Xiaomi M365 Pre Mounted Solid Tire Review

[@GadgetAddict]

Wow 20% drop in range. That alone is a killer :(

[@Lxttl3]

Gadget Addict dam u got 223 k subs that’s a lot more than I’ll ever get rip me

[@monkeyguy80]

I've installed this tire for 7mths ago in Singapore. This solid tires is good & lasting for me. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼☺️

[@rohaimiehashim4402]

Where do u install it in Singapore?

[@ShyuhaimiAhmad]

hi..how much sgd if change both wheel?

[@sullivanseanp]

Been running a solid tire only in the rear for a few days and the difference is speed/range seems to be only slight. The big difference is in the harshness of the ride. My feet were starting to hurt after a short period and now I try to only take the smoothest routes possible. Cutting the chance of a flat in half though might be worth it , since I got a flat only at 70km.

[@valichesu]

I live in an area where I get pretty often flat tires on my M365. I followed your advice and mounted a solid tire only on the rear. The installation was not so difficult and I didn't boiled the tire or anything, I just applied some grease and used 3 big screwdrivers. I also noticed a slight discomfort on and the performance decrease (2 km/h less than with normal tires), but the range was not affected so much. After 1 year and 2 flats in one week I also changed the tire on the front with a solid tire. After this the ride became though, exactly as you've said. Now I bought a suspension fork, I hope that this will improve a little the ride comfort...

[@michael4383]

just installed the exact same solid tire on the rear and did a 20km test drive. 1. installation is easy if you have a bench vice - takes max 2-3 mins. 2. max speed is pretty much the same, i reached my full speed (32-33km/h) several times without noticing any difference in acceleration or max speed. 3. driving feels almost the same. its only a little bit harsher and i cant understand these reviews. i am 82kg and i got a flat rear tire after 200km. i haven´t done a range test yet, lets find out if it really performs that bad in comparison to the original tire.

[@annashealthylifeeverything8583]

could you update please. I'm thinking about buying a scooter and can't decide what kind of tires to prefer.

[@aviationboy8]

Update? I got a rear flat after 80km, slime and 4 bar! I am going to put a solid on.

[@sway4everything]

Weird - I've had them on my scooter for a month with zero loss in range or performance - love not having to worry about flats

[@tspirit99]

josue4everyone the scooter doesn’t magically understand that is has another tyre of type added to it and in return loss in performance, what a crock of shite! It’s a tyre replacement! The guy may of gained weight since doing so lol.

[@mister_jon_jon]

I've noticed a extended range on my scooter after installing solid honeycomb tires. My only concern is the extra vibration will affect the construction and electronics. But so far I don't regret installing solids, so tired on flat tires...

[@davidbolha]

Did you replace both wheels ? 🤔

[@admirmehic8552]

Hey man, a question. I have been driving with solid honeycomb v2 ones for a while now and I just realized, there is a HOLE where tube went on the front tyre with a motor. Did you seal that stuff? Now I wonder about water and dust getting in. But pouring silycone in to seal it, seems dangerous as well.

[@shotgunsneezes24s15]

I’ve just ordered the front and rear because I’ve had my m365 for 11 days now and my tire has popped 2 times in the past 5 days and it’s starting to piss me off I used a brand new inner tube and it popped straight away it’s a piss take but I ordered them yesterday and we’ll I’ve just watch your review I don’t know if to be pissed because of the speed and range decrease or happy that my tires ain’t going to fucking pop again. Great advice short video straight to the point thank you .

[@shotgunsneezes24s15]

Alan no I haven’t why would that help do u think

[@trizzboi4420]

Shotgun sneezes24s to find the peace of glass that keeps breaking ur inner tube, u never ridden a bike before?

[@namemilol]

Changed mine today and it was actually easy with already mounted tires

[@TheIkeRai]

The decreased range and speed may also have a little to do with the motorized hub, although you're saying that with just the rear tire there was still performance losses. Excellent video, and thank you so much for taking the time to get that info out, I was looking into these myself as well.

[@KenHu8]

The extra vibration may have negative impact on the electronics and body structure as well.

[@DougHnut]

I agree!

[@GalacticTechTrails]

So I’ve heard

[@LostInDistance]

Had my solid tyres for a while now. No issues what so ever. Ive not even had a drop in performance? But then maybe these are another brand compared to mine? I’d rather have a firmer ride than being miles out and a chance of a puncture. Stripping the tyres off for a puncture repair is a real pain on these scooters. Now It’s worry free. 😊

[@KenHu8]

@@LostInDistance Happy that it works well for you. I'm sold my Xiaomi switched to using bicycle. Cheers,

[@LostInDistance]

KH Toh Fair enough, I’m still using a bike as well, handy to have both options though.

[@HUNpusi]

If you have pneumatic tyre, use slime tyre selant. I got my first flat tire at 200km on my rear. (because i filled with 1.5bar for comfort instead of 3.5+ bar) Then i filled both tyre with slime, now at 1700km, my front tyre got flat. I was thinking about solid tyre, but i lost my motivation in diy things and i found a service, they will change my inner tube.

[@DougHnut]

glad you found someone to do it, because the front is VERY hard to change

[@vedranart]

Are you still on these tires? Rear and front? Or only rear? Your thoughts? Thanks!

[@joshuapang9528]

Are there any instructions on how to install a pre mounted solid tire for the front? Is it simple as just screwing it in? And if so how would the cables be connected?? Thanks for any and all help Doug Hnut! U DA BEST!

[@colorklimax]

2 year old video but still shall save me from buying that exact premounted solid tire online (was already in my cart). The 20% decrease in range for me is a NO GO.

[@nez99]

Can we get updated places to purchase solid tyres with motors and wheels already attached please? The links in the description dont work anymore

[@AppleOranges12]

How is the performance of the motor?

[@AntFong]

In your experience, have you suffered more flats in the rear than in the front? Will you personally be using a solid rear/pneumatic front setup? I haven't ridden much, but am worried about getting stranded from a flat. Thanks for all your M365 vids

[@DougHnut]

I had 5 flats in the 1500 km I have ridden. All in the rear tire. My usual commute is only 3 km each way. So in my situation, it is worth the risk getting a flat for the comfort. I'll be sticking to pneumatic front and back. Worst case if I get a flat 20+ km away from home, I'll take a bus back.

[@jazz2020]

I've had 4 flats in 3 months, only one was in the front. I've ordered the solid tire for the rear, and I hope it works, because I use the scooter to commute every day to work and it's not working with the amount of flat tires I'm getting...

[@UtahTroyBoy31]

I just bought both tires to replace originals. After having 4 flats in 4 days even with slime I've had it with tire repairs! In the almost year I've had the scooter I've done over 10 flat repairs. I'll take the deceased ride quality for piece of mind... I'm almost scared to go anywhere!!

[@randomstuff-wg6nj]

@@UtahTroyBoy31 Me Too I got 3flats the first week Wtf All Rear Tire though

[@UtahTroyBoy31]

@@randomstuff-wg6nj atleast rears are easier in my opinion. Not dealing with the wiring to the drive wheel.

[@lem00na]

I have the same for more then a month (mounted by myself), I share that there is a bit degradation in performance, but with time they get softer, Usually I ride 12 km in one direction with consumes about 50% of the batteries (because of the hills), then charge again in office and go back. So far I am overall satisfied, So far I manage to make about 1600-1700 km side question: I bough a new phone (Xiaomi A2) and now I am not able to connect to the scooter. Any advice how to resolve this will be appreciated.

[@DougHnut]

If your old phone still works, you assume something is wrong with the Bluetooth in you Xiaomi a2. Other wise try the other m365 apps in the play store such as "m365 dashboard"

[@lem00na]

thanks a lot for the hint, I installed the app and it connects and shows the info following the m365 search results I found another one called "m365 tools" that is a handy and finally I am able to that I have travelled actually 1755 kms another question: do you have idea what "Number of charges" and "Number of full changes" means? I have the same indicators on "m365 battery" if it is relevant is it EU version

[@DougHnut]

Number full charges is how many full cycles your battery has gone through. So if you used up 3800 mah yesterday, charged the battery, then used 4000 mah today. That would equal one full charge cycle And number of charges is how many times you plugged in the charger.

[@JohnnyFallwatch]

I´ve heard that it can damge the battery montage due to more vibrations on the internal structure, is that a thing? It´s the only thing stopping me from doing the swap, the streets over here are harsh AF, i have just used my scooter 2 times and both punctured my rear tyre

[@willpine7343]

The range seems counterintuitive, as the solid tire should have less rolling resistance than the pneumatic? Curious.

[@thomasjohns13]

Could the drop in range be down to a cheaper more ineffective motor when compared to the original?

[@smabirch]

Could be, but I have also noticed a reduction in range and performance after installing a solid rear tire. My front tire and motor has not been modified at all.

[@kylestengl8605]

Just installed one of these tires on the rear of my scooter after my second ride resulted in a flat. I have to say that I agree it adds ease of mind, but I haven't noticed any performance issues. Secondly, that tire was an absolute pain to install with two people. So I agree pre-mounted is the way to go.

[@chrismurphy_usa]

Where can you get this premounted

[@kylestengl8605]

Christopher Murphy Ali Express sells them pre-mounted, but it costs extra as you're also paying for the new wheel in the back. And, if you get pre-mounted on the motor you're paying for a new motor

[@kylestengl8605]

Could you do a video on some "quality of life" improvements for the M365? I'm getting one soon, I'm getting the spacer for the neck and the tail light protector 3D printed, but what about a custom bottom battery protector? Thanks!

[@DougHnut]

i have a 1000km review in my playlist. one more thing i could add is i suggest adding a 1/4in layer of foam between the battery and battery cover. this will add some extra support on the battery. i dont have access to getting a custom battery protector, but I've also haven't seen the need for it. unless you are planning to bash the scooter onto curbs or boulders.

[@kylestengl8605]

Doug Hnut my only concern is if the battery cover is watertight. I tried to take mine off and add gasket maker to make it watertight, but the Allen keys might have been the wrong kind since it only seemed to strip the screw. Are they in metric Allen keys? Because I have an imperial set.

[@Tomasitoke]

@@kylestengl8605 Yes they are metric, the only place still using imperial is North America. If something is Asian or European it's 100% metric

[@GalacticTechTrails]

Doug Hnut very true. Finally ordered mine, will arrive tomorrow, also I already ordered the extra thick bottom plate with the foam attached from around 30$ from curious joe. Thanks for the vids as well, your the number one producer. Thanks!

[@ricothekakiriki6787]

[@oliverstoys8411]

Nice video, did you ever try to use inner tube protector like Mr. Tuffy or tire liner? I have recent flat after 800 mile plus, I have already have the green slim, I would like to try a tire liner, just don’t know what the size or brand will work, thanks again, for uploading great content👍🏻

[@DougHnut]

ive been think about it, but ill wait till i get a flat before then

[@matryc]

F! Good fast and in a spot review!

[@harshalbhalerao8188]

The front wheel setup seems to be sold out (or discontinued). Can't find it on the usual websites. Could you please add an updated link if you have it?

[@ggss1176]

good review thankyou

[@ka-vikings5522]

Where i can buy

[@valentinbuc]

Did you experience any problems with the battery because of the vibrations caused by the solid tires? There are some that say the battery will detach because of the vibrations.

[@DougHnut]

This is true. More vibrations will eventually break battery connections. I haven't ridden long term with the solid tires. So I can't say for sure. I've only maybe travelled about 150 km with This solid tire and the older foam type combined. But no issues batteries during that time

@doug If you were going to buy a new electric scooter today, which one would you get? thanks in advance

[@balexandre]

I bet (and bought 2 weeks ago) the Xioami M365, it can have several downfalls, but it's cheap, very easy to find parts (and they are cheap), "easy" to fix as it's a simple mounting and so many resources through the web with mods and 3D printing material that you can print (or have a friend that prints for you) or, like me you have non of those, buy cheap :) I'm not regretting the buy, though I only have it for a few days (several communities on FB if you want a better opinion) :)

[@flipper-dad]

Can I use a tier brand bag tier for the m365 solid me m365 standard. Is flad and have a nice one from teir brand but can it fit ???

[@markocomhr]

Quick question and its a bit offtopic, what custom firmware are you using? Thanks in advance!

[@DougHnut]

Normally I've been using 200cfw and bms107. But I've been trying out a DIY custom firmware for the past 2 weeks. I'm gonna be switching back to the 200cfw, as it is still my personal favorite.

Are you still using that battery pack you created? Or was that done just for Science?

[@DougHnut]

Yes I am still using the extra battery pack. But for this review I disconnected the extra pack for a fair comparison. And I didn't feel like travelling 30+ km each time I tested the range. Btw I love having the extra battery. I worry less about keeping it topped up because battery sag doesn't kick in for a much monger period.

[@mikecane]

Thanks for the pack update and your great videos. You do a service to all.

if you are lightweight do not change to solid tires because it is so hard more vibrate and feel bad after driving ... if you have Xiaomi scooter eu version you can ride more than 1000 kms without flat tires

Im Not a lightweight, but the pneumatic tire was flat after 30 kilometers,/Second day using the Scooter. Its Like a joke for me.

about 50 miles for me, flat rear tyre. EU version, although I have no idea what the version has to do with it.
