Question about Xiaomi 4 Ultra
brief question of understanding: The promotional video https://www.galaxus.ch/de/page/xiaomi-4-ultra-e-scooter-jetzt-bei-uns-erhaeltlich-28020 talks about a power of up to 940 watts. However, the article description says 500 watts. Does this mean that the power of the scooter has been reduced/adapted for the Swiss market? Many thanks for the explanation
Helpful answer
The peak can be higher. For example, 940 watt when driving up a slope. 500 watt continuous power.
As a comparison, one of the most powerful at the moment. The VMAX VX2 with 500W continuous power and 1300W peak. You can even see live in the app how many watts it is currently producing. Uphill, a high peak is certainly an advantage.
It all has advantages and disadvantages. I can imagine that the lower peak on this model is responsible for the extremely long range at the same max gradient of 25%. With 500Watt continuous power (maximum allowed in Switzerland) you are more than sufficient for the vast majority of climbs. Depending on rider weight, tyre pressure and outside temperature, roughly in that order ;)
The suspension and the long range together with the powerful engine are quite an achievement.
Continuous power is the keyword! The short-term peak power is significantly higher with all electric motors. Nothing is adjusted there. It doesn't matter anyway, the car only runs 20.
