SPEEDWAY
Speedway Mini 4 Pro
SKU: SCT-SWM4P-001
Description
The Speedway Mini 4 Pro is one of the longest-running compact commuters in Minimotors’ Speedway range. It uses a single rear BLDC hub motor rated around 500 W nominal with a peak output of about 1,360 W, fed by a 48 V battery built from Panasonic cells — most commonly a 15.6 Ah / 748 Wh pack, with a 16 Ah Panasonic version on the highest-spec build. Reviewers consistently report a top speed near 45 km/h (28 mph) and a real-world range in the region of 30 to 50 km depending on rider weight, terrain and mode. The scooter rides on an 8-inch tubed pneumatic front tyre paired with an 8-inch solid rubber rear tyre, and a dual spring suspension setup that several testers credit, together with the low centre of gravity, for a smooth and controllable ride. Braking combines a mechanical rear drum brake with a front regenerative electronic brake. At roughly 16 kg with a foldable stem, it remains genuinely portable, and an LCD console reports speed, battery, voltage, trip and odometer data along with selectable speed modes and cruise control. It carries no manufacturer IP rating and offers no companion app.

Model history
The Speedway Mini 4 Pro sits in Minimotors’ Speedway line as the compact, commuter-oriented sibling to the larger Speedway 4 and 5 and the performance Dualtron family. Early reviews date to around 2018, and the model has remained in continuous catalogue presence for years, with running revisions to its battery — older units carried 15.6 Ah / 748 Wh Panasonic packs while later highest-spec builds moved to 48 V 16 Ah Panasonic cells. Its longevity has made it a frequently cited reference point for lightweight commuter scooters.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Strong motor output for a compact commuter, with ample everyday acceleration
- Lightweight, foldable and genuinely portable at around 16 kg
- Smooth, controllable ride from dual suspension and a low centre of gravity
- Panasonic-cell 48 V battery delivers a competitive commuting range
Cons
- No manufacturer IP rating and limited water resistance
- Build quality criticised by some testers (handlebar and frame play)
- Struggles on steeper hills despite the rated climb grade
- No companion app and headlights some reviewers found dim at night
Verdict
The Speedway Mini 4 Pro is a well-rounded entry-to-mid commuter that prioritises portability and a smooth, controllable ride over outright performance. Its 1,360 W peak motor and Panasonic 48 V battery cover most daily urban and suburban needs, but riders seeking serious hill-climbing, weather sealing or app connectivity should look elsewhere in the range.
What reviewers say
