Xiaomi Mijia M365 Electric Scooter Top 5 Features

[@RadiantFreeEnergyResearch]

I remember watching this video around the time I first rode this scooter (I rented a Bird scooter which was a Xiaomi M365). At the time, I had no idea how this scooter would impact my life in such a positive way. I've now put over 500 miles on the Xiaomi Mijia M365. I added the Slime tire sealant to both front and rear tires and this helps prevent flat tires. I really enjoy riding this scooter. This scooter inspires me, and many that see it. Every time I ride the scooter, at least one person will ask me about it, and their level of enthusiasm is truly a joy to experience. We are doing many experiments with our scooter, we have add a solar trailer that allows us to extend the range of the scooter during the day time, and we are working on ways of charging the scooter on demand, after the sun has gone down. We are learning so much. It was videos like yours, that help me to know, that this was a scooter I want to buy. It was the best five hundred dollars, I've ever spent on transportation and hobbies. Thank you for a great video!

[@TechMishka]

Hey, it is so great to read this comment. And I will pin it as the top one - I believe more people need to find out about this new trend and the efficiency we get with these scooters. Reading your post makes me feel like it's written for me :-) I now avoid traffic jams, and the feeling of the wind on my body is so awesome. This summer was quite rainy here and I only have half of your mileage, but ride it almost every day. What I like the most is the "fuel" cost :-) Around 20-30 cents for full charge. makes around 1 cent per kilometer. Wow! ;)

[@FishnTv]

I just bought mine yesterday and am really curious as to see your back up power sources to keep it charged. I'd like to see your builds do you have videos posted?

[@RadiantFreeEnergyResearch]

Yes, our most recent videos detail our solar powered scooter project. We also show how we are incorporating a backup generator that has been said to produce zero emissions. Congratulations on the purchase of your Xiaomi Mijia M365 Scooter!

[@RadiantFreeEnergyResearch]

@Tech4All Thank you so much for sharing how our comment impacted you, and for pinning it for more to see :) Also happy to see more of the world going electric for the betterment of our health, environment, and happiness. Hope you're continuing to enjoy your scooter!

[@HalkerVeil]

The funny thing is there are a lot of negative media reports coming out. They focus on injury that these "menacing machines" cause to pedestrians and riders alike. Then the next segment, which has nothing to do with scooters or electric Skateboards, they talk about how to save the environment, recycling, and how good it is to lower your footprint. The hypocrisy is ridiculous with these naysayers.

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, media can be nasty and the desire to control the masses and impact with weird statements is a serious issue. Not too many sources you can trust nowadays. One thing I agree - in many countries authorities need to place proper regulations about electric scooters and increase the awareness about that. In many European countries scooters are not allowed on bike lanes, and neither they are on pave-walks or streets. Which sort of makes it illegal to ride. Not that anyone is adhering that.

[@HalkerVeil]

Tech4All Yeah. When cars were new they used to kill people a lot because they never looked before walking across a street. The media back then had the same arguments. They wanted cars to not be a thing and couldn't see it's potential for progression. Until the term Jaywalker was used to retrain the public using sidewalks and crosswalks. Back then a Jay was a derogatory term. And nobody wanted to be a jay. Feel sorry for anyone actually named Jay. lmao I can only imagine how those people would have stalled human progress if they got their way. Because when scooter devices become the norm then that opens a city to a whole other level. Industry and businesses can build around the fact people can travel farther, and faster, within a city. Also maybe some day we'll have safer bike lanes instead of having to share the road with vehicles. Anyway, just my rant and ramble.

[@TechMishka]

Wow - learned something new! :-) Let's hope that day will be sooner!

[@HalkerVeil]

@yakyakyak69 I don't believe what I see on any side or network related to any part of politics. All of it is equal trash and sophism.

[@tanngerin]

It sucks that the huge majority of accidents is happening with unexperienced, stupid people on rentals

[@katrinzlateva1589]

Hello, thank you for the amazing review and for all tips. I have kind of general question. I am also from Bulgaria, Sofia and you know what it the condition of our roads here, except the places where there is a bike track. Do you find the Scooter convenient for Sofia. Also I waned to know approximately how long I will be able to use it before the battery need to be replaced with brand new, if you have any idea ? For me personally the advantages making me want to buy the scooter and not a bike are the size and preventing me getting sweaty on my way to work :) I do have a car, but I would like to be more environment friendly and to save some money from fuel

[@TechMishka]

Hey Katrin, thank you for your great questions. I believe that we share similar needs - I also prefer not to drive, and the scooter is a wonderful way of moving around in a more ecological and non-sweaty way. I am still on my way reaching 1000km, and so far it feels good. The battery is one year old, and yesterday I managed to ride 16 kilometers with around 35% left. I had a punctures, and after the third one I've switched to solid tires - and that's the best decision I've taken so far :D Not sure about the battery longevity - with proper maintaining it should be good for at least another 1-2 years. Also, the M365 has a lot of spare parts that are easy to find. There is a good M365 group for Bulgarian users - check "m365 Bulgaria" in Facebook 😎😇

[@TechMishka]

Forgot to mention a few words about the roads ... - riding is not as pleasant as in some other cities...

[@skeelo69]

Hi Katrin . I bought my M365 two years ago, the battery is still strong, mind you i always plug it in for charging after riding so i guess the batteries have been conditioned well.

[@viorelagocs]

I doubt you will be able to replace the battery... It's not their business model... You'll have to buy another scooter...

[@vongolord1191]

Is it advisable to use during rainy seasons?

[@rannewamma]

I have used it in rain and humid conditions, the basic bottom cover has not yet to fail. Some of the screws might get a lil rusty if you leave the scooter wet and wait it to dry slowly

[@TechMishka]

Make sure you cover the top as some water can get underneath the button and reach the electrical parts.

[@heirvandamme4201]

i have my scooter(Pro one) since september have done 500+km on it , Amazing , but had 2flats and fitting the new tires is a pain in the ass + kinda expensive tho would def recommend!

[@TechMishka]

Wishing you flat-less 2020! 🙂👍

[@jtalexandre]

"I was quite skeptical because of many reasons". That really clarified things.

[@TechMishka]

If that is you asking "what are these reasons", I may say that they are related to my previously bad experience with some XIaomi products, as well as some issues I've seen about the scooter. :-)

[@jtalexandre]

@@TechMishka Now that clarified thing. For real. :) FYI: mine is on the way now. Thank you for the review.

[@TechMishka]

@@jtalexandre Hey, I am very happy for you! I was not able to ride for almost a month, and today was the first day where I managed to get through two battery cycles. Pretty awesome :-) enjoy using yours! Fingers crossed to get it sooner.

[@7nxoh3]

one of the less known features is overheating protdction. Never noticed it before unlocking the top speed, now it flashes the temperature LED once the motor gets too hot(after an impressive 1 hr+ constant ride)

[@TechMishka]

I've only heard about its existence and now you confirm a real use-case when it appears. Good to know it's there!

[@apolpowermac]

nice video michael, informative and fun to watch. plus free tour of the town.

[@TechMishka]

That was quite a small but, but I promise to show a bit more with the next M365 video. 😎

[@splatgetti1333]

I'd say that the recharging ability is genious

[@jbbDE]

Does anyone has experience with locking a scooter to a bike stand? can you turn on the power, or can you lock this??

[@geraskatinas1846]

You can lock the motor on the app. It wont drive unless you release it. If you still wanted to know after a year

[@AdamHelb]

J.B.B. Entertainment I just use a Kryptonite U lock, locking the scooter frame to a fixed pole or bike stand. I never use the software lock. The key is to park it in a well seen area and not for longer than a couple of hours.

[@todd3n]

How do u make it faster

[@TechMishka]

Use this tool: m365.botox.bz/

[@stefanobism]

Of this video I like how the bike paths are built with a platform and a yellow pole to prevent cars from parking. It is an effective system that allows you to build them quickly and easily. I understood by reading the comments that the city where you shot the video is Sofia.

[@TechMishka]

Yup, they are in Sofia. An year later - only part of them are still there, a big quantity is broken. Looks like this is the only way to effectively restrict cars driving in that lane and to prevent parking.

[@stefanobism]

In Rome, where I live, this system does not exist, but it is an excellent method. I should go to the municipality to show it.

[@stefanobism]

Are the posts coming out of the yellow platform made of iron or plastic?

[@TechMishka]

@@stefanobism Hm, never really tested that. They look like plastic to me.

[@stefanobism]

Ok! Thanks for the information

[@spencerjenkins1913]

Helpful video, I am looking to get one soon. One question: Is there anything stopping someone else from just riding away on it when you park it outside? Is there a bluetooth lock on the app like the Bird has? Or do I need a physical lock?

[@TechMishka]

Hi Spencer, and thank you for this question. There is a "lock" option which is enforced via the smartphone App - guess it is similar to what Bird has implemented - and it makes it very difficult to move the device. To be on the safe side - maybe a physical lock is not a bad idea.

[@shogrran]

If you run out of battery charge can you use it like a kick-scooter or does it engage some form of resistance while turned off?

[@TechMishka]

It will work as a kick-scooter, yes. But don't expect to charge the battery that way :-) It will take you a lot of miles to get a few percent up.

[@ExploringAndMe]

Is upgrading speed firmware bad for scooter?

[@tysonprice]

are the flat tires better I would love to use the wide tires.

[@TechMishka]

I am now using solid tires and they are not that smooth, but I have no more flats 👍😎

[@roslee7]

Can i change the battery and carry extra battery? and can i carry vertical especially to Subway train?

[@TechMishka]

The battery is not hot-swappable. Sure - it is replaceable, however it takes some time. There are some options for additional/external pack, but I don't like them too much - they increase the weight and are bulky. As for vertical carrying - yes, it is possible. There is no lock on the rear tire though,

[@joshuadato8490]

What apps are you using?

[@TechMishka]

I like a lot the m365 tools.

[@georgeforgie6430]

In recent reviews of this scooter on Amazon, you will see a problem mentioned by several recent purchasers (including me): there is a clicking, knocking noise that seems to be coming from the front wheel. It varies with the speed you are going. Would love to learn from you or your viewers whether you’ve experienced this issue, whether you have either an explanation or a fix, and even whether the problem is really a problem or perhaps just a tolerable nuisance. Thanks.

[@TechMishka]

Hi George and thank you for pointing to this issue. I have seen multiple users reporting the same condition in the facebook group here: facebook.com/groups/1590258151025293/?fb_dtsg_ag=Adw7Ooer8UTuJ2ndqkCzar8ORprs7DjzcexTt5_VogaEOA%3AAdzTm4pzn_AHjsqjPplGg6oCTQ7-33L_eDzq0v5BEjX7UA I have never had it. Looks like this issue affects mostly folks that have switched to custom firmwares. Have you? - Is the noise there with both speed settings? - Does it change the intensity with different weather conditions and temperature deviations - have you noticed any difference with changing the tyre pressure? Hopefully it is a "feature" that will get queter in time.

[@junkitbalilo1964]

Agree there is always clicking noise at front wheel. 2nd problem the fender at rear wheel very flimpsy. not ideal to fold. Screws of rear fender cannot hold on due to weight of the unit. Lastly, is the very small hook that connects the handle post and the step board. This hook of my unit already snapped. Good thing i was not in full speed. Just bought my unit last april 2018. 😤😤

[@stylius]

Did you flash the modified firmware that removes the speed limit? What is the range with it?

[@TechMishka]

No, I did not. Quite happy with the standard firmware, and on top of that I read about complications, weird sounds, defective motors and so on in the facebook groups, which at the moment is enough to keep me away from it :-) Based on other people's feedback - the range is similar to the stock. Difference is the thrust you have , especially on lower battery levels.

[@TheFrosstitute]

Hey man i'm looking to buy one of these to get to and from work, but i have a couple questions if you or anyone here might be able to answer Are replacement parts difficult to apply? such as a new battery or even the new tires that help against flat tires? What exactly is echo mode? How long roughly does it usually take to fully charge? thanks if you manage to answer any

[@TechMishka]

Hey man, I am very, very happy to see questions, and even happier if I can help somehow 😎 - the replacement parts are relatively easy to apply. I am not an engineer and was able to replace a flat tire - so guess the rest is not that hard. Also - because the model is quite famous, there are many tutorials about literally everything. - pardon my English - perhaps I am pronouncing it too bad - it is Eco mode - a mode which consumes less energy. It reduces the motor power and limits the maximum speed to 18 km/h. - about 5-6 hours

[@TheFrosstitute]

@@TechMishka Thanks mate I appreciate it! If I could ask one more thing, do you know a more official site to order them from? I see a lot of sites selling them but some of them seem abit untrustworthy I'm not sure if there's a go to website that I could go to that delivers to ireland

[@TechMishka]

@@TheFrosstitute I got mine from Gearbest and - the link should be pointing to the original one. Look for the EU version, as it comes with english manual and two extra tires. You may also check for an official reseller in Ireland.

Thanks Peter, a very good addition! Just had a nice ride during a snow storm last week 😎 Was quite fun. I am not using any modded firmwares, quite happy with the current performance. BTW - the Pro model has just been announced, looks like price will be a bit higher, and there are a few differences.

Are the Birds you can rent more powerful than this one you can buy or are they the same? I quite like the Birds and have tried them.

[@TechMishka]

I think they are exactly the same. If they are faster, then it is most likely a firmware optimization. I can't say for sure as the "Birds" are on the other side of the globe for me :)

[@jvarunkumar]

Question:- how long does it take to fully charge it. How far can it go in a full charge.

[@TechMishka]

Hi! It takes around 4-5 hours. The range depends on many factors, including outdoor weather condition, wright, style of riding and the speed you want to maintain. Ever since it is colder I get 15-20KM. In the summer it was more like 18-25. Lighter people will ride longer :-) I am around 90kg.

[@bohemis09]

Today my xiaomi m365 arrived. But to my suprise the 4 (3mm) neck alen bolts are missing. So it is safe to replace them with any other bolts with the same dimensions? And please anyone knows exactly the dimensions of these bolts? Thanks in advance

Pity I am on the move these days and can't quite help. Try to find replacement bolts in Aliexpress or ebay - they often list the exact dimensions.

[@schubertpeter79]

Nice video. How about going uphill. How steep can it go?

[@TechMishka]

That depends a lot on the personal weight and the level of battery freshness. usually if battery is above 60% it can climb pretty serious heights with 90-95kg load. Going below 50% battery will make you "support" the process on a more regular basis :D

[@Kaiketsu]

Couple of issues with video but overall good review: 1. you mention an issue with creaking but don't go into very much detail about the issue. 2. You mention about a 3d printed part that could help fix the issue stated above but fail link 3. Yo mention about a facebook group but also do not link it. (i have been to a couple of different ones and resorted to just googling the CFW) 4. You show off the included extra tyres in the video unboxing but make no reference to them or how easy they are to change. 5. the link you did post to the gearbest shop for this scooter doesn't not show if the extra tyres are included, did you use this link or were you sent it for a review? other words do you know if the link provided will include the extra tyres? i do have some other questions, you sound European (sorry if incorrect) but were you charged any extra taxes from the shipping and is it likely to have any? How long was the shipping for you to receive the scooter? Would you recommend it as a daily city commuter vehicle over for example an electric bike taking cost in to consideration?

[@TechMishka]

Hey, let me respond to some of your questions: 1. A lot of folks are complaining of it... I was planning to make a second video about the parts that found online to reduce the creaking. Never happened so far :-) Parts used are from curiousjoe.se 2. Will fix the link - here is his website - www.curiousjoe.se/ 3. facebook.com/groups/xiaomi.m365.electric.scooter/ 4. Tires are not easy to change. Require patience and a bit of strength. If you happen to try putting hard tires it is even worse and most people recomment micro-waving them in order to soften before installation. 5. If you get the international versions, extra tires are included. if you get the chinese one - then no. I am European indeed. And at the time receiving the scooter it arrived from EU warehouse, which will imply no import taxes. Gearbest have a few locations across Europe and if they have it on stock, although a bit more expensive - that is perhaps the better option. I cannot recall how long the delivery took. Right now I have a friend waiting for his one, and it is ordered from the company that imports it (not gearbest) - and there is a waiting list for almost 2 months in advance... I use that one as a daily driver and totally enjoy riding it - maybe it changed the world of electric scooters. Feel free to post more questions if you have :-)

[@loganborja158]

Are these wheels modular? As compared to a carbon fiber design, the front wheel requires a full disassembly of the upper chassis, it's highly tedious, I am hoping for something simpler. And does this compare to the speeds to that of an Eco Rico?

[@TechMishka]

Hi Logan and thank you for the excellent questions you are pointing to. Looking at reviews it looks like replacing flat tire won't require too much of disassembly. Never happened to me, so it is hard to give an estimation based on just watching other people's videos. As for the speed - it is not as fast as the Eco Reco - the motor is 250-500W (and Eco Reco usually pointo to 750W), and speed is about 5-6 mph slower. Range is comparable and very much depends on the riding style and intensity. What I like better are the larger wheels - makes riding experience more comfortable. On the other side - the Eco Reco models have adjustable height and seem to be more compact.

[@Crazybot2]

Hey, fantastic video! I’m really considering purchasing this, but I have a few questions beforehand. A) Is the battery replaceable? B) How easy is it to replace tires if needed? I am thinking of using solid tires instead of air. C) Have you ever ridden it in the rain? D) How has maintenance for the scooter been so far? E) How far have you been able to travel? I live in NYC so I can see myself using this a lot Thank you, hope to hear from you soon!

[@TechMishka]

Hi Moe Kro. Let's see how far we can help: A) Yes. Expensive though :-) B) It is rather difficult. Best practice is to heat up the solid tires in order to make them more flexible. You may beed a second pair of hands. C) Yes - and it is fine. I tend to use lower speeds and avoid too flat surfaces as it can be quite slippery. Guess solid tires are even more slippery. D) For 400km - just checking the tire pressure and adding the hinge mechanism enhancement from curiousjoe.se E) I try to use it every time the weather is good and the distance is no further than 15-20KM (12-12 miles). If you are in NYC, then there should be the BYRD scooters - they are based on the m365. Try them.

[@Crazybot2]

Tech4All Thanks for taking the time to reply! I’m going to wait until I score a good price before getting one. Again, thanks for the help!

[@aleksandaraleksov2878]

How can we turn off the kickpush-kickstart of the scooter🤔?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, there's a way to modify the firmware.

[@aleksandaraleksov2878]

Do you know the way?...

[@aleksandaraleksov2878]

Because usually it works only with the m365 pro scooter, but for the usual m365, I don't know how. I tried so many things but every app is telling me that I need pro version to sett up that...

[@aleksandaraleksov2878]

So, do you know how?

[@michaels3003]

This was challenging with many signs in English... My guess: Sofia, Bulgaria.

[@TechMishka]

You are absolutely right! :-) In fact Sofia is much more challenging, because it lacks signs in English. But yeah - this is where I shoot most of my vids.

[@burakbayraktaroglu]

Actually, english is quite good.. :) I guess Sofia as well, I understand it from the park and postbank etc. :) Also I have a question, what are the comments when you drive this thing in Sofia? I'm planing to buy one next week from Plesio, so your comments are important for me :)

[@Atlasace]

Defo Sofia South Park I took my board here last year and skated at that park great spot for a scooter not so great for an E-board!!! Beware the fountain area really slippery lol!

[@TechMishka]

Especially after rain! :-)

Sofia, Bulgaria! Уникален клип, браво!

[@enam9000]

I have the m365 Pro, I get way too much attention on it, feels amazing to ride. 😂 I've ridden it over 150 miles, and no problems with the handlebar making rattling noises, but I did puncture my rear wheel, but that's only my fault, the pressure in in the rear wheel was way too low, it should be 50 PSi for someone weighing 80kg but I had mine lower than 20psi 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ After repairing the inner tube it hasn't punctured again, everything is perfect! 😤😍💛

[@TechMishka]

Great summary! Have a lot of fun riding it, and wish you less punctures! 🙂

[@specopsbarton]

You changed tube to new or repaired that punctured? I saw many comments that changing punctured tube is really hard.

[@CraftMojo777]

Can I use it in trolley mode?

[@TechMishka]

sure, that works. THere is a bit of resisrtance because of the motor, but overall you can absolutely do that.

Yes, it will. Fits in much smaller cars.

It's getting hard to find this scooter - is it being discontinued ? It's a lot of money to spend if it's being discontinued.

[@TechMishka]

Still available. There is an American scooter-renting company that gets a lot of them and therefore it is hard to get it. An awesome model! Try gearbest or Tomtop.

[@irondasgr]

I have never been on a scooter of any kind so basic things are unknown to me. a. Do I need to have already an acquired balance "body knowledge" to get on there and start going (that is just like riding a bicycle)? b. I don't need fast speeding. How do I adjust the speed and keep myself in low values (~ 15 km/h)? c. I understand that I have to pull the brake to stop (stopping by putting your feet down is prohibited, right?). Is this like an instant process (the stopping one)? d. Do I have to buy a helmet or it is practically safe at low speeds? e. I can read about people complaining about flat tyres. Is it easy to find spare parts? f. What is the cruise control function? What does it do and why do I need it? Whoever knows pls answer. Too novice to know here.

[@TechMishka]

Hey, a few very good questions. Let me try to give some good answers: a. Yes - you will need to use your body balance. Not as difficult as riding a bike. Perhaps between a bike and a skateboard. b. Using the eco mode will keep you up to 18 km/h (and as a 90-kg person I usually get up to 15 km/h). Using the lever you can adjust the speed and you can run it at low values. The scooter has the feature for automatically maintained the speed, should you ride at the same speed for more than 5 seconds. It is a brilliant feature! c. You can stop by putting your feet down, however given the weight of the scooter, this is rather inconvenient and you may injure yourself. The time to completely stop depends on the speed. It is not only the rear brake - the scooter also uses the resistance of the electric motor and also the front wheel contributes to the process d. Yes, better have a helmet at any time! It is safer. e. spare parts are easy to find. Keep the tires at the right pressure level to reduce the risk of getting a flat tire. There already are plenty of hard-models, but they are not pleasant to ride - feels bumpier. But spare parts are easy to find. it is one of the most popular scooter models ever. f - the cruise control is the function desribed in "b". It allows you to maintain a certain speed for a prolonged period without having to press the lever. Perhaps my favorite feature :-) Hopefully these answers hep you a bit. Please - if there's anything else, do not hesitate to ask!

[@irondasgr]

You are so kind. Thanks a 1000000 times for your time!

[@LukeKwan78]

any idea what to do if I can't remember my password? I can't login with the mi home app

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, there is a way to reset it. Try this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaOmn5t6a5l_ZtU

[@samgab]

Given your weight and height, I'd say the Pro version of this scooter would be better for you. I don't think it was out at the time you did this video, but it is now, and it's bigger, taller, stronger, and has a more powerful motor and more battery capacity...

[@TechMishka]

Very true! I also thought that, and now I think that the Ninebot Max will be an even better match. 🙃

[@kaleemshaikh7456]

What is the cost?

[@TechMishka]

Right now you can buy it for around 300-400 USD.

[@andreaslee506]

Does anyone know what the charging time, reach in km and average lifespan in km? Also how does it lock? Through the app? If you rent one with Bird is the locking mechanism then through their app? Thanks.

[@andreaslee506]

"it supports a maximum range of 30km when carrying a 75kg rider (15km/h uniform) which is great considering the size. And it only needs about 5 hours to fully charge - even faster than a smartphone. " - Just read that. Is that your experience as well?

[@andreaslee506]

So another question: Does anyone have data on how many KWh per km?

[@TechMishka]

Hi Andreas, The charging time is around 5-6 hours. On average, a person like me - 188cm, 90kg (6.17 feet, 198 pounds) I get around 25km in eco mode and around 16-20 in regular mode. Depends a lot on how often you stop and start - this can drastically reduce the distance. As for Bird - I don't quite know how the locking works. Should be via their app, but I'd rather ask them directly.

[@andreaslee506]

Thanks man, sounds about the same as the numbers I found. I'm really curious to find out what the expected lifespan in km is though.. so if anyone has data on that I'd be very interested.

[@TechMishka]

The usual life of these batteries is around 500-1000 cycles. And that all very much depends on how you charge, store and discharge them. There are some folks with 2000+ kilometers already. And knowing that the american company Bird is using them for scooter sharing means a lot.

[@sarawanthapa3949]

Do anyone can tell that this scooter is convinient for high mountainous region

[@TechMishka]

Not really... It will feel most of the bumps; the larger tires - the better.

[@alanl9497]

How fast can u make it go after mods?

[@TechMishka]

Some people have reached speeds up to 35km/h. It depends a lot on your weight and the terrain. In most countries in Europe it is forbidden to go above 25km/h (Sweden is no more than 20). I believe in the USA it should be below 18mph. And honestly - going that fast may be scary and a bit dangerous.

[@AdamHelb]

with reasonable settings in the Custom Firmware I max out at 19 mph (about 30 km/h) that with fully charged battery. More realistic is 18mph with most battery conditions. You could push the power settings in the firmware but you risk shortening the life of the drivetrain. Also safety on the scooter drops significantly as the speed is increased so I'm happy with the current speed limit.

Swagtron in the U.S. has picked up a clone and is selling it as the Swagger 5. Only one review on KZbin so far. It'll be interesting to see how many M365 mods -- if any -- apply to it too.

[@TechMishka]

Hi Mike - if you have the chance trying it, then you may be able to share with us :-) I am also curious whether we can flash the mijia firmware and what actually happens with updates on 3rd-party scooters. Could be that there is a difference... For example - the chinese edition supports the ninebot app, but mine - which is the EU version - doesn't. So there may be some restrictions...

[@Genx3131]

:-) Almost the same "specs" on your side. If you are getting it from a local store - make sure to go and try the height first. Being 1.90 means you are right on the edge of riding comfortably.

quick question. why do all people said that it s Xiaomi? i have this scooter and there is nowhere wrote Xiaomi. not even on the scooter itself. i found a sticker with Ninebot but not Xiaomi. thanks

[@TechMishka]

There should be a Mijia logo. Mijia is owned by xiaomi. If you have the ninebot logo, you may have one of t he very first revisions - this is in fact a ninebot development. And Ninebot got bought by Xiaomi.

[@danepher]

Weren't Ninebot bought out by Segway..?
