Xiaomi M365 Latch Replacement

In this video I'll be changing one of the common Xiaomi M365 issue - failing locking mechanism latch.
I used 3rd party reinforced latch, made from high strength class aluminum (B95T). I bought it here: bit.ly/2NxWYF9

Thanks. Very helpful tutorial and the latch itself looks super solid too 👌

[@MBMB-sz1ye]

Great video! At 2:00 you say “screw Allen screw back”. If this what appears to be a screw on the new latch? Just asking as the original latch does not have one.

[@twil21be]

same question

[@zayanmixedvlogs7130]

I’m so grateful that my scooter was folded before I was about to ride it . Cause that rod that holds the latch snapped off so I ordered a replacement one

[@sethwielgus3793]

Very well filmed video, thanks!

[@relaxsleepchannel6362]

I used the new pin to hammer out the old pin. Put some olive oli on both ends let it sit for 5 Minutes each side then used the new pin to hammer out the old pin, took no more then 6 hard strikes with the hammer and came out no problem. Before i was was trying for 30 minutes and no luck so this worked for me.

[@MCsCreations]

Yeah, looks pretty sturdy! Really nice! 😊

[@SevenJetC]

What is your experience some time later?

[@russelltudge3677]

Seems easy, been hitting the pin in mine for 30mins. Still wont move

[@loooping8]

get a long screw fix it on both sides,to get the pin out use an iron saw,I don't use the pin

[@joshuncc]

I feel like I am going to break this thing (more) trying to get the pin out.

[@antben]

Indeed. Take a motafukin sledgehammer and hit like a motafuka. Can be donne in 10 strikes.

[@Ibrahimmmee]

So how did you manage to take it out, share with me

[@davidkang818]

The best way to get the pin out is by hammering the new pin that comes with the new latch about half way. Then hammer the old pin back so the new pin pops off. The old pins should still be 1/3 popped off by now. Then use a smaller screw or nail to remove the old pin. Worked best that way. Ive tried nails, screws and they both just bend.

[@Supdogs]

I wish I had read your comment earlier. This method worked the best! I wasted 45 minutes trying screw heads and other makeshift tools to take the pin out. And contrary to the video, the pin can get removed either way - left or right push

[@MBMB-sz1ye]

Hello I have a new pin. The grooves on it are off centre. When you look at the front of the scooter should the new pin have the off centre grooves on the right or left? Regards

[@nez99]

Im missing the screw that goes into the latch, do you know where i could find a replacement online?

[@Maghrabi14]

I'm missing that part too, so if you find it somewhere online, please send me the link

[@rabbigoodman6740]

Its a standard screw you can find at any hardware store

Tego właśnie szukałem, dziękuję! Świetny filmik 😍

[@scottmcguire253]

Thank you! This helped me fix my scooter! Appreciate it!

[@DylanFowler]

This video really helped me, many thanks.

[@billgangsta539]

hello sir! my problem is not the latch the the pin of the latch has broken in 3 ways... :( i know its pretty cheap ( about 3e where i am from) but must wait for the stores to open so i can buy it. its it easy to change? o.O

[@zackgimson4872]

Y e f would any 1 dislike this vid?!! Thxz bro!!!

[@Ibrahimmmee]

After 5 nights of working just to get the pin out, it’s still not coming out. I was thinking of to apply some lubricant maybe it’ll be easier.

[@God_Bolt]

Does the m365 PRO also needs this thing? If yes does it fit the Pro version?

[@PriestBonner]

kit no what?

[@pan_fvs5812]

Yes

[@nedergubis2638]

Mine broke a while ago when i walked lifted scooter off the curb and set it down and snap! I was lucky.just got off the street with lots of passing cars.

[@Tentsu]

any tips on how to change the folding base without changin pole? its stucks so hard.

[@Adam-hf7hn]

Does this remove the creaking sound ? Is anyone else having a creaking sound ??

[@milaleemusic]

Yes I am

[@cirwo85]

The link you posted isn’t to that item. It’s a whole different design but still aluminum . Not as thick etc

[@tonymcnamara5127]

On 1.52 mins the new pin just pushed in place is this normal as other videos they are hammering the pin in !!

[@Ibrahimmmee]

What other videos, I only find this video

[@Arraxis]

The pin is even weaker then the latch. The pin broke on mine but luckily I was not in danger. The latch is still going strong though.

[@emranabuturaiia579]

Where did you buy it

[@JamieRobinson-j1p]

Hi mate I’ve but one on but the scooter still folds do u know how I would fix it

[@osirisofthesouth2853]

This was needed

[@teddysurf]

Does anybody know where to get the washers for the side bolts on the folding pole base?

[@yonasun2987]

teddysurf hi, where are they? I can measure it for you if you want

[@teddysurf]

Yona Sun I appreciate you trying to help me but I bought the washers on eBay months ago so I don’t need them any more. But again thanks for the offer.

[@yonasun2987]

teddysurf happy you fixed it👍🏼

[@Ibrahimmmee]

You can visit my best scooter website they have every spare part.

[@Bobby-qn9yn]

I think the pin has got to be busted already to get it out,I tried to replace mine for a fancy red anodised one,nothing wrong with the old one and it will just not move

[@fnk101]

Thanks

[@kremicfein]

is there something like that on thingiverse?

[@NoName-wf3un]

0:28 that part you fold there is whats really loose on mine.. I just tried to fold it like you but it snapped loose, the mechanism works its just loose.. Since then it's wobbly I'm afraid to ride it bc my only safety is that small lock on the side.. Is this the same issue?

[@dubbelss5756]

Have u found a way to fix it cause that thing is loose on mine to

[@siyaamzaman2313]

@@dubbelss5756 same my folding mechanism unlocks by itself on rough ground and then snaps

[@MarmotStarpax]

the pin behind the latch has potential to break too

[@proxyhx2075]

I think mines broken..

[@ronaldpollard8054]

Where’s the link

[@DominicFlynn]

Yes but the pin won't hold. You'll have to replace it with a higher quality steel pin or a titanium pin

[@MohamedHarrag-g5e]

[@LPWWE06]

1:32 immense amount of force is barely moving the pin out for me I'm literally an experienced auto mechanic and can't this pin out (I just don't have a press at my home unfortunetly) I got it half out and I'm beaten

[@unknowntbsjsj9885]

Thanks bro very helpful

[@jacoblovr]

I use an angle grinder and just cut the whole thing out

[@janlaureys9]

I watched this video on monday and on friday my latch broke and I scraped my knee on a very rough glued gravel surface.

[@yonasun2987]

bruh moment

[@proxyhx2075]

oof

[@harrisonpayne7911]

Xiaomi told me send it back but watched this and just gunna do it myself so easy I dident no

[@truearmpitfarts]

Mine came out easier hitting from the pin from left to the right

[@breixo13]

Impossible to remove the pin it won’t move an inch

[@Ibrahimmmee]

For me too

[@luclindo10]

Mine just broke today. :-/ It's a really crappy mechanism...

[@jikbkok1265]

I repaired mine today and it broke again 5 minutes later

[@luclindo10]

I have finally succeed to repare it. I had to cut the metal because otherwise it was impossible to get it out, and for it I had to unscrew the fork. I nightmare without a full équipement repair kit.

[@Adam-hf7hn]

Does this solve the creaking? Is anyone else having creaking noise in m365?

[@TRYBEmusic]

try spraying some wd40 where it creaks

[@Adam-hf7hn]

GabrieleAng done that it it worked fabulously. Only thing is that it did slightly depreciate the intensity of the brake but it still works great. Thanks

[@Ibrahimmmee]

I tried everything, I have lost 5000 calories just to take the pin out but it won’t move even a centimetre

[@gilgirardperalta6041]

very expensive

[@lolenas]

Lol i broke that screew for latch after 600km Now my handlebar cant lock up lol.ordered new latch scree for 4€

[@mrsnow182]

This pin is seated tight as fuck, not like the video shows!! To remove the pin use WD40 and be prepared to use lots of force,!!! Big hammer

[@aetmbh]

My pin got lost so easily. Now I got a new one, but it's soooooo hard to get it in... I'm hammering it like a nail.

[@loooping8]

get a long screw fix it on both sides,,I don't use the pin

[@aetmbh]

@@loooping8 Good Idea man. I'll try it. Thanks a lot.

[@jakubthedanger8158]

25 euros? sounds like u have been ripped off!

[@proxyhx2075]

yup

[@stefankropp3339]

The pin is not moving, I tried everything. I damaged a lot of parts while trying to get it out. The scooter will go on rubbish with 400km only. What did I learn? Never buy China shit!!!

[@Shadow_of_STLKR]

RLY 98,30 PLN (25$) for tiny piece of junk? And it is aluminium. WHY? Just do same part from steel, from scrap yard. It will hold lot more and will be cheaper.

[@Bergwacht]

thanks
