      That's almost as cold as Melbourne the last couple of days…

        Don't worry will be high 30's soon enough……

        Because Melbourne 🤔

          By the time this arrives it will be back to winter though

        • And a funny little thing called summer. Weird right?

      Also the frame is strong enough to support 100kg. Doesn't actually say it moves with a 100kg weight on it. Though a 100 kg kid should really work some of that off.

    Doesn’t look very electric to me

      That's a good thing. Less chance of.getting pulled over by the fuzz.

      Papi wants to legalise them here before 2022. I am keen to try it out legally.

      Hopefully they stay off the roads. It can be bad enough in some areas where it hasn't been developed for cyclists.

        This one is 'almost' legal in VIC, only 2 km/hr above the max limit

    • Legal in ACT only

      • And QLD. Glad you got yours back.

        • Might be legal in WA toward the end of this year/start of next:

          https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-14/e-bikes-surge-as-pert…

          The ABC understands the WA government will implement new laws before Christmas, setting speed limits and safety features for e-rideable devices.

          • @DonWilson: article just updated with new laws

            Under the laws, e-rideable users must:

            • Keep to a speed limit of 25 kilometres per hour on bike or shared paths and local roads;
            • Observe a speed limit of 10kph on footpaths and in pedestrian areas;
            • Give way to pedestrians and keep left of oncoming riders;
            • Be at least 16 years of age;
            • Wear an approved helmet, use lights and reflectors at night, and have a (working) warning device.

            The new laws will come into effect on December 4.

            25kph even on "local roads" that are usually 40-50kph?
            and i'm not sure why e-bikes are specifically restricted to 25kph on bike paths when non e-bikes are quite capable of going faster..

            • @tdw: Cool, thanks for the update.

              They appear to have edited it out now but they originally said bikes on bike paths were only legally allowed to go 20kph but it wasn't enforced. Maybe they got that wrong which is why it's been removed.

              • @DonWilson: i read that bit too, and i interpreted the 20kph limit to be more of an unspoken agreement amongst cyclists or something than law because i never saw it pop-up when researching ebike regulations last year..

                doubt that could've been properly enforced anyway unless they required all bikes have a speed measuring device fitted. and that would've pissed off a lot of people lol

                edit: they've made another edit to the article:

                Rules prohibiting mobile phone use and drink/drug driving will apply, with the same restrictions as those applying to motor vehicle drivers.
                Currently, children under 16 are permitted to use motorised scooters with a maximum speed of 10kph and this will not change.

            • -1

              @tdw: Any faster and you have a motorbike. E bikes are heavier than unassisted bikes, so they are trying to legalise without the requisite registration that all other motorised vehicles require when used on public roads.

              • @bargainshooter: last update to the article 3 hours ago now says:

                The new laws, which do not apply to electric bikes, will come into effect on December 4.

                still confusing because a few of those, like giving way to pedestrians, keeping left, wearing a helmet, having lights/reflectors and a bell already apply to all cyclists..?

  • Thanks OP, a decent Kmart non-electric one needs to pay 70 bucks, for very occasional use I am getting one.

  • Anyone have a video of.how.it work?

  • https://youtu.be/Yb_E1VlNaks (push start to roll).

      Looks like it’s just one speed.

      • Haha,……so are the Tesla's where some models outperform Porche's.

  • Looks like a cheap knockoff of an e-twow scooter that are well regarded for being very portable and sturdy

  • I would almost consider this just an electric assist. You would end up kicking along with your feet still

  • The website printed on the base redirects to icewheel.cn which is dead. Web Archive suggests it went down somewhere between April and now. Their alibaba shop is still up though: https://eyu.en.alibaba.com

    6km is a pretty low range and I wouldn't be surprised if it was under 5km within a year or two.

    I'd really want the option to hot swap or upgrade or at least repair/replace the battery but nothing is listed on the alibaba for that and 22V in what looks like a custom design enclosure with unknown connector makes it hard to know if you'd have any chance of doing it. Probably some array of cylindrical cells like 18650s but can't be sure. Hmm.

    • Most larger batteries are just arrays of 18650s. Even Tesla vehicle batteries are.

  • Scam alert.

    A mate of mine just tried to buy this. Seller is dodgy af. Here’s the email with the order number removed:

      Your mate paid with credit card instead of PayPal. A lot of Chinese sellers will reply like this to ensure they're not being scammed with stolen credit cards. 100% they shouldn't be doing this but it happens and they all do it.

      Always use PayPal. Dunno why he wouldn't use his CC through PayPal given the extra protection you get.

        Maybe mate is just as dodgy…?🤣

  • Can we replace the battery to make it longer distance?
    Also does the battery still be consumed when riding downhill?

  • -2

    Electric scooters as cheap as unassisted - like kids need another reason to not be active. So much for active transport 🤪

    • Better than having an iPad stuck in their face.

  • Could be useful for keeping up with my kid on his bike - beats power walking/jogging to keep up lol

    god i'm unfit

  • Smallest battery ive ever seen on these.

  • Could be for lightweight folks with flat 1-2km commutes to a train station on hot days. No need to break a sweat

  • -1

    Really tempted until I saw this is 1 speed only…sounds a bit strange to use the brake to slow it down constantly, not sure if it'd damage the motor long term…

  • Unfortunately the Xiaomi M365 and its replacement the 1S also only handle up to 100kg so no go for heavy buggers like me. On the plus side (pun not original intended) for the normies, the new model is available for pre-order at $150 off (now $649). That's directly through Xiaomi - haven't shopped around.

    • The Xiaomi can handle above 100kg but they depends how much more you are above

      • sigh

        Thanks for making me check. And for the reality check.

        Tried 3 scales. Clocked one. Something went crack in it.

        Analogue one says between 115 and 120 and the digital one reckons something like 121.7.

        If the scooters have a neutral gear, the 'paddling' may help change the situation.

        • Interesting enough the manual on the M365 says 120kg so you'd be fine. If anything there might be a performance decrease like on steep inclines.

          • @Clear: Cheers! These specs were not easy to come across on the Xiaomi page, which also displays the product as out of stock and discontinued. Thanks for saving me some searching.

  • Price has gone back to $189 AUD

    • Now out of stock.
