Xiaomi MiJia QiCycle Electric Folding Bike vs X-Treme Trail Maker High Performance Electric Bike XB-300li

The Xiaomi MiJia QiCycle can fold in half for an easier storage of the device.

The Xiaomi MiJia QiCycle only weighs 32 pounds (14,5 kgs), which is significantly lower than some other electrical bikes such as the X-Treme Trail Maker at 51 lbs or the Watseka XP at 72,5 pounds.

The battery life of the Xiaomi MiJia is quite high for a bike in this price category. On a full charge, the electric bike is capable of reaching a range up to 28 miles (45 km). For comparison: a more expensive electric bike such as the X-Treme Trail Maker is only capable of reaching ranges up to 25 miles (40 km).

The QiCycle features a little display on the handlebar of the bike that shows you the most important information, such as battery percentage, speed, calories burned and distance traveled.

There are four energy presets available on the MiJia QiCycle: Fitness, Power-saving, Balanced and Extra power. You can easily switch between these modes via the built-in display. The Fitness mode for example will allow you to reach a higher speed, while Power-saving will limit performance in favor of a longer battery life. You can easily choose between these different modes on the fly.

The QiCycle can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth to connect with Xiaomi's companion app. Things such as battery status, statistics of your bicycle trips and navigation are all present in the companion app. The companion app allows you to quickly view all these extensive different aspects of the MiJia QiCycle, which isn't possible on the included screen.

Battery is changeable very easy and still hides in the bike. You can get an extra Battery too and change it on the tour.

The maximum speed of the X-Treme Trail Maker is about 18 - 20 miles per hour (32 km/h) when using the battery alone, and that speed can be further increased by pedaling.

The bike itself can be adjusted quite well to the size of the rider. The seat is completely adjustable and doesn't require any tools.

The 300W motor doesn't produce much noise and the electric bike overall gives you a typical rider sensation.

The maximum capacity weight is specified at 350 pounds (158 kg), whereas other electric bikes in a similar price category only allow a maximum capacity of 250 pounds (113 kg).

The XB-300li features a 20 - 25 mile range (32 - 40 km), which isn't at the top of the line compared to some other devices such as the Xiaomi MiJia QiCycle, but is still very decent for similar bikes in this price category.
