The user is looking for a carry bag for the Xiaomi Scooter 5 Plus, but finds that most bags are designed for standard-size scooters. They need a bag specifically designed for larger scooters.
I'm writing this because I couldn't find many (or any) detailed review of this model. I was looking for a scooter to move quickly over ~12 km trips, avoid traffic, and still feel stable and solid, given how dangerous city riding can be, without spending a fortune. I ended up choosing the Xiaomi Scooter 5 Plus, mainly because of its 12-inch wheels (vs. the standard 10”). After a month of heavy use, I can confidently say that the larger wheels make a real difference. They’ve helped me avoid several falls when going over potholes, road reflectors, and poorly maintained pavement. I’ve been using it a lot, and the savings on gas and taxis are noticeable. Compared to the Xiaomi Max, it feels more stable, though less smooth. ✅ Pros 1. Large scooter, ideal for riders over 1.75 m (5'9"). I’m 1.81 m (~6 ft) and very visible on the road (I almost look 2 m tall on it), which definitely helps prevent accidents. 2. Feels solid and well-built, not toy-like at all. 3. 12” wheels: for me, the biggest advantage. They handle small potholes, road imperfections, manhole covers, and reflectors that could stop smaller-wheel scooters dead. ❌ Cons 1. Heavy (≈27 kg / ~60 lb). Not an issue while riding, but very noticeable when carrying it up or down stairs. 2. No rear suspension. The big wheels absorb some impact, but you’re not “floating”—the Max is clearly better in this regard. 3. Spare parts and accessories can be harder to find due to the non-standard size, which leads to my question below. 🙏 Advice needed Does anyone recommend a carry/transport bag for large scooters? Most of what I find online is designed for standard-size scooters. Any additional experiences or tips are very welcome. Thanks!
