Xiaomi muss 10.000 eScooter zurückrufen – Auch aus Deutschland

Während bei uns gerade die Vorfreude auf die neuen eScooter auf dem Höhepunkt ist, muss Xiaomi mehr als 10.000 eScooter zurückrufen!

Xiaomi rät von der Nutzung der betroffenen eScooters ab!

Der Grund der Rückrufaktion liegt an einer Schraube, die sich im Faltmechanismus befindet. Diese weist wohl Mängel auf und kann sogar brechen. Aus diesem Grund rät Xiaomi von der weiteren Nutzung des eScooters ab.

Ihr Statement mit Anweisungen dazu lautet derzeit wie folgt:

Ander Stelle sei auch noch einmal kurz erwähnt, dass diese Modelle von Xiaomi keine Zulassung für den deutschen Straßenverkehr bekommen werden, da sie nicht die Zulassungsvorgaben erfüllen. Mit ihren 25 Km/h sind sie zu schnell.
