Not in SA
Is there anyone, who has actually been fined for riding these? I.e. not the ride/beam ones
just run away :)
But running was what I was wanting to avoid!
Edit. But I want to buy this so I don't have to run!
Not in NSW either
Indeed, the fines are just 600+ in NSW.
as long as you don't ride it on the road, you are fine.. on footpath they won't fine you.
Guy on r/Sydney got hit with $2,500 of fines.
One of them for riding on a foot path.

Hmm.. interesting, but how can these two fines be issued together:
You either be on footpath or on road, having these two fines together is contradicting itself. I have been riding on footpath almost everyday to station for the past three months, even had an occurance where police driven pass me as I was riding, never had such issues. Oh well, if this is the case, then I guess it's at my own risk.
Ozbargained already? Site seems to be down…
was up/down/up/down/up for me too - very strange
Try up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Select, Start.
HADOUKEN!
Finish him!
Is this a legit Xiaomi store like official official or like the Ralph Lauren stores in Bali where they’re not actually legit
Most likely not and it's not affiliated with Xiaomi in anyway.
If you want to be certain @Clear would be the one to ask, he's got contacts and stuff. Not too long ago Clear also cleared up a false claim when some other site/Amazon store was claiming to be Xiaomi official, it turned out it was a false claim.
If Xiaomi actually launched in Australia all the big retailers would be selling Xiaomi stuff, but they're not, there's only these sites and Amazon and eBay stores.
Official Xiaomi website will only be mi.com/au/
mi.com/sg/
mi.com/tw/
Mi.Com/global/
https://www.mi-store.com.au/ is the official store in Australia
I don't think so. This is www.mi-store.com.au registration information.

@Unity55: Well Panmi claims to be the Australian distributor for Xiaomi products e.g. https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-australia-launch-976…
but I did some searching and I am starting to think they may just be a grey importer being a bit loose with the truth. I've been bamboozled!
@wendellX: Can anyone confirm if they are affiliated? They have 20% off the pro on eBay and claim Australian warranty. I want to buy but are they shoddy? They even claim to have a showroom?
@Donutpuss: Actually I just found this. It looks as if they are legit!

In QLD, these are only legal in inner city Brisbane yeah ? Not the Gold Coast ?
Legal in all of QLD
same price as Catch of the day and at least their site works
Isn't max speed 25km/h?
Yep top speed 25 without firmware mods
Note that you probably need to get some spare tires for these as the way they are designed the inner tube doesn't last. Also, it's a pain to change the tires for this (even the guy at a bike shop who helped me said it's very difficult). Other than that it's a nice e-scooter.
Got my first flat on the weekend. Got a tyre repair kit from kmart so I could use the little plastic levers.
It was a pain but nothing that cant be done in about half hour. Also, the scooter should come with 2 spare tyres with tubes
I've had no success with tube repairs. Best to replace the tube.
Oh I never repaired the tube. Just got the kit for the little levers
@Gracey: I got couple of those levers from a bike shop. Taking it out is easy… putting it back on is the difficult part.
I have gone through 2 flats in less than a year. I recently got tires that doesn't require an inner tube (so that I won't need to change flats anymore) but haven't had time to install it yet.
@muddrex: @muddrex Yeah nice, are you able to link to the tubeless tyres please?
@Gracey: I bought it in China when I was visiting earlier this month. Since this is a Chinese brand, they have a lot more accessories and parts option over there. This tire issue is a known issue so there are lots of alternatives.
I just checked AliExpress, you can search for M365 Tire and there seems to be a number of options.
The one I got is like this one:

Again, haven't had a chance to put it on so not sure how well it works yet.
If you’re happy with os stock banggood is over $100 cheaper https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/486702.
Was just about to link that.
Imo this I hardly a deal, the Xiaomi scooters have been as low as $530 many times and included a spare set of wheels.
Max load:
100kg
Thats me out!
You need a treadmill, not a scooter.
Ouch!
Is it legal yet? I'm just not comfortable knowing that I could get hit with $1000+ in fines.
