Xiaomi - M365

I'm still on OG Xiaomi M365. Sometimes you find that there is no need for an upgrade.

Hello! Super veteran (6+ years) scooter rider here. I’ve got my trusty (ancient) Xiaomi M365 still kicking for when I need to go downtown and don’t want to contend for parking, haha. Thanks for making this post! Here’s some more tips I’ve learned over the years. Even with the best of care (that you should still take), your tires *will* pop. When (not if) this happens, I recommend just replacing them with airless tires. They have less traction (rain isn’t impossible though) and they ride bumpier BUT they will never pop and you never have to think about them again (yes this is actually worth it). Do be prepared: the airless tires are pretty difficult to install since you need to shove a piece of hard rubber over those tiny wheels, but you only have to do it once per tire! It’s still worth it, trust me. Also note that the traffic laws that scooters should follow are specifically bike laws. So, if you’re not sure whether a rule or sign applies to you, if it applies to a bicyclist, it applies to you. It’s a good idea to read up on bike laws, just in case! (and so you’re not being an asshole) Finally, it doesn’t hurt to carry around a small screwdriver kit and/or a set of hex keys. The vibrations from riding will cause screws and such to loosen over time, and you don’t want to be caught far from home with a loose bolt causing you trouble. (Saying this from experience….) Safe riding, y’all! 🤗

My original m365 still rolling. I've rebuilt it a bit, but not because things broke just because I wanted more battery power etc :P Its still a favorite of mine for those jump on and go errands.

I am on the right side of 40 if there is one. I turn 42 in a few months but I tell everyone “I am 41 going on 25” lol. I have 4 scooters, don’t do tricks because I actually have a chronic spinal disability. Got my first scooter to help me get around the neighborhood better and to do errands and stuff, second and third so my kids could ride with me, and the 4th because I wanted something a little faster, well built, with suspension, and could give me at least 20 miles of range. I have a Xiaomi M365 I bought refurbished on eBay (was in great condition surprisingly), a Swagtron Swagger 5 Boost which is a M365 clone that got wet and I repaired it with M365 parts (so I basically have two M365’s now), a GreeVego DY02 because I wanted something with an at least 10ah battery as the two 365’s only have 7.5ah batteries I believe, and a Hiboy Max Pro because I wanted something a little more higher end that wouldn’t break my wallet (cost $700 on Amazon, I paid $535 because I had some Amazon promo credit) and that also had suspension (because the other scooters did not and were killing my back) could give me 20 miles of range (gives me 30miles), could go at least 20 (does 22) had a 500w motor with an at least 48v 15ah battery with bug tires (checks all the boxes. I absolutely love my Max pro. This has a hate thing for Hiboy which makes zero sense to me because my Max Pro is fantastic, well built, fast, good suspension, good range, and their customer service at least with my experience has been really good when I needed a few things like a bag, charger, and chain lock which they sent me for free. Having a scooter makes me feel young again for sure, especially when I take rides with the kids. I love them so much I am about to get one more scooter but haven’t decided yet. Im either gonna get another Max Pro, or a NIU KQI3 Pro but am leaning towards another Max Pro because I really like it.

I have a Xiaomi M365. It's nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I take it 40 minutes to and from work on the flat. Got it from PB Tech.

After 5 years i still have the xiaomi m365 (idk if that's the correct name) working great almost 1000 kilometers, had to change the front tire once and had to fix the back part cause that version didnt have the support part yet, 25km/h max speed i get an average of 20 km of range, isnt that safe to ride on slippery surfaces when it rains, but overall great scooter for getting from point a to b, it was less than 400 euros new in 2019

I still have my Xiaomi M365, still going strong, great little scooter. Arent they part of Segway? This always confuses me, because even on my old Xiaomi I see ninebot stamped on some parts, so assumed they at least share the same factory or owned by same parent company and parts share

I like my xiaomi m365 which was perfect for berhampore to town and back but it wasn't enough to get up the hills when I lived in karori so if you have the funds definitely go for something powerful with a big battery (as they have more power the higher the battery percentage is)

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a cheap scooter with solid tires. My experience: I previously had the M365 and did \~600 miles with it. My commute back then was 5 miles each way and I was generally satisfied with it. However I got many flat tires was painful (had to walk) and costly (much harder to DIY compared to bicycle tires, and I was spending about $50 each time to get them replaced. Then Covid came and I no longer had to do that commute, and decided to sell it. I now need to do a much shorter commute, roughly 2.5 miles each way. I am aware about the cons of solid tires, but the road is relatively smooth and I'm willing to trade some comfort for not having to go through the hassle/costs of fixing tires. For reference, I looked at this Widoway scooter which has solid tires and costs about $120 [https://www.amazon.com/Electric-19-21Miles-Commuter-Escooter-Portable/dp/B0DFYZRV8F](https://www.amazon.com/Electric-19-21Miles-Commuter-Escooter-Portable/dp/B0DFYZRV8F) Of course in general you get what you pay for, and I have never heard about that brand. I'm willing to spend a bit more (maybe $200) if there's a more reputable brand that fits my requirements. I also saw this Roinside scooter at $190 seems to have better reviews but haven't heard this brand either [https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Scooter-Long-Range-Commuting-Foldable/dp/B0DNHXC7DY](https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Scooter-Long-Range-Commuting-Foldable/dp/B0DNHXC7DY) Any recommendations?

Yes I was using slime a lot on the M365 but even that didn't hold after some point. Changing even the back tire without the motor in the way was impossible for me. Even the bike shop struggled to change it, the tire is much harder to change compared to a bike unless you are an expert. Yes the tire and/or the tube might only cost a few dollars but changing it ultimately requires a professional, and labor costs here in the US are crazy.

My m365 was less than that all upgrades included and rides like a dream (40kph) For city use, these are completely fine
