Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Go: Your Ultra-Light Urban Commuter
Navigating crowded streets with a bulky scooter can make your daily commute feel like a slog. The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Go shifts the focus to portability, weighing just 13.7 kg and folding in seconds for easy stashing under desks or public transport racks. Priced at $399, its 450 W motor and 165 Wh battery promise a top speed of 20 km/h and a nominal 18 km range—enough for most short hops between home, office, and errands. However, its minimal suspension and modest battery capacity mean trade-offs in comfort and real-world range. In this review, we’ll break down how the 4 Go performs during urban rush hour, examine hidden compromises you won’t find on spec sheets, and help you decide if its lightweight design fits your lifestyle.
Real-World Range: Why 18 km Often Feels Shorter
While the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Go is rated for an 18 km range, real-world factors often reduce its reach. Its 165 Wh battery discharges faster under repeated acceleration, especially on inclines steeper than 5%. At city speeds around 15 km/h with occasional stops, expect closer to 12–14 km per charge. Cold weather, rider weight over 70 kg, and carrying a backpack can further cut distance by up to 20%. Planning multiple errands or longer commutes? You may need a backup battery pack or a mid-ride charging opportunity to avoid running out of juice.
Portability vs. Comfort: Trade-Offs for Daily Commuters
At just 13.7 kg and folding in under 3 seconds, the Xiaomi 4 Go tops portability charts with a score of 9.8. It slips onto buses, trains, and office storage nooks without hassle. However, it forgoes suspension, relying on 8.5-inch pneumatic tires that only absorb minor road imperfections. Riders on cobblestones or uneven sidewalks will feel every bump at 20 km/h max speed. If your route includes rough pavement, consider carrying basic shock pads or investing in handlebar grips to reduce jarring impacts on longer commutes.

Although the 4 Go is rated for an 18 km range, real-world urban testing—rider weight 70 kg, average speed 15–20 km/h, mixed terrain—yields about 12–14 km. Cold weather, inclines over 5%, and frequent stops can cut this further. Plan for mid-ride charging or add a portable battery pack if you need more distance.
With a 450 W motor, the Xiaomi 4 Go handles gentle slopes up to around 5% gradient at reduced speeds (10–12 km/h). Steeper hills will significantly drain the 165 Wh battery and impact range. Riders regularly tackling hills above 5% should look at models with at least 600 W motors and larger batteries for consistent performance.
Yes, the 4 Go has an IPX4 rating, protecting it against splashing water from any direction. It handles light rain and road spray, but avoid submerging the scooter or riding through deep puddles. After wet rides, dry the deck and folding mechanism to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.
