M365 Pro Scooter - Xtech Brake Mod Guide

It is a fairly popular mod to swap out the brakes on the M365 Pro scooter with some xtech mountain bike brakes. Come along with me as I try it out for myself.
The thingiverse print is available here:
www.thingivers...
I used PETG for UV resistance and less brittleness. I recommend 100% infill for this piece as it needs to do real work.
If you don't want a 3D printed piece; you can also find some shimano brackets that might do the job as well.
Some notes:
I highly recommend finding a larger rotor that will work (updated video in the works)
You need a spring to help with retraction of the brakes and the hydraulics to fully disengage. (at least that is what I found.)

[@Platypus_Warrior]

Wouldn't use a 3d printed piece for any brake component unless it's metal

[@bighorse215]

Abs plastic is strong enough almost as good as fiberglass plus most of the stress is going into the forward bolt that's going into the metal frame

Very informative, keep up the m365 pro content!

Sorry being late on this nice video, may I ask you a link about the 140mm disk you bought, please...?

[@sleepwelllikeababy]

Hi, I have a xiaomi m365 and I bought a 120mm break disc.Can I mount the break disc without any adjustements?I mean, that one made from plastic(3d printer I guess). Thank you

[@Bergwacht]

iam just replaced the shitty standart brake with a old one from my bike - fits perfetly and brakes 100% better now ^^

[@silentthunder890]

Did you need an adaptor?

[@Bergwacht]

@@silentthunder890 No. Ist the same size as my last 5 bicycles had^^

[@silentthunder890]

@@Bergwacht nice!

[@TheDownloader86]

Basic M365 PRo breaks awesome. Much better than basic M365 :D. No need to upgrade for me, brake can block the tire easily, no need for more power...

[@cbutters]

Yes if you don't have extreme downhill normal brake is pretty good. Unfortunately I live on really steep hills and my stock brake started melting!

[@janlukes5833]

@@cbutters Melting? Sounds like the right time to replace it with plastic adapter :)

[@thecam0073]

Did you say the pads are contacting 5mm on the disk? Does that mean part of the pad is not contacting the disk?

[@DIYGUYIL]

Glass temp of PETG is 105c, that's very low for brake components. you need to make sure it's not getting soft after long braking.

[@cbutters]

I live on steep hills; steeper than 99% of users would regularly drive on I would guess; and while the brake itself gets hot; its not really transfering that heat into the PETG. I've had no issues over hundreds of miles. Although I haven't used it in the middle of the summer yet which could change things. I would definitely recommend inspecting the piece each time your ride though and check bolt tightness as it definitely is not the greatest material for a brake mount.

Link for the 140mm disk?

[@giorgiowjan214]

L’unico che li produce purtroppo se li fa pagare cari😅. Parliamo di circa 36€ per un disco da 140mm a 5 fori. L’unica soluzione che ho trovato è stata un disco a tre fori di una pit bike, basterebbe fare gli altri due fori. Spesa di circa 15€. Se invece hai bisogno del link del disco già pronto dimmi come te lo posso inviare

@@Etherman999 do I need to make holes to adapt it for the m365?

[@matthiasblaum8386]

Hi, great video! I was wondering whether you would have to modify the specs surrounding the breaks on apps such as M365_downG XG Mod in order for them to work best? Thanks!

[@ozgunovacik]

Do you have information on the size of the spring that was used in the video?

[@cbutters]

I don't know exactly... I just went to the hardware store and found what seemed right out of their box. but I also realized there was a pinch in my line that was making the cable not slide easily; once I fixed that the spring isn't as necessary; but still nice to have.

[@TheRHYSD]

Nice, keep it up :)

[@tsephu4085]

Does it all come with package or do need to buy some separate please reply

[@fabiostanila6448]

In the package you get the brake, bigger disc, support, bolts and a spacer

[@ProXmoD]

Doesn't the usual MTB brake caliper adaptor do the job??

[@jarisipilainen3875]

10:32 was not really good upgrade if need extra part.break should get back by hydraulic.should it? that xtech logo thingy

[@McGreish]

Tried following this guide but honestly, it didn't help at all 🤷‍♂️ Maybe that's just me, your arm constantly blocks what you're doing also. Nonetheless I managed to fit the brake myself having never adjusted one before yet alone replaced one!

[@Socalshortybulls]

Did you also need to buy the spring for it and if you did what was the size for spring? Thanks

[@AccordGTR]

Why did you test the brakes by turning off the motor? They are supposed to work in tandem. That's like testing the brakes in your using only the hand brake.

[@cbutters]

If the motor were to fail; I'd want to know the brake could stop my on it's own. You test worst case scenario for the best outcome.

[@abrahampuertas9036]

Donde puedo encontrar esos leds holder del link?

[@Etherman999]

can you please send a link for the m365 140mm rotor that you have ordered from china.. thanks and a good job done

[@krastyokrastev6735]

Can I have it as well? You can email me @ [e-mail] Thanks and keep up the great work!

Where I can buy this adapter? a need adapter for 120 mm :)

[@dmitrytalanoff]

135mm set is better a.aliexpress.com/_eOGIBT or adapter only in this shop a.aliexpress.com/_et80HJ

[@maxbars1996]

Jiaomi :D

[@misiek564]

can anybody recommend buy and install hydraulic brake kit for m365? (not pro)

[@KK-ru3ht]

if you over 70-80 kilos and you are going with speeds over 25km then you need a hydraulic brake

[@c.andrewits2774]

i would not trust plastic 3D prints for brakes. its a 4$ bracket and sold on ali express. It looks like hes using 1 bolt that goes through the caliper and into the original frame. So that at least accounts for the strength, still not ideal but better than a full displacement of the mounting locations.

[@polskipartaczwjukej6066]

Bullshit, you can't remove the heat from friction just by changing braking calliper, you have to change disc and pads. All bullshit in this video

[@cbutters]

the xtech brake DOES have new pads; and they make contact over more surface area.

[@polskipartaczwjukej6066]

@@cbutters And more friction= more heat 🙂 Change the disc and don't bullshit.
