Scooter Xiaomi S1

[Gaetan Boren]

Ihave just achieved something like this, using MQTT and the discovery functionality, i was able to modify into a tool that will push the data into MQTT and generate the sensors in HA. It stays as a daemon waiting for the scooter to show up, and as soon as it can it will connect and start pushing data.

Linked python library not working on BLE > 91.

So newer scooters (S1 / Pro 2) not working.

I have done some research and found xiaomi implemented an sha1 encryption.

Here are some examples how to decrypt:

All of this makes a critical difference when the rider is a bigger person like me. Although Xiaomi advertises a 28-mile (45 kilograms) range, my actual range going from 70 percent battery to 2 percent was 7.39 miles, so theoretically a full charge could get me about 10.6 miles. If you weigh 130 pound (60 kg), then the 28-mile range may be achievable.

Out of the box, the only assembly required was attaching the handlebars to the steering column. This is done with four screws. The included screws are cheap and degrade as you are trying to screw them in. Even when everything was tight, the handlebars still wobbled a bit. I went to an Arden Hills hardware store that carries an array of parts. I bought six high-strength screws in the same size and also bought a medium-strength threadlocker to apply to screws for tightening and the assembly itself too to firm things up. With $16 in hardware-store parts, I fixed the issue.

The next project I want to tackle is swapping in tubeless tires for my scooter. My research revealed a common complaint, that the pneumatic tires often got punctured while riding. I have been on the wrong end of bicycle tire flats over the years, so investing $57 in tubeless tires seems like a smart strategy.

The best way to lock up this kind of scooter is with a big U-lock for your bike, but instead lock around the frame joint near the front tire and secure to a pole or bike parking. The Xiaomi Mi M365 Pro does not come with a simple digital lock. There is a Mi Home app, but you have to set China as your home location for it to work, and it asks for so many permissions that warning lights were going off in my head, so I just switched the scooter display from kph to mph and deleted the app.

It rubs me wrong that I have spent $16 and could spend an additional $57 in just parts for a brand-new scooter. I expected more. I did consider buying the upcoming Bird One or Ninebot Kickscooter Max, but neither is here today and there is no guarantee they will be here soon. Minnesota summers are short, and I want to enjoy riding to my meetings and down Nicollet Mall while I can. So far, I am reasonably happy with the compromise I made. My friend riding the scooter above spent over $2,000 on his long-range electric bike that rides like a motorcycle. Two months in, he loves it. Maybe I can learn to love mine, too.

During the evening of Day One, I charged up my Pro to 90 percent, then unplugged it for the night. I was paranoid about it catching fire if I left it charging all night. The Pro charges at a rate of about 68 W straight from the wall, according to a third-party app. So for the 474 Wh battery, it would theoretically take seven to eight hours to charge from 0 percent to 100 percent. Xiaomi advertises a charge time of eight to nine hours, so we would have to test more to know for sure. For comparison, a new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a 83.6 Wh battery and a 87 W charger.

I made it to the lake! After charging up from 57 to 65 percent at Freewheel Bike, I rode three-quarters around the lake before the rear tire went flat and the battery started to overheat. I immediately turned off the scooter and walked it to a coffee shop. A friend later picked me up in a car for a fossil fuel ride home.

The electric scooter market is nascent, so if you are pondering whether to buy one, I recommend holding off for a year or two until higher-quality scooters enter the market and battery technology improves. Scooters, like electric cars, will benefit significantly from solid-state batteries, but those may be a decade out.

A week after my initial two days on the scooter, I was ready to ride again. I had replaced the rear pneumatic tire with a tubeless tire, which required two people for the leverage necessary to work the solid rubber onto the 8.5-inch rims. The new tire seemed to affect performance, or the scooter was degrading overall. On flat ground, I was able to get up to only 13 or 14 mph, and inclines were more of a challenge.

To ride to Muddy Waters on Lyndale, I rode down Portland to the Midtown Greenway and took that trail to Lyndale. Halfway along the Greenway, the scooter battery overheated and I waited a few minutes to cool down before proceeding. I charged up by 5 percent at Muddy Waters and went back via the Greenway and up Park. I arrived home with 9 percent battery. The calculated full battery range for the trip was about 8.1 miles, 23 percent reduced from before. The trip was very flat, so I think the scooter is starting to wear down after just a few trips.

I found the M365 electric scooter was quite nice to ride, with the turning feeling both natural and responsive. For anyone who has ever ridden a bike, the basic operation is fairly similar and intuitive. My wife has never ridden a scooter before and it took her all of 10 seconds to become comfortable on it.

The base of the scooter is fairly narrow, though Xiaomi markets it as wide enough to fit two feet on it side by side. While I can do this, it feels a bit strange, and I prefer to ride the scooter the same way I ride my electric longboard, with my front foot pointed forward and my rear foot pointed perpendicular to the base. This position felt quite comfortable to me.

I did most of my initial riding on flat ground, where I was already impressed with the performance. I was a little worried though about how it would perform when I got to a hill. After putting off the inevitable, I finally rode to a part of town with more hills and put the pedal to the metal, so to speak. I expected to hit the first hill and feel the power instantly drop off.

The regenerative braking surely helps the rather small 280 Wh battery achieve such good range. The regen kicks in at a very low-level when you release the throttle, and engages even stronger when you pull the brake lever. If you pull the brake lever even further, you can engage the disc brake, but by timing your stops in advance and only using regen braking, you can achieve the best range possible.

The folding feature is actually quite handy both to make the scooter smaller and to move it around. The handlebar stem turns into a carry handle when the scooter is folded, allowing you to carry it like a briefcase at your side. At a restaurant or bar I can simply fold the scooter and stick it under the bench or out of the way in the corner.

Navigate a range of spaces with comfort and ease. Switch between three different speed modes, including Pedestrian (5km/h), standard (0-20km/hr) and sport mode (25km/h) with the press of a button. Simply double-click the power button to switch between modes and adjust your speed to your riding environment.

The Mi Electric Scooter Essential features a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS). When braking or releasing the throttle while riding, this system makes energy conversion more efficient, further increasing the battery life of your scooter.

The rear wheel operates with a large perforated brake disc - giving you braking power you can rely on. The front wheel is equipped with an E-ABS regenerative anti-lock braking system. When braking, the front and rear braking systems activate one after another, shortening your braking distance to ensure safe stopping.

Mi Electric Scooter 1S comes with a strong, safe 18650 power lithium battery with a large power supply that provides incredible performance - a full charge can take you 30 kilometres. 6 smart protection functionalities keep the battery safe and extend battery life.

I placed an order of Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter 1S and paid by card. The order then was confirmed by your company and I was told delivery would be in few days. Yesterday i got an email from your company saying the order was cancelled due to shortage of stock. Just now I noticed there were 4 shown available . What the hell it was going on? My son now was very disappointed as he had been waiting for few days. Very. Bad service!!
