Xiaomi has formally introduced the Electric Scooter 5 Plus in the UK, and a wider European rollout is anticipated shortly. This new model, which sits between the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Pro and the Electric Scooter 5 Max, provides daily riders with a balance of performance, comfort, and affordability.
UK Availability & Price
Xiaomi’s official UK online store is now selling the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Plus for £459.99.

Should You Buy the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Plus?
The Xiaomi 5 Plus is ideal for riders who want:
- A smoother, more comfortable ride (thanks to the 12-inch tires & dual-spring suspension).
- A balance between affordability and premium features.
- A durable e-scooter for city commutes with up to 60 km range.
If you want maximum power and hill-climbing ability, the 5 Max might be worth the extra £40. But for most urban riders, the 5 Plus strikes the perfect balance.
