- "fits in the back of my Nissan Leaf"
* Proceeds to dump it in the back of a Tesla
You gotta hand it to him for not mentioning the Tesla lol. Majority of Tesla owners are like vegans and crossfitters....they let it be known they own a Tesla!
Rich Boy. 🤣
"The light even works at night" I'm mind blown 😜
I know I heard it too and I was... omg u are one stupid dude... is he serious?
XxKazxX xoxo hhhh
XxKazxX xoxo ur stupid as well when u said I heard too
We all did
@@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233 he meant it's even ''usable'' at night and not useless.. there are leds for bicycles that are completely useless.. you'll be visible to others, but won't see much. He probably meant that, you can use this as a headlight to see and not only to be seen.
That's a cool deal-breaker feature. omg I'm sold
Your Nissan Leaf looks suspiciously a lot like Tesla Model X :)
Who came here after marques brownlee's scooter video?
Me
Me
Ur a psychic 😂
me
Correct
If you sprain your ankle getting off of your electric scooter you might want to reassess your life.
No I have it not true
xoxo_Jayden Possible you don’t understand the comment. At least your reply would lead me to believe that.
Wants no bumps, but then wants a low deck. Dude. .. really
he didnt say the high deck was a bad thing, just something to note. thus why its not in the Cons section
This is a really good review. The video actually shows a lot of the product and how it looks while riding it unlike other reviews that keeps focusing on the presenters face. Really informative. Thanks!
Fun scooter. See them everywhere on the street.
Keep the red light on. It's better for safety.
You mean the bird scooter? Well they did look almost the same lol
@@haishen9474 they are the same...
Something I miss on the scooter is that you don't see the speed on the panel, only battery life. Would be nice to see what speed you're in.
@6:20 almost lost a shoe? :D
Great job on the video. One of the best scooter reviews I've seen. Thanks!
You mentioned pneumatic tires. Any idea how difficult it would be to repair a flat? As a cyclist, I know that flats happen regularly.
Just bought mine off Amazon for $400 last week to travel from where I park to ride to work. This scooter comes with 2 spare tires and inner tubes. However, from other videos I have seen, it is kind of difficult to change out the spares.
Just bought one of these this week and I love it for zipping around my small town. Great review!
Great review. We've rented Bird scooters in town (they use this scooter for their fleet) and I found it to ride very well. I'm a big boy and it didn't really have the power to pull my fat ass up steep hills, but I'm capable of kicking in those rare situations. It's very tempting to pick one of these up.
Come on, the socks... they are safer than condoms. Couldn't unsee.
/Love from Europe
Came here to see if it was not just me. Cool video and nice review, but you have to rethink those shoes and socks combination damn ahah
@@PsfhC he looks like he is at THAT part of his young age...let him get over it naturaly...don't hurt feelings xD
guy dresses like a total goofball, pretty much all i could think about during the video. didnt listen to a single world
But those are pretty normal here in australia. I just find it odd that it looks weird from some part of the world.
Pretty pathetic to criticize the way people dress tbh
Bought one on this review and what fantastic fun
great review! please always include the metric units as well. only USA, Liberia and Myanmar using imperial system. as I can imagine your audience is quite international. Thanks.
He probably doesnt know the conversion for metric system.
@@beccaham then he can look it up lol.. So thousand of people that watch the video doesn't have to to it
The whole of the UK understands inches and miles
We use inches, feet & miles in construction sites almost everywhere in the world
Yeah. I want one now. The only problem is I am not sure how much I’d use it. I only go locally for shopping and I don't think that'll work. My 10-year-old boy might like it in 2 years (he'd like it now but he's a little too young). Anyway this is a great idea and I hope the world rewards them.
Jessie, This a well thought out and presented product review. Thanks!
I always learn from your videos...you have a gift.
I have this scooter. It's not as amazing as all these reviews say it is. A lot of components are prone to wear and tear and you need to constantly maintain it. Especially the lock/swing joint/bearing head location. But then again, I ride this in NYC and the condition of the roadways are usually a laughing matter so that may contribute to the quicker wear and tear on my unit. YMMV.
Also, there's a "defect" that is notorious with this scooter and that is the locking mechanism which is an easy fix if you do preventative measures when the scooter is new otherwise it will only get worst over time.
Hey Jesse! Nice review! I was thinking of making this a group present for a friend's birthday and you convinced me! I made my own electric scooter from a Yedoo City scooter (they are awesome) and I always use a helmet when riding in the city. I was wondering if you were doing the same as you said you also ride in the city? If you don't, I strongly suggest you to do so, it saved my life once already! Keep up the good work and see you on Patreon (or when you visit Europe/France with the roadster)!
Great to have regen breaks!! Awesome video!!
I purchased a GOTRAX Glider electric scooter and love it! This Xiaomi scooter seems to get a lot of hype, but I think the GOTRAX model is a bit better in certain areas:
Its top speed is 17 MPH.
It's a few pounds lighter.
The deck height is shorter.
It takes only 2-3 hours to charge.
It has an electric thumb-controlled brake and also a manual foot brake on the back tire.
It costs only $250, though I bought mine for $220 from the manufacturer's website.
Its LED screen shows battery level and speed.
It's also foldable.
It also has an LED headlight.
The tires are hard rubber. No flats to worry about!
It comes in three colors. Black, red, and pink.
No visible wires or brake lines.
Made in and ships from the US.
Just thought I'd give a shameless plug for the scooter I got. 🙂
MusicMan11 gotrax scooters seem to be decent, but I've seen numerous reports of their customer service being nonexistent, and there seems to be a serious lack of parts, so repairs aren't really doable.
I think the M365 can do a solid rubber rear tire exchange now
hard rubber tires are deal breakers. way too much bump transfer to your body
its uglier than your mother tho ... m365 all the way ... hard tires suck, its a jarring ride
Great review mate! 😀
Great review!
Lmao. This dude drives a leaf and then finishes off his trip with an electric scooter. How cute.
Sounds like you're hitting on the guy !
@@zometthecomet Yeah, no. Nice try, though.
I suppose you drive your f350 to work by yourself and think you are awesome because of it.
I like that, great review and close ups.
Cool scoot, nice review. Illegal to ride on public roads or bike lanes in Holland though I think. Also bigger folded than I expected. I have used a Brompton folded bike in the back of my 22kW Zoe for a few years. It folds smaller than that scoot, has suspension, 6 gears, easy to roll behind you and it can get aftermarket electric drive. Very usable as a regular bike as well. It’s the Rolls Royce of folding bikes, huuuge user base worldwide. I need it a lot less now with my 40kW Leaf.
je mag wel stiekem doen
Zo’n Brompton is wel top, maar die kan je in Amsterdam niet buiten laten staan. Dan is de Mi handiger om mee naar binnen/boven te nemen. This Brompton is great, but you can’t leave it outside in Amsterdam. The Mi comes in handy when you take it inside/upstairs.
Dude this was like exactly what I was looking for thanks bro 😊
Awesome now I have to add this to my shopping list!!
5:18
A freaken LandMine!?!
I'm certain rolling over a crack isnt even close to your description.
Otherwise great review and thank you!!
Music and socks are killing me ;)
Hey. Great video, thanks! What about hill climbing? Does it do a good job up hill?
I have one and, no, it sucks on hill climbing!
Great, categorized review! This is how tech should be reviewed! :)
Great idea for those that can't charge at home, although you'll probably want one with better suspension and more power like the Zoom Stryder.
No idea where this UA-camr was recorded?
But in the video 0:35-0.36, that scene is a stock video clip of San Francisco Chinatown (Stockton Street and Sacramento Streets. Stock video Clips can be purchased and user.
You have a Nissan Leaf.....? Great now I gota find another review
Just bought one, thanks for the great review
a review of an electric skateboard would be nice. There are those new models from boosted boards that you might enjoy and a variety of cheaper options.
Great review! Thanks for that. I always wondered if they are any good. Should've bought that instead of the skateboard that broke my wrist :(
I also went with the hype train of electric skateboards and didn't feel safe on it, sold the board and ordered the M365 and couldn't be happier. It's very satisfying to ride and offers quite a bit more balance compared to esk8 boards.
the model x body kit you have on your leaf looks really good :-) jk thanks 4 the good review!
How can anyone NOT like this video. (Sadly, there will always be haters. ;-)
Well done, has me seriously considering one... or perhaps more likely an electric bike, perhaps another topic for you to do a review of the very latest options.
We have folding Dahon bikes, had them for many years, great, but at my age I need something similar in electric.
There are LOTS of variables when it comes to electric bikes.... (and none, to my limited knowledge, have regen which is a shame.)
Some ebikes have regen braking, like this one for example: www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radcity-electric-commuter-bike?variant=5032659419167
Xiaomi has an electric bike.
Hi, keep up the good work. I have a question for you. Can I take this scooter on an airplane for international travel? If yes how? In a cabin like the baby tram or in the check in?
Thanks in advance.
No, battery is too big. You could theoretically ship it
Awesome!! I actually ordered one last week (Still out of stock!!! :( ) but I am glad to see you enjoyed it as much as I am hoping too, I am taking a FL roadtrip and staying at state parks near the beach, I am going to use this as my travel from the campsite to the beach... That is if it ships in the next week or so. Did you get the 3d printed shims for yours? I read a bunch of reviews and decided to order them from Ebay and also I got the green slime stuff to fill up my tires with after seeing other people using that. Keep up the great content!
Great review. You covered all questions I would have
Sheeya oh me... Bros, I just did a review on the none of es1... You should totally get your hands on one for a review too! Can't software lock it tho.
I like the review but are the tires still inflatable on these or have they changed to hard tires yet? If inflatable I wouldn't look at buying one, it'll break your heart and slime won't be good enough to stop the pain.
still inflatable, they kept them cuz its more comfy to drive with them
3:01 STAND STAND STAND
Yeah,i already knew having owned my M365 for over a year now. Your review was unbiased and fair so well done to you. My biggest bug bear so far with ownership is the punctures iv'e had to deal with, Buyers beware !, also if you are considering using a hard Tyre on the scooter , my advice is Do Not by any means do that, i fitted a hard Tyre, the compound is less grippy and this increases battery wear, also the wheel slips on tarmac. Overall i rate it a 7 out of 10 ,i'm very pleased with it but you will get your hands dirty fixing punctures every now and then.
Great review, but I'm curious about one thing - what are you doing at Stony Brook middle school?
1 handed control is easy. I learned it on my first ride already
Good video. I wasn't bored for a minute.
I used to owe one. It's pretty nice! The sound of the motor on this scooter is really futuristic
who did you owe it to
MisterPikol haha. That’s a good one.
Okay, your first mistake was buying a Nissan Leaf
Ikr
How does it handle going up hill and speed
deck height is not a bad thing in the city allows you to climb get through obstacles without stuck on them and eventually lose your balance..
Good review. I would like to see you do a series on "The Last Mile" mobility for Tesla Owners. We all know what it feels like to need a half hour charge at a SC--but the best fast food is a half mile away and you don't want to take any more time on your trip than necessary. Please review a group these king of foldable scooters/mobility devices that you can take on a road trip that bring the area restrooms/ eating places closer. Save time and do not take up to much space. The Razor line has bigger wheels. Really like to see more objective reviews.
In all fairness, a light can be a twilight or even day time safety feature but not usable at night
Omd amazing the light even works at night 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Gonna save up and get one. Thanks for the review
Hi man nice review. Just want to ask what app do you use for the scooter?
The Ninebot app. The xiaomi scooter app was replaced with the Ninebot app.
Hi, how tall are you? Just trying to work out if I'll be too tall for the scooter?
This was a very well done video
Great video, good information. If the scooter goes dead while out, are you able to switch to a nuetral setting and kick push it? Thanks
This is the problem with many of these types of products when it comes to bumps and potholes and in the real world just as with my URB-E smooth surfaces such as sidewalks and smooth roads are where these types of devices work the best. I will tell you one thing using these types of devices is a great way to get around and great for getting to your destination faster than walking.
Ron Consumer with that price, don't expect more. I had this for 7 months but plan to upgrade to something with suspension.
walking is healthier tho.
True but generally the average person walks at a pace of about 3.1 miles per hour or about 5 km/h. The purpose of these devices is designed for the last several miles from a train station, trolley, or bus. If given the chance to ride something that can move them at a 10 to 12 mph rather than running and get all sweaty. Plus it allows one to maybe get to work a little early and relax a bit from the trip rather than having to hit the books right away.
Nice review. One thing which I was wondering about is the noise level? And I guess it could be driven indoor? Or ?
Definitely, it's practically silent.
The latest fashion trend in Paris, France is: Don't pull your socks all the way up when wearing shorts! Ankle socks are accepted too ;) Love your reviews anyway!
gguys1 He can do whatever he wants to do with his socks.
I was planning to get one, until I read the maximum supported load of 100kg (220lbs) which is a little bit lower than my current weight. This is my new weight loss motivation. Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter, you'll be mine next year!
Even if you're heavier you'll be fine. It'll impact your range, but aside from that, you should be fine.
Hi Jesse,
Which app did you download to interface with the scooter? I tried downloading the Mi Home app, but I don't get information on my scooter after connecting and cannot access the settings. Maybe I downloaded a different app.
Oscar Villaseñor mi home
hi what is the maximum weight it can bear
please let me know I want to buy soon?
they say 100kg
Great review. You got me interested in scooters. I probably will get a bike but wait a year or so as competition picks up. I saw electric bikes in Barcelona 4 years ago and they had shops set up. ONly in overnight but I am going back for 10 days this fall. I need to test them out. Great video. Did you have a long invisible selfie stick behind. Pretty smooth video of you riding. Thanks
Camera + Gimbal + Mini- Segway
What’s the lightest, most portable personal transportation device? I just need something I can easily carry with me for errands or getting to the subway. No car.
Isn't it bad form to leave your Leaf at a charging station for the duration of a concert? Or does it charge that slowly?
My first one, but now i have the segway ninebot 2.
Because I needed more distance and have placed the extra battery.
I must say the xiaomi is a nice ride, never had problems except for a view flat tyres( that is in the past now.).
Good review.
Having a hard time choosing the Segway ES2 or the Xiaomi. What do you recommend?
@@DamienOnTheGo the Es2 segway. the xiaomi is a good one to, but here we have bad bad roads and have had so many flat tyres.
now I have about 700km on the segway and no problems at all, can drive about 38 km with the extra battery with lights always on.
Speed on 25 km tops fast enough for me, for now we can drive here every where no insurance needed but to be saver where a helmet.
Good luck with what ever you choose to buy, they are both fun.
What app are you using? Because mine is in a lot less detail
Good review I agree with most of what you said. I own one of these and they are a lot of fun. You are right about the high deck height being a bit uncomfortable. My battery ran completely out one day about 1.5 miles from my home and I had to kick the entire way back. With the deck being so high off the ground it puts a lot of stress on your stationary legs knee which afterwards I felt for weeks.
I read in the help section (haven't tried it yet) but if you lock the scooter and have forgotten the password it can be cleared by powering down the unit while holding both the throttle and brake levers at the same time in their downwards position. Then power back on and it's been cleared. If this is the case then it's quite disappointing that it's that easily bypassed.
Yeah, it's definitely just a tamper lock. I got a chain lock to keep it more safe
Really like the review.
"Zero emissions". You haven't seen what I had for lunch.
extra boost
3:26 you could also be more coordinated in general, making it much easier to carry around
“It even works at night”
Wow who fucking knew
You deserve royalties cause you sold me on this product.
Good review. Does it need a driving license?
A very important question 💡
Please answer it I am waiting 👌
When the battery runs out, is it possible to use leg to push it like non electric scooters?
Or the engine gets locked?
⁉⁉⁉⁉
✔
Yes you could roll it as the wheels do not become locked once the battery runs out, however since it is quite heavy without the assitance of the motor (and the platform is higher than a non electric one thus making the kicking rather awkward) you would end up pushing it walking alongside of it. If in doubt that you could run out of battery, then carry your charger in a small backpack; the charger is not that heavy anyway.
So the real question, is what do you prefer, this scooter or the Ninebot Mini Pro?
Which app I can use with Xiaomi M365
If the scooter has 0% battery, can I use it like a normal scooter? (with foot)
What do you think?
On the new scooters they have to make the tire replacement easier it took me so much time and effort :( thanks for the video though I’m talking about the general design
Is it height adjustable? What’s the performance for uphill? Is there a way to lock it up like bike?
If someone was chasing me on feet would this be faster and what about a if they where in a push bike?
Dead cool review. Top man!
cool review made me think of buying one
Amazing socks bro ❤️
Just got this scooter. What app do you use? Thanks!
Have you ever punctured the wheels? Why do not you make a video of how the wheel is changed after a puncture? or without puncture teaches how the wheel should be replaced by a solid or vice versa. Thanks for the video.
Couldn't find the leak but did have a flat. It was a massive pain to replace. Would recommend taking it to a bike shop. I would be tempted to replace with a solid tire, but would absolutely hate putting it on
Can you use it if you somehow ran out of battery? And you need to used it manually?
Great review mate. I bought mine for £539 (GB) in the UK from eScootersUK. Very hard to get one in the UK otherwise, unless you want to wait weeks and take the risk on a HK purchase and run the risk with customs. I also bought some light mods from 'Curious Joe', which are easy to find on the web and reduce the shocks of everyday riding. I use my Xiaomi for my dailyh commute and take it on the train, it is brilliant and allows me not to use the car. The range is great if its all flat, but I have some pretty big hills to get up and that can really drain the battery.
The only thing I DON'T like is the app. I have never been able to get it to work. At all. I'm fairly well versed in tech, but despite that no matter what I try, I just can't get it to work.
DC. Did you download the correct app?theres two xiaomi apps,ones for house appliances and the other includes the scooter
It’s the one with the mi emblem,not the pic of the house
how much does this scooter actually cost?
on some websites like
new egg it goes for over 1000 dollara and in other websites u can get it for 300 to 700 dollars
and i cant find it on amazon anywhere
Ever look into those who just live downtown and have distance to walk but biking is bit far.. Just saying this device needs no helmet licence plate and can travel inside stores malls and yes bike paths in Canada.
eWheels EW-36 Mobility Scooter which is cool and uses lithium ion batteries from the AGM batteries. Reduces weight and increases range.
Saw a guy in Edmonton AB scooting around at dealership where he worked. He was happy as in 1st gear he gets the best range and speed is reasonable.. last him 3 to 4 days before recharging and goes to work and back and grocery shopping.
Very cool, you guys are the best UA-cam ever😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I'm really considering one of these as I'm about to move from my inner city apartment (that's a 5 minute walk from work) to a place that's about 45 minutes away (by foot). This seems like it could be a great way to get to work or into the city at night as I don't currently have a car. My biggest concern is how it will handle less favourable weather conditions. Not only rain, but I live in an incredibly windy city. How do you think this device would manage in those sorts of conditions?
Did you ever end up buying?
