The range of products being marketed by Xiaomi is expanding rapidly. Smartphones, wearable devices, segways, action cameras and drones from a Chinese manufacturer attract many. First of all, I like the excellent balance of quality, price and the level of the proposed technologies. Another area that has recently attracted the attention of Xiaomi is electric bicycles. The company has invested considerable resources in the development of innovative "smart" electric cars at the level of startups Yunmake and iRiding. The results are already there and they are impressive.
The presentation of the Xiaomi Mi Qicycle electric bike Folding Electric Bicycle was held on June 23. Although the information is presented rather sparingly, the general impression about the new product is only positive. The model comes with a 250 W / 36 V power unit and a Panasonic 18650 lithium-ion battery, complete with 20 2900 mAh batteries. This resource provides the electric bike the ability to overcome on a single charge up to 45 km in economy mode (at a speed of 20 km / h). The time required to fully charge the battery is 3 hours.

You can choose one of 4 modes: Fitness ("Fitness"), Energy Saving ("Power-saving"), Optimal ("Balanced") and Extreme ("Extra power").
The total weight of the frame with an aluminum frame is 14.5 kg. If, in order to save battery power, the cyclist overcomes part of the distance in the combined mode (pedals + engine), the 3-speed Shimano Nexus 3-speed hub speed control system is very useful and comfortable.
Minimalistic, extremely practical design, durability and ease of construction, the ability to fold the bike in half and send as needed in the trunk of a car - all these moments are very useful on the road.
And here the prefix "Smart" begins to justify its value - the system optimizes the output power, taking into account the effort expended by the cyclist and in real time determines how much electricity the engine needs for optimal performance in the selected mode and creating the most comfortable driving conditions.
To determine the speed of movement, position on the map, calories burned, mileage, charge level in real time, engineers supplied Qicycle with an on-board computer, a connection with which can be maintained using a smartphone via Bluetooth and a special application.
A front light is provided to illuminate the road ahead and a red stop signal for visual contact with the rear vehicles.
At the presentation, it was reported that the Xiaomi Mi Qicycle Folding Electric Bicycle had already passed the certification procedure according to European standards and fully complied with the requirements of reliability and safety. The declared value of the bike, presented in 4 colors, is 2999 yuan ($ 455). But when the novelty will be available outside of China and what the final price will be, say, for the Russian consumer, is still unknown.
