you sound like the Jeremy Clarkson of scooters lol

Its like watching TopGear for eletric scooters by Jeremy Clarkson, with the cinematic voice over 😂 love it 👌

This is amazing! Edited almost exactly like Top Gear! Subscribed 👌

Best video on the M365 I've seen. No one seems to talk about how the folding mechanism breaks mostly because of people pulling on the bars backwards when accelerating/ pushing forwards when stopping. Most riders don't know that scooters are ridden like a skateboard and using the handlebars only for balance. Xiaomi should have tested this more and made it stronger. Also, use tire levers if you need to change a flat - small wheel diameter + pneumatic tires = lots of leverage needed (some bicycle tire models are hard to change too).

You belong to the audience now mate, such good review, God bless you, looking forward for another good videos!

Love the quality of your video and content, dron footage are just amazing, "Braveheart" of scooters.

You have convinced me to subscribe after 3 high quality videos that I've discovered from your channel. I laughed out loud during the 16th seconds of this video.

Bunnahabian, Laphroig, Caol Ila... that's my man! Greetings from Poland!:)

First review I’ve seen of yours and instantly subscribed!!. The editing and quality of these reviews is 🔥🔥

Man! I never thought I could be entertained by a scooter review, awesome review!

I'm still waiting for the Stig's track time.

this guy deserves a tv show lol. amazingly produced

100% agree, changing the back tire was the most aggravating thing Ive done in my entire life or at least as far as I can remember. I also blew the one I put on and had to do it again.

Thanks for your review mate, I appreciate your content and I agree with most of what you said about the scooter. I got mine 4 months ago and since then I got two flats on both front and rear tires :(. I'm now looking at solid tires and am somehow terrified about how hard they fit. A personal tip for this scooter is to grease the handlebars folding system with some quality water resistant grease. Makes a difference from heaven to earth on the folding effort and protects the folding mechanism.

I have my m365 for a month now. I have done 230kms so far. Last night i had a puncture on the rear tire. I know it's going to be hard to fix but the joy i am getting out of this thing is so worth the troubles. Sadly i am moving to Sydney at the end of June and can't take it there. I am really really sad to leave it behind. Anyway, also yesterday i saw a notice on mi home page about Xiaomi recalling some m365s having an issue with the folding mechanism(it's breaking on the move). You can enter your serial number there to see if yours is one of the affected ones. Luckily mine is ok. Hope yours will be too guys. Thanks for the review Stu!

What a grerat review! Thank You & greeting from Hollywood CA. USA .

Outstanding review, props! 🙌🏿

I know this comment is a little late but just bought myself a Xiaomi M365 scooter to commute to work in my local town. Thanks for the tips and I love the way you made your video in line with Top Gear. Subbed up and thanks again Stu

You're awesome! Love the sense of humor and great quality of this video. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the great review.

Great review and funny too. 20 minutes long doesn not feel like a drag 😊

Im more amazed by a british guy not using the metric system

subscribed off the back of this video. really informative, entertaining and beautifully shot. well done! :)

Really amazing and professional review, subscribed👍🏻👍🏻

A policeman was stood right next to me and asked to have a go on mine. He said ride the scooter like you would a bike, with the respect of other road users

The beginning is so dramatic but i love it 😅 and you sound like Jeremy Clarkson

Great review Stu, love the classic line @7:16 - the tyres are made of air !

The Chinese on the scooter says when the bottom light is green, the scooter is in eco mode, and when the light is white, the scooter is in normal mode.

Clever intro. I got that xiaomi, helped me with work commute, and it's very sturdy. My only problem with it, or just with many e scooters in general, is that it can only go 25 km/h, whereas my average tempo with a bike is much faster, so it feels a bit sluggish, but it's just me really. I'll think about custom software to speed it up, but kinda afraid to do it. Also the range on this thing is insane.

I have my M365 since December and I’ve driven 350km. I have had 2 issues. 1: Rear light - connector broke ofd 2: Front tire - replaced with airless pure rubber

I like your editing stile, when i see and listen to you top gear comes to my mind wich i like them very much..overall i like your rewiews and you have a nice voice for it..cheers

First time i view your review and i absolutely like it so perfect so honest! And i subscribed haha no hesitation i just did subscribe i like it so much

I can't imagine the start of this video these days when there's scooters that go double, triple even the speeds of the xiaomi m365. This review had me set on this scooter and I've loved using it. It's the most cost effective, fast scooter. I'm thinking of getting a faster scooter with suspension soon though but those are double the price of the pro model, between 3-4x the price of the normal m365. My first m365 broke in a few weeks too, might have just been faulty but I got a replacement which hasn't broke thankfully. Biggest two tips is avoid bumps/jumps and especially water. I never jumps but bumps cause the most damage and well, water will destroy it I accidentally went through a giant puddle and it survived, one time though I got lucky.

Aside from the great review, I loved the scenes and editing. What part of the UK was this?

Great video! I don't even own an electric scooter but this video had me hooked. Great location too! Where was that filmed?

Absolutely brilliant video, well shot, great narration and well written script. I’m not even interested in a scooter, but watched the whole thing.

Nice review! I just want to mention that my M365 seem to limit the speed when going downhill - I can almost feel the engine braking despite holding down the throttle. So I don't get the poor braking performance that you demonstrated.... anyway, nice thorough and honest review.

Awesome review, i like your humor. Greetings from Vilnius :)

Mannnn! New to this channel! You are awesome

What a great review! Thanks so much!!!

One of the best and expert Tech Analyst have ever seen! The efforts behind the scene reflect in quality and perfection of this video. The presentation is superb!

I am a big fun of ptev's .My m365 has 1000km in 2 years,I put slime in tyres from day one and no panctures so far, recently installed a display from the pro model and custom firmware- highly recommended. The 30km claimed range is actually 20-22 for my 80kg weight. I own an old bike made electric with a hub kit for up to 80km trips ,a Xiaomi ninebot mini with 3000km onboard in 3 years (i only changed tyres once and know i have ordered a replacement battery because range is about 60% from the original 20km range) great for short commuting ,has smaller footprint and you can drink a coffee with the hands beeing free. Regards from Greece,keep the good work.

As others of stated. There Clarkson is strong with you and that’s a huge compliment. Keep it up👍🏻

Just for the old BBC Top Gear feel with this vid I'm gonna subscribe. I love this and I got what I needed to know about the product.

If someone jumps out in front of you, and you kill then whole riding a scooter going only like 15-20mph, then they already had one foot in heaven my friend....

Thanks as I am the market for one...thinking of the Pro version

Great video. I thoroughly empathized when you described your efforts to change the rear tyre. I went through *exactly* the same thing yesterday and ended up with a new tube inside a new tyre, after much sweating, grunting, swearing and ripped skin only to find that, like you, I had torn the tube and pumping air into it was as much use as trying to use an ashtray on a motorbike. Here in NZ it it legal to ride them, but Lime scooters here in Auckland have been ordered off the road due to the high number of people making ACC (Accident Compensation Commission) claims for injuries largely caused by their stupidity. But private scooters are not affected. The ACC (Auckland City Council) is going all in for this mode of transport, so I think they were reluctant to stop the Lime franchise from operating here.

Hi stu, that’s what I needed to hear pragmatic no propaganda. Realistic as over the next 6 months while I train in skilling and servicing on my adult kick scooter I hope it will help me to adapt to the xioumis nuances. Here in Australia there are a few local retailers who stock them. Here to they are affordable and for the short rides to the train over another 12 months would make it financially viable too.thankyou for the realistic review and I will definitely look for one with hard tyres as it would be no different to what I am riding now on the terrain I ride on

Actually in Lithuania bicycle driving rules apply to electric scooters and other similar electric transport. Anything with 25km/h speed limit and up to 1kW motor is considered as a bicycle. You must overtake pedestrian at the pedestrian speed (6-7 km/h) if you are driving on the sidewalk, because there is no bicycle lane or it is not safe to drive (bumps are present) on that lane.

Very good - Thought I watching Top Gear for a moment. Nice images, nice commentary and useful info. Interesting we almost fell of ours earlier today when I braked because I thought the brake was too sharp. I would like to see some sort of luggage storage for it be really cool.

Nice review and honest ! Congrats !

Been following your work for while and though I'd let you know what I tell my Mrs. When watching your vids it feels like I'm watching a show on national tv. Think I left a msg awhile ago that you should present top gear. Now I know what I meant. You are Clarksons son!

18:00-19:40 I was like.. "Is this Top Gear??" :-D Super review :-)

tip for installing solid tires: get yourself a set of motorcycle tire levers dont get me wrong its still difficult but will be way easier than using your hands

I subbed but excellent quality review. I love the scooter and I hope to get it one day

Thanks for the review mate. Love watching these vids. It's like the old school gadget show! When it still had the bald guy lol

Love that footage on the dam, and a great review.

honestly I bought it here in Italy locally for 340€ and hadn't any problems what so ever, same for my friends in Germany and Austria

Feels like I’m watching Topgear! Subbed :)

Great review! Awesome drone shots! I've had my M365 for three months now. The first thing I did was replace the folding mechanism with a solid collar. I ordered a wooden deck from Berry Boards in England. The board is awesome. I have also placed a small spring over the brake cable to ensure that the brake does not drag. Also bought a Nutcase helmet after a nasty crash into a little pot hole. (Better late than never!) Have not had tire issues yet, but know I will. Overall, it's pretty nice for the price. When it wears out, I will be looking into the Boosted Rev.

Came across this as a result of potentially purchasing one for my daughter, who currently drives her six cylinder BMW to the beach so she can walk, run and exercise (currently locked down due to virus). Anyway, I searched for a review on the scooter I’d found for sale (£275) and bingo, I found you. Fantastic video, obviously took much planning. Great script, various shots including drone and ‘dead pan’ humour that entertained. Bloody brilliant. Subscribed and once I get my income back after the virus, I’ll donate, cheers Geoff

Xiaomi M365 Pro is really good, but it still retains all the flaws and issues from the first model of rear fender breaking and rear light cable damaging from the tire rubbing, folding mechanism loosening and even breaking, very thin cheap tires that get punctured fast, quite bad water resistance and battery shaking with eventually breaking conctacts for quite heavy vibrations. Nontheless fantastic scooter, specially with unlock top speed to 32-35 km/h. It is probably the best scooter for the price, but can not wait for the Segway Ninebot Max which is basically M365 Pro just improved by quite a lot. Would be really nice to see a good review of that thing.

Enjoyed your review. As with the Chinese instructions: green light is economic mode, white is normal mode. Short press to power button to turn on, long press to switch off. One short press to power button while is on, to switch on the head light, long press to switch off. Short press twice to change mode. 😊👍.

Really great review! If possible, would love to see a review of the boosted Rev someday! :)

After watching this video, I bought a Xiaomi M365, eScooter will soon be legalized here in Germany ... but only with 20 km/h and only with insurance and number plate and no, I'm not joking. My work is only 6,9 km away and I can drive there on quiet country roads ... I also like to live dangerously!

Amen! My front tire burst twice and each time, well, the first time more than the second, it was the single worst experience of my life. If I were to commit suicide, the difficulty of changing the tire on a M365 would make the first paragraph of my suicide note. Changing the front tire on this thing was an absolutely devastating experience. So, I, like you, wanted to switch to the solid tire, so that I would never have to change a tire again. But then I read that the solid tire is much harder to change than the inflatable kind. So, when my front tire burst a second time, I once again replaced it with another inflatable tire with an inner tube. It was once again a terrible, awful experience, but instead of being the worst experience of my life, it was more like the 8th worst experience of my life. You get one side on, and the other side comes off, then the other side on, and that the first side comes off, and back, and forth, and back and forth, and, I should be wearing gloves!! My hands!! And then finally, and kind of randomly, and with a whimper, the tire is all of the sudden, all the way on, and my reaction was..... restrained jubilation, because I really just feel ill used by Xiaomi. It's like a rape that inevitably ends only because it has to end. Because the rapist has to go the bathroom and eat. Next time a tire pops on my scooter, I will be ready, because I now have 2 dollars worth of plastic tire irons from Aliexpress. All the Xiaomi M365 tire changing videos barely even mention how hard it is. They act like it's an easy 5 minute task. Also, during my two tire changes, I've done some damage to the grey wire. Most of the casing is off and some wire is exposed. Still works though. I bought a new grey wire from Aliexpress for $5, for that inevitable day when it not longer works. But if that day ever comes, I'll just buy a new front wheel/motor with tire already installed for like $40 or $50 from Aliexpress or some other China type site. It's crazy that the front tire, that somehow has a MOTOR INSIDE OF IT, and with a tire already installed on it, costs around $45 online, but so be it. Thanks again Jeremy Clarkson. You're a talented guy.

Great review stu - subbed 👍

I am using Xiaomi Mijia for 6 months on a daily basis to go to work. got it with 290 Pounds. I saved a lot of money and time during this time, I am doing 9 Miles minimum per day. It was funny to see your review about changing the tyres. I went thru that adventure twice, now I have 2 solid airless tyres which gives me a piece of mind about the glass on the pavement from iresponsabile drinkers. I wish these things will become legal in UK, as they are so useful, safe, friendly for environment, etc, etc, I really can't say anything negative. So far can hear only Brexit news around here. Thank you for your review.

7:13 "the tires are made of air" - Stu's Reviews 2019

Laphroaig, Bunnahabian and Caol Ila in the back gives you even more credibility.

Great Review. Gonna go get me one of those scooters 😉👍.

Fantastic review. Very 'Top Gear' like. The good, the bad and (unfortunately) the ugly. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. You definitely have a new subscriber.

Serbia here: my repairman changed back tyre in couple of minutes for 2 eur. Don't understand why ppl try to fix something and get frustrated if you can pay someone who really knows how to do something.

Best review I've seen yet. I got 100km or so on mine, already punctured the back tire and paid $25 to for professionals to put a solid on. Also got some slight wobble so I ordered the little part to put in the mechanism. If you are using it for transportation (not recreation where no one is around you) I would recommend to SLOW down, stay in the road/bike lanes if at all possible, don't ride at night unless you outfit the scooter/yourself for that purpose. I've had a few close calls by not following these simple rules. You'll be surprised how far you can go just sticking it in ECO mode and using your foot to pedal assist. Then coast down the hills.

Your review looks very professional.

Outstanding review, and funny 😂

Excellent quality of the video mate, well done! Though I see you don't care much about your safety so I think you could replace the mainboard(with those 4 lights) for PRO version, have more info like speed readout, then you can hack it by uploding firmware that will allow you to increase the power and maximum speed up to like 45kph.

Same happened to me but I got the honeycomb hard tires after. Fu. Ing. tire I had to cook the tire to get it in the weel

Great video. real quality content! Got the ES2 instead of this! Got it for 435 pounds on a sale :) thinking of getting the extra battery as well!

The reason why they the government won't make these scooters road legal along with other electric vehicles is quite simple. They want you to keep buying petrol. The Eco friendly progressive thought only goes so far, but when it threatens Taxation and Duty, you can stuff your scooters where the sun don't shine. They aren't interested in saving the environment. I've been all over Europe, in most cities you can hire these scooters for peanuts and off you go. Like Jeremy MK2 said, the laws date back to Viking days and they are not in any great hurry to review the relevance of such laws.

Use zip ties when changing the tires. both, ro make the tire rounder so it sits deeper in the groove and also to hold it when you force it on. Also, i used two spoons (the other end) to help.

That was a very comprehensive review I found it very helpful 👍🏾

Dude that bridge at the end was sweet.

I am anxiously waiting for you to tell. “This is the best electric scooter (pause like Clarkson) in the world”

I asked two coppers exactly this... 'What's your opinion on electric scooters? They said 'erm, what?'... I said would you stop me if you saw me riding it on the road etc and they laughed and said no like they couldn't give a shit...

Hey bro// love the video

Your reviews should be on national tv also before tv goes extinct! Excellent is an understatement

u sound like man from top gear in the old days

Where do you keep your other set of hands?

Of course, I clicked on your video, because of the helpful review, but I also fell in love with the beautiful scenery in the last shoot. Can you please reveal the location of this dam?

I love your review! Those e-scooters, especially personal ones are legal in many US states and cities. Many cities around where I live (south of LA) are flooded by e-scooters one can rent. I find riding them a lot of fun too. Two weeks ago I ordered an electric scooter which is based on Xiaomi 365, but is an advanced version of it. It is called Segway Kickscooter Max, and it can go with speeds up to 18 mph for up to 40 miles on a single charge. The production has not started yet, but I hope I will get mine sometime this July. According to the local laws, riders must have valid driver's license to operate an e-scooter. Registration and license plate is not needed. You must wear a helmet. You must use a bicycle lane if it is available. It is unlawful to ride it on the roads with speed limits that exceed 25 mph, and you should never drive faster than 15 mph. No riding on sidewalks. That'd pretty much summed it up.

I ride it for 2 years now, so I'm able to change the tyres with my bare hands :)

June 2019 you say? You ain't going to believe what happens in 7 months time.

Very professional video, your channel will blow up soon !

Beautiful review sir

Fantastically made video mate, thanks for raising awareness to legalisation within the UK. Hopefully the petition can make a change!

As far as I know the locking hinge comes reinforced since a while back. You can test it out with a magnet. If it's magnetic, you've got the reinforced version.

LOL - Loved this review !! Thanks

I enjoy riding mine it's not the fastest scooter on the market but I have a car for commuting so it's a local nip to the shops toy for me and it's brilliant. Would recommend flashing it.

What a thoroughly brilliant, interesting, informative and fun review.
