%. However, despite the aforementioned increase in power, Xiaomi’s electric scooter continues to have a maximum speed of up to 25 km/h, since it depends on current regulations that limit these vehicles to such a figure.

Likewise, where the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra reigns in its electric rage per charge, which stands at 70 kilometers, thanks to a new, higher-capacity battery. By comparison, the Pro model did the same with a range of up to 45 kilometers. The time it takes to recharge said battery will be 6 and a half hours to go from 0 to 100% through a domestic outlet. As a curiosity, Xiaomi states that this autonomy has been measured with a weight of 75 kilos on a flat surface and driving at a constant speed of 15 km/h.

All these specifications together mean that the Xiaomi electric scooter can carry weights of up to 120 kilos on its own; a figure well above what has been stipulated so far by other models (generally around 100 kilos).

In another order of things, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra incorporates four specific driving modes depending on the area through which it is going to move: pedestrian, standard, sport, and sport plus. Each of them will change the acceleration and reactions of the electric model. All this will be reflected in its small digital screen located on the handlebars, which has not changed compared to other models in the range.

The top of the range of Xiaomi electric scooters will be available for purchase in Spain starting next April for a price of 999.99 euros. The Pro model establishes its price at 799 euros, but with an important difference in terms of its specifications, which makes the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Ultra a great favorite for lovers of electric scooters.

A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar.

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023.
