    great price considering the extra wheels - new Pro 2 model coming out later this year though

    • +2

      Just did some quick googling, for anyone else curious, a blog post here seems to cover 3 new scooter models (including one that's already been launched in China) coming in 2020.

  • Awesome, thanks OP!

    • If you want to be booked for going under the threshold speed.

      • whats the max speed?

        • +27

          Honestly, how starved for attention are you?

          • -5

            @L1ndros88: Not at all.
            Why does it interest you?

            • -1

              @jv: Theres essentially zero interest because of the economic crisis

        • traveling in excess of 20km/ph under the indicated speed limit will get you a fine.

          • @hothed: Got a source? I can't see that being enforceable, what if you have a 80kph limited spare on a 110 motorway
            What if there's heavy rain and you need to drop too 60 to be able to see in front of you?
            What if there's wildlife around?
            What if there's a corner?

        • A: If you stand on it backwards… it's in the negatives.

    • +1

      In Brisbane there is a bikeway along the M1 yes

  • +3

    Are these easy to ride? I'm a fat 36 year old who hasn't ridden a bike in a decade (push or motor), but I don't want to take the train when I go back to the office, is this thing just going to be like when I tried to learn how to snowboard and half murderised myself or is it pretty straight forward (i.e the motion keeps the thing upright, it'll be sweet)?

    Going to guess the vic government hasn't hinted at relaxing laws on it when we go back to work either, despite the extra social distancing it provides.

    • +5

      You'll be fine. Aim it where you want to go and press the throttle.

    • +5

      They are very easy to ride. Lots of people who haven't ridden a bike or scooter in years have tried mine and every single one has been comfortable riding it within 30 seconds, and came back with a grin on their face.

      If you are carrying a fair bit of weight, get the Pro as the extra power will make a big difference to performance.

      • Thanks, 95kg so definitely need the extra power (in my defence, I'm 6'3"). That's what I wanted to hear, I'm fairly uncoordinated but can ride a bike and used to be able to stay upright on a skateboard years ago.

        Now to weigh up whether one of these or just go all in on an electric bike. There's one bigass hill between home and work I'd rather not have to walk my scooter up.

        • +3

          If there's a hill and you're heavy, there's a good chance that it won't be powerful enough to bring you up.

          • +3

            @muddrex: but you can push and power assist with the scooter - or just zig zag, not a biggie really considering the portability.

            If you push like a normal scooter it gives you a boost if you hold the throttle down

            Get one, you wont regret it….im 300km in, do 10km runs with a 3 year old on board running probably 115kg with both of us (3-d printed handlebars for him).

            Goes great and lots of mods available

            • +1

              @dogzilla: I own the non-pro one. I'm 5'7, about 75kg.

              If you're riding on a sidewalk, you can't really zig zag, and this is not the kind of scooter that you can zig zag/do sharp turns.

              Yes you can push, but with its weight (and adding your weight), even when I'm just going uphill for about 20m, I rather walk it up.

              What I'm saying is that the electric power likely will not carry freefall101 uphill with his size, just to set his expectation right.

              If I'm going on a relatively flat road, I think this is great. If you have a somewhat steep hill to climb, I think a pedelac would be much better suited.

            • @dogzilla: i do this with my 3yr old too! :). its fun and she loves it.
              different scooter though, the morath, which is smaller, so she can just hold the normal handlebars and i put my hands on top of hers so she doesnt forget to hold on :)

          • @muddrex: yeah, thus why I'm thinking the electric bike instead of a scooter, figure it'll be a bit easier with pedal assist.

            • @freefall101: Just check to see if e-scooter is legal in your states, most states are not. Pedelac are mostly legal if you buy local stuff, if importing you need to make sure the specs are within legal limits.

        • Weight makes a big difference to performance. My sccooter can easily take a 50kg person up a steep hill that I don't have any chance getting up weighing 85kg. At 95kg, even the Pro will struggle up a steep hill, especially if the battery is a little low. Might be worth trying one out before committing to a purchase.

          Having said that, I've found that giving the scooter a kick along (like you would for a non-powered one) can get you up much steeper hills at a decent pace, and even hopping off and walking beside and feathering the throttle helps a lot with getting up steep areas.

          An electric bike is an entirely different beast, and they're really for different purposes IMO. An e-bike is for longer distance travel where you're too unfit (or too lazy) to make the journey without assistance. A e-scooter is more for short distance trips in urban environments that would take too long on foot. I have a scooter because it easy fits in my car's boot, and allows me to commute to work without paying for inner city parking.

          • +2

            @klaw81: I'm kind of that midpoint, 7km from work. A little bit too far to walk each day and I'd get to work sweating like a pig if I rode. Scooter I can zip in and out on seems perfect.

            There are bike racks at work though, so really I should just buy a bike and get fit. But being a modern day person I'd rather just throw money at the problem to make my life easier.

            • @freefall101: If there isn't a long (i'd say 200+m) of steep hill, I think this will definitely serve the purpose. 7km is a good distance for this if road conditions are good.

          • +2

            @klaw81: if you're in sydney, the Walksmart shop in Ultimo will let you take scooters out on a test-ride, and they have the Xiaomi ones, and others too.

    • +1

      Depends how fat is fat. But very easy to pickup. Hop on and go, very simple. If my uncoordinated can manage it I am sure you can.

    • I used a Lime and got it within a few mins. I practiceed in the Valley Mall in Brisbane last year for a couple mins when it was quiet and then away I went and had no issues at all after that. Similarly with my GF, she had no issues and liked it.

      Thay said I'd never buy one personally, as there is zero advantage out to about 10km on a push bike IMO.

      • +5

        Because it's not a problem? I get check ups every 6 months and I'm perfectly healthy, I love how much exercise I get and what I eat, and I don't have some body image problem that is worth spending an hour a day at the gym or not eating carbs.

        I took the extra time I have to catch up on sleep, improving my cooking, studying to improve my career and just enjoying life.

  • +3

    I purchased the m365 pro a few weeks ago on the last $709 deal. Absolutely Love it! Perfect for Canberra's network of bike paths

    • -6

      for Canberra's network of bike paths

      Is that legal ?

      • +5

        Yes, laws were passed allowing the use of electric scooters to be used on foot and bike paths. I ride mine nearly every day. Not to be confused with cycling lanes to which they are illegal.

      • +1

        In they ACT they are multi-use, so intended for more than just bikes, but they are still known as bike paths.

        • thanks…

          I don't think you can use them in Vic.

          • @jv: Who should we contact about this? Local MP?

      • +5

        Riding on that oyster in Sydney could cost you up to 2.5K in fines.

        • Doubt it sydney CBD saw a guy wearing helmet and riding on the left lane of the road cop car went right past him and was not finned.

          • +1

            @DEvok: It's at the discretion of the police officer. You don't want to meet one having a bad day.

        • Which fines are these that add up to 2.5k? Please list

          • @aoeueoa: In NSW a scooter is technically an unregistered vehicle:

            Using an unregistered vehicle - $686
            Using an uninsured vehicle - $686
            Using a vehicle with tax not paid - $686
            Not wearing an approved helmet - $344

      • Nah mate oyster is London

    • +5

      No, that's an unbranded copy falsely marketed as Xiaomi.

      • Maybe why they are called 'Crazy Sales' ???

      • Thx.

      • Good old Chinese ripping off the world.

  • +1

    Anyone using these near Sydney CBD? Wondering what's your experience with fines..

    • I have rode it for a few months and hadn't been fined yet. However, the risk is always there until the road rule changes.

    • We ride these in Sydney CBD. You get a couple of looks from the police (now increased presence) but no one has stopped us yet for riding then.

      • what are the actual rules here? I guess police can't really catch you on foot. Still…

        • Not legal so you take your chances.
          I guess police are more concerned right now with moving people on rather than sitting around on benches etc that they don’t worry about scooter riders?
          We have some for the office and our building is right next to one of the hotels the government are putting people in for 14day isolation. Heavy police presence out the front/side/back of the hotel and we come and go on our scooters, we get a lot of looks from but they haven’t mentioned anything.

      • As mentioned above I see many people using them in Sydney CBD seems like they are legal now.

  • Any recommendations what helmet to go with this scooter?

    • +3

      The one that fits.

      And no, that's not a facetious answer. You try on as many as you can, and the one that fits best, you get. If it is cheap, bonus. If it is expensive, that's just the way it goes.

    • +4

      these are highly recommended.
      and are sure to turn heads.

  • Can the firmware be highly modified to.. Hypothetically.. Increase the Max speed etc?

    • hypeothetically, YES

    • I ride one, my 2c? motorcycle helmet.

    • looks like a knockoff

      • How would one know what is real or fake? They all look the same.

        • +3

          Easiest way is the ad doesnt mention the brand, Xiaomi is not mentioned anywhere. Also be careful if says made from Xiaomi factory as this is a way of saying it is fake but make at a factory that do make Xiaomi products.

          The fakes will not have the MI logo on the rubber mat where you stand.

          The fake ones dont use the Xiaomi app but use a different app as well.

    • +3

      Knockoff. Similar ones everywhere on ebay. Worse quality, won't last as long, can't modify firmware, etc.
      Ads will use m365 but usually never say Xiaomi which is usually the easiest way to tell.

      • oh thanks that clarifies it.

  • Rep - does the Pro come with the 2 spare tyres as well ?
    How quick would I expect delivery to Brisbane ?

    • No spare tyres for scooter pro. We will ship within 24 hours, It take 3-7 business day.

    • +1

      Is the pro legal in QLD? IIRC, isnt 250W the limit?

  • +1

    In the product description marketing images:

    "Only 14.2kg;
    even girls can carry it easily."

    I'm a grown ass man and would be defeated by carrying 14.2kg over a decent walk…

    • Yep, it's definitely not something you'd want to lug around with you all day. It's an easy lift into a car, or bring with you onto a train, but you wouldn't want to strap it to your back for any length of time.

  • M365 Pro or Segway Ninebot MAX?

    • +1

      Max.

      • +1

        I looked into the things I don't like about the MAX
        - In-built charger, what if it fails hard to replace I'd imagine
        - Drum front brakes vs Disc on M365
        - Heavier 20kg vs 14kg

        What I did like
        - Longer battery life up to 65km vs 45km
        - Faster speeds up to 30km/h vs 25km/h
        - Shorter charging time about 2hrs less
        - Puncture resistant tires
        - Bigger tyres
        - Rear drive vs Front drive on M365

        I just really don't like the inbuilt charger or the drum brakes. All in all they very similar and built in the same factory, apparently Xiaomi has a big stake in Segway anyways so same/same but different.

        • +2

          You won't get 65km on the Ninebot Max under normal conditions. You're better off looking at the battery capacity.

          The M365 Pro has a 474 WH battery.
          The Ninebot max has a 551 WH battery, which is about 16% more.

          Driven aggressively, the M365 Pro will do about 30km.
          The Ninebot Max would get about 16% more than that.

          Speed wise, both are restricted to 25Km/H.
          There is custom firmware available for the M365. I don't believe the Ninebot Max can be jailbroken without dissassembly and a circuit board flasher.

          • @tanksinatra: There is a 30km/hr rom for the Max without hardware change

            • @junkie13: Yeah that's still restricted though. M365 Pro will wind out to 34km/hr with CFW.

  • +1

    Just adding the chorus here commending this scooter to those who are interested. I've had a M365 for well over a year now and ride it most days. I've clocked about 1,400kms on it during that time. Tyre punctures, or rather bursts in the tube that sits within the tyre, are a bit of a pain. I've had two bursts over 1,400kms. Believe what you might have read elsewhere online — they are a massive challenge to replace yourself, but my local bike shop is happy to do it for $15 which is money well spent. Others will say you can sub out the pneumatic tyres for solid tyres, but I've also read that without air in the tyres the frame of the scooter takes a bit of a beating, so I've stuck with the pneumatics (for better or worse). On the question of weight, I don't own the Pro version, am about 85kgs, and I don't find it to be too 'weak' or anything like that. Sure, it's obviously not as fast up an incline as it is on a flat road, but it still goes well enough.

    • +3

      A general good advise to every M365 owner is to put some anti-puncture slimes into the tyres when they first bought it.

      I don't know or whether Gearbite will even entertain this idea, but I highly suggest them buy a big tub (in a good OzBargain fashion) of anti-puncture slime sealant and fill each tyres before they ship out their sales. As most users won't need to use up a full bottle of the slime, even the smallest bottle they could find.

      • +2

        Yes, I highly suggested it. I went through two inner tubes in a matter of months.

        I tried to change it myself but I definitely have spent hrs without success. I would definitely pay $15 (or even $30) to have someone change it for me.

      • Hi, any particular slime sealant you suggest?

    • I have thoughts about using the scooter on bike paths in Melbourne SE suburbs. But there is a legal issue riding them. So I am tossing around ebike or escooter.

      • I've been riding in the inner north and surrounds for well over a year on a mix of bike paths, bike lanes and roads, and I've never been pulled over or warned. /touchwood.

  • How do you guys lock these things up?

    • +1

      Don’t lock them up. Far to tempting for thieves and easy to steal. Take it with you instead, it’s easy to fold the handlebar down and put under/behind your desk, or in the shopping cart.

    • +1

      Rear wheel.
      There's one of these sitting at the corner of Pitt and Park St (Sydney CBD), been there for a over a week now. Surprised that no one has taken off with it.

  • +2

    are these still illegal in Victoria?

      • +5

        That's not what I asked

        • -8

          So you just give your cash to the CCP?

          • +2

            @matttttt: Cheque is usually easier

            • -1

              @misterpotatomato: Lol why are there so many CCP bots operating on this site? 15 downvotes on my post reporting on the facts of Australia being bullied into submission with their threats of trade war.

    • +2

      You can't legally ride it anywhere in Victoria basically.

      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.

    No thanks, if you have any ethics at the moment you wouldn't be buying goods from Chinese companies if possible, 2 can play their game.
