 Comparison between the 2 models scooters from Xiaomi: M365 and M365 Pro.

The design of the 2 models, M365 and M365 Pro is exactly the same with robust and futuristic lines.Its aluminum frame and materials inspire confidence. The clean lines of this scooter make it an elegant object and perfect for everyday trips. It is aimed more at an adult audience (minimum 12 years old).

While the first model of the Chinese brand offered a engine of 250W, its new motor achieves the 300W power.The big advantage is the gain in power (restricted to 25 km / h), you accelerate faster and the climb on slopes of more than 30 ° will be easier. Even if in this case of configuration it will block at 15 km / h, the gain compared to the first model is 5 km / h (user weight 75kg).

The main criteria Xiaomi M365 Pro selections:

  • The drums at lithium-ion is the best on the market, 30% higher on the pro version, it is the same as that fitted to our smartphones. This is from 9600 Mah (milliampere hour). In addition the system KERS coupled with this battery allows when you release the accelerator to recover energy so that it is reinjected into the battery and increase its autonomy.

  • The Autonomy is 30 km for the standard version and 45 km for the pro version in eco mode on the flat. The range depends on your weight and the gradient of the road. Note that in steep climbs greater than 10 ° the loss of battery life is greater.For a course including 50% flat, 20% slope of 10 ° slope, 10% descent and 20% of 20 ° slope, the battery life is expected to reach 30 km on the pro version, plenty to keep during of your long daily journeys.For the recharge, there is one full recharge time between 8 and 9 hours. Remember to recharge it at night so that you never run out of batteries.

  • On your handlebar we find a doorbell, combined with hook to attach it to the rear wheel, a accelerator and one control panel (screen).

  • Screen : This is a led display whose control panel tells you: Your speed in km / h. 3 speed modes, represented by the letters Eco, D and S. The state of charge of the battery represented by 3 side bars. Lighting of the lighthouse and Bluetooth connectivity. Key and if need repair.

The technical criteria of the Xiaomi M365 Pro:

  • Brake disc, we go from 110 to 120 mm for more safety during emergency braking. By this is meant that the braking distance is reduced.An anti-lock braking system for the wheels (ABS) is integrated in the front wheel.

  • Tray larger and wider footrest for 43 cm wide for more comfort and a better distribution of balance. You will be clearly at ease during your long journeys to go to your place of work.

  • The tires tubes are similar on both models. They have the advantage of better absorbing blows and better grip on wet roads, but the risk of punctures is higher than on solid tires.

  • The maximum weight supported by the user is 120kg for the pro version and 100 kg for the standard version. For sizes over 1.85m, you will find that the handlebar height is a bit low. Too bad there aren’t several sizes of settings.

  • The mobile appsM365 more or M365 Dashboard display complete information about your trips. You will be able to view the route of your journey, display the acceleration and braking parameters and even lock the front wheel from your smartphone.

How to use LCD control screen on the Xiaomi M365 Pro?

Its use is quite simple, for 3 control modes (central button):

-A pressure of 3 seconds for switch on switch off the scooter.-A pressure of 1 second for turn on / off front light.-A pressure of 2 seconds for alternate between the 3 speed modes.

Eco = 15km / h Standard (drive) = 18 km / h Sport = 25 km / h.

It is not possible to adjust the speed otherwise, because you can only activate the throttle fully, which is why Xiaomi had the good idea to integrate 3 speed modes.

In case of failure of light signals orange / red will automatically appear on the scooter LCD screen.

How? ‘Or’ What store my electric scooter Xiaomi M365 pro?

For put it away, nothing could be simpler: you lower the crank located on the side bar, then you lower it so that it comes hook on the rear fender.

For the carry, you just have to lift by the side bare.

If you want the park in town, attach it to a fixed point using the small lock supplied with the scooter. But be aware that it will simply block the rear wheel.The kickstand located on the side of the platform will make her stand up.

To avoid having it stolen from you, we advise you to purchase an additional U-lock has attached to a fixed point. You can also buy a anti-theft insurance for 39th / year.

From a point of view legislative for electric scooters.

Remember that electric scooters are not allowed on sidewalks. You should travel on the road or cycle paths. In the absence of cycle paths, you can travel on the road at 25km / h max or on the air pedestrians at the maximum speed of 6 km / h.

You can park on sidewalks provided this does not interfere with pedestrians. For the models limited to 25km / h, you do not need to use a license plate and make a prior declaration to the town hall.

For more security, we recommend at least the purchase of a helmet, and protectors for knees and elbows.
