Blue colour on sale, lowest price so far perhaps. Supposedly a very sleek and lightweight scooter option.

Pros: it is light weight
Cons: it feels light weightwho says that?
I do, I've ridden one and I'll agree they are finished nicely and look the part but they don't feel very stable to ride.
cant replace the tyres when they wear out?
I rode one of these a few weeks ago. Good fun and can go quite quick. The highest mode I think was restricted to 25km/h but there was a secret mode that you could activate with a series of button and lever pushes that would deactivate the limiter. Don't ask me what it is because I have no idea, someone else did it for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the electric braking system or the placement of some of the buttons on the handles though (right next to the accelerator and brake on either side such that they get pressed accidentally quite often). Also a bit brain jarring going over bumps but I suspect that's the same for all such scooters.
rumour it is … up up, down down, left right, left right, B A, B A

you activated cheat code, your scooter will go from 0 to 100km in 3 secs!

You go into the first speed mode, hold down the brake/accelerator at the same time and press the power button 10 times to unlock the speed. About 32km/h max.
7.5" tyres though so it's more bumpy.
The top speed is apparently 32 km/h, might be a bit fast for a scooter without suspension. However, I'm not a fan of the lack of grip you get (or don't get) with airless tires.
Also here are the steps to unlock the top speed:
1. Hold down the accelerator and brake.
2. Push down the power rapidly button 10 times.
3. You will hear an audible beep when it unlocks.
4. Repeat the process to lock the scooter.
Was contemplating it until I read the reviews on the JB website.
a state of total and complete awareness!
Well, of course you can defend yourself from an attack you know is coming, that's not enough. Look, I studied karate for a long time, and there's a concept you should really be familiar with. It's what the Japanese call unagi.
This or the new model e350?
Real range is 10kms ouchEel

Dual drive mode is pretty good for hills etc but it does suck the power.
Had one to play with for a while. The stated range wasn't anywhere what I got in hilly Hobart :)
"You don’t have to tell your friends that your scooter uses the same carbon fiber as Elon Musk’s Space-X rockets, but we can’t blame you if you did."
Above 200w so considered a motor vehicle in Victoria. Illegal to use in public.
Not sure of the wattage on these, but interesting development

These are currently in Ballarat and can be ridden legally in very strict circumstances
They’re trialing e-scooters in Vic next month. Legal to ride on roads and shared bike path in public. which can travel at up to 20km/h — can be ridden on roads with speed limits of 50km/h or less.
“You can ride them on our bike paths, you can ride them on slower roads and you can ride them on shared paths,”
Hopefully this leads to permanent changes in Vic. Yay!

Private ones are not allowed and there are extra fines. It's annoying as I just received my replacement last week (I bought max g30, first one was faulty) and it's passed return period now.
Hardly lightweight. The original M365 is only ~600 grams heavier. There are way lighter electric scooters out there.
Thats the best looking scooter I’ve seen
