What do you get your spouse or significant other when they refuse to ride a Onewheel? This has been a problem of mine. We have two Onewheels but my wife refuses to ride with me because she feels unsteady and has this irrational fear (okay maybe it is a justified fear) of falling and injuring herself.

So when I ride my Onewheel, she will usually ride a bike. I’ve been looking into an electric scooter for some time and I found this scooter, the Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter that is well reviewed and is actually one of the models that is used by the Bird Scooter Rental service.

Regardless of what you think about the Bird Scooter Rental service’s questionable business practices, Bird chose this scooter as a rental for good reason. It is durable. The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter is a solid electric scooter that can travel 18 miles on a charge and has a top speed of just over 15 miles per hour.

The Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter has travel specifications similar to the XR and would be a great companion for anyone unwilling to ride a Onewheel but hoping to join the ride.

Currently, as of this posting, there is a great deal on Amazon where you can get $200 off this companion to the Onewheel (the sale has ended).

Check out Amazon for current pricing of this solid scooter.
