Xiaomi sends out teaser for a 12 December launch, speculations point to an electric car or motorcycle

The so called ‘Apple of China’ has announced a wide range of products in the last couple of months. Not only smartphones and accessories but things like air purifier , sleep sensor and even a mattress . Now the company’s sub-brand Mijia has released a teaser which could probably be a big announcement from Xiaomi.

The teaser posted on Weibo is for an uknown product that would go official on 12 December. While there is no information as to exactly what the product is,  the teased poster shows tire tracks and some other details. Some of the features the product like E-ABS (electronic anti-lock braking system), cruise control, perforated brake discs, integrated die-casting motor have been mentioned.

Now at first anyone would think its an electric car, considering the popularity of EVs in the market. However, Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun had stated last year that the company is not planning to invest in the electric car business in coming five years. On top of that, the teaser mention that it is unlikey to be an electric car.

Instead it could be an electric motorcycle since the mentioned features are clearly found on a bike. There aren’t a lot of electric motorbikes in the market either and the company could capitalise on this. Back in June, the company had announced an electric bicycle called the Mi QiCycle Electric Folding Bike.

We will find out what it is on 12 December.
