| The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Ultra is launching soon |
If you’ve been waiting for Xiaomi to drop its most powerful personal electric vehicle yet, the wait is almost over. The Chinese tech giant has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest lineup of urban mobility solutions, and sitting at the very top of the roster is a beast of a machine: the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Ultra.
As cities get denser and commuters look for alternatives to gridlocked traffic, Xiaomi is betting big on power and endurance. While the company has already quietly listed the standard Electric Scooter 6, the Lite, Pro, and Max models on its global website, it’s the "Ultra" variant that has the enthusiast community buzzing.
The Barcelona Debut
Xiaomi is gearing up for a major showcase at the Xiaomi Launch February 2026 event, set to take place in Barcelona on February 28th. While the event will likely feature a host of other gadgets—smartphones, wearables, and smart home devices—the Electric Scooter 6 Ultra is positioned to be a headliner.
The existence of the Ultra has been a poorly kept secret in tech circles. Recent updates to Xiaomi’s event page have confirmed earlier rumors, but perhaps the biggest leak came not from the company itself, but from eagle-eyed retailers.
What Makes the "Ultra" So Ultra?
Until Xiaomi takes the stage in Spain, we are relying on specifications that were leaked in early February via retailers like Qatar-based shopintertec.com. If the listings are accurate, the 6 Ultra isn't just a minor upgrade; it is a complete reimagining of what a commuter scooter can be.
Here is how it stacks up against its predecessor, the 6 Max:
Raw Power
The most significant jump is under the deck. The Electric Scooter 6 Ultra is rumored to house a motor with a 500W rated power (peaking at a whopping 1,200W). This translates to a staggering 45 Nm of torque. For context, that is serious grunt for a scooter, allowing riders to blast off from a standstill and maintain speed on urban roads with ease.
Range and Battery Life
Range anxiety is a thing of the past with the 6 Ultra. It is expected to pack a substantial 585 Wh battery, offering riders an assistance range of up to 75 kilometers (~46.6 miles) on a single charge. That means you could commute across town for several days without needing to plug in.
Built for the Real World
Unlike some scooters that stick to perfect pavement, the Ultra is designed to tackle the chaos of actual city streets. It features 12-inch tubeless all-terrain tires, making potholes, cobblestones, and gutter tracks far less intimidating. To ensure the ride stays smooth, Xiaomi has equipped it with suspension at both the front and rear.
Safety First
Stopping power is just as important as acceleration. The 6 Ultra reportedly features a dual disc brake system complemented by E-ABS (electronic anti-lock braking system). Plus, with an IPX6 water resistance rating, a sudden rain shower won't leave you stranded.
A Look at the Hardware and Weight
If you are familiar with the Max version, you’ll feel right at home with the Ultra’s tech. It is expected to feature a vibrant 3-inch TFT screen on the handlebars, displaying your current speed, battery level, and riding mode clearly.
However, all that power and durability comes at a cost: weight. Constructed with a carbon steel frame, the Electric Scooter 6 Ultra tips the scales at a hefty 33.7 kg (~74.3 lbs) . This is not a scooter you’ll want to carry up five flights of stairs daily, but for those with a ground-floor storage option or a garage, it’s a worthy trade-off for the performance.
Price and Availability
The burning question is always, "How much?" According to the leaks, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Ultra will retail for €799.99.
While you can browse the technical details and product images on the retailer site—shopintertec.com—official orders won't open until after the Barcelona event on February 28th.
The Verdict
Xiaomi is clearly aiming to dominate the premium end of the e-scooter market. With the 6 Ultra, they are offering a vehicle that blurs the line between a casual commuter gadget and a serious piece of personal transportation. Whether you're a daily commuter looking to cut down travel time or an enthusiast seeking the latest tech, the Electric Scooter 6 Ultra looks ready to deliver.
