Greetings everyone, Gearbite have advised that they have finally received stock of the new Xiaomi M365 pro scooter in their warehouse.

This is the Global Version of this scooter, specifically designed by Xiaomi, and they have received this Global Version ready to ship the earliest in Australia.

There are currently quite a few in stock and ready to ship from tomorrow, Gearbite have advised that this is a limited time deal only for tonight, which it will then go back up in price.

I personally own the M365 and absolutely love it. For those that are eyeing off the pro version, I personally wouldn't hesitate to buy it as it's an amazing piece of kit and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Features:

OLED DISPAY (Speed, Three Mode, Light, Battery Left, Bluetooth Connection, Over heating Warning, Malfunction Error)
300W wheel motor ( max: 600W ) provides the max 25km/h speed and max 15 degree gradient
12.8Ah / 37V Li-ion battery ( included in product ) for max 45km mileage
Three mode ( energy saving mode, standard mode, sport mode ) can be switched to tap the switch button twice
8.5 inch rubber inflatable wheels for different grounds to take
Quick folding design for convenient carrying in your car trunk
Aluminum alloy shell for max 100kg payload

Package Includes:
Xiaomi Scooter Pro Global Version main Device, Charger with AU Plug, English Manual.

I have sourced a comparison between the Pro and Non-Pro models of the M365 below:

Please also check out this video as it shows a great comparison between the 2 models :)

    +1 for post effort.

    One question though, in the features listed you state 15% gradient but then in the features table you say 20%. Which one is correct?

    • doweyy on 03/06/2019 - 17:52
      +2

      Hey knobbs, the description was taken from Shopro and the table from another website. I've reached out to the rep to double check :)

      Edit: Apparently Xiaomi don't like to claim a higher rating just in case of safety concerns. So in this case it seems like the official rating is 15%, but the "known" rating is 20% by reviewers, thanks for the pickup :)

    • kagari on 03/06/2019 - 18:05

      It should be 20% according to mi.com

    Shame they arent legal in SA

    • andyarlo on 03/06/2019 - 18:28

      Is it that model that's not legal ? Im only asking cause I was riding on an electric scooter there in Adelaide on Thursday - super fun and accepted by the cops - rode past one without issue.

      I doubt they would pull you over to check model legalities - I think as long as you're not going too fast in built up areas , you would be fine.

      • WilkyBoy on 03/06/2019 - 18:33

        Was that one of the city hire scooters or your own private one?

    • WilkyBoy on 03/06/2019 - 18:33
      +1

      I ride mine around Adelaide, mainly the back street and stuff but if you have a helmet i doubt the cops will pick on you. If they do i'm going to argue that electric bicycles are basically the same thing for them to go jump haha

      • timetoquit on 03/06/2019 - 18:55

        great to hear WilkyBoy, I plan on commuting to work which will take roughly 10mins on scooter. Also prepared to cop a fine.
        I have one already on order from another seller (still waiting on shipment but i'm patient and he has provided me with follow ups)

        but now considering this Gearbite deal for my wife… i paid roughly 615 after discounted giftcards and 10% code on a previous deal .. this deal will bring it down to $670ish for a second (using more 10% ebay cards/ and PAPPY) …. decisions.

        • pakkapie on 03/06/2019 - 20:29

          Do you happen to know what the fine is off hand? I want to do this too, park on the edge of the parklands and scoot into the cbd.

            @pakkapie: https://www.mylicence.sa.gov.au/road-rules/e-scooter-trial

            Rules above seem to apply for those within the designated areas of the trial.

            It does further add

            Can I ride my own e-scooter?
            You can only ride your privately owned scooter on private property - not on roads, footpaths or other public spaces. Otherwise, only e-scooters owned by the operator permitted by the City of Adelaide are to be used during this trial. If you are caught riding an e-scooter not approved for this trial you may be fined for driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle $1186.
            Click here for more information

            I guess that would be super worse case scenario and I should hope officers use discretion if people are being responsible in their overall riding behaviour and safety equipment worn.

        • Tony555 on 04/06/2019 - 19:20

          @vapingwinnieblues You said you used the 10% ebay cards…how do you feel not paying through Paypal? You get a cheaper product but you don't get the Paypal protection. I'm divided on this one…interested in your thoughts.

          • timetoquit on 13/06/2019 - 17:24
            +1

            @Tony555: Sorry didn't see your question. I must be missing something because the transaction still goes via Paypal just says you have saved xxx dollars with the order. I didn't realise you'd lose Paypal protection (if paying strictly with giftcards) I guess it boils down to a little risk. Xiaomi products have a decent reputation for quality and build so that too would probbaly lessen the risk that something could become faulty.

            Scooter arrived 11/6 and Im really happy with the build quality. Feels like a quality product!

  • eggboi on 03/06/2019 - 18:28

    Unless you absolutely need the extra range, the non-pro version is still the best value at $500 when on special. The pro inherits flaws like the folding mechanism, puncture-prone air-filled tyres, cumbersome shape and the pro is heavier to boot. If i were looking at spending more than $500 I’d go all the way up to $1k and get the Zoom Stryder EX. $1150 rrp, dual suspension, powerful motor and display as per the m365 pro, but it’s lighter and smaller, handlebars fold down, puncture proof wheels and charges in under 3 hours. 4 potential drawbacks however: same range as original m365, larger power brick, lacks disc brake and has slightly smaller wheels. Hope this helps someone when deciding.

    • Quantico on 03/06/2019 - 18:32

      Appreciate the info, cheers.

      For reference, I got a non-pro m365 a week ago and have found it both super convenient and fun. Ridden about 40km on it in 6 days, and I mostly work from home currently. If you're not sure if you'd use it or enjoy it, test ride some Lime scooters (if in Brisbane of course). Can confirm the M365 has noticeably better acceleration, top speed and uphill speed, and a bit smoother vs the Limes.

    I enjoy taking a gamble but when the fines are so exuberant and your in an area that's policed it's really hard to pull the trigger. What's the estimated time they'll be legalised in Melbourne anyone?

    I'm not sure the Pro version is worth its value for 50% more than the $500 non-pro version.

    • ssn654318369 on 03/06/2019 - 22:24

      totally worth it.

  • Chewiebacca on 03/06/2019 - 18:37
    +7

    I looked into this before purchasing the original M365, you're essentially paying 50% more (500->750) for a bigger battery which translates to about 25% more range, 2kg more weight, significantly longer charge time, and a display which you can purchase online for ~$30 and retrofit to the OG in minutes.

    • WilkyBoy on 03/06/2019 - 18:40

      I'm interested in this display you mentioned, happen to have a link?

    • Benjamin7711 on 03/06/2019 - 19:59
      +1

      I agree with everything except it's 80% more range, not 25% - not to mention it's ability to climb hills a lot better which with the original M365 at 50% battery or lower is a bit hopeless

      • Chewiebacca on 03/06/2019 - 20:03
        +2

        While the M365 was advertised at 30km range and the Pro is advertised at 45km, from all the actual real-world info that I've seen on Reddit/Youtube, it really only seemed to get ~25% more range than the non-Pro model.

    None have sold yet, I think if Gearbite drop below their competitors in pricing (on eBay) you'd get more bites. I'm still on the fence!

    • squinly on 04/06/2019 - 10:24

      Nope. I've clocked 400km on my M365 in Melbourne, commuting from Brunswick to the CBD every day there hasn't been rain on the forecast for the last few months. Even scooted past cops on Swanston Street etc while in the bike lane. They don't seem to care. Having said that, for about a week the cops were hanging out on the corner of Alexander and Canning in Carlton, right on the bike path holding clipboards. I didn't risk passing them, each time I saw them in the distance I altered course. Although I suspect they were just looking for bikes without helmets but who knows.

      If your motorised scooter:

      • is powered by a petrol motor
      • has an electric motor with a maximum power greater than 200 watts
      • has a maximum speed greater than 10 km/h

      then it cannot be legally used on a road or any road related areas, including footpaths, share paths and public areas. The fine for an illegal device is $826. Other penalties may also apply.

    Ordered mine when Woolies had the eBay giftcard promo on. Effectively paid 620 in combination with 15% off eBay promo.
    For extra 120 bucks over the non pro model it was a no brainer.

    Not sure I would fork out extra 250 for it unless extra range is a must for your needs.

    I own a m365 myself, living in Brisbane. Absolutely love it for the price. I was one of the early adopters when it first started appearing on OzBargain so paid lot more than it's value today. No regrets, especially when you are closer to city/work.

    There are a few things that are not great on the m365, however there is a great community on Fb to help you out and as long as you maintain it well, should have no issues.

    That said, I would think more than twice to get the pro for this price. Depends on each individual's needs.

    • ndftz on 03/06/2019 - 23:25

      yep the standard m365 is what I have and it's awesome for very short trips save for some battery sag when nearing 25% battery

      what I like is the huge modding community and massive availability of cheap parts and third party upgrades .
      upgraded my ,365 dash and basically everything else from slimed tyres, siliconed innards, to base plate and fender guards and it's perfect.

          also threw some small foam strips inside the under cover to keep battery firmly in place then put this on top https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Reinforced-Bottom-Battery-Protec…? so it's easier to clean and a little stronger

I also ordered a rear fender support as I have felt the thing bouncing all over the place and currently have a little bit of milk-bottle plastic screwed in place as a makeshift guard. Quick question - with the aftermarket metal plate over the battery, do you still leave the stock plastic plate in there under the metal plate, or remove the original one and replace it with the metal one?

  • GenghisGun on 04/06/2019 - 08:48

    I would add that, as a frequent user of my m365, you should not worry that there is no "suspension" as the pneumatic tyres ride extremely well. In my experience, FAR softer and better, with better grip, than the solid tyres + suspension on the ninebots (lime scooters in AU/NZ). You really notice how poor the grip is and how hard the Lime ones ride after you ride an m365

    • eggboi on 04/06/2019 - 13:34

      yeah but the lime suspension is a joke. there is a token dampener on the front wheel and nothing on the back. a dual suspension setup like the zoom stryder with decent travel would be great. love the large-ish wheels on the m365 though.

      • GenghisGun on 04/06/2019 - 15:45

        fair call, I wonder if the consumer ES2 suspension is way better than the lime ones.

        • eggboi on 04/06/2019 - 16:05

          Not a huge amount better. I would say the limes have harder springs simply cos they need to cop more wear n tear. The es2 is not quite as smooth as the m365 (tested them both) but then you can’t get punctures. no perfect option, personal preference. First time i tried a lime i was riding on a relatively smooth path and felt like i might go flying it was so bumpy haha

    • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 04/06/2019 - 14:47

      That is true, soft tyres perform much better than ES suspension.

  • timetoquit on 14/06/2019 - 01:46

    Not sure where to ask but for those who have either model what apps are ya'll using? if any?
