Banggood are having a repeat of this deal on OzBargain's favourite electric scooter from Xiaomi. It looks to be one of the cheapest prices since mid-2019.
AU stock with delivery in 3-7 business days is a bonus too.

Are these not legal in Australia?
In NSW - legal to purchase and ride within your own property. Not currently legal to ride on public footpaths, bike paths or roads.
or get a car and grow up.
Those two things are completely unrelated.
Getting a car has nothing to do with growing up
@kiriakoz: Laziness, really? Do some research on the actual reason people buy these things. It gets cars off roads, as well as being more portable than bikes and easier to take on public transport for extended journeys. They are also more accessible than a bicycle because they don't require excessive physical fitness for longer journeys. Can also mean you arrive at work ready to go rather than needing a shower! Positives are endless.
The vast majority are not running over old people or pensioners. Either get with the times or stay stuck in the past.
Tl;dr: get over yourself.
@Pratty: you said it wasn't laziness and then you admitted it didn't require excessive physical fitness and to avoid going for a shower. Literally proved my point when arguing against it.
Not very bright, are you?
It breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and if you're the proprietor of a scooter shop, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, but that doesn't really matter 'cause get a load of this, all right? If you get stopped by the traffic cops in Australia, it's illegal for them to search you. I mean, that's a right the traffic cops in Australia don't have.
It's still illegal to ride the scooter and you can get a fine for use of an unregistered vehicle. In most states that's at least $1000 and 6 demerit points.
So, is it legal in Qld?
Yes.
but not in Australia
Jb is selling in QLD stores some scooters. must be legal.
I legally rode my hoverboard down an airport runway once.
are these legal in connecticut ??
Will this work with Nintendo Switch?

Sorry I butchered the first part in my copy/paste.
Thanks
Crazy how these are still the same price from a year ago. I bought mine June 2 2019 for $404 second hand with less than 5km on the clock.
you cant compare 2nd hand to brand new lol…
I get that. I'm just putting it out there that I find it amazing that something I bought basically brand new over a year ago is still cheaper than anything else on the market ie the gap hasn't closed by the amount I thought it would. I've got a years worth and over 1000km and it's looking good for resale value when I decide to upgrade if new prices aren't doing by much.
Weren't you suss at why the other person was selling it with less than 5kms on it?
@montorola: I was but I made sure I test rode it, connected it to the app, etc.
I bought it off eBay using PayPal. Then met up with the seller at his apartment. He seemed genuine and trustworthy so I went along with it.
you might get $200 for it unless you say you only rode it for 5km lol
Stating the obvious. Everyone knows Banggood are a Chinese store.
And everything is built in China. Buy Australian when there is a choice but Australia also needs to change and stop relying on China like the rest of the world does.
There is no choice for most stuff including electric scooters.
People like to go on about buying local but even when locally made is available 99% of people will opt for the cheaper Chinese version. The vast majority of people are full off it when it comes time to fork over the cash.
@Blokeinhisundies: I'll buy local if it's faster and comparable but you're right but that's my point. We need to create an industry in Australia where we can fabricate stuff like this and give Aussies jobs. Yes they'll cost more being Aussie made but there is literally no competition as Australian industry doesn't exist.
@SS625: Unless we illegally underpay and overwork desperate refugees from poor countries. Not that it's not currently happening anyway because I've seen these in almost every industry. Plenty of 'cheap' and illegal workers in Australia especially in small businesses. Granted they still cost more than outsourcing to third-world or poorer countries but we already have one foot on this path.
@Blokeinhisundies: I bet all these anti-China people love to enjoy food that isn't 100% made in Australia. I bet it doesn't take much to guess where a lot of those ingredients (like gluten) come from ;)
Xiaomi is a Chinese owned company, making its scooters in China. If you want to support local, you’re in the wrong deal buddy…
Yeah support locals.. until they get big enough to outsource their support staff to the Philippines or some shit.. wah wah
That's usually the case isn't it. If not that, they take refugees from poor countries to overwork and underpay them or do crappy jobs that locals don't want to do.
Or in the case of my ex employer until they buy the company you work for and then outsource your job to the Phillipines…..greedy assholes.
Australian economy relies on Chinese students. So shut up.
Agree. We are're basically funding a communist regime by buying these products. China is currently busy in aggressively increasing its military might while bullying most of its neighbors in exaggerated territorial claims. All this is happening amid a pandemic and the scary part is that China's hostile rise is akin to Nazi Germany. Most over here are oblivious to it and by the time they realize it would be too late.
You should really stop looking at ozbargain if you are going to go all anti-China on us. Pure Ozzy-made stuff is expensive.
I'll support Australian products when they can come even remotely close to Chinese prices (I don't even expect Aussies to pricematch or better it)
Until then, I'll keep buying Chinese thank you very much
How about warranty does xiaomi Australia cover it?
Doubt it as it didn't come from Xiaomi Australia.
Downvote me all you want but Xiaomi Australia have previously refused to honour the warranty of Xiaomi products that have come from Xiaomi China and other regions. Not to mention that you're actually buying from an overseas website, with an overseas transaction so technically it's not a local purchase where ACL can be enforced easily. Prepare to be disappointed when Xiaomi AU shoot you down like many have here before.
If they are selling to Australians and it has warranty on the page then you are covered no matter where you buy it from. This one has 30 days for returns/refund, 180 days for other issues and a standard 1 year warranty.
This one ships from within Australia so I'd say everything would go through the Australian warehouse for returns etc too.
Yes but Xiaomi Australia won't cover it because it's not a Xiaomi Australia product. There are many big brands out there that do the same with some products (e.g. Microsoft). Based on feedback in other Xiaomi deals, Xiaomi Australia are the ones who will tell you to contact the store as it wasn't purchased in AU through local official channels.
Thx.
Xiaomi (China) doesn't actually have a presence in Australia. If you're talking about Xiaomi Australia, it is more like a reseller/distributor:
"SYDNEY, March 1st 2019 – Panmi announced its partnership with technology company Xiaomi to distribute and market its highly innovative products in Australia. Well-known for its range of high-quality innovative products at incredible prices, Xiaomi is set to shake up the smartphone, Internet of Things (IoT) and lifestyle device market.
Official Mi Store in Australia
In collaboration with Xiaomi, Panmi announced that it will launch the Official Mi Store online (https://www.mi-store.com.au) and a number of Authorized Mi Stores in Australia which will host a range of exclusive Xiaomi & Mi Ecosystem products.

TLDR: "Xiaomi Australia" likely won't accept warranty claims for Xiaomi products you bought off Banggood
(This is my conclusion based on the information I found, I've never tried to claim warranty for any Xiaomi products through Panmi Pty Ltd)
You're on the money there. All these people who will happily downvote but not come in with actual evidence.
Here is some advise from ACCC.
https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/sales-delivery/buying-para…
"Although your products may carry a particular or popular brand name - if it is sold to you as a parallel import, the local manufacturer is not required to help you if the product develops a fault. You need to contact the seller."
As per above, you need to go back to Banggood (love that name) for any warrenty claims. Banggood do have a warehouse in Sydney so maybe they can sort it out from there.
You couldn't be more wrong.
It even has a little bell! How cute! Heh.
188 cm height, 105 kg weight - will this survive?
edit: saw the limit, 200 cm height, 100 kg weight. Need to lose some kg's
…or get one for each leg.
Pfft, I'm heavier than you (and a little shorter) and it still works fine, just don't expect the marketed range and speeds.
Get the pro. It was designed for 120kg but they dont advertise it as fat people like me dont get the full range, maybe 25 k at best
Keto diet, mate. I've lost 35kg in the past six months, was 110kg on Jan 4th when I started.
Nah, I will get a Honda bike instead
Where do they sell Honda bikes for $450?
Please let me know, I'll sell my scooter for $200 and make up the difference.
Any deal on the 34" widescreen monitor?
That’s just ridiculous for a scooter
Ive got one on my Tesla scooter.
Fresh air, full of dew, crisp birds …. what??
And a shrine near a waterfall welcomes a thoughtful haiku
Will they do a similar deal on the Pro given that the Pro2 has been released?
Price wise what’s the lowest this has been down to?
Never purchased from banggood. Is it a reputable website? Is it worth getting the shipping insurance?
Yes. No.
Chinese store, shipped from china & just like every other Chinese products..yes reputable on Ozbargain..
Kind of… forget about warranty and think 50% DOA or shipping loss replacement.
Insurance will give you more like a 100% shipping loss replacement.
These are shown as Australian stock but shipped from China. Neg these misleading deals.
Fully agree..
They ship from an AU warehouse now for some items. Was super surprised for a couple of items I got delivery in 2-3 days.
"AU Stock" does not mean made in Australia. How is that misleading?
Invalid negative vote mate. If the title or description is misleading you use the report function.
But if you check the product page properly you'll see that there is the option of the CN and AU warehouse.
So many people riding these in Sydney during the pandemic guess these will Legal soon.
So is this illegal currently in Sydney/ NSW?
Nope. If caught by police in NSW, you will get a penalty of $1000-$2000. Someone posted their penalty letter in a forum.
Wow $1000 fine I will definitely make a run for it if any officers try to stop me
No plate number = no identification and not like they can catch up anyway even on pushbikes
So yes they are illegal
True but only if your breaking the speed limit doing 100km p/h in the city, see people in city in bike lanes which should be obeying some of the laws which makes them sort of legal, these wouldn’t be selling if everyone actually got gunned, not to mention police have more important things to do now like social distancing fines.
the new one was announced 2 days ago
I have heard the tyres are easily punctured. Also this or the ninebot ES2?
WHAT…how to fix that….can we change the tube easily? or these are tube less
Is this eligible for cash back?
can i ride it
any deals on robot vacuum
