Seems like the lowest price for this E scooter.

Very good reviews as well

Thanks @fantoo for confirming code is generic

            @Timm: The trial is kinda dumb though because it involves people leaving the scooters on their sides in the middle of the footpath everywhere.

                @DonIsGood: Unfortunately some scooter owners are not bright. When I rode in Melbourne CBD (I lived in CBD for awhile), I did so only when the footpath is not busy, and I slow down around people, or temporarily hop off and walk until the path is clear. Never had a problem.

                  @cerealJay: Seems to be a big problem. They passed quite lenient laws in Singapore making them legal on footpaths with a speed limit and power restrictions, but after a couple of years they have now banned them completely again due to that sort of issues. Possibly also the huge number being used for food delivery services contributing too.

              I knew a guy who was saying the same for a couple of months until he was stopped by police and got $1500+ fine with a lot of demerit points for "riding motorised vehicle on footpath", "riding unregistered vehicle" and "riding motorised vehicle without helmet".
              He switched to eBike.

        I saw them being used widely in some cities in the USA like San Diego (Lime Scooters) and honestly, its like those bikes people were trashing and littering the parks/streets/sidewalk/bike trails etc
        If they are introduced, I hope action is taken to curb this sort of "dumping" as they can become quite bothersome for residents and pedestrians like those rental bikes were.
        For private use I dont see an issue as people wont leave their property out on the street like that.

        It's not legal to ride a scooter on most qld roads. only local roads so small they have no centre line marking or medium strip and speed limit 50km/h and under. For many it would be impossible to commute without breaking the Law if you had to or wished to use roads for fastest journey

    Quick summary which I believe is up to date:

    https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2019/11/e-scooter-laws-australia/

    New South Wales: private property only.
    South Australia: private property only.
    Western Australia: private property only.
    Victoria: e-scooters below 200-watts can be ridden in some public spaces up to 10km/h.
    Tasmania: e-scooters below 200-watts can be ridden in some public spaces up to 10km/h.
    Australian Capital Territory: e-scooters below 200-watts can be ridden in some public spaces up to 10km/h.
    Northern Territory: e-scooters below 200-watts can be ridden in some public spaces up to 10km/h.
    Queensland: e-scooters above 200 watts can be ridden publicly on the street, on footpaths and in bike lanes at over 10km/h.

    (note - I believe the 10km/hr is refers to the capability of the device on level ground, not what you are actually clocked doing. It doesn't matter if you're ongoing going at walking pace - if the device is capable of moving >10km/hr you risk a fine (in Vic).)

    • virtualds on 19/11/2019 - 17:11

      This is straight from ACT gov webpage FAQ.

      Aren’t e-scooters already legal in the ACT?
      Electric scooters are currently not permitted to be used on roads and road related areas in the ACT.
      The penalties for using an e-scooter in the ACT can be significant. Infringement notices can include a penalty of $151 for using an e-scooter, $600 for using an unregistered vehicle and $903 for using an uninsured vehicle.

      • UFO on 19/11/2019 - 17:34
        +1

        Actually, I think unregistered and uninsured in ACT almost $2000 now (they've gone up along with other offences).

        But there's definitely moves afoot to change the eScooter laws here: https://the-riotact.com/road-rules-set-to-change-to-accommod…

        Above scooter is currently illegal here… but depending the changes coming, it might not be in 6 months.

        Well I think it depends on the use case. There's nothing wrong with pulling out a dildo and just throwing it back and forth with a friend like it's a football. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

        Don't attach it to a bat and hit someone with it because that would be assault.

          Pulling out a dildo and saying "want to be friends" in public can be hit or miss. And that's before one even gets to the football part of the newfound relationship.
          Also a caveat…
          Inviting a friend out in public then pulling out a dildo saying "hey lets throw this at one another" may also present its own set of problems… It just depends on your friend.

          However, if in either scenario the "friend" is a willing participant, then I find attaching the dildo to a bat and hitting one another with it is just one of the a great warm-up activities that can be included in the evenings festivities.

          Difficult to make this "use case" hold in court for any scenario I suspect…

          Pardon my segue from the Segway though…

      I am too wondering the same. Gonna jump the gun but not sure which. M365 lighter slimmer perfect for mobility. Max more power and battery. Heart goes to segway but brain is inclined more to m365.

      Drum brake is more reliable and pretty much maintenance free for a scooter. No disc change or get rusty when not used.

      • brendanm on 19/11/2019 - 19:25

      Segway is much better - faster and just feels more stable, better lighting too if riding at dusk/evening
      I use them all in the US on Bird, Jump etc

      They are twins. Segway was acquired by Xiaomi a couple years ago.

    • tanksinatra on 20/11/2019 - 11:51
      +1

      They are very close designs but with different motor positions. Ninebot is supported financially by Xiaomi.
      The Max has a 15% larger battery and a built in charger.

      If you don't mind the weight, I'd probably go for the Max.
      If you're going to be lifting it around I'd go for the M365 Pro as it's about 4-5KG lighter.

  • JCRALLYART on 19/11/2019 - 17:32

    Victoria: e-scooters below 200-watts can be ridden in some public spaces up to 10km/h. My little 5 year old boy electric toy scooter can go 12km/h. Why don't they just simply ban it when most of the electric scooter will do 10km/hr

    • Ashburtonian on 19/11/2019 - 18:09

      Emailed VicRoads about this and they legitimately straight up said laws haven't kept up and pointed me to NTC's consultation paper.

      Also, 242 road deaths in Victoria, up 33%, want to guess how many of them are escooter/ebikes/bicycles caused? It's absurd to be so car blind for the authorities and people against escooter to talk about 'safety' when the numbers don't add up.

      I'm honestly tired of riding my escooter in anxiety. Although I've never had troubles with being stopped, and I've ridden past multiple police cars without any issues, I'm still constantly riding in fear and anxiety.

      • capslock janitor on 20/11/2019 - 08:47

      • lawyerz on 20/11/2019 - 09:53

        I'd like to add that I ride sensible, and I ride the escooter how and where I would ride bikes. If they go about the same speed, they belong in the road, shared paths, and bike paths.

        I've been riding bikes past 5 years and still do so I've got some experience on the roads, how to act sensible, how to pass other people safely etc.
