Coming to the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition, Xiaomi is yet to reveal how exactly it will differ from the regular Scooter Pro 2. Be that as it may, the F1 team announced its excitement at the launch. Chris Church, vice president of branding for the Asia-Pacific region of the Mercedes-AMG team, said: “I am very happy to bring the experience of Mercedes F1 to our fans. Like us, Xiaomi is committed to continuous innovation. And we are happy to work with them to bring a new version of its flagship product, the Mi Electric Scooter Pro 2, to the market”.
