The Mini 4 pro<\/a> is another electric scooter from Speedway\/Minimotors that has just insane performance packed into a small and lightweight package. It weighs in at just above 16 lbs and has a top speed of 28+ mph with a distance per charge just around 40 miles. You heard me right 40 miles on a single charge. However, it will cost you about 2-3 times more than those normal scooters that take you 5-7 miles per charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you get 5 times the distance per charge at around 2-3 times the speed<\/strong>, and then we haven\u2019t even gone into those juicy details and features that will blow those last mile solution electric scooters away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us not wait any longer, I say we get down and dirty with our Speedway mini 4 pro review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speedway Mini4 Pro Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A neat little package shows up to my door, I sign it off and put it straight on the floor in our living room. Like a child on Christmas, I just rip that box to shreds, I did have the time to notice it was very well packed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In there I find this 36 lbs little monster of an electric scooter<\/a>. We had around 50% battery at delivery so I had to charge it for almost 2-3 hours before taking it out for its first spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off we did a little jump test to see how the suspension was working. Check image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most scooters today the Speedway mini 4 pro is equipped with a hub motor with 500 watts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It utilizes lithium-polymer batteries instead of lithium-ion<\/del>. Due to li-po batteries degeneration rate and how they act if one cell is failing they’ve chosen to upgrade to li-on LG MH1 3.2Ah cells, configured as 14S4P which means there are 14 cells in series & 4 series in parallel which gives us a total of 56 battery cells in the pack. I got upwards 34 miles on a single charge and that\u2019s just insane in my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rode it for an entire day trying to empty that battery and during that time I did top out at 27 mph with my 176 lbs. Someone lighter might go slightly faster but it is fast enough for my taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the Speedway IV<\/a> which has 2 air-filled tires, the mini 4 pro only has an air tire mounted on the front. The back wheel is actually solid rubber. However, it does have a rear shock system which helps a lot with reducing shocks and it handles potholes and uneven terrain very well. There is a front shock system too which increases comfort even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lightning system enables night riding and is not compatible with the cheaper scooter models. It has two headlights that cast a beam up to 25 feet in front of you, you\u2019ll feel very comfortable riding this thing at night time. You get a brake light with it too but I did miss those turn indicators you see on the Speedway IV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You get to choose from different ride modes making it last longer or give you more power, there are a lot of other things you can configure with the onboard panel too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both brake systems worked<\/a> fantastically. I used the regenerative electric brake the most since that is what I am used to already. But having that drum-brake really gives you a lot of comforts knowing that if you have to slow down fast in order to evade danger, you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
