The mountain bike that has served for more than five years has been "old and can't do it" in the past half year, so we have plans to change a couple. However, we have been struggling with the question of whether to continue to use mountain bikes or to replace the most popular electric vehicles. Coincidentally, a colleague from the same office bought a currently popular Xiaoniu electric vehicle M1S, so he exchanged a meal for a week of electric vehicle experience. Now let's talk about the experience of using Mavericks this week and whether I finally chose mountain bike or electric bike, hoping to help my friends who are as tangled as me.

1、 Appearance design

Because Maverick borrowed it from his colleagues, he didn't have anything to pack or assemble. He looked directly at the protagonist. I have seen that electric cars are quite large, so even if they are called Xiaoniu, I didn't expect that they would be so small. The calf M1S is 1640mm long, 657mm wide and 1099mm high.

The coworker's calf is red, which is quite eye-catching wherever it is placed. Especially, the surface also adopts the effect of polishing and painting, which is brighter when there is light. But I think this red is too bright. I specifically checked the Mavericks official website. In addition to red, there are yellow, blue, white and grayish black to choose from. I think maybe blue should look better.

After talking about the outline and details, the tires of the Maverick M1S look a little mini like the fuselage. Even if it runs, it will not lose any of those electric cars with big tires. After riding for a period of time, the tread pattern of the tire has worn. We often see riders riding electric bikes on the roads of cities, reminding them that safety is the most important and caution is the most important.

The front wheel of the Xiaoniu M1S uses oil pressure disc brake, and the rear wheel uses drum brake. Oil pressure disc brake has larger volume and better heat dissipation than drum brake. As for why not use oil pressure disc brake on the rear wheel, please explain it in your message. According to the official introduction, at 20km/h, the dry braking distance is 1.8m, and the wet braking distance is 2.5m. According to my actual riding experience in recent days, the official data is relatively accurate. The reason why it is relatively accurate is that I didn't dare to test the accuracy of extreme braking by example. Safety comes first, ha ha.

Mention the side brace. When the side brace is put down, Xiaomi M1S will adjust the gear of the electric vehicle to P gear. Several times when I sat on the top, I forgot to lift the side brace up, and I still couldn't start it. I thought there was something wrong with the electric vehicle.

The whole body of the Maverick M1S doesn't have much decoration. The only conspicuous thing is the front headlights. The headlight is a common round design. There are three horizontally arranged bulbs in it. When one of the three bulbs is on, it is the low beam. When the three bulbs are on together, it is the high beam. One circle outside is the daytime running light, but I don't think it is practical because the brightness of this light is hard for passers-by to notice in the daytime, and they will turn on the light at night. In particular, there is no way to turn off this daytime running light. As long as the electric vehicle is started, it will automatically turn on the daytime running light.

The Maverick M1S also has a function similar to the automatic adjustment of the brightness of the mobile phone screen. The light sensing function of the Maverick is to sense the brightness of the external light. If it senses that the brightness of the external light is low, it will adjust the brightness of the front headlights to be brighter.

The rear part is the semi enclosed integrated tail lamp design. There is nothing to introduce, just the above figure.

The dashboard of Maverick uses the FSTN full view LCD screen, which is very practical. Even in the noon when the light is strong, you can see the content clearly.

Please allow me to use an official figure to display the parameters.

2、 Endurance and power

The biggest selling point of the Mavericks M1S is its endurance and power. It is also what I am most interested in after I borrowed it. Let's talk about this part carefully.

First of all, let's talk about the power. I heard from my colleague that when the Xiaomi M1S left the factory, the manufacturer limited the speed to 20 km/h according to the relevant regulations. When we got it, we needed to break the speed limit. Ask Du Niang for the specific method. In terms of actual power, the Mavericks M1S really matches their own name and is "Niu". This "cow" is mainly reflected in two aspects:

1. Fast acceleration: The most obvious feeling of the acceleration of the calf M1S is that at the moment of starting, sitting in the back row will feel like being thrown out. I have encountered the situation that when the red light changed to the green light, I accelerated, and the friends sitting behind were not ready. As a result, the whole person was thrown out. The design of a backrest behind the seat by the Mavericks was not humanized enough. It is suggested that friends of Maverick choose to buy a backrest at Ma Yun's home, safety first.

2. Strong climbing power: friends who often drive must know that good cars feel relaxed when climbing, while ordinary cars can clearly feel the efforts of the car and hear the roar of the engine when climbing. The Xiaoniu electric car also feels very stable when climbing the slope, not like climbing hard.

After talking about the power, we can continue the journey. According to the official introduction, the full charge of the Maverick M1S can run 100 km, but we know that the official statement is that there must be a discount when it comes to the actual experience. Let's use the data to see whether the Maverick can return to the market after a full charge.

Friendly prompt, the following data record is very boring, and anxious friends can skip to see the conclusion directly:

1. Go to work in the morning, leave at 8:57 and arrive at work at 9:06. When cycling for 4km at an average speed of 30km/h, the power consumption is reduced from 47% to 36%, and the power consumption is 11%.

2. He left work at noon, left at 12:22, picked up the express midway, and returned home at 12:40. During the rush hour at noon, cycling is slow. When the average speed is 20km/m, the power consumption is reduced from 36% to 25%, and the power consumption is 11%.

3. After returning home, I went to work again temporarily, and left at 12:44 to 12:49 for 5 minutes. When riding for 3km at an average speed of 25km/h, the power consumption is reduced from 21% to 14%, and the power consumption is 7%.

4. The above three groups of data are all short distance cycling, and the electricity starts from less than 50%. Therefore, after getting off work in the afternoon, we purposely tested the power consumption of a fully charged long-distance ride. We set out at 6:30 p.m., had dinner with friends in the evening, bought things, and so on. By 8:20 p.m., there was a total of 1 hour and 50 minutes. At an average speed of 30km/h, we cycled 24km. The power consumption dropped from 99% to 56%, and the power consumption dropped to 43%.

Conclusion: It can be seen from the comparison of the above three groups of data on riding distance, speed and power consumption that 1.72% of power is consumed per kilometer of riding when the battery is fully charged. When the power is below 50% and the riding speed is above 30km/h, the power consumption per kilometer is about 2.5%; When the riding speed is within 25km/h, the power consumption is about 2% per kilometer. Based on this data and your riding habits, you can judge the overall endurance of the calf M1S.

In addition, when the power of the calf M1S drops below 15%, the system will automatically enter the speed limit mode, and the maximum speed can only reach 17km/h. At this time, the power of the 3km ride will drop from 14% to 10%, and the power consumption will be 4%. This kind of power consumption can ensure that the Xiaomi M1S can ride at least 10km with the last 15% of power, which should be a distance from home or a place to charge.

Conclusion: During this period of cycling, my actual feeling is that the actual riding distance of the calf M1S is between 50km and 60km when it is fully charged, which should be regarded as a good result in electric vehicles. As for the official claim of more than

The 80km riding results should be the results tested in the speed limit mode. I can't say that the official statement is false propaganda, but who will ride in the speed limit mode all the time?

3、 Charging speed

The battery of the Maverick M1S should be the most expensive part of the Maverick M1S. The extended range battery of the Maverick M1 in the official mall costs 3599 yuan, and the price of the Maverick M1S is only 4999 yuan. The main reason why the battery price is so high is that the 18650 power lithium battery imported from LG/Samsung with original packaging is used. The most important two feelings of actual experience are small size and light weight.

The actual weight of the calf M1S battery is 8.2kg. Even if you are a weak woman, you can easily carry it home for charging. This should be the reason why the calf M1S cannot be charged directly and the battery must be removed for charging.

Look at my neighbor. In order to charge the electric vehicle, we need to put a patch board on the fifth floor to charge it. I will feel full of superiority when I directly bring it home for charging, ha ha!

However, due to the small size of the sitting compartment, nothing can be put into it except the battery.

If you need to carry something, you have to carry your own bag, but if you carry your bag on the pedal, it is difficult to place your feet, and you can't carry people behind your back.

As for the actual charging speed, it takes 6 hours from 5% of the power to full charge. You should be as surprised as I am when you see this result, because the authorities have praised the fast charging technology of Xiaomi M1S, claiming that it can be filled in three hours.

The original battery of the calf M1S supports fast charging, but the power adapter does not support fast charging. In order to achieve the official promotion of fast charging effect, you must purchase a fast charging power adapter separately. However, no one has bought a Maverick M1S fast charging adapter in the official mall and the omnipotent Ma Yun Back Garden. That is to say, this is a PPT fast charge. We can only hope that the official can quickly install the fast charge power adapter, and the price is not too expensive.

4、 Other aspects

The official app of Maverick is called "Maverick Steward". The first login requires binding the two-dimensional code of Maverick M1S. Since the Xiaoniu M1S is owned by colleagues, it is not convenient to experience this app for a long time. I just want to talk about the simple experience: the car condition, service, butter and other functions are more practical, but the actual operation often has problems that the data cannot be displayed. I suggest that the official Xiaoniu improve the app as soon as possible.

There is no problem for the calf to climb the normal steps. You should not worry about driving normally in the city.

The car search function is convenient. Press the "ox head" in the key, and the electric car will light up and emit a prompt tone. It is easy to find the calf in the shed of the community, and the LED on the key hole is also convenient to insert the key.

advantage:

1. The overall design is fashionable, the body is small and convenient to control;

2. With sufficient power and long endurance, it is among the best in electric vehicles;

3. The battery is light and convenient to charge.

Disadvantages:

1. The sitting compartment is too small. It is difficult to put anything else after the battery is placed. If there are more things to go out, you must take a bag with you;

2. The price of extended range battery is too high, and it will cost too much to buy another battery;

3. Fast charging power supply is still not on sale.

Personal choice: I used to think that electric vehicles have neither the power of motorcycles nor the sportiness of bicycles, so I have always rejected electric vehicles. However, during this week's cycling, the strong power of the Maverick M1S has partially changed my view on electric vehicles. The red appearance is also quite conspicuous. However, due to the small size, I always feel like I am sitting on the ground when I ride. I lack a sense of straightness and straightness when I ride. It takes time to adapt.

After cycling for a week, I finally decided to buy a calf M1S for my wife, because the relatively small body is too mini for her, but it is easier for her to control the small body. At the same time, the endurance, power and other aspects are really good, and we are not afraid of traffic jams when riding to and from work every day. I still bought mountain bikes myself, because that sense of sport is irreplaceable by electric cars.
