This is a perfect scooter to ride around town however please be aware it comes with a European 2 pin charger what
This is the highest quality electric scooter I’ve ever experienced. I purchased the M365 scooter about two weeks ago, I’ve put over 150 miles on the scooter in London streets. Scooter is fast, powerful, smooth and reliable.
I’ve ridden the scooter well over the 18-mile range several times, I’m very happy with my purchase, I highly recommend this M365 scooter! Thank you Electric Scooters London!
PS.
I set the kinetic energy recovery setting to a maximum with the free Mi Home App and this allows for maximum energy to be charged back into the batteries every time I release the accelerator to slow down. It’s very powerful and has a built-in anti-lock braking system.
Works fantastic! I was going down a steep long hill as part of my daily scooter ride, I looked at the mi Home app to view the watts that were being charged back into the scooter batteries while coasting down the steep hill, the scooter motor which acts as a generator when coasting and stopping, was charging up to 250 watts back into the batteries at its highest setting.
This certainly helps extend the range. I’ve ridden the scooter as far as 19miles in one day, with over 43% Battery remaining.
I had many downhill roads that put the charge back into the battery. Next, we are looking into installing a few small solar cells (See multi-junction monocrystalline) at home to charge the scooter and this way we can be smog neutral in our power production :) Have a wonderful day!
