Chris here back with a Xiaomi Mi M365 scooter I've been using this most
days I use this. I just park up close to town and ride into the office of studio
here with this thing and it's been going really well I've got now about 85
kilometers I think it is on the clock so far with mileage so not a lot so I just
wanted to cover a few things my you could say top five tips as an owner of
what I think you should do to get the most out of the
Mi scooter here so let's take a look so my first recommendation for a new me
scooter owner is to get the app of course this is the ninebot app that you
can find on google play store go along in here and find the vehicle settings
which is just under the setting menu go to accelerator mode now it's actually
the de-acceleration now thanks to a couple of comments in my
review people pointed out that there is in fact a problem that I wasn't aware of
affecting some older models that if you had a hundred percent battery and you
did some braking and was generating power it would cause a current overload
area and would blow a fuse or the controller box now how to help avoid
this set this two-week now I think by default it is weak I also found that
strong was braking far too strong I would never use it anyway but I did for
some time have it set on medium but now I'm using weak because I don't want any
problems a last thing I want is to not charge because of this issue now my
second tip here involves the tires they're quite susceptible because
they're filled while they offer some comfort because they absorb those little
bumps and things they are prone to getting punctures of course just like
any bike tire and I found out on the second day of owning this I've got a
thorn right about here that went through that thinner part of the rubber and gave
me a pretty much an instant flat tire I was really annoyed and I checked out on
Google and YouTube here that changing these tires is quite a mission you've
got to pull this reflective stick off the side you've got to unbolt this it's
not so easy to do so all I did is put this product in here called Slime
now this fixed the puncture I had I put about a quarter of this little small
ball in each tire that much fix the puncher but not only that it should
prevent further flats because I've used this product a lot in my mountain bike a
mountain bike a lot and I really swear by it because I feel that with this
stuff of my tires that it's just avoided so many pinch flats and punctures and
problems like that because the last thing we want to do is be 12 kilometers
away get a flat on this and then you have to push it for 12 kilometers which
is not fun and my third tip is also based on the tires as well but this time
tire pressure so what I've found out is of course a very high high pressure will
give you better speed acceleration because you has have less rolling
resistance but I noticed that it makes the ride a little too uncomfortable
because they those tires there will absorb some of those little cracks and
here in Spain some of the roads are really quite rough so going over real
rough bits bouncing around everywhere I've noticed that the initial high
pressures that I put on our made them really quite hard about three bar of
pressure in there was too much so lower that down I'd say to about 2.5 and it's
personal preference as well just find a level where you can get some comfort
that it's going to absorb some of those bumps and things that you often get a
course on the road and the fourth tip is just a little bit of maintenance here
just to make sure after about a week of use go along and check all these bolts
and everything just nip things up make sure they're all nice and tight we've
got a couple around here on the handlebars when you fold that up just
the check and make sure they're all nice and tight right here because they tend
to loosen off that's the same goes for a brand new road bike or mountain bike
that things are going to vibrate loosen off a little bit so just maintenance
routine maintenance check that things are tight on there otherwise later on
you could run into problems and that should help avoid them and my first and
final tip here is to conserve your battery if you're going somewhere that
you know is about 18 or 16 kilometres away and you're bringing the charger
with you but you want to make sure you actually
kind of arrive there then make sure you check the app have a look at your
remaining battery percent even though these of course lights up here give you
a quick idea of how much you've got go to bars there you've got about 150
percent at the moment you can see I've got a hundred and use that eco mode
where you can on the flat so double tap green light comes on eco mode will save
a lot of battery especially when it comes to acceleration because the
acceleration is going to be a lot slower it conserves battery life a little bit
better and I've been able to get close to 20 kilometers on the flat using the
Eco mode and in the normal mode I would only probably get around 13 to
14 maximum on the flat so there's a huge difference there so there we go overall
really good scooter I think the most important thing there is to focus on the
wheels that you don't get any punctures that's why I highly recommend to put
slime in there or another similar additive that you can put inside the
inner tubes to make sure that if you do get something that punches them that
would seal them up so you don't get a flat you're going to get stranded
anywhere because when I got my flat you could not use it and if you did decide
to ride on it you would end up damaging the inner tube even further and have to
replace it and getting these wheels off as I've seen on other videos online it's
going to be a real hassle the second most important would be to make sure you
just put that regenerative charging on light as you don't want to run into
problems which other owners have which I discovered later on after I first
reviewed my one there so best of luck with your scooting there on the me
scooter thanks a lot for watching this video
