      Clearly you've never rode one before then.

        Yeh so how long would it last then on one charge??

        When I do the math, if it last 30km range (up to - usually that means 20 - 30km) and it goes up to 25km/hr (thats if the terrain is very flat, anything elevated and it would use more power and battery would die quicker)…. Unless ur riding 10km/hr which might get you 2 hrs worth of juice but be very lame at the same time

        • Clear on 16/01/2023 - 11:26

          It really depends on you riding conditions and how fast you go. Like I wouldn't flip it into sports mode and go flooring it at 25km/h on a footpath - that's how you get a ticket. I used to ride a Xiaomi with 30km range and at the time I was a 110kg fatty, so I'd get about 20-25km range on my morning commute to work.

          Now I'd easily hit that 30km mark being a whole lot lighter.

                @Clear: and 30km is a not a long distance, but it is far from "a little crap". and it suits many people perfectly.

          in the real world you would be lucky to get to 20kmh. You also have to account for traffic stops and giving way to other vehicles and pedestrians.

              @Clear: I’m from Vic and sadly this is true. I really want these to be legal here just so I can ride it to and from the train station… so worried about getting in trouble from the police here because the fines are crazy high!!

        I have although I have the one with 40-45km range and if you look at the test conditions for the quoted range its something like flat surface, 65kg rider travelling at 15km/h.

        So yeah in a general sense the range is not great (probably 15-20km for most) if you're heavier, ride hills or ride faster which most people will do at least 1 or more of those things.

        Not sure why you're getting negged for simply stating reality. Offending people's ignorance?

            @Clear: WTF you talking about dude… pointing out the fact that for 550 bucks it has a pretty average range. For around the same price when on sale you can get something with much better range… it might be OK for you but for others keen to buy its worth noting.. Geez!

            • Clear on 16/01/2023 - 11:27

              WTF you talking about dude…

              In a nutshell. For this price you're not going to get much better.

              • Gavman on 16/01/2023 - 11:30

                @Clear: That isn't the point. If it was $200 it still wouldn't change the fact

                  +1

                  @Gavman: For $200 you're in a kids scooter range and you'll get a whole lot less. For under $1000 you're not going to get much over 30-40km range. If you're wanting more range, say 40-80km range then you're looking at $1400+.

                  • Gavman on 16/01/2023 - 11:35

                    @Clear: I've seen plenty of scooters on sales for 600-900 mark that do 45-65km range.. sure they not on sale all time but gettable… This might be a good deal but fact is range on this even at $550 is average so I dont see the negativity in pointing that out.

                    • Clear on 16/01/2023 - 11:42

                      @Gavman: Which ones are those? It's as 4foxache mentioned the advertise range conditions aren't always the same as real world usage.

                      Plus I'm not the one running around negging you FWIW.

                            @Clear: Appreciate it! just had too look bit harder and can get much better value… i dont dismiss this isnt a good scooter and the range may suit people but IMO if you are already investing 500-600 bucks the extra couple hundred is well worth getting something with much greater range in the same ball park.. espicaly the pro4 looks like a much better build too than the pro2

                    • Trosticles on 16/01/2023 - 12:59

                      @Gavman: I was looking for a long time and didn't really see this. $600 for 45km range I would have pounced on.

                      The F40/A occasionally got down to about $700 for up to 45km range. The G30 was about $800 refurb for 65km, but generally $1100+ new. PCByte had lower end Segways with extra batteries to get you to 45km for about $600 briefly, but missed it. In the end, I have 2 x $400 T15s - slow but light and does about 13km, and good for the kids - and 2 x Emove Cruisers (purchased from a liquidation sale) - 23kg, 50kph, 100km range, much more comfortable, eats hills.

                      If I were to get one scooter now, this is pretty much at a sweet spot for price and range for a decent scooter with warranty.

                      • Gavman on 16/01/2023 - 15:09

                        @Trosticles: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/751445 — $840 55km range.. sounds like better value to me

                        • Trosticles on 16/01/2023 - 15:35
                          +1

                          @Gavman: Perhaps. Horses for courses. More range = more weight, too and that can be a bigger issue for some, especially if taking on train or carrying at all. It is 50% more expensive, too.

                          I got the T15 for my daughter and it's light enough for her to take off the charger and get going. And it's pretty. $550 I might have stretched to for her. $840 would be a firm "no" and the extra range would be a complete waste, so no value there for me.

      • Increase1 on 16/01/2023 - 13:10
        +1

        I mean, the range really is crap. The previous model of this exact scooter (Mi Scooter Pro 2) had 45km range - I own that one and it only just gets the job done.

        Flooring the scooter on an empty footpath with good visibility is kinda standard despite the change in law to a 12km/hr max (25km/hr was the previous legal limit for scooters and cyclists). Honestly, anyone that rides these things knows 12km/hr is slow as and pretty laughable when you have clear visibility way ahead of you…

        • Clear on 16/01/2023 - 13:36

          Technically the Pro 2 isn't a predecessor due to the Pro part. This is considered to be the successor to the M365 just to be confusing.

          The Pro 2 is where I was getting 30km range.

          • Increase1 on 16/01/2023 - 17:09

            @Clear: Right, I see - seems the market for the M365 shouldn't have any issues with this then

    I'm keen to ride this to train stations on office days. I'm in south eastern Melbourne area and have 14 mins drive to the nearest train station from my home.

      It would prob fold down so you can carry it. While these would be illegal to ride on roads in Melbourne (technically) in a couple of months hopefully that changes

      bought one of these for my sons to commute. No bag, but it folds easily. Quite heavy if you had to carry it a distance, and carrying it by the folded upright would probably be the easiest way. Having it bang against your side inside a bag would be annoying.

      Too big for a carry bag, and the handle folds down to the base. But that being said, wheeling this into the office wouldn't feel weird for me, and if there was a viable route to my closest train station I'd ride mine to and from.

  • Enterz on 16/01/2023 - 11:25

    These are good scooters, but the tyres get flats easily and are ludicrously difficult to change. The Pro 4 upgraded to ten inch self healing.

    You can add slime to these, but it doesn't work that well in my experience.

    • Enterz on 16/01/2023 - 11:25

      I ended up putting solid tyres on

    • Clear on 16/01/2023 - 11:30
      +4

      I find that if your tyre pressure is wrong you'll get a flat real easy. The general guide for these Xiaomi scooters are the following:

      At a load of 50-70kg: the front wheel is 35-40psi, the rear wheel is 40-50psi.
      At a load of 70-90kg: the front wheel is 40-45psi, the rear wheel is 45-55psi.
      At a load of 90-100kg: the front wheel is 45-50psi, the rear wheel is 50-60psi.
      At a load of more than 100 kg: it is recommended to pump up to 50-55psi front and 60-65psi rear, but careful driving is recommended. The risk of puncture increases with weight gain.

      Plus you should use Green Slime at a minimum or Armor Dilloz if you don't mind spending more to seal up small punctures.

    Some comments around range. Every use cause is different but having owned a long range scooter I preferred using scooters shorter commutes that are usually 20-30mim walk, as not all paths are great for scooting and the weight of a long range scooter sucks to lug around. I was finding a 20min+ scooter journey was be uncomfortable (on the back, knees w/ a 35+ yr old bod)

  • lawyerz on 16/01/2023 - 12:32

    • Eatoff on 16/01/2023 - 13:51

      I would do it. The battery is much bigger on the pro, and so it will allow it to supply more current at lower voltages while putting less stress on the battery. It is a bit longer and heavier though. Depends what you need it for and how much you're going to be carrying it.
