- Hi,
In today's video - the front suspension for the M365 for only 35 EUR (and also 30 EUR for customs :D ).
I got it from here: www.aliexpress...
As always thanks for all your love, subscribes, comments and likes!
Excellent close-up shots of all the parts - really can see the quality (or lack thereof) of manufacturing! Haven't seen this on many other channels. Keep up the great work.
Ha, matau nauja 365 fana :)) thanks bro!
Thanks, that's answers my questions about the benefits on adding a suspension, ending up not adding it because it's really not as I was expecting it to be, thanks for saving me some cash and I'm sure many other peoples cash :D! Great video and good review
Shinebo There are benefits of adding a suspension that works :D but looks like this one works as much as 10” tires. Cheers man!
@MR 777 hi, no, I did not try the back one. I saw a comparison vs the Konyk one. It looks “slimmer” on metal everywhere, but I have got impression it could work if you install a decent shock absorber. But I have not tried it myself.
I can sell mine for sure, just have in mind that shipping from Denmark to anywhere Europe will cost 230DKK (31EUR). And yes, I know it is insane price for a post package :D
How come so many people are commenting: "Nice video! I'm definitely going to get one!" Did you not watch the video?? It has no suspensions whatsoever. Thanks for the info.
Hahah you are so right mate. I think people hear what they want to hear sometimes. I find myself too often telling people in comments - this suspension is crap, don’t buy it :)
thats how the pro version should look like!!! xiaomi take notes.
Decent fork like this would add like 150eur to the price :) I think xiaomi understand that.
@@VRMinde No lol. They can produce these in huge quantities and price will be so low, price may rise maybe €20-50 on price of scooter. Not much.
@@TheLondonCyclist if that would be the truth you would see 50eur more expensive xiaomi copies with decent air suspension all over the place. Every el scooter with a good suspension is in a completely different price category for a reason :)
Save life
Xiaomi is the worst brand lol... try get a Kaaboo Wolf or a X1 Zipper.
That is some lovely chynesium metal, and the welding is something, lets say special.
yes.. very high quality :)
Just ordered mine,great video bro.
Hope you get it soon and that you will like it :)
I INSTALLED THE V2 A FEW WEEKS BACK AND IT IS BRILLIANT!
This suspension looks ok but personally I would pass.
Clear Learning the Monorim? That one looks much better. But also on a different price level :) Maybe one day... To be completely fair I was struggling today to find a bad enough road to test the suspension :D we have such great bike paths here.
VRMinde at only twice the price it’s a steal!
Peter agree..
Hi Clear Learning! 😁
Did your kid tried to drive with suspension or he evaluated it because of noise you made? I wanded to order it for my sons bike but now i dont know if its good idea. Your son is ligter, it would be great to know about his experience driving with suspension
@@edrutnikov6035 my son is not lighter any more mate. I am definitely not recommending it 🤷🏻♂️
With solid tyres there is much bigger difference, and must say it improves quite a lot driving expierience ;)
Maybe you are a bit lighter than me then as well? :)
@@VRMinde weight about 80 kg, but still you can hear how the suspension works... "Clicks" all the time 😉
Cant the strength of the springs be adjusted or something?
Springs can be replaced, but if you put stiffer ones - they will not work at all, if you put softer ones - you will constantly “bottom out” this suspension...
I just ordered what I think is the same thing from Amazon. These appear pneumatic, but are they, or do they just have 2 springs inside? Being so cheap, I think there are springs hidden inside which might actually be better because they won't fail from seal leaks. If they are pneumatic, there might be air valves under those black, plastic caps on the tops where you may be able to adjust air pressure to make it softer. If they are only springs, maybe switching springs would help, but who wants to fuss with identifying the included springs and then determining what changes you want and then sourcing it? If these don't work, I'll probably return them and buy the monorim.
I have taken this appart it was just two springs and nothing more... Could not source replacement stiffer springs and threw this suspension into a trash bin, purhcased monorim...
if you had it to do again, would you go with front or rear (or both) suspension upgrades. I suspect front improves control but rear likely improves ride @@VRMinde
It depends how good I would be on money :D If struggled a bit - I would not install suspension at all on inflatable tires scooter. Probably would not install both front and rear, better buy a scooter with a suspension...@@en2oh
why did you throw it? did it break?@@VRMinde
good point man, i thought they would actually be pneumatic, the unshielded spring ones might be better because they are larger? the pneumatic ones seem smaller and not sure if shielding is even necessary, looks nicer though
Wow great thanx for this test. I was also thinking about it but in my opinion the m365 has its advantage on asphalt street. so if you use this suspension on bad road and drive over bumps you tyres will get problem with this.
So i think the rear suspension could have more sense on asphalt street because maybe it damps the weight which is pressing more on the rear tyre. So still maybe, i am not sure. The price benefit also has to be good. at the moment the price is too high for some damping effect in my view.
The front suspension is more important as you hit objects first with it and it affects your steering. Overall, the suspension is invented less for comfort and more for control on an uneven surface.
Nevertheless, this crap does not do anything or work anywhere :D
I am uploading the second vid now, there are only springs in there, nothing to dampen the extension of it, and the travel is max 0.5cm...
My order just arrived from amazon n quality seems good . I gonna seal it frommdown and will use suspension oil inside pipe along with spring i need smooth ride ..
Love your positive videos, man =)
Denis Yurev hey! I tried to make it positive as much as I could :D the fact is this suspension is... well, not great :D
Danes are happy and positive people !
@@ciupik8571 I am not a dane, but you are right about them :) I am learning a lot of happiness and positivity while I live here :)
Thank you. Really helped me here. Was about to order these.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment :) have a great weekend!
I have one but it barely works. Im wondering what to do to make it work better . I rode other scooters without suspension and mine feels the same as them . If you can help thatd be nice
I threw it into a garbage bin, that helped 😅
In my comparison and personal observation. A fork suspension is longer play than monorim front suspension.
Do you think it’s better than monorim?
@ yeah. There is a youtube channel teaching how to change the spring holder and stopper inside the suspension fork. You can change a longer one to extend it. I agree with him, it really works. But it depend how heavy you are. Monorim has many bushing to be considered and more complicated. Fork suspension for me is simple but reliable.
It depends what shock do you install on monorim :) Monorim is 5 heads higher quality product from all aspects compared to this drunk-welded garbage
Remember to put the plug back on after each battery charge, to prevent oxidation and ingress of dust and mud and water so as not to short-circuit, or to prevent oxidation of the metal, if the metal oxidizes it will no longer have one hundred contact percent when charging and you will not have amperage in the batteries ie it will not have battery power, prevent any problem!
It is a good advice man, thanks.
have you looked to soften the suspension?
because I watched a video where they softened it.
It does not need softening, it is too soft - I bottom it out just by standing on a scooter. I have taken it away and it is somewhere in the box with broken scooter parts :)
Hello Felipe, could you please link the video?
thanks
Where is this video of them softer?
@@ps5stuffguy The fork is in the trashbin, I am not using it any more
@@VRMinde Felipe saw a video
The suspension is also very stiff to a point where it barely makes a difference. I took the suspension apart and found out that the chrome piece slide into a white nylon. The problem is that the nylon is very tight at the bottom . I had to bore so that the chrome piece slide smoothly. Now it works
Mine is moving smolthly, collapses almost to zero under my weight :)
@@VRMinde you got shit spring.. pull it apart. And you will see. Just pull the 2 plastic caps on top and use a 10mm socket with extension. Put it in and undo the 2 screws. Then get some stiffer springs. Spring are cheap
@@arnauddecotter I did mate: ruclips.net/video/AtFnbHYDz9Q/видео.html
And I not only got a shit spring, but overall a shit suspension. It is not welded straight, the construction itself has no oil dampening for the return, the welding seams look like done by a 15y.o. self-tought welder. I could not find needed size and stiffness springs anywhere around. Therefore, this suspension is in the trash corner of my garage and monorim with an air shock of 165mm travel installed on my m365 :)
Did you set the hardness with the suspension knobs? Greetings
There is no knobs and no settings mate
Is there any soft suspension i can buy for my 1s scooter ?
And can i add an extended battery for my 1s scooter ? Is it ok or dangerous ?
Hi, consider Monorim suspension, depending on what shock you will use it is working well for me for years now.
You can add extra battery and if you connect it in a correct way there is nothing dangerous about it.
Great thing.
How this is reflected in speed, given that the new shock absorber is heavier-massive than the previous wheel carrier.
Not really great, Monorim looks much better :) The weight difference will be what? Maybe 2-3kg compared to the stock one? Maybe even less. Acceleration will be a tiny bit slower, but I do not think you can sense that in real life
I don't know if ours suspension is the same, seems like, but there's a way to loose the tension of the suspension. I did it and know is much better. I really feel the difference
It is not adjustable man. There are only two springs in the shocks. I did disassemble it in the next video 🙄
Thanxs mate . I literally bought it and then I cancel my order.
david barley thanks for your comment man. Glad to know it helped you :)
@@VRMinde i bought monorim v2 cost me 90 pounds .
That sounds reasonable. I need to do it one day as well!
Can grease NOT oil be fed into the suspension shafts ? Grease wouldn't leak out...
Paul G
Great review! Do you think it will work better than riding with 10” tires? How about using then together? Thanks!
I should read previous comments before asking 😋
@@marteenleon :D you can use it together with 10", but it is not adding much use for your scooter :)
so nothing works exactly no sense? did you put some oil to fork also suspension parts? maybe with 10" tires more good
I have not done anything to it yet. I will see if there is something I can do... I will also try first to fit 10" tire on the back to level the deck to the ground as now all the weight is on the rear
@@VRMinde wuold be really cool to see a teardown, I bet there is no dampening, no oil, just springs
@@Arnthorg I am pretty sure I will crack them open to see :)
@@VRMinde hmm its like bicycle suspansion because need oil for sure also aby chance to cut little bit to fit the level?
@@lordamus it looks as a simple bike suspension, but I will try to open it and see
Is you add a tubeless tire, you really need this suspension!
Any suspension, but not this :D
@@VRMinde I have tubeless 10inch tyre, and bought the fork suspension (not the one you reviewed) but a one double as expensive (and not from aliexpress) and there is a huge difference and the quality is also better than the one you reviewed.
@@MKirloj i am now reviewing a scooter with a suspension that looks exactly like this one - iEZway EZ8, but works much better, or let’s say at least does not make any noise. I bet there are some bumpers installed that are the game changers
Dang I ordered one last week😩, and it doesn't look like is possible to change the springs for a softer ones 😕, I really like this design more than monorim because looks more simple and easy to install, shame is not better made. Did you see they also make a rear suspension for it? And that one really looks well made 👌
EDU M they have the rear one? I have not seen that no.
Hopefully yours will be better welded and straight man. I am sure if the rear wheel would be taller/rear suspension installed it would work better. Now the front is so much higher than the back and I am sure the weight distribution goes towards the rear wheel thus limiting the work of the suspension...
@@VRMinde yeah, check this out: ruclips.net/video/yYnCEFeDd8A/видео.html
You can find it in aliexpress if you search m365 rear suspension, is not the same maker as this crappy one, it looks better made just like the monorim brand.
I have the rear on the way too, just for fun because I live in Barcelona that is mostly flat and I go in bicycle lane so I don't need suspension, 10 inch tires work good enough.
I have been to Barcelona last year man. You are so lucky to ride in such a fantastic place! I am also doing a lot of inline skating (rollerblading), I even have another channel for that :) For inline skaters Barcelona is like HEAVEN! :)
That suspension looks SERIOUS man, another class than this one. I just can't find what's the price for it.
How about shock absorbing I just plan to install but it's absorbing performance seems poor.. can i adjust shock absorb and damping performance?
Sang min Lee if you hit a huge pothole - maybe it will absorb something. But for normal every day riding it seems to not really do much... and there is nothing you can adjust. Maybe replace the springs inside?
These will never work properly, even if you keep jumping on it will do basically nothing, and if it has done ever, it Was over after the first meat with any dust, you can try to buy some telescope inside, but it "starts around" 40 $ and thats only one 😅
@@JohnnyP--RES--17-ERS thank you for reply. i just hate so ugly looking of monorim v2..
@@johamdt you are right on this ,fun fact is, i have one , and near that what you said and its heavy, i didnt installed yet
but i repair stuff like this
I have Monorim V2 in my M365 and just looking at your video I must admit Monorim have much better quality and I really happy that I mounted them on my scooter
One more positive feedback on monorim :)
Gross
I think they do the job right. During installation you should be very carefully, there must be no loose. After installation they shouldn't make any noise( you can lubricate joints with WD40 if necessary ) . I have mounted blue spring because of my weight( 90kg ). But now I want to install rear suspension as well - the same as you have used in latest video
@@hellmastahh You can also get the same air shock instead of the spring I think
@@hellmastahh WD40 is not a lubricant :)
You saved me some money. Thanks
Cheers mate! 🙌
Note: he's not recommending it and he said its 3 out of 10.
Hey mate, it is a shit product, you’re right :)
@@VRMinde Did you try to put an oil on it? Some guys suggesting that.
@@gkeks1913 when I disassembled it I found it all well oiled up. The problem is the concept itself…
@@VRMinde Thanks for informing sir

The problem is that the nylon is very tight at the bottom . I had to bore so that the chrome piece slide smoothly. Something you should ask the factory to check too. Suspension too
Thanks for the review. That suspension is only as safe as the weakest weld point, and they all look shoddily welded. Imagine going 35 kmh when one of them fails. No way I would use this product. Accident waiting to happen.
Hey you’re welcome mate :)
Nice suspension man. Can you pls. Send the link where u bought it if you dont mind?
Hey man, the link is in the video description :)
Great tutorial and thanks for sharing!
Could you please tell me how is your ride with the new suspension? Is it worth it?
I own a mi3 electric scooter and both the front and the rear suspension are VERY expensive (monorim) so not sure if I should go about purchasing the items. Besides, they will add like 4-5 kilos to the scooter. Another thing, I have heard that after installment the scooter can be wobbly and the default kickstand will have to be modified lest it will topple over.
I'd really appreciate your piece of advice on this. Thanks a bunch!
Hi,
I would not recommend buying this crap… if you want suspension - Monorim is the way.
And you are absolutely right - it is very expensive, heavy, needs modifications and adds limited use 🙄 it is actually better (and cheaper) to upgrade to a scooter that has the suspension built-in… little city scooters like the mi3 are nice in a way that they are light, maneuvrable, easy to maintain… they are not made for hard off-roading
@@VRMinde You've helped me make up my mind. Upgrading to a new scooter with built-in suspension is the way to go, and it was precisely for its manoeuverability that I bought mi3 in the first place - I intend to give it to my 12yo son who will definitely need a pretty light scooter. The reason I wanted the suspensions was not for hard offroading but rather an occasional ride on some rougher terrain in the park, but I guess mi3 will be able to cope without suspensions on that.
Thanks for taking the time to answer, appreciate that!
@@bbbobbbo77 have a nice evening! :)
Thanks for an honest review. I had seriously considered this because I am bothered by the lack of suspension in my Xiaomi pro. But perhaps this is something Xiaomi should build themselves or perhaps the whole idea of suspension in a scooter is wrong to begin with because the scale is too little.
I think there are a lot of places in the world where the scooters can ride on bike paths and the suspension is not so much needed. And there are scoots with great suspensions, but it adds greatly to the price... M365 is a budget scooter.
Also check this out :) ruclips.net/video/yYnCEFeDd8A/видео.html
I think if you create a platform and handle bar suspension instead of on the wheel areas that would solve all your problems.
So the consensus seems to be that if you're under 65kg the suspension will work fine because the forks are not forced all the way down as it is for heavy, overweight 70kg-90kg+ riders like the overweight 90kg guy who actually posted this very critical video.
Basically it's clearly designed for slim non-obese Chinese/Asian riders !
Paul G
I am not overweight by any standard, but yes, should work better for a small person :)
Strangely, this shock absorber looks elegant, just right.
Monorim is a bunch of levers and hardware, it looks ugly, it makes the scooter awkward, it looks like a robot machine from the movie Terminator ...
Do you have any direct explanations, why it is not good.
This shock absorber is proportional, it has a left and a right arm, Monorim only central spring, it is illogical for me.
In any case, praise for the answer.
I can’t comment the looks or the esthetics, I know nothing about it :)
I can only comment a bit on the technical parts. 1. All the welding seams look ugly as they were welded by a drunk inexperienced guy that makes me also doubt the strength of those welds.
2. It is not even straight/proportional.
3. Even under the 60kg rider the suspension squishes almost fully and there is no travel left, any little road bump and it bottoms-out, it is simply not working.
4. There is no oil/air rebound dampening, it is a simple spring and two metal pipes. Even if you install tougher springs it will bounce like a ball on bumpy road and will not create any stability/controls (potentially worse than no suspension at all).
5. Monorim allows you to install a decent MTB shock absorber and this suspension does not. These are the key reasons I think this product is a pile of crap :)
Isn't the main point to preserve the 3 bearings longer?
The main point of suspension to preserve bearings? I have done 1500km on a scooter without needing to replace any bearings :) and probably will do another 1000
The main point of any suspension is to improve the control of the scooter when going through rough terrain, secondary - to improve comfort of riding
Can you not adjust the softness of the suspension to make it ride better?
It is too soft already mate and it is not adjustable
@@VRMinde so if its soft it works i guess ?
@@vladislavbulat5205 it bottoms-out already standing on it
It is compatible with any other scooters with same wheels?
No, should not be
I tried installing this onto my m365pro but can't get the top washer, plastic washer and the metal ring with ball bearings and the metal ring that slides down on the top of the fork to sit flush. It came with 2 metal rings that slide down the fork but could only get one to fit after abit of persuasion. Now the whole neck and handle is all rattling and loose.
Wat have I done wrong?
I can't even get the old forks to fit back on. It's like once I undid to install this suspension it's done something to to fork, neck, handle.
Very annoyed as Ur video looked it very easy to install.
Any suggestions??
Thx
Hi mate, hard to fix scooters over the chat :/ you have most probably missed some part/put the bottom bearing wrong or similar. It should not have really damaged anything 🙄 try going trough one more time step by step maybe 🙄
Well installed the original forks and took the washer with the ball bearings and installed that onto the bottom on the new suspensions.
Slide that on.
On the 365pro model at the top of neck there is another ball bearing washer, and a washer with a plastic washer that fits inside.
In the suspension kit came 2 metal rings, only one would fit. On Ur video U slide it on over the top then the plastic cover then the screw on the side and then put the neck back on.
I did exactly same got it to line up as level as possible put the neck and handle back on but it's all wobbly.
It's like the kit isn't made for the pro as they advertise.
So I decided to just put it back to original spec no suspension. Removed the metal ring as that came in the suspension kit and same thing it's all wobbly at forks neck, stem and handle.
Got me confused
I have tried installing and reinstalling about ten times now. It's simple science but something ain't right.
Is yours the m365 or m365pro model?
@@dustinbentley193 mine is 365, not pro. I have doubts if xiaomi would develop a different steering column for the pro model though 🙄
@@dustinbentley193 I can feel your confusion man
do you think I should buy it cuz where i live there r pebbles and potholes everywhere.

it looks very very fragile with plastic parts ....
And the welds are also badly done!
thank you very much for this video anyway now everyone know what to expect !
Be careful
Bount x attention to the details is missing indeed. Thank you mate!
you need to give it a bit of time to soften the spring.
It is not too stiff mate, it is too soft. I bottom it out on every tiny pothole 🤷🏻♂️
Thx the review man, its really help.
You are welcome and thanks for the comment!
does this suspension work with 1S, as i know m365 and 1s have same base
it does not work at all :D But it should fit the 1s as well

Hi
Maybe you can make the fork mor softly with adjustment?
There is nothing to adjust, unfortunately. And I “bottom-out” this suspension on any bigger pothole, if I made it somehow softer I would allways bottom it out :)
Really cool video, thanks for the valuable info! I have been using this scooter for over a year and a half while living here in the Philippines and I also made a review of it on my channel recently. I saw a bunch of different suspension types for it, but I think this one is the best yet!
By the way, what camera did you use to shoot this video? Was it the Insta 360 One R?
Hi, I think this suspension is really bad man :)
The riding videos done with the Insta 360, but the product shots and other "still" images are done with Nikon Z6.
@@VRMinde Well thank you for that update! I started my channel just a year and a half ago with a GoPro Hero 7 but this past June I started using an Insta 360 One R. Loving the results with it. You might want to check out the video I just posted an hour ago and the review of my Xiaomi m365 from about a month ago.
Hi, I bought this fork too, but when I mounted it I noticed that the handlebar of the scooter is slightly moved to the right, it happened to you too?.. i have a xiaomi me pro 2
I am trying to think how could you handlebar moved and I do not come up with an idea :) My fork is not even, maybe yours is even more skewed. It is a really low quality product...
You need to make sure the wheel and steering is both straight when you tighten all the bolts, it like on a bike when you crash and then you need to turn the steering wheel to the side for the wheel to move straight. Easy fix
I added this to me shopping list on temu, it was around $50-60NZD then i got one of those random temu discount things pop up which brought it down to $5 so i ended up getting the rear suspension as well 😂😂😂
that is about what it should cost :)
hahahahaha i wish i had watched this before i clicked buy! great video dude
Maybe yours will be better :)
They should sell two versions one for lighter people(under 60kg) with squishier less stiff suspension and one stiffer version for heavy riders over 60 kg. I assume that internal springs provide the suspension.
Suspension seat-posts for bicycles don't seem to have much effect either.
Lack of escooter suspension can also shake up and loosen the battery pack so it's not just a rider comfort issue...
Paul G
i bought one and its very hard to pump it has nothing with weight as i test it wit 65 and 93 kg always the same way down about 1 or 2 millimeters , it was better they made it more soft as there is no difference after i installed the suspension...i removed it and installed the original one...43 dollars for nothing
@@monmonmon4177 Thanks - your comment is more valuable than the video.

Would this be safer or less wobbly than the monorim style fork. 👌 Great vid

This fork, in this video is a cheap piece of crap. Monorim is much better in so many ways (only maybe the visual aspect is worse for some people)
Suspension works and it s god if you have under 80kg. For me at 94kg i need harder springs
It does not work with my son who at the time of testing was like 50kg 🙄 it is just cheap crap 🙄
That suspension is super cheap. You will only really notice a different if you're using airless tires. That's what you should get a suspension for
If you get to pay import taxes (as I did) it is not even that cheap. But it is very bad.
I have an aovo pro m365, my front suspension came in today but i notice the suspension is probably 1 inch shorter than the original stock fork, unable to screw the pole into the suspension brcause of the shortness of the suspension, can you help me please
So the part with the thread is shorter than the stock one? If that is the case you won’t be able to install it I guess..
The fork works well, just pay attention not to pinch it against wheel, it is a bit wider than it should be and I needed to add washers under dropouts. Still, its just a spring, no damping no rubber inside, bottoms out metal on metal.
Depends what do you mean "works well, but no damping" :) There are rubber "limiters" inside if you saw my next video where I took it appart.
And it is wider, you can probably fit wider tires.
@@VRMinde mine doesn't seem to have these transparent rubbers. I wonder if there are oil seals to fit this on top maybe seal threads on the bottom and fill with some oil. But this may be just (translated directly from Polish) "sculpting in shit", not worth it ;)
@@Lvvcassss hahah like the phrase! And I think this is exactly that :D There is a reason why any decent shock absorber has some costs - needed precision both in manufacturing and assembly, some brain behind the design :) The manufacturer of this suspension does not have either :)
Hi, I just dont know where to ask anymore. If you're still alive, if it's not too inconvenient, i Just need you to tell me how wide the gap of that fork is.
Thanks in advance.
I don’t know if I even have it mate… I think it is in a trash…
@@VRMinde ohh.. alright.. how about the monorim? Do you know how wide the gap of that is? Im just concerned because i bought a CyberSoul X3 Pro. Its suppose to be a copy of the mi scooter pro 2, but im finding that its tires are larger & wider
@@xha0s If I won’t forget I will check later today mate
Are the handle bars really wobbly? I just put the suspension on my aovo and they are well wobbly and pretty sure not safe to ride
I did not notice increased wobble. Did you tighten the bearing enough? The bearings on m365 need to be preloaded just enough, but not too much with the top bolt and only then the bolts from the sides tightened 🙄
@@VRMinde yeh i tighted everything up, as said the aovo doesn’t come with bearings, asked the person i bought it off and hes literally just saying you dont know how to fit it! Iv put it exactly on as this video, cant believe him
@@Newb118 it can’t be without bearing mate 🙄 there must be bearings for steering. Are you sure they are not left in the frame?
@@VRMinde defiently no bearings mate and i bought it brand new, its got the black ring thing but no bearings
Hey mate what is that screw for 2:55 mine dident have that either
Hello, can you please tell me what happened to your suspension? Based on your other comments I'd rather say you're not happy with it. Did it break or what?
Hi, it just did not really do anything. The springs are way too soft for my 90kg. When I stand on it - they go down all the way and basically are useless 🙄
@@VRMinde holy shit . So if i am 75kg i shouldn't even consider them?
I think there are better products on the market. Overall, I doubt if these little suspensions add a lot of benefit
@@VRMinde i find monorim a decent price at first on the website, but they are pretty much scammers when it comes to vat, delivery price and also including customs tax.. too expensive for me
do U think I should buy it cuz where I live it is very bumpy and there are pebbles and potholes everywhere
Есть смысл замены оригинальной вилки на это?
На самом деле очень спорно, увеличивается вес, из за чего уменьшается пробег, ну и цена.
Я б не менял. Снял и поставил Монорим
I also bought the same, the damping effect is not very good. So I'm not going to spend any extra money on the M365.I'd rather buy another model of electric scooter. Spent a lot of money, but never achieved the desired result。 Many electric scooters at the same price are better than the M365/Pro. (Many electric scooters at the same price are much better than the M365/Pro), but the design may not be as perfect.
At the stock price of m365 - others just add more "features". Like the Kugoo. But they are built in a shitty way, everything breaks, there are neither spare parts nor customer service... But you are right - upgrading becomes unfeasible at some point and it makes sense to just get a higher-tier escooter instead :)
This is how much that new fitted suspension fork moved below
.
Not much...
How is the quality? And which is the weight limit?
My son is less than 50kg and it still won’t work...
iam using the other cheaper bigger suspension for around 1 year, have you tried that one out?
the one youre using is new, iam not sure if i want that one^^
We should exchange them. This one is total shit. It does nothing. Waste of money.
Has anyone seen the other very different-looking and even cheaper+lighter front spring suspension alloy-alumimium add-on for the M365 that sells on TEMU and Aliexpress for about $25 ? I have just found one on TEMU for just $23 with brand name Lixada - sorry but I don't know how to directly link(URL) to a TEMU item - can anyone get and post the URL ?
Paul G
When I filmed this there was no TEMU existing I think :) So I have not tried no :)
This looks like... does it works on pro 2?
it does not work on anything, just don't buy it mate :)
Tío yo he montado una muy parecida a esta pero no amortiguación nada muy duras sabes porque?
Hola hombre, espero haber traducido bien tu mensaje. Esta suspensión no es nada buena. No funciona. Estoy ajustando monorim v2 ahora. Tal vez los resortes más fuertes podrían ayudar un poco, pero no estoy seguro.
Yo opino lo mismo,no valen nada no amortiguan
R: Hola, yo no tengo hermanientas para poder cortar el tubo, me pasa lo mismo el tornillo central de la horquilla no enrosca..nose que hacer porque sin esto se puede doblar.. alguna otra solución ? lo agradecería mucho!!
Hello, nice video!
If Monorim front suspenson is 100% quality, what % is this New chinese front suspension?
For 35€ is better choice than Monorim for 80€?
Thanks!
PD: you test the rear chinese suspension?
Hi mate, I have not tried the monorim yet so I cannot really compare.
This suspension for me with import taces cost around 55 eur or so, so it is not much cheaper then the monorim.
This suspension is not really working for me, it does not really absorb the small bumps and on any bigger bump it just bottom-outs immediately, so it is not working either. Welding looks like done by a drunk teenager, the fork is not even straight... that tells a lot about the mindset of the manufacturer of this suspension at least for me.
I did not try the chinese rear one, just installed the KONYK from Ukraine and it looks really great.
@@VRMinde ok thanks!
Hi, does it fit for pro2? It is worth the upgrade?
Hi, do not know. No - not worth it man
@@VRMinde Did you add air in the suspension ? Mby its like MTB suspension. And you need to add air in them.
@@DuchessOlivia please check my next video - I have opened this suspension to see what is inside. There is only one simple coil spring. Simple air shock (where you can actually add air and that actualy works) will cost you 2x what this entire fork costs :)
Good video !😊
Thanks for the visit!
What is that accessory at 6:03 on the bottom right side of the steering bar?
Oh that’s an Abus Bordo lock holder 🙄
Hello i have brought the suspension everything fits but when i screw it from the folding bit, the stem only moves not the fork/tyre so can you help me
You are most likely overtightening the fork bearing. You should not yank it all the way. The "old days" learning is you tighten it until it's "tight" and then go 1/4 turn back. It is a bad guidance but I do not know any better... You want to make sure there is no "play" but not too tight to not be able to turn the wheel
@@VRMinde oh right you know the pole that goes to the folding mechanism its about 2 inches short as well so yh
@@VRMinde plus I'll subscribe
Welds seem a bit rough but unlikely they are going to fail.
I suspect that the Shocks are just like those on low and midpriced Mtn bikes.. imposters... with no actual Hydraulic shock innards. All show and no go.
Not surprising when even cheap ass 'real' shocks cost multiples the price of this 'Fork'
bare nekid I tend to agree with you a lot. I do not think these welds will fall off. And the suspension is completely like a supermarket-like mtb one. It should get rusty after 3 months and stop moving at all :)
Currently the prices on mtb parts have gone through the roof. Front fork costs more than entire scooter with all the upgrades :)
What is that tool at 1:28 is for? :D Did you use that for something?
are you talking about the kickstand? :)
@@VRMinde yeah, that's right! :D why do they send one? I got one too 😅
@@fitlifeben because when you will install the front suspension - your original kickstand will be too short. This is longer than the original one :)
@@VRMinde ohh, thanks!
Holy shit how do these people exist without walking off a cliff on accident
Good job bro 👏👍
Thanks a bunch! 🙌
Can we use suspension oil in that pipe or it's dry only ..
You can but it will leak out :)
I love that suspension. I want one
At least someone likes it :)
Ordered 1 for my ninebot Max , aliexpress
Will my 10 inch tires fit in this?
I did not try, but from the looks they should fit
@@VRMinde It looks like it'll fit 10x2.5 tires, maybe wider which gives opportunity to install offroad ones ^^
Subscribe cuz of the nice front suspension
The main problem with this suspention system is mainly because it's like an fork, and not as a shock with the linkage and all of those things. So they are really useless
it is only a spring... there needs to be something regulating the rebound as well. I got very good rear suspension now. Will be filming and uploading soon! :)
Suitable for the s1?
S1 has a very similar if not better suspension, if you talking about the kugoo s1. And no, it won't fit
nice i just order the suspension fork for my xiaomi m365 and need tools for installation all my need is a upgrade
I hope it will work well for you man!
I see danish flags all over, are you located in denmark?🇩🇰🇩🇰
Hi, yes I am :)
Nice! I live in denmark aswell. just recently bought a m365.. only thing i dont really like about it is that the handle bar is not that wide, however i’ll order one for a bike to mount on the scooter instead
Rather wait for Xiaomi to make a successor of the Pro 2, aka Pro 3 with suspension than rely on 3rd party suspension. Looks risky!
gtone339 I do not think the welds will fall off, I would say it looks ugly and does not really work :) But the biggest risk is to loose your money.
If xiaomi comes out with another scoot I think I will buy it even if I don’t need another one. Overall I am very much impressed with this brand.
@@VRMinde All good. Provide us some more updates on it like within a week/month and does it really work as a alternative 3rd party suspension?
@@gtone339 I can already tell you it does not work as a 3rd party suspension (at least for me).
ATM I am riding so much less on my scooters as I work from home 95% of my time... I will not have a decent update in a couple of weeks I think. But If I do I will definitely make a vid man. Thanks for your comments!
is there a way to increase the stiffness of these suspensions?
Probably if you find stiffer springs
@@VRMinde yeah I thought you did.. this fork is like 30 bucks on ali and they put on 2000 USD scooter.. I bottom all the time
@@archeebookingagent1909 same here, mine is next to all the unused trash… it is a shit product
Can i pu it to do Aovopro ES80 electric scooter? Is a m365 copy
Hi, no idea mate
Yes
Why is mine runs wiggling like snake? Its may be have no proper wheel alignment?
It might be not straight..
Check Ur air pressure. I had same issue . I replaced rear with solid tyre . Now no tension for air pump or anything
Update for the issue and now was already figure out and solved. The center bolt that connected with the fork and steering post need to tighten very well. It will happened to make shaky if the bolt is loosen or loosening because it can't control its maneuvering.
Fitting 10" tire is better than any suspension...
I would not agree to that :) my rear suspension with an air shock provides a lot of comfort and you can have the suspension + 10” tire
@@VRMinde I am just thinking for normal every day use (on pavement/road) and the cost. A 10" tire costs about $10/15 and will do virtually the same job on road as air suspension (about 10x cost) due to virtually no piston travel unless under harsher loading/unloading than normal flat road use (i.e. they shine under off road/rough surfaces compared to tires). Air tires react to smaller imperfections in surfaces, so larger air volume tires create more cushioning for flat surfaces with small imperfections :-) Perhaps I should have put 'Fitting 10" tire is better than any suspension on road...' as original reply lol.
@@Ra-zor as I own both a scooter with 8.5”, 10” and another one with suspension - I can tell there is a difference.
For the good roads I agree with you - you don’t need any suspension. Just air tires are enough.
On the other hand, for the roads in some Eastern European cities - suspension helps A LOT as there are things like completely missing tiles or two of them making almost a small jump ramp /\ etc. :) while the travel is not that big, air shock significantly reduces the impact and makes riding not only more comfy, but also safer as the tire gets the grip much faster.
Another use (I am still about to try it) is suspension and solid tires so you never get punctures :)
Price - is a completely different topic, you are right that suspension is very expensive.
