Question about Xiaomi Essential

So. I've had the scooter for a while and haven't used it much, but now I'd like to give my review after my epiphany. The workmanship is very good. I find the software annoying, but it's still okay. To all those who buy it: Set up the app so that you don't get beeped for too long when you switch it on. So why did I use it so little? With my 85 kg and about 10-15 kg of backpack most of the time, it didn't even come close to 20... on straight roads. So it didn't feel good. If there was an incline, it was either pedalling or walking (be careful when pedalling. It can be nasty if you bump your ankle on the rear wheel). BUT: I have now pumped the tyres for the first time and the difference is gigantic. It feels good to ride and I don't feel too heavy or find it too weak for the price back then. I will definitely use it more often from now on. So if you think this thing can't do anything. First pump it properly and then give it a second try. Even right after delivery, my tyres were probably not pumped up enough and I avoided it. It still doesn't manage climbs at 20, but I don't expect that with its weight and only 250W of power.
