bloody love this! is Stu the new stig? please get a white racing suit for next time 😎

[@jmsmilfajt]

After 2 years with the m365 all I can say is yep, you're right... but what actually works for me is the tubeless setup! Having the stock tyres filled up with a bike sealant compressed up to 5-6 bars is the way to go. Since then, no punctures... but I have to check my pressure frequently, otherwise the sealant could leak out from the sides and that would be messy.

[@angelwhite2463]

Regarding the punctures on the XIAOMI MI PRO 2 I've been hearing good things about a product called "tyre slime" Its a green slimey liquid that you can inject into the inner tube and when you do get a puncture it is instantly sealed. I'd love to see you do a review.

[@darkgilson]

I had a flat tyre with the original m365 4 years ago, and decided to just go to a bike shop. Cost me around 15£ but I almost lost a finger when trying to repair it myself. 15 bucks for a fully functional finger was worth the investment. Unfortunately 2 days later my m365 was stolen at the train station :( Great video Stu ! Cheers from Belgium

[@StusReviewsUK]

£15 for a finger is a bargain! 😂. And I’m sorry to hear that! There are some utter scum around!

[@hdbeastgamer1074]

was it locked?

[@darkgilson]

@@hdbeastgamer1074 Yes. Not with the hardest lock I have to admit. I wish airtags existed already back in the days :)

[@heymanhaha]

@@darkgilson is there a lock you'd recommend Francois? I am buying the pro2

[@darkgilson]

@@heymanhaha not the one I had ahah. Keep in mind, if you see one at 15£ and another one which looks stronger at 25, go for it. I haven’t bought another scooter since ( I bought a bike which was stolen as well… ), but be very careful, it’s very easy to steal apparently. Enjoy your new scooter :)

[@alicewei5794]

Hi Stu great review of the Xiaomi pro 2 I decided to purchase the techtron ultra 5000 got a 500watt brushless motor at the rear top speed of 25mph via the app super for climbing 20 degree incline keep it up stu

[@nicholasmapstone5806]

Bought a ninebot max last year based largely on your review and it’s been great - so thanks for that.. The only issue is that it is very heavy so I was tempted by this one. But that puncture issue is a killer. Think I’ll keep lugging the ninebot upstairs until they’ve got it sorted.

[@marcusinHD]

back bumper broke on my max.

[@gtone339]

Awesome review on the Xiaomi Pro 2 Stu! Anyway, you forgot to mention the newly added reflectors on the front/side/back, proper rear fender support, plus the brighter 2W brighter headlight & tail light! I'm glad you prefer the FWD motor because some fans of the Ninebot Max prefer the RWD but I prefer the fwd since you can corner quicker! Anyway, the 8.5" inch tyres are more durable than previous Xiaomi e-scooter tyres! Good thing the Pro 2 is the 1st e-scooter you reviewed with a Lap time! Perhaps one day Ben Fox might collab with you on a Top-Gear like lap time/race hehe!! 😁🛴

[@tobypotter2160]

Could we please have a similar review of the Ninebot E45, it's competitor. There isn't many reviews on it out there at the moment.

[@freddear4986]

Have you ever thought of using puncture prevention fluid? It seems relatively cheap but I don't know if it works?

[@johannilsson29]

At this price class is the pro 2 worth it or is there any other scooters that you would recommend over it at the same price?

[@PersonManManManMan]

I don't understand pounds, miles, but well channel is not international yet, I am happy that at one point there was km/h mentioned to give a good idea of speed.

[@mikesunboxing]

tyre change on the m365 is a total nightmare and needs spare tubes just in case you nick the tube in the process - which is very likely

[@StusReviewsUK]

Been there, done that and wish there was a t shirt to prove it! 😂

[@electricwheels411]

You should try a Dualtron Mini. Much more stable with the BMX Handle Bar. 500w Motor to get up any hill and a lovely wide platform. If you where closer I would let you spin on mine

[@StusReviewsUK]

The offer is always appreciated. The dualtrons look insane, although I always felt the flagship one (thunder) looks a bit untidy! Hasn’t got the refined curves of some competitors. Review of the inokim ox super coming soon 👌

[@electricwheels411]

[@YUSUKESAIHA]

i used zip tights and plastic clamps that i bought from the hardware store after battling for 2 nights just using those 3 flatheads on trying to put the new tire on the font wheel which resulted to a damage interior. . . moral lesson: use zips and clamps in changing those tires. . . i have a m365 pro by the way.

[@freestuffgiveaways]

lets hope they pass the law soon to ride these! its mad that you can hire one but cant ride your own?? I hear they will make people get some insurance when they pass the law! also you can "over ride" the system to make it go 30mph BUT half the distance! great video mate.

[@alexrogers4826]

Hi, typically 2 working days! Thanks!

[@romainvicta.]

Xiaomi's website says the max engine output is 600w. Where'd you get the 300w figure from?

[@StusReviewsUK]

That’s max power output. The rated power is 300w. Check the full specs on there site and not just the overview; www.mi.com/global/mi-electric-scooter-Pro2/specs/ The rated power is what the motor is designed to run at, the ‘max’ power is its theoretical capability, but will cause overheating as it’s not designed to run at the max power etc. Semi false advertising I’m afraid.

[@romainvicta.]

@@StusReviewsUK Thanks, that’s helpful! Good review by the way.

[@StusReviewsUK]

@@romainvicta. cheers 🥃

[@r1t5o12]

Maybe a silly question but have people got some examples of what they use these for in the UK given public use ban.

[@StusReviewsUK]

A lot of people choose to use them anyway for short length commutes. They aren’t ‘banned’ per se, but are governed by a law written in the 1800s.

[@doiny4244]

If someone changes the battery of the Xiaomi pro 2, does the charger input also change? Can someone answer me, pleeeeaaase? 😊

[@PTPB1]

They're quick compared to the S1 don't know why people want to go faster than the max

[@eden160eden]

Is it actually illegal to ride this thing out and about (side streets main roads)? Just bought one myself and if its the case it might be getting sold 😞

[@StusReviewsUK]

Strictly speaking no… but it’s a law from the 1800s that stops you using it on the pavement! 😂 the government are running trials at the moment, with the idea of putting them into legal use. I know plenty of people who use them regardless however! 🛴🏴‍☠️

[@eden160eden]

@@StusReviewsUK Thanks Stu. I think I understand and learned something new. Don't want the po-po chasing me down at 15 mph 🚨 Love the quality videos can't wait for the next one.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Buying one of these at the moment is a political hot potato, lots of the public hate them and lots love them and see them as the future. Id like to give one a go but i dont fancy risking points on my driving license to do it, the way the British public are going if we get them approved it will be mandatory to be insured, wear a helmet and go no faster than 12mph (Sucks the fun out of using one for me).

[@larsstougaard7097]

In Denmark they are fully legal, but only the 12 mph versions. But I have a scooter from an unknown brand going 20 mph. I just drove by the police today, they didn't even bat an eye, so depends where you like.

[@thomasscream4179]

@@eden160eden This comment's a little late, but I imagined a Hollywood style police helicopter chase involving an electric scooter-mounted criminal blazing away at 15 mph after reading your comment

[@stickysquirrel5687]

I feel the max is still by far the better one i am also on the max weight so the stronger motor of the max is a plus And the weight is a plus for me it feels a lot more stable because of it. having rwd feels like a benefit while using regen braking down hill I don't feel like I'm going to flip forward. built-in charger is nothing to ignore either. The max is definitely still worth the additional price i mean a set of tires is already a hefty price if you get a flat and then swap it out. But it's great nevertheless. >Edited because my initial comment was an incoherent mess

[@StusReviewsUK]

Yeah agreed, the stronger motor helps heavier weights and the I build charger is ace! But if you don’t want the added cost, the mi pro 2 is a solid choice too 💪

[@larsstougaard7097]

Sticky where I live the Max model cost almost the double of the pro 2 and because of regulations its limited to 12 miles pr hour, plus I live in an apartment, so pro 2 is better buy for some nordic countries. I like the max though, when it is max unlocked 🔓😎

[@stickysquirrel5687]

@@larsstougaard7097 i bought my max for 680€ the Xiaomi was cheapest at 499€ so 180€ difference made the max heavily outweigh cost benefits of not getting one. Here both are capped at 25kph so that's respectable.

[@Justmyopinionlol]

I think 90% of these escooters are made for people 5´10" and under. Reviewer dude ´s height looks way out of range whereby the original Chinese engineer had intended his prototype for. I say prototype because everything made in China cannot be trusted. I made a quick first glance at the folding mech and I thought it sucked. Sure enough, it folded on me and caused a serious crash.

[@heymanhaha]

The pro2 did?..

[@martyn_g]

The country of manufacture has very little to do with the quality. The company’s QC is what matters. I’ve had 4 Foxconn Chinese manufactured iPhones and not one has broken. Foxconn’s processes are world class. My parents Samsung TV broke twice, not made in China. My two Samsung phones broke, not made in China. My friends German made VW has cylinder head issues. My parents Australian made recliners broke within 2 years, but the Chinese made ones did not.
