The good:
- It's easy to ride, great height for taller people (I'm 6'1, 82kg) and can definitely haul along on straight roads
- Relatively easy to carry on short distances folded down, i can carry it about 100m into my office without too much hassle
- The HUD is a good advantage over the regular M365 with no display.
- Battery life is pretty good, I get 10km round trip to work on about 20-25% with some mild-medium gradient hills - about 10% mostly flat/down to work, and about 15% uphill going home.
- Range is decent if you stick to Eco or Drive, but you will need Sports on if you need to tackle anything other than mostly flat terrain...view more The good:

- Range is decent if you stick to Eco or Drive, but you will need Sports on if you need to tackle anything other than mostly flat terrain, as Auckland footpaths are mostly uneven
- Brakes are responsive and can be set to user preference in the app
- Cruise control is quite effective in maintaining battery levels
- More power and battery life/range than the M365 in my opinion

The bad
- No suspension means you feel most bumps, and on the average NZ road, there will be a lot. There is a solution for the front wheel with the Monorim V2 spring suspension kit you can get on Ebay for about $100 which is my next consideration.
- The air tyres do help with cushioning, but are highly prone to puncture and are an absolute nightmare to change if you aren't experienced. Tyre slime is an option, but nost so effective I found. Most bike or scooter shops charge anywhere form $50-$90 to change them over. I went to solid tyres after dealing with this - no more punctures but the trade off is a loss of battery and power on hills as the solids don't grasp as much - I would say I lost about 15-20% power/battery life overall which is noticeable as I'm having to kick it along up some hills I easily made before.

Overall, these are a great scooter and pretty well made for a mass-procuded item like this, though they aren't comprable to the higher spec stuff like Zero 9 or 10 which is about $4-500 more but with better handling and power/range. If you are doing commutes along flat surfaces most of the time, no problems!

If these came with rubber tyres and full suspension, they'd be hard to beat.

This is definitely worth the purchase since the latest revised 2019 model has fixed several issues from the original m365, like the increased torque & acceleration for greater hill inclines up to 20° degree angle, the folding mechanism joint (bolt & rattling issue) has been amended, an inclusion of the LCD screen (useful), slightly wider dimensions (great for more leg room), speed no longer slows down right after you dip below 60% battery life, thicker brake discs for greater braking power, bell has a slightly different chime-like sound, handle bar grip has a slightly updated texture feel, slightly brighter headlights and yeah both tyres are...view more This is definitely worth the purchase since the latest revised 2019 model has fixed several issues from the original m365, like the increased torque & acceleration for greater hill inclines up to 20° degree angle, the folding mechanism joint (bolt & rattling issue) has been amended, an inclusion of the LCD screen (useful), slightly wider dimensions (great for more leg room), speed no longer slows down right after you dip below 60% battery life, thicker brake discs for greater braking power, bell has a slightly different chime-like sound, handle bar grip has a slightly updated texture feel, slightly brighter headlights and yeah both tyres are still the same as the original hehe!

I have found the Scooter to be fun to use and very reliable. I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking of buying a Scooter for commuting around where the gradient is low on your commute route.

Fantastic scoot. Only let down by the buggy official app; recommend the unofficial m365tools & m365dash instead. Fantastic scoot. Only let down by the buggy official app; recommend the unofficial m365tools & m365dash instead.

This is a wonderful purchase for a relatively cheap price. Electric cars are out of my price range, so I appreciate this scooter as an alternative, more eco-friendly mode of transport. Handy in that it can fit in a car. Also just super fun. This is a wonderful purchase for a relatively cheap price.

Honestly have no complaints. If you are looking for a scooter look no further and just get this one. Honestly have no complaints. If you are looking for a scooter look no further and just get this one.

Love my scooter. The build quality seems really solid and the look is great. I am nearing 70 now but the scooter felt safe and was easy to ride. I used to ride motorcycles in my youth so like to think I know a stable vehicle when I drive one. This is stable. Instructions are good, when I found them. To be fair, my fault. All in all well worth the money. Love my scooter. The build quality seems really solid and the look is great. I am nearing 70 now but the scooter felt safe and was easy to ride.

all good love it all good love it

The M365 pro gets me to work, quickly, quietly, and avoids the morning rush hour traffic. Great fun, too! The M365 pro gets me to work, quickly, quietly, and avoids the morning rush hour traffic. Great fun, too!

I have always liked reviews of the Xiaomi M365, but didn’t buy one because I live on a hill. When the pro version came out and reviews looked good I thought it was time to buy. Unfortunately, it isn’t as strong as I expected. I am 85kg clothed, and it slows right down even on gentle slopes. Giving the occasional kick helps it get to hills; I was just hoping not to need to do this. Other than this, I am happy with it.
