Xiaomi m365 Scooter Review | Best Value Experience For The Money: One Year Later

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a long awaited full review of my beloved Xiaomi m365 electric scooter which I purchased almost as soon as I moved to Metro Manila in the Philippines in February of 2019 as a means of getting around. When I was living in Brooklyn in New York City, I always had my own car ever since I finished college. Moving to the Philippines, I knew that I had to adjust and so getting an electric scooter seemed like the perfect solution.
Now, a year and a half since starting to use it for anything from short trips to the supermarket to help me carry the groceries, to visiting my in-laws in another part of the city, or just simply driving it around to explore the surrounding areas, I could not hope for a better mode of transportation, which you can learn about in this video!

    Nice review, I'd like to try one sometime, probably need one with suspension and decent power here in Yorkshire uk, as roads are full of potholes and steep hills. I'm loving my ebikes but a scooter will be more practical for storage and taking into shops etc where the ebike isnt allowed and not safe to leave chained up outside.

    I'm glad you liked the review, this one really meant a lot to me because unlike my previous three scooter review videos, this is the only one actually belongs to me and I have been riding it since early March of last year. The majority of the time though I ride it on decently paved roads with only very occasional hills. In your case, I strongly recommend looking into one of the newer iterations of the Xiaomi scooter. The original m365 is the light weight among the 4 or so options now available. None of them would be considered heavy duty either, but you could get improved acceleration for the hills. None of them come with built in suspension as far as I know, but because this is such a popular line of scooters, there are plenty of third party suspension add-ons that can solve the pothole issue and still save you money versus buying a more expensive scooter that comes with a suspension. I hope this has been helpful, and please do check out some other videos in the playlist section of my channel, including the other scooter reviews that you might enjoy. Cheers!

    It definitely is a great model, but you should also check out some of the newer versions of the Xiaomi scooters as well. They did make some adjustments and improved a few things here and there, for an added cost and some extra weight. For now you can recommend that your friends watch this review! 😍

I'm in the process of getting a power boost mod for it, so there will be an update review coming up sometime in the near future.

    @@jirt3556 thank you so much for reaching out and for your support! I'm sorry for the late response, but here is what I found out about the same temperature range for the type of batteries that are in this scooter: All 18650 batteries researched need a storage range of between -20 ~ +50°C (-4°F ~ + 122°F) or they will degrade, so this is a good rule of thumb to use. Also keep in mind the maximum temperature for storage should never exceed +60°C (140°F). It is better to store in a cold environment, than a hot one.
