The X7 is an electric scooter of the KIXIN model series. Not only does this scooter belong to the excellent price/performance ratio scooter category, but with its weight of only 12.5kg it also classified as an ultra-light scooter. There are several reasons why it deserves recognition and attention. It offers a removable battery installed directly inside the steering rod, thanks to which it is also resistant to splashing water coming from any direction (IP54). You will be pleased to see three brakes available – an electric one at the front, a mechanical disc brake at the rear, plus a classic foot brake. You can choose between 8.5-inch or 10-inch, air-filled wheels that contribute to comfort and a pleasant riding experience.

Being lightweight and compact, this scooter is perfect for practical everyday urban lifestyle. Its range of 20 km and top speed of 25 km/h classify it among scooters mostly suitable for short city trips. In terms of prices, the X7 and H8 models are comparable to Xiaomi scooters. However, they offer better technical specs than Xiaomi products and, especially, larger wheels – up to 10 inches that make riding incomparably more comfortable than the competing models.

This model is suitable for short city trips of up to 7-10 km daily. The range stated by the manufacturer may be 20 km, however it is influenced by multiple factors, such as road condition, inclination, rider’s weight and, last but not least, his/her riding style.

We should keep in mind that discharging the battery to zero on a regular basis damages it and shortens its serviceable life. However, when it comes to this scooter, there is no need to despair. Thanks to the sophisticated design in the form of a battery installed directly inside the steering rod and its easy removal, the range can be extend whenever needed. How come? Simple. All you have to do is to get a second battery and take it with you fully charged in a backpack as it only takes a few seconds to have it swapped, no skills of a service technician required. 

You can easily, quickly and, most importantly, intuitively fold the entire scooter and unfold it back in a few seconds time. Thanks to its low weight, you can carry it up the stairs without troubles or load it into a car or a tram. You will appreciate its compact dimensions once you fully fold the scooter, being able to take it with you to the office or restaurant where it will not bother anybody, which means you won’t have to leave it locked in the street. You can also easily fit it inside the trunk of a regular car with enough space left for other necessary luggage. When it comes to “practicality”, it is certainly necessary to mention that as one of few scooters it is resistant to splashing water from any direction, which was made possible by the already mentioned clever placement of the battery inside the steering rod. Meaning, in case of wet roads or light rain, you do not have to leave it at home and be left at the city’s mercy without your favourite transport means.

The HX X7 electric scooter is supplied with 36 V and 5 Ah battery, corresponding to 180 Wh of stored energy, and is capable of a 20 km range per single charge that only takes 3 hours. We should not forget that this range depends on circumstances that definitely include road condition, inclination, rider weight and, naturally, his/her riding style. That is why we would rather rely on slightly shorter trips not exceeding 7-10 kilometers. The scooter is driven by a motor installed directly in the front wheel’s hub, delivering 350 W power, which is plenty enough for normal riding around a larger city. Since this model features as many as three brakes, you will definitely not have to worry about not being able to stop your scooter safely. Contributing to reliable riding are the electric brake at the front, mechanical disc brake at the rear and also the classic foot brake. With this model, you do not have to worry about wet roads or light rain as the scooter is resistant to splashing water coming from any direction. However, it remains true that one needs to drive carefully. The road in front of you is clearly visible thanks to the scooter’s lighting system. At the same time, you are properly visible to other road users. You can choose between 8.5-inch or 10-inch air-filled wheels. With both wheel sizes, we recommend avoiding large potholes to prevent a flat tire. At first, the air-filled wheels might seem this scooter’s weakness. However, the opposite is true as they represent an effective and reliable solution compensating for the lacking suspension. If you want to enjoy more comfort, you should definitely go with larger wheels. These 10-inch wheels are a big advantage compared to Xiaomi models that only offer 8.5-inch wheels.

The scooter is made in classic black finish, or possibly in elegant black-silver combination. This manufacturer’s models look very simple, lightweight and sleek. The cabling is only visible in one small area and might not be noticed at all by less attentive observers. As a result, they might even think this is an “ordinary non-electric” scooter. The rear fender not only looks functional but it is precisely what it is. You can definitely throw away any fear of your pants or calves (in case of women) getting muddy while riding. The design of the folding mechanism matches the rest of the scooter body and looks very clean and elegant. This model offers 8.5-inch or 10-inch, air-filled wheels that make riding the scooter comfortable. This is especially true with 10-inch wheels, which compensate for the missing suspension better and that is why we surely recommend them. They help filtering out vibrations and bumps. However, you should rather go around any large potholes to avoid getting a flat front or rear tire. The beautiful, elegantly thin step-on board is an interesting feature hinting the clean look of non-electric scooters since the battery is cleverly hidden in the steering rod.
