News about Xiaomi cars come out almost every once in a while, but this time it’s real, it’s just a go-kart. Want to buy the Xiaomi No. 9 balance scooter for 1,949 yuan? Now add 2999 yuan, and you can get a go-kart at the same time. On August 2, Xiaomi Mi 9 balance car and kart modification kit officially started pre-ordering.
Xiaomi Mi 9 balance scooter has always been favored by young people and hated by the transportation department. Most people think it is a very good means of transportation, while others think it is just a toy and not suitable for the road. Now, it has launched a kart modification kit that greatly enhances its toy attributes and becomes a new toy for old naughty kids and children.
Xiaomi Kart uses the Xiaomi No. 9 balancing car as the rear wheel to provide power. The No. 9 balancing car uses two 350W motors and has a cruising range (check transaction price | model details) of 22 kilometers. In terms of speed, it is definitely not as good as a real kart, so don’t expect too much from its performance. However, it is not entirely necessary to say that there is no control fun at all. After all, it is driven by a motor, and the maximum instantaneous power can reach 2100W. After installing the kart kit, the starting acceleration G value can reach 0.7G, which is more powerful than ordinary kart pavilions.
The control of Xiaomi Kart is also simpler, and the steering ratio of 2.1:1 is more friendly to the driver. A standard kart has a steering ratio of 1:1. Like F1 racing, this is one of the reasons why karting is known as the cradle of F1 drivers. However, this kind of steering ratio has certain requirements on the driver's arm strength. Ordinary people will have sore arms after driving for a long time. The 2.1:1 adopted by Xiaomi Kart lowers the driving threshold while retaining some racing feel as much as possible. And it also has a handbrake, so it can theoretically drift, but its body rigidity is naturally far inferior to that of a standard go-kart, so it depends on your preference.
Xiaomi Kart provides three power modes. The sports mode can reach 24km/h, the normal mode is 18km/h, and the novice mode is only 8km/h. As for reversing, you can double-click the brake pedal to switch forward/reverse. .
This car is suitable for people of all ages. The body length can be lengthened and the steering wheel height can be adjusted to accommodate drivers with a height of 130-190cm, and the load can reach 100kg. The maximum size of the kart after unfolding is 1383/822/600mm, the length, width and height before unfolding are 1004/822/459mm. The total weight is about 40.6kg, and it can be placed in the luggage compartment of the vehicle.
Editor’s comment: It should be noted that according to laws and regulations, Xiaomi karts cannot be driven on the road and can only be driven in closed venues. In fact, the No. 9 self-balancing scooter is not allowed to drive on the highway, which poses a huge safety risk. Therefore, parents who buy Xiaomi karts must do a good job of supervision, otherwise even in the community, children with a speed of 18km/h will become ferocious cannonballs.
