What does this mean for riders?
The Xiaomi 1S has a charge time of 5 h, 37% below the 246-scooter average of 7.92 h — better than roughly 91% of comparable scooters.
The Xiaomi 1S requires about 5.0 hours to recharge its battery from empty to full. In practice, this means you can plug it in after your final ride of the day and wake up to a fully charged scooter, ready for the morning commute or weekend outing.
A five-hour charging window is well-suited to riders who have a few hours at home or in the office to top up their battery. If you plug in the scooter before bed or at the start of your workday, it’s fully charged by the time you need it again. For most daily commuters, this schedule fits neatly into a normal overnight or work-day routine without requiring extra planning.
Riders who expect to make multiple long trips back-to-back with little downtime may find the five hours a bit restrictive, since there isn’t enough buffer for quick turnaround charges. But for anyone charging overnight, during the workday, or between leisure rides, a 5.0-hour cycle offers a straightforward, hands-off recharge that keeps the Xiaomi 1S ready whenever you are.

Frequently Asked Questions — Xiaomi 1S
Based on data from 183 electric scooters on ScooterRank, the average full charge time is 8.15 hours. Charging times range widely from a quick 2.5 hours on top-performing models to up to 30 hours on large-battery scooters. Actual times depend on charger output, battery capacity, and environmental conditions.
The quickest charge times record 2.5 hours on three scooters: Acer Predator ES Storm Pro, Levy The Levy Electric Scooter and Vmax VX5 Pro LT. These models achieve rapid replenishment by pairing moderate battery sizes (around 600–800 Wh) with high-output chargers, reducing downtime for riders who need frequent use.
You can reduce charging time by using the highest-rated charger supplied (or an OEM-approved fast charger) to maximize wattage, charging in a moderate temperature range (15–25°C), and keeping the battery maintained per manufacturer guidelines. Avoid charging in extreme cold or heat, and ensure connectors stay clean for efficient power transfer.
