M365 Pro

Xiaomi M365 Pro. That thing is a tank, & worth spending extra on. Simply put, it was just simple quality materials & construction. The only time I had a problem with it was when I was tinkering too much with it (double battery mod, swapping parts in & out with my other M365 clones... but lol the killer was my poor attempt at a 'double motor mod'... but even then, after putting it back to original & using *sticky tape and blu-tac* to replace the screws I lost, it STILL WORKED)

With your weight, almost any adult scooter is suitable for you. Given the short travel distance, scooters with small batteries are also suitable. I would consider Ninebot scooters, as they have more reliable electronics, and the mechanical parts are also quite reliable. For example, Ninebot scooters Es series (Es1, Es2, Es4), F series(F25, F35, F45), G30, G2 (used ones can be bought for $ 300, and this would be the best solution for the money), E2. Of all the scooters listed, the Es series has a folding mechanism, which makes it easier to store it leaning against the wall, placing it on the front wheel, and using a wall mount. Other scooters can also be stored in this way, but due to the design features, they will bulge strongly from the wall, and it is not very convenient to put them on 1 wheel. Xiaomi scooters also performed well, such as the m365, m365 pro, etc. Inexpensive kukirin scooters can also be considered, but they often have mechanical problems, and the electrics sometimes fail, although due to their mass production, spare parts for them are cheaper than for other scooters.

For a girl of 59 kg, xiaomi m 365 has enough power.

If I were you, I would pay attention to small scooters weighing up to 14 kg, such as Ninebot ES, Xiaomi m365 or analogues. It is better to consider scooters with inflatable tires, they need to be monitored more, but the trips will be more comfortable. With your small weight, if you ride mainly on sidewalks and asphalt, then if there are inflatable wheels, there is no point in suspensions. With your small weight, most suspensions will not add much comfort, but the presence of a suspension in the scooter adds weight to it. Also pay attention to the dimensions, it will be inconvenient to bring a large scooter into the bus / subway. As a person who works physically, carrying heavy loads every day, wearing a scooter weighing even 24 kg is not a pleasure. I don't even recommend a scooter weighing 19 kg to you, it's not just hard, but it can lead to back injuries. If you don't work as a loader, then you won't really like carrying even 14 kg every day. I judge by the example of girls I know who are uncomfortable lifting a Ninebot es4 weighing 14.5 kg, but a xiaomi m365 weighing 12 kg is calmly lifted to the 3rd floor.

This is essentially a copy of the xiaomi m365, but more powerful, and the price is too damn high. As for me, it's better to pay a little extra and buy a Ninebot G2 or Ninebot E3 (just the first thing that came to mind), they are not inferior in power, they have a double suspension. Well, or look for something better than the hiboy s2 pro, for that price.

Well, usually scooters with 8-inch tires are compact in themselves, although there are exceptions. At the same time, for example, 10-inch tires can be installed on xiaomi m365. To begin with, the larger the wheel diameter, the less you feel bumps on the road. The 8-inch tires on scooters are almost all solid-cast, and solid-cast tires further enhance the feel of every bump on the road. Cornering stability is provided by the width of the tire, not its diameter. Also, the softer the tire, the better its grip on the road, which also increases maneuverability. 8-inch tires are pretty narrow in most cases. Result: When riding on 8-inch alloy tires, you will feel strong vibrations due to bumps on the roads, especially terrible sensations when riding on paving slabs. Due to the stiffness of the cast tires, they will often slip, and the smoother the road, the higher the chance of slipping. Accordingly, when maneuvering at speed, or entering corners with the scooter tilted, there is a high chance of slipping, which will cause a fall. I rode scooters with 8/8.5/9/10 inch pneumatic/solid tires. And the 10-inch pneumatic tires showed better maneuverability and cornering stability.

The only advantage of this scooter is that it is very compact. But all other technical characteristics do not differ from scooters of the average price category. In addition, it is quite expensive for the same average price category. The weight is 16.2 kg, so it's not even light. You need a compact scooter when traveling, not a compact scooter for storage. And the main problem with any device with moving parts is the breakdown of these very moving parts. The more moving parts there are in the device, the more often it will break. This additional folding mechanism will cause a lot of problems. You will also have to put your feet to the left and right of the frame to ride this scooter. This is not only unsafe, but also not comfortable. The natural position of the legs when riding is when one foot is in front and the other is behind, it is safe and comfortable. In fact, all scooters with a standard handlebar height are much more comfortable to drive for people of low stature, as it is more physically comfortable when the handlebar is in the chest area, rather than in the waist area. Almost all new scooter models weigh more than 15 kg (rather more than 16 kg). If the main thing for you is weight, not shock absorption, range, maximum speed, and all that modern scooters offer. It is worth paying attention to the old models of scooters. Xiaomi m365/1s/pro, Ninebot f25/f45/f2/e2. These are excellent scooters, lightweight and reliable, and they are quite inexpensive.

The only decent scooters below ~350-400$ are all used. The cheapest „good” new scooter you can get is I think the NIU kqi2 pro for 379$. If you want to look for a used one, depending on budget try Xiaomi m365, m365 pro, pro 2 or the Ninebot MAX G30. Out of these the Ninebot is by far the best (and most powerful), but they all aren’t particularly great on hills, so it all depends on how big your hills are. On the Xiaomis and Ninebot you can also modify the firmware to make them a bit stronger if that’s something you’re willing to get into

It's really a reliable and simple design. Mine is similarly old and my battery lasts for 17km, but I have some more power added thru custom firmware. The only thing that ever broke on it was one of the bearings in the motor rusted out, probably from riding in the rain. A set of bearings cost me 8€ and I managed to replace it without buying any proper tools. Oh and the brake is useless and never works for more than a few days. I mostly relied on regen, which is very good on this one.

Was an early adopter with the Xiaomi M365 and progressed over the years (and thousands of kms commuting 8km to work) to a M365 pro 2 (multiple versions). The M365 had issues which were fixed in later iterations but also since it was such a popular model, spare parts, how to guides, mods and hacks were everywhere - can't say the same for some of the unknown brands. Still have my M365 Pro 2 which is handy for when I need to be dropped off as it folds up nicely but usually now ride an ebike as it's a bit faster and bigger wheels are safer as you've mentioned. Ebikes aren't too much more - can get one for $1500-$2000 that will do the job.

used to be m365 pro / xiaomi pro 2 only 14kg ! a very well regarded scooter , no suspension , - its replacements 20+ kg. The way of things !

Old model xiaomi pro 2 , 14kg , good battery 12.8ah , don't think any new left ? Plenty used avail. better than non-pro m365 or 1s

A real m365 type xiaomi or a used ninebot max, nothing else worth buying at that price point.

I've got a couple of Xiaomi M365's that are still going from about 5 years ago. I could tell by how little effort they put into their company name, that a Honeywhale would likely have little effort put into the quality too.
