Australian price and specification comparison using dated catalogue observations, labelled range estimates and state-specific device checks. Confirm current seller prices, stock and delivery.
Choose the Pure Air5 Pro for more range, the higher 120 kg rider limit and lower carrying weight, but it is a run-out model that was out of stock at our last dated check, so only buy it if you find clearance stock with an Australian warranty. Choose the Xiaomi 6 Lite if front suspension matters more than range or you want a model an Australian seller listed in stock at our last check.
Xiaomi's cheapest current AU commuter, with front suspension for short flat trips. Sits inside the 25 km/h legal class.
Pure's mid-tier Air5 commuter with more range and power than the base model. Inside the 25 km/h legal class.
Speed uses the Australian supplied configuration where verified; overseas modes are not implied. Manufacturer range claims are shown separately from ScootFinder planning estimates. A TBC value is left blank by the source rather than inferred.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Lite: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Pure Electric Air5 Pro: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
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 Pro is the better of the two at 17.2 kg versus 18.1 kg, though either still requires a deliberate two-handed lift.
The Xiaomi 6 Lite has 25 mm dual-spring front suspension. The Pure Air5 Pro has no suspension and relies on its 10 inch pneumatic tyres for comfort.
The Pure is rated to 120 kg, compared with 100 kg for the Xiaomi.
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.
