After 6 months of using it, having 1200+ km on it, the range is only about 19km at nice weather, no rain barely any wind. Planning on getting an Ebike after this
I got the pure air pro today for £540 after using the Xiaomi m365 😍 both amazing scooters but the pure air is such a smoother and different riding experience 🔥
I don't remember saying it's a massive upgrade ? But having both scooters for over 6 months now the pure air feels like a massive upgrade from.the Xiaomi. Now when I ride the Xiaomi it feels cheap and clunky. Still a decent scooter but if I was to choose out of the two it would be the air pro any day ...
i brought my xiami and ive landed on my head driving off a pavement but its the best thing ive bought ever after my laptop, i need a bit more range tho i might go for this thing.
I'm 51 and have fallen down the scooter "Rabbit Hole". I've the entry level M365 and absolutely love it. And of course the plethora of "Mods" you can do to it to tailor it to your own taste. Love the content from Ben and other You tubers. All in all I'm sold on this form of transport here in Londinium. Just wish the Government would pull its finger out and get them legal here in the UK!!
@Marcus Grant if u don’t mind me asking how much do you weigh? also how long would you say the battery lasts and what’s the top speed you get to. Thanks
@Marcus Grant The speed and the range are less than being advertised not because of your weight, but because of exaggeration by manufacturers. It's common practice to cheat consumers in China by bloating the functions of products. Even taxi drivers are tend to "route" non-local passengers in town. For people of normal size, a 30~50% off the range claimed is very typical among e-scooters made in China. I paid for an expensive electric folding bicycle made in China with claimed range of 150 kilometers(94 miles) and got less than 100 kms. Heed with taking 40% off the range claimed by manufacturers in China, you might get stranded in the rural areas in late night otherwise. Lastly, one thing very important is never leave them unattended while charging. Especially the cheaper ones usually would come with cheap adaptor of inferior quality without proper microchips and circuit designs inside to regulate the power flow thus causing over-charging and torch the house. A safer way would be using a timer to cut off the charging at preset minimum duration suggested by manufacturers, then charge them fully again while attended.
I have been enjoying my original m365 model for way over a year now and I couldn't be happier riding it here in the Philippines. Planning to make a review video of it for my channel soon to add to my other scooter reviews!
True @Drive4fun! Beats the rest of the competition hehe! Soon Xiaomi will launch the successors to the M365 & M365 Pro called the Mi e-scooter 1S and the Mi e-scooter Pro 2 hehe! www.mi.com/global/mi-electric-scooter-Pro2/
@@gtone339 Hold on the one of the reasons the M365 and the pro are so popular is due to replacement parts, like ford cars if you can buy parts cheap even though the vehicles aren't the best or the most reliable so long as you can get the parts and there are a lot of tutorials out there telling you how to fix them then it will be a very popular vehicle. All those other scooters may be faster, may be more reliable but when it comes to replacing parts it's a real problem so of course they will not be as popular because when they break down you want it back up and running as fast as possible. M 365 and pro meet these specs others don't. Note these scooters have jumped by around a 100 pounds in the UK since the virus issue, which is odd you would think they sell more the price would come down or at least stay the same but instead they have gone up in price.
@@flitsies True, there are great cheap alternative replacement parts for the M365/M365 Pro but as a common user I don't usually modify the e-scooter but as for performance I do it unlock the speed limiter of 25km/hr to 35km/hr which I was very interested on thanks to the e-scooter community. The only thing I am greatly concerned about the Mi e-scooters is the tyres+inner tubes because we all hate tyre punctures and its such a pain in the arse to remove em out lol. Here's hoping the Mi e-scooter Pro 2's 3x durable tyres resolved the punctures hehe! About the UK government legalizing rental e-scooters is a small victory for the e-scooter community in the UK, but its not a win for the privately owned e-scooter users. Sucks that they had to raise the prices of the e-scooters there during these abnormal times.
@@gtone339 Yes the 365 and pro are highly customisable, one youtube guy turned his one into a super fast 365 which goes around 45 mph I believe or near that I think he demonstrated, with a different motor and controller and battery pack, in fact the only thing m365 was the frame not much else. As for the puncture issue just check your tyres for sharp stones and bits of glass regularly and also put in some slime should do the trick. But what would be good is tubeless tires, certainly would make it easier to fix a puncture.
I have purchased this scooter in the grey it's my first ever scooter and for me ticks all the boxes... The weather resistant mechanics were what sold it for me
@@LucasToys1 yeah they wouldn't confirm to me if when the app is available it will be compatible with previously purchased scooters or will they be releasing an app ready version
I love my pure air pro for my 1st scooter.Great for driving in autumn weather and keeping wet weather out.The weight of it is heavy but it’s a solid build
@@zakk7676 Thanks for your question. It lasts about 40 mins in high setting.It also comes with a Med/Eco setting for lasting even longer.I just carry my charger in small bag if I’m planning a long trip.👍😷
@@mikerb118 mabe if my journey was in eco mode and my route was mostly downhill you’ll get what they say in mileage.I’ve never took it a long run yet but I like to use up the full battery before recharging as charging it and the battery is already 80% still to be used is bad and just will cut the life life short of the scooter.But I don’t want to suffer from charging anxiety like having an electric car .I like to think I’ve saving a small piece of the planet using my scooter instead of my car for short journeys.👍🏻
This guy is actually both funny and informative, good content. I’ve only come across as I want to buy the pure air pro for my last couple miles commute
I owned M365 and now I have M365 Pro - For 3 years now both didn't have any issues with rain - I ride to work even if I can bearly see-thru rain ...seal maybe not certified but definitely passed my rain long term test- (Average ride 20-30min ) Also if you ride in London change tires for Lixada solid tires - easy to change. - and don't forget to buy a support bracket for your back fender. That's my tips for all of you riding M365. Peace!
Is the M365 really that ok in the rain?? I’m sooooo torn between the M365 Pro and Pure air pro, I prefer everything about the M365 except for IP rating, which sways me to the Pure Air Pro, I don’t want to be limited to riding just in the dry, I want to be able to go out in all weathers if needed, have you done anything to waterproof your M365?
Seems like a great bit of kit for the mid range market, definitely seems more targeted towards shorter commutes and not pleasure rides 🛴🦊 as always fantastic unbiased content Ben 💪💪
Hi Ben hope you are well I am looking for my 1st electric scooter and have a budget offf £500 pounds do you think the pure pro would make a good 1st scooter I will only use it to pop in to town and school runs and it will go on all different road types rough and bumpy smooth keep up your good reviews I enjoy watching them keep well many thanks
I had both this scooter but now I have the Xiaomi mi pro 2 and I prefer the mi pro 2, so much lighter and feels more powerful and nimble, I use mine in rain and even wash it with a hose twice a week and have no problems, it clearly states on the the website that it's water resistant with a rating of IP54 meaning it's splash proof! That's probably why when I go though big puddles nothing happens! 🤷🏻♂️ Also if you use it for *commuting" the mi pro 2 is better again! It's light, I often have to carry it up stairs a lot, on and off trains too, the Air Pro would make me break a sweat every time! 🥵 I just really prefer the mi pro 2 because it feels way more powerful acceleration wise, the wheels on my mi pro 2 never get punctures either, on my air pro pro I got 2 punctures 2 days I'm a bloody row!! The Xiaomi also even said the mi pro 2 has tougher tires so we get less punctures 🙂 I applied slime to my wheels by the way, half a bottle in front and half in back maybe that's why I don't get punctures 😂😂
Hmm... Would have thought the Ninebot Segway Max was the Pure Air Pro's closest rival (the new MAX G30 LP even more so). Though it's not warranty covered (Pure Electric I'm looking at you), it still has the IPX5 (external) & IPX7 (internal) waterproof rating on the scooter. It'd be good to see a head-2-head between these two 👍
Hi Ben happy new year got my pure pro yesterday and have just got it ready to take out for the 1st ride today do you know where I can find the tyre pressure and should they be checked before I take it out got it at a great price of £525 in black looking forward to my trips in to town and around the park keep up the great videos stay safe all the best Paul
Actually they are from the same design and platform with differences in motors and battery cells to differentiate the price gaps intended by few manufacturers.
Hi Ben great video I have done 350 miles on the Xiaomi pro now still loving it but ever since I hit 280 miles the handle bar stem has been creaking ever since unfortunately keep up the Awsome videos 😎👍🏻
nice vid - you didn't mentioned increased ride weight capacity at 120kg? Given the choice of the xiaomi pro or the pure pro - which one would you go for?
It is great to see you again Ben! I would save up a little bit more and just get the E-Twow GT for commuting. I finally was able to get my wife to consistently use one of my E-Twow Booster scooters to get around town on and she is enjoying it now. It is great to see the old scooters get some use again. I really haven't touched them for years. If I don't need the ultra-portability I always take out my Dualtron Compact and blast around San Francisco near the 40MPH top speed when possible. I have also begun to go the Afeez route and started learning to use an EUC. Once I get a little better on the EUC I plan on using that to get around San Francisco as well.
Great video, silly yet informative. Pure have just released their Pure Air Go and a Kamoa edition for £349 and £299 respectively, would love to see your thoughts on these. Keep up the content
Very entertaining - been toying to add one to my ebike conversions e.g. Swytch and Bafang on my 2 Brommies and now the Pure Air Pro 2 is out i think it is time👍🏻
I've just bought pure air pro,I have xiaomi m365 aswell,I went for pure air pro bcos of the great British weather,cudnt use my xiaomi when I needed to due to rain now that problem aint a problem
The main advantage of this scooter that I can see is the resistance to water. The better is housed at the top as opposed to the xiaomi which it is from the bottom which I believe is more susceptible to water splashes from the road.
Hi small question please: which do you prefer between the etow (solid tyres with suspension) and the pure air pro (10" pneumatic w/o suspension) ?. Thank you kindly. P.s. love your videos
Recently bought the Xiaomi M365 Pro and am really happy, unfortunately my girlfriend has taken over the scooter and is considering buying an M365 Pro 2 when it releases in a few weeks!
@@fleebleflam Very soon! The Xiaomi Mi e-scooter Pro 2 addressed so many M365 Pro issues such as: + Proper mud flap support + mud flap extension, + Wiring refinements (inside & outside) + More reflectors (front-side-back) + Larger & brighter rear tail lights (now reflector) + 2w brighter headlights (slightly angled) + 8.5" inch new Pneumatic tyres that are 3x more durable than previous-gen + Improved KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) + Dash board improvements (LCD screen) + New 5km/hr Pedestrian mode (replaces old Eco mode) + Dual brake levers (for Euro/German markets) Plus, they are also releasing the successor to the M365 called the 1S and a cheaper version called the Essential (Lite). link below: Xiaomi e-scooter Pro 2 - www.mi.com/global/mi-electric-scooter-Pro2/ Xiaomi e-scooter 1S - www.mi.com/global/mi-electric-scooter-1S/ Xiaomi e-scooter Essential (Lite) - www.mi.com/global/mi-electric-scooter-essential/
What's the craic with insurance for escooters in the UK now? I understand that you need at least a provisional license. But doesn't seem clear if insurance is either necessary or available.
Seems like a nice upgrade over the original model, but I'm not sure if those incremental improvements are worth the extra cost and weight. I have a solid tire with a cutout design in my original m365 model and couldn't be happier after my initial purchase over a year ago for $366 here in the Philippines.
I'd buy the parts to try put on a xiaomi tbh. The front wheels rear guard would be great to put 10" tires on a Xiaomi if it's the same dimension to fit.
Ben -as always great review i have a question tho with no app surely thats a big issue tho? they say they are developing one but if you buy one now it might not necessarily be compatible? im torn between this and the Mi Pro 2!!
Hey , loved your video . Do You mind , I have a question 🙋🏻♀️. I recently bought pure air pro but changed to Xiaomi pro 2, because it lasted max 27 km and battery went off very quickly. not sure how is with New Xiaomi pro 2, but I trie to ride and it’s a bit scared me , as is so much quick and I felt not so secure to ride . Stupid not stupid question. What best Between these two as for long distance ride from your experience. Thank you !
Hey Vitalija! Thanks very much! Well its very close between the 2 if you need more range then perhaps Xiaomi Pro 2- you will get used to the extra acceleration very quickly. The Pure air pro is arguably better build quality but if you need range then just get used to the Xiaomi :)
I like this one! Replaceable batteries like what a lot of ebikes have 😀😀😀so you don’t have to throw away or make a difficult mod to the scooter when one of the cells decides to become weak and ruin the whole pack!
Nice video Ben but...not convinced by 1/the price far too expensive based on the techdata and 2/the weight. 17kg..What is the point to have a folding scooter if it weights a ton...? The 2 major "+" being obviously the endurance and the tires. That being said, After my tires problems (I did unsuccessfully tried to repair them myself) last december, I did so far 600 km without a problem.. And before my "problems", 1500km. So still a M365 fan for urban commuting!! My wish for the m365: folding handle bar... Best.
There's a Treat for long time subscribers @8:00 🎁😉 Pure Air Pro 👉🏻tidd.ly/3eOF5Kz 👈🏻 £50 off use code: PURE50 for *Expires 16th August* So! which PRO scooter is more 'PRO?? Let me know... below! 👇🏻 #RhymingKing
I have the m365 for 2 years it served me pretty well. But now I bought an electric bike I’m upgrading a little bit. I think you should start doing reviews on electric bikes from AliExpress. That will be so interesting to watch. ❤️
Great review Ben, I've been waiting for a independent review for weeks before i buy! I'm going to the store to buy that one or the Segway Max on Sunday! How do you think they compare? The waterproof bit is a massive plus for me.
Can you do a full comparisation on the g30 max vs pure air (pro) plz?? Don't know what to choose... how is the handling and comfort of both?? Greetz from Belgium!
I was so upset for a second until I realized they don't sell them in the US I just got my xioami for about a month now all thanks to your channel and I love it no public commuting for me. Thank you for your work ❤️
@@nicholasanastasi5063 totally agree, rentals is also a bad idea, which will just spread this virus even more! And the idiots who are ruining it for people who want to scoot properly, just makes me soo mad, they are going to kill scooters!! IDIOTS!!
Gov has increased the allowable motor to 500w, so if they upped the power then I think it's a good package. Power to weight 17kg is not so good. My Zero 9 is 17kg with suspension and 600w. More expensive though.
I’ve just brought the pure air go..... little disappointed it’s suppose to do 12 miles on full battery well I just did 6 miles in the wind and let’s say I only just made it home
The Max has greater range than the Air Pro, so that's 65km vs 30km but it's just like the Max with 10" inch tyres w/ rear drum brakes. Worse of all the Air pro doesn't have any App support so just stick with the Xiaomi or Ninebot e-scooters instead.

Take it from me, Xiaomi's 2 year warranty is bollocks. My M365 broke down over the lockdown period. I popped it apart, did some diagnostics, worked out it was a battery/BMS issue. Got in touch, they wanted me to send it to some repair outfit in Kent who have a really bad satisfaction rating on Google. They would repair it as long as they could charge me money to repair everything else that was deemed "not warranty" and, going by the reviews, wouldn't send it back to me unless they could charge me for other repairs or they'd send it back to me with no repairs at all. This was confirmed when I spoke to their office: repair everything they deemed necessary and charge me for it or they would repair any of it. Thankfully, I'm handy with a soldering iron. Screw Xiaomi and screw the 3rd party repair centre I'm sure I shouldn't mention.
People from 125kg use the M365 Pro and say they have no problems with it apart from going slower uphill and overheating when going off road but why would you go off road
After 6 months of using it, having 1200+ km on it, the range is only about 19km at nice weather, no rain barely any wind. Planning on getting an Ebike after this

Awesome dude! I also fancy a bit more EUC action myself... I've left mine in London but do fancy a change too!
I love this guy... His personality got me.
Great editing he has
Best e-scooter reviewer hehe!
Hi Ben,Ok I dont need 40 miles per charge but should I buy Pure air Pro or a Ninebot max?Not much of a price difference so cant decide
Great video, silly yet informative. Pure have just released their Pure Air Go and a Kamoa edition for £349 and £299 respectively, would love to see your thoughts on these. Keep up the content
Agreed
Is there any way to unlock the speed limit?
Anyone can give suggestion between pure air, pure air pro and Segway max? Want to buy one soon but can’t make a decision...
Segway max
Thank you Big Ben!
You’re the best.
This information is great you put out!
👐🏼🛴👐🏼
Cheers John! 💪🏻
When you tried an up hill test&said'it,s running out of battery'that just about killed it for me.
Good vid,cheers.
Very entertaining - been toying to add one to my ebike conversions e.g. Swytch and Bafang on my 2 Brommies and now the Pure Air Pro 2 is out i think it is time👍🏻
I've just bought pure air pro,I have xiaomi m365 aswell,I went for pure air pro bcos of the great British weather,cudnt use my xiaomi when I needed to due to rain now that problem aint a problem
The main advantage of this scooter that I can see is the resistance to water. The better is housed at the top as opposed to the xiaomi which it is from the bottom which I believe is more susceptible to water splashes from the road.
Hi small question please: which do you prefer between the etow (solid tyres with suspension) and the pure air pro (10" pneumatic w/o suspension) ?. Thank you kindly. P.s. love your videos
Reminds me of the presenters to kids shows from the 80’s, can’t get enough of the humour!!! 😂 good stuff
Recently bought the Xiaomi M365 Pro and am really happy, unfortunately my girlfriend has taken over the scooter and is considering buying an M365 Pro 2 when it releases in a few weeks!
Haha lucky her!
Pro 2?? When is this releasing?? Not seen anything about this.
Not worth the extra cash, I'd wait until they drop the price of the Pro and get that 👍🏻
@@fleebleflam Very soon! The Xiaomi Mi e-scooter Pro 2 addressed so many M365 Pro issues such as:
+ Proper mud flap support + mud flap extension,
+ Wiring refinements (inside & outside)
+ More reflectors (front-side-back)
+ Larger & brighter rear tail lights (now reflector)
+ 2w brighter headlights (slightly angled)
+ 8.5" inch new Pneumatic tyres that are 3x more durable than previous-gen
+ Improved KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System)
+ Dash board improvements (LCD screen)
+ New 5km/hr Pedestrian mode (replaces old Eco mode)
+ Dual brake levers (for Euro/German markets)
Plus, they are also releasing the successor to the M365 called the 1S and a cheaper version called the Essential (Lite).

@@gtone339 Thank you for this info & links😁👍🛴
A very entertaining and useful review. I’ve just ordered this, my first e-scooter

Same!
Same!
What's the craic with insurance for escooters in the UK now? I understand that you need at least a provisional license. But doesn't seem clear if insurance is either necessary or available.
Seems like a nice upgrade over the original model, but I'm not sure if those incremental improvements are worth the extra cost and weight. I have a solid tire with a cutout design in my original m365 model and couldn't be happier after my initial purchase over a year ago for $366 here in the Philippines.
I'd buy the parts to try put on a xiaomi tbh. The front wheels rear guard would be great to put 10" tires on a Xiaomi if it's the same dimension to fit.
Those large wheels make up for the lack of suspension. Sounds expensive though, not sure what scooters cost in the UK. Are you back in London?
Not yet dude
Ben -as always great review i have a question tho with no app surely thats a big issue tho? they say they are developing one but if you buy one now it might not necessarily be compatible? im torn between this and the Mi Pro 2!!
Hey , loved your video . Do You mind , I have a question 🙋🏻♀️. I recently bought pure air pro but changed to Xiaomi pro 2, because it lasted max 27 km and battery went off very quickly. not sure how is with New Xiaomi pro 2, but I trie to ride and it’s a bit scared me , as is so much quick and I felt not so secure to ride .
Stupid not stupid question. What best Between these two as for long distance ride from your experience. Thank you !
Hey Vitalija! Thanks very much! Well its very close between the 2 if you need more range then perhaps Xiaomi Pro 2- you will get used to the extra acceleration very quickly. The Pure air pro is arguably better build quality but if you need range then just get used to the Xiaomi :)
the question is.. if you brake downhill and the brake is on the front tire.. will will not just fall ??
Price is crazy though, Segway Ninebot ES1 is 319£ in Summer of 2020 with a front suspension and almost a stone lighter 👀
How can you compare the es1 to this
don't buy any es line scooters, they're terrible
@@nitrionixx why? What's wrong with them?
@@Valeria-qb8if go on r/electricscooters on Reddit, and search for an es scooter. You'll see.
Hey Ben great vid as always. Is this scooter available in the states?
Ahh Sorry Ant! Not Yet!
Says in your video 25mph on the M365 pro ? Do you mean 25kph ?
Hey Ben, I'm looking to buy an Inokim light 2. I'd love to know your opinion on it.
Can you do a review on the pure air LR? And compare it to this one.
Can u do a review on the vici explorer electric scooter because I’m not sure can u trust them
I like this one! Replaceable batteries like what a lot of ebikes have 😀😀😀so you don’t have to throw away or make a difficult mod to the scooter when one of the cells decides to become weak and ruin the whole pack!
All e-scooters should have this features regardless of big or large it is!
Nice video Ben but...not convinced by 1/the price far too expensive based on the techdata and 2/the weight. 17kg..What is the point to have a folding scooter if it weights a ton...? The 2 major "+" being obviously the endurance and the tires. That being said, After my tires problems (I did unsuccessfully tried to repair them myself) last december, I did so far 600 km without a problem.. And before my "problems", 1500km. So still a M365 fan for urban commuting!! My wish for the m365: folding handle bar... Best.
Do a review on the kugo m4
Do you know if it is possible to remove the speed limit on this model (pure air pro 1st gen). If yes, how ? Thank you ;)
There's a Treat for long time subscribers @8:00 🎁😉
Pure Air Pro 👉🏻tidd.ly/3eOF5Kz 👈🏻 £50 off use code: PURE50 for *Expires 16th August*
So! which PRO scooter is more 'PRO?? Let me know... below! 👇🏻 #RhymingKing
The question also is... Which GT scooter is more GT?????? 🤔🤣
I am gonna buy a xiaomi m365 from pure but is that website a scam
Its the Xiaomi Mi E-scooter Pro 2 Ben hehe! Looking forward to your review on the Pro successor! 😁🛴
@@west7970 no
Do L9 Inmotion vs ninebot max
Xiaomi M365 Pro costs 389£ in France, how on earth it costs 589£ in the UK?
GST and some tax....
Probably resellers tbh
I so want one of these
2nd generation pure air pro out now! But more range and a 500 watt rear wheel drive motor and built in usb charge port for phone etc 😃
Is there something as good but with with folding handlebars? It's no fun to take on the train otherwise.
I wish the UK would just fully legalise these. So much fun and not to mention really useful
can you compare the decent one max with both pure pro scooters and the Xiaomi pro 2
That is the most important part of the video, CARLY sighting 😍😍😍, good review btw
Carly's opinion comeback?
I'm 192cm and 95 kg. Will it be comfortable to drive this scooter with my height? Could I less my back right?
I have the m365 for 2 years it served me pretty well. But now I bought an electric bike I’m upgrading a little bit. I think you should start doing reviews on electric bikes from AliExpress. That will be so interesting to watch. ❤️
Great review Ben, I've been waiting for a independent review for weeks before i buy! I'm going to the store to buy that one or the Segway Max on Sunday! How do you think they compare? The waterproof bit is a massive plus for me.
I would choose this over the Max (if you don't need the extra range) mainly because its smaller and lighter!
Can you do a full comparisation on the g30 max vs pure air (pro) plz?? Don't know what to choose... how is the handling and comfort of both?? Greetz from Belgium!
I was so upset for a second until I realized they don't sell them in the US I just got my xioami for about a month now all thanks to your channel and I love it no public commuting for me. Thank you for your work ❤️
stefanie gonzalez bless u babe 🇺🇸 ⭐️
Ben! put the kickstand away next time you jump on it to test the suspension!
Good review Ben! Definately a scooter to consider, especially if e scooters are legalised for everyone!
Absolutely man! What model you have?
With all the complaints so far I don't think it will so many idiots are killing it for the sensible ones it's such a pisstake
@@nicholasanastasi5063 totally agree, rentals is also a bad idea, which will just spread this virus even more! And the idiots who are ruining it for people who want to scoot properly, just makes me soo mad, they are going to kill scooters!! IDIOTS!!
2 idiots were arrested this week for riding hired E-scooters don the A19 near Middlesbrough.
@@feel.the.need. This is exactly what i mean! Pure stupidity!!
Gov has increased the allowable motor to 500w, so if they upped the power then I think it's a good package. Power to weight 17kg is not so good. My Zero 9 is 17kg with suspension and 600w. More expensive though.
Great video as always, thanks Ben! Nice scooter, funny they named it Pure Air while it's the most heavy one yet.
Can you please do a review of the Inokim Ox scooter 🙂👍🏻?
Any chance of doing a review on some bigger scooters? like Dualtron Spider / Eagle Pro ?
Maybeee
He did one on the Zero 10X: ruclips.net/video/XQ0IiQrqdm0/видео.html
I’ve just brought the pure air go..... little disappointed it’s suppose to do 12 miles on full battery well I just did 6 miles in the wind and let’s say I only just made it home
Could you do a review of the kugoo Kirin m4 pro please also great vids man
In the future Ben will.
I got my M365 Pro from Pure, It broke after 2 weeks and the 2 year warranty doesn't cover 'consumable' parts like the cables..
How waterresist are the front wheel motor then?
How do these do on steep roads?
i still prefer the m365 pro because it looks better and you can make it so that the max speed is 35km/h
+ you can buy suspension for the front wheel
Wym 35km
It says 25kpm max on website
@@unknowthomertonb6185 you can hack it, look it up
Anyone got a discount code for the Non-Pro version? would help me out a lot
Ben, why are your Scooter Hero stickers US ONLY?
The pure air is a really good scooter,but the only problem is the fact it has no cruise control,which is really good for long journeys
How does it compare to the Segway ninebot max
The Max has greater range than the Air Pro, so that's 65km vs 30km but it's just like the Max with 10" inch tyres w/ rear drum brakes. Worse of all the Air pro doesn't have any App support so just stick with the Xiaomi or Ninebot e-scooters instead.
Wait tubeless is the only pro to this? That’s shit for way more of the price
Ben's videos are such a vide lifter👍
nice one...looks pretty decent..like you say not perfect but ticks a load of boxes for uk commuters
how much did they pay you to pump this, then?
PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON THE NEW XIAOMI PRO 2 THAT RECENTLY CAME OUT
Ben will soon! Stay tuned! Will be his golden review hehe! 😁🛴
Went to the web site no where do they mention battery size or range just motor watts of 350
. Hiding something ???
always fun entertaining xiaomi 365 owner
Imo it's rubbish. Get a m365 pro because it's lighter and has a much better range + spare parts availability

Wrong Way! I agree. And too slow. After getting scammed for Kugoo M4 pro from China. I am thinking of getting a ninebot max
Ben you need to test a kugoo m4. It's the real m365 ass kicker and costs less than £500 new.
s ninebot g30 max better than Mi pro2??
I have £600 which scooter is best for me. I’m trying to look for a fast scooter that has a long range, thank you!
How long does it last
Why couldn't it have larger battery than compared product. Darn it.
Hey Ben love your videos,where’s that boosted rev range review?
Boosted went bankrupt
Massive sale this weekend, 419 !
Take it from me, Xiaomi's 2 year warranty is bollocks.
My M365 broke down over the lockdown period. I popped it apart, did some diagnostics, worked out it was a battery/BMS issue. Got in touch, they wanted me to send it to some repair outfit in Kent who have a really bad satisfaction rating on Google. They would repair it as long as they could charge me money to repair everything else that was deemed "not warranty" and, going by the reviews, wouldn't send it back to me unless they could charge me for other repairs or they'd send it back to me with no repairs at all. This was confirmed when I spoke to their office: repair everything they deemed necessary and charge me for it or they would repair any of it.
Thankfully, I'm handy with a soldering iron. Screw Xiaomi and screw the 3rd party repair centre I'm sure I shouldn't mention.
Think I'll wait for the E-twow 2021 GT Booster and hope it has waterproofing.
The pro version has max load 150kg,the normal M365 has 100kg,from what i know
Both can support up to 100kg but I'm sure the max load is around 120kg w/ 65 max psi on both tyres.
People from 125kg use the M365 Pro and say they have no problems with it apart from going slower uphill and overheating when going off road but why would you go off road
Quite a charismatic guy! :-)) Keep it up
do the aerlang h6 please
