Electric scooters

Which Xiaomi electric scooter should you buy?

All three Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 models are built within Ireland's e-scooter limits. Here's how they differ, what the law asks of you as a rider, and how to choose.

Best all-rounder

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Pro

The one most commuters should look at first. A 400W motor with 1000W of peak power gets you up hills that slow cheaper scooters down, while suspension at both ends and wide 10-inch tubeless tyres take the sting out of rough roads and potholes. Lights and turn signals are built in.

  • Best for: daily commuting and hilly routes
  • Trade-off: at 22.4 kg, a heavier carry up the stairs

Smoothest ride

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max

The comfort pick. It shares the 5 Pro's motor power and hill-climbing ability, and adds hydraulic front suspension with a spring at the rear, which irons out broken surfaces and cobbles better than springs alone.

  • Best for: longer rides on mixed or poor road surfaces
  • Trade-off: the highest price in the range

Lightest and most affordable

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5

The easy one to live with. At 20.1 kg it's the lightest of the three, with the same 10-inch tubeless tyres, front suspension and battery size. Its 350W motor is happiest on flatter routes, so it suits town riding more than steep climbs.

  • Best for: flat commutes and carrying it indoors
  • Trade-off: less power on steep hills

The Scooter 5 range at a glance

All three are limited to 20 km/h and quote a range of up to around 60 km. The choice comes down to hills, comfort and weight.

Common questions

Are electric scooters legal in Ireland?

Yes. Since 20 May 2024 you can ride an e-scooter on public roads, cycle lanes and bus lanes, provided it's limited to 20 km/h, has a motor rated at 400W or less and weighs no more than 25 kg. All three Xiaomi Scooter 5 models are within those limits. Footpaths and pedestrianised streets are off limits.

How old do you have to be to ride one?

18. The minimum age rose from 16 to 18 on 2 October 2026.

Do I need a helmet and hi-vis?

Yes, both have been compulsory since 4 September 2026. The helmet must be fastened, and the hi-vis must cover at least the front and back of your torso. The Xiaomi Commuter Helmet is made for scooter and bike riders.

Do I need insurance, tax or a licence?

Not for a scooter that meets the legal limits. Scooters that go faster, weigh more or have a more powerful motor can't be used on public roads at all.

How far will it go on one charge?

Xiaomi quotes up to around 60 km for all three models, measured in ideal conditions. Expect less in cold weather, into a headwind, on hills or with a heavier rider. A full charge takes about 9 hours with the charger supplied, so overnight charging works well.

Can I ride in the rain?

Yes, within reason. The IPX5 rating means the scooter resists water spray from any direction, so wet roads and showers are fine. Avoid riding through deep standing water, and let it dry before you charge it.

Can I bring it on the bus or train?

No. E-scooters are banned from public transport from October 2026, so plan your route to cover the whole journey on the scooter.

How do I keep the tyres in good shape?

Tubeless tyres are far less prone to punctures, but they ride best at the right pressure. A portable pump such as the Mijia Compact Portable Electric Air Compressor stops automatically at the pressure you set. For peace of mind, a Xiaomi Tag tucked out of sight helps you find the scooter if it goes missing.

How quickly will my scooter arrive?

Order before 2pm on a working day and it's delivered the next working day anywhere in Ireland. Delivery is free on orders over €100, and you can pay by card, PayPal or Klarna.

Specifications and features vary by model and software version, and range figures are measured by Xiaomi in ideal conditions. This page describes the range in general — the specification on each product page takes precedence. Road rules are summarised from the Road Safety Authority and are not legal advice.
