Australian price and specification comparison using the live ScootFinder catalogue, with realistic range estimates and state-dependent legality.
Choose the Pure Air5 Pro for more range, the higher 120 kg rider limit and lower carrying weight. Choose the Xiaomi 6 Lite if front suspension matters more than range and you find confirmed Australian stock at a better price.
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.
Manufacturer range claims are shown separately from ScootFinder planning estimates. A TBC value is left blank by the source rather than inferred.

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.
