Another repeat of a popular deal, at the same price. For those following legislation, they are only ridable in private areas of certain states, but I've already seen parents and their kids riding this in Sydney metro. Must be Ozbargainers in the wild…

    Are these legal to ride on the road in QLD, couldn't find any info….

    • scrimshaw on 28/05/2019 - 12:12

      According to Brisbane Times and ABC you can ride on footpaths, but "cannot be ridden Brisbane CBD roads and riders should avoid interacting with traffic."

      Official information is on government website. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-device…

      • grads5 on 28/05/2019 - 12:13

        I live in Bundaberg. Would be riding it on the road

        • peterw35 on 28/05/2019 - 12:24

          excerpt from https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-device…

          Rules for wheeled recreational devices
          You're not legally required to wear a helmet when using human-powered wheeled recreational devices. However, a helmet is required if the foot scooter has an electric motor. To reduce injuries you should wear protective clothing such as an approved helmet, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards.

          Most devices don't need to be registered to operate on Queensland's road network.

          If you're travelling on a wheeled recreational device or wheeled toy you must not:

          travel on a road with a centre line or median strip, or a 1-way road with more than 1 marked lane
          travel on a road with a speed limit greater than 50km/h
          travel on a road at night—but you may cross a road while riding your wheeled recreational device by the shortest route. If you need to ride at night, you can ride your wheeled recreational device on a footpath
          travel alongside more than 1 other person or vehicle travelling on a road in the same direction, unless you are overtaking
          cause a traffic hazard by moving into the path of a driver, or unreasonably obstruct the path of any other road user.
          If you're travelling on a wheeled recreational device or wheeled toy you must:

          keep to the far left-hand side of the road, and to the left of a footpath (including a shared path)
          give way to foot pedestrians on a footpath (including a shared path)
          give way to bicycles on a bicycle path.

          The QLD state rule will be overridden by local government rules. So make sure Bundaberg doesn't have its own rule against electric scooters.

    • squinly on 29/05/2019 - 16:10

      I think your sarcasm was lost on people trying to actually find you the info!

  • kekw on 28/05/2019 - 12:21

    For NT

    Motorised scooters with a power output greater than 200 watts are defined as motor vehicles in the
    NT Motor Vehicles Act. As motor vehicles, motorised scooters used on roads, or in public places,
    need to be registered and ridden by licensed riders. However, motorised scooters are not
    designed or manufactured to comply with registration requirements and national safety standards
    for road vehicles, such as Australian Design Rules (ADRs). Therefore, they cannot be granted
    registration for on-road use and may not be ridden on public roads or places open to
    the public (including footpaths, bike paths, carparks, etc.

    WUT?

    How about legality in Vic? I cant see how is it different to mopeds

    • Chewiebacca on 28/05/2019 - 12:39

      They are technically illegal, although I have a few colleagues who have been using these for their work commute in the Melbourne CBD and they haven't had any trouble.

      Just this morning I saw a guy riding up Bourke St on one of these, in the bike lane with a helmet on. It seems as long as you're not being an idiot, and tearing down a busy footpath, the cops aren't too bothered.

  • Punkboy on 28/05/2019 - 13:18

    I can't find any information to suggest the bluetooth exploit for these has been solved yet. Possibly a rare occurrence, but consumers should be aware of the potential problem. As of Feb 2019 it was reported these were able to be remotely controlled due to weak bluetooth security.

  • Heybargain on 28/05/2019 - 13:57

    Saw someone in central station (nsw) with one of these, heading towards the eddy ave exit. Had a helmet on so I assume riding with caution.

    These are pretty cool and bought one myself recently but there will always be idiots.

    I was out for lunch with the wife on the weekend and this family of twats were riding these things around in the local shopping centre courtyards where restaurants have tables and people eat. I got bloody annoyed with the stupid kids screaming down the courtyard right behind where my wife was sitting so told then to bugger off. Stupid dad was riding a motorised unicycle and his two children were on electric scooters.

    Why the heck would you bring these to a shopping centre rather than going to a park!

      "Why the heck would you bring these to a shopping centre rather than going to a park!"

      Because they think they're very cool and want you to notice them

    Waiting for these to drop down to $400, since new model is out, we should expect these to drop more in the upcoming days.

      Both Xiaomi M365 Pro and the Ninebot Max available now with better specs. M365 is still a decent Scooter though. I have done approx 600k without any major issues.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2019 - 15:23

        9bot Max, Isn't that thing $1000 delivered though?

        • Trioboy on 28/05/2019 - 15:36

          It is a bit Pricey. Comes with a bigger battery and better range though. And, its rear wheel drive. The scooter itself suppose to be weighing 20Kg. So not as portable?.

          • keejoonc on 29/05/2019 - 10:13

            @Trioboy: Extra range is nice but I personally think it's too heavy.
            Even M365 Pro is getting on the heavy side but I think it's a good balance between weight and range.

    Illegal to ride this in NSW unless on private land.

    Powered foot scooters and skateboards cannot be registered and can only be used on private land

    Will the seller provide an Australian Tax Invoice?

    Asking for TRS purposes…ha

    • Trioboy on 28/05/2019 - 15:01

      I don't think you are allowed to carry this on the plane because of the battery back. unless you are planning to sail out of the country.

      • whyisave on 28/05/2019 - 19:24

        i was joking :-)

        it's sarcasm,…a joke, like when people say "asking for a friend".

        however, the question still remains: is there a tax invoice ?

  • Farrba on 28/05/2019 - 15:10

    i think even in qld you have to be 16 yo and above to use these in footpaths.

      Yeah, I don't think these work too well below the footpaths ;)

  • teeshiu on 28/05/2019 - 15:59

    How are these working in Sydney since there are so many bumpy roads? I looked into these and apparently they have no suspension?

    • dji1111111 on 28/05/2019 - 16:03

      you have to take it easy over bumps and potholes otherwise you run the risk of getting a puncture. As soon as you realise how difficult it is to replace the tube, you will be kicking yourself.
      They ride relatively comfortably over minor bumps since they ride on pneumatic tyres.

    • tanksinatra on 29/05/2019 - 09:27

      Best way to manage bumpy roads is to increase the tyre size. The M365 will happily take 10" tyres. Gives you a lot more cushioning.

  • ndftz on 29/05/2019 - 09:23
    +6

    Aww yeah, these are so fun and mod-friendly.
    just upgraded mine to have the pro dash and more torque (and slimed the tubes)

    paid ~$535 on a gearbite ebay deal a few months ago, still going strong.

    Of course you look like a tool with these, but you're a tool making great time - so damn the haters :P

    also to those considering other scooters, this is probably the best weight / performance you can get.
    can carry it around coles when doing a quick shop instead of leaving it to be pinched or messed with

    • Trioboy on 29/05/2019 - 13:23

      Is it fairly easy to install the Pro dash?

      • ndftz on 29/05/2019 - 14:23
        +3

        super super easy no soldering or even glue (comes with adhesive sticker for new dash ) etc.

        1. ply the old lid (easily pops off)
        2. unscrew then unplug old dash
        3. plug in and screw in new dash.
        4. pop new lid on
        5. update your chosen firmware with the downG app

        Plenty of info up on youtube

        Since the whole brain is in the dash, it now goes 32km also.

            @squinly: Around 15 bucks
            eBay has heaps of them just search

            • Punkboy on 24/06/2019 - 22:23

              @ndftz: Can't find anything much less than 30 bucks. Care to share any links?

              • ndftz on 24/06/2019 - 23:02

                @Punkboy: Sorry looks like the one I got from ebay is no longer available.

                would be well worth the 30 bucks FWIW ( i'm guessing free shipping right ? )

        • happykamper on 01/06/2019 - 19:38

          Awesome, thanks for the info!

    M365 SCOOTER HAS BEEN RECALLED!!!

    Everyone! I posted the other day saying my handlebars had literally fallen off while riding, causing me to have a fractured rib. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/466385#comment-7438613

    Well I contacted Xiaomi, and they said to check if my model had a certain serial number because they have been VERY RECENTLY recalled due to this exact issue!

    https://www.mi.com/global/support/mi-electric-scooter-recall…

    I repeat… SOME M365 SCOOTERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY XIAOMI!!!

    The affected serial numbers (S/N) range from: 21074/00000316 - 21074/00015107 and 16133/00541209 - 16133/00544518.

    I don't really know how best to get this message out but I'm going to post on every M365 scooter bargain on the site. If anyone has any better ideas let me know!
