Australian price and specification comparison using the live ScootFinder catalogue, with realistic range estimates and state-dependent legality.
Choose the Pure Air5 for the lower current price, 1.9 kg lower weight, 120 kg rider limit and slightly larger range allowance. Choose the Xiaomi 6 Lite if front suspension matters more and you can confirm Australian stock, price and warranty.

Pure's cheapest current commuter, light and water resistant for short flat trips. Inside the 25 km/h legal class.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Lite: Fits the 25 km/h legal class, but rules still vary by state. Legal to ride within limits in 6 of 8 states and territories. Not permitted for private use in NSW or NT.
Pure Electric Air5: Fits the 25 km/h legal class, but rules still vary by state. Legal to ride within limits in 6 of 8 states and territories. Not permitted for private use in NSW or NT.
Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.
The Pure Air5 is lighter at 16.2 kg versus 18.1 kg for the Xiaomi, making it the better choice for occasional stairs or car loading.
The Xiaomi has the advantage on paper because it includes front suspension. The Pure has no suspension and relies on its 10 inch pneumatic tyres.
ScootFinder estimates about 21 km for the Pure and 18 km for the Xiaomi. These are planning estimates, not controlled ScootFinder road-test results.
ScootFinder has not physically road-tested these two units for this comparison. Published specifications come from the sources below. Real-world range figures are clearly labelled ScootFinder estimates and prices or availability should be confirmed before purchase.
