      Revealed during June 23 2016 in Beijing, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said that Xiaomi is not a smartphone company, but we are a technology company. Why not enter into the transportation industry? Sounds good? Hence, the MI QiCycle Electric Folding Bike was unveiled. This is the eco-friendly, two wheel buddy that can bring you places with the help of the QiCycle App.

      The power adaptor and pedal are there as well too, including the manual.

      Eco Mode

      Electrically assisted human force pedalling 50% of the energy consumption. This uses low power and has long mileage. Rider and bike share 50/50 energy to get to the destination.

      We were able to receive a bonus package after 3 weeks of purchasing this item, inside are the utility seat mount and the water jug holder mount.























      Conclusion:


      After being able to fully test this vehicle, we can sure say that Xiaomi really did invest in something other than just smartphone, this Qi Cycle Bike venture of theirs should take off especially now that mother earth is being polluted with so many carbon dioxide and other contaminants. Its high time we take care of it by using an eco-friendly vehicle like the Qi Cycle, it not only helps protect the environment but it keeps us fit as well.


      I do highly recommend this vehicle to those who love sports and those who love the environment. Together let us help Xiaomi send the message across to help save the environment.


      This awesome bike is available at Xiaomi Online Shop China for 2999 RMB.
