Presentation of the electric scooter Xiaomi M365 Pro

Xiaomi is a Chinese brand that has made a lot of noise thanks to its range of cheap and powerful smartphones. You don’t know this company? You doubt the quality of this Chinese company? Get your doubts out of your head, forget the prejudices associated with Asian companies.

Here we are facing a giant of new technologies. Let’s just take the example of the best selling smartphones. In March 2020, Xiaomi placed in the top 10 best sellers with two of its smartphones, one of them in 4th position (the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro).

This new electric scooter has many of the same features as the original M365, but with some minor adjustments and improvements.

Xiaomi M365 Pro : our opinion

Why Xiaomi and not another one ?

This question resonates in our heads today with a certain bitterness. The latest developments during the year 2020 have made China the little dark horse. So why, we French, should choose the Asian brand when other European and even French brands are very good competitors (Cf. Beeper with the Max FX10).

Moreover, you might ask where to find the models of the brand. Well, actually you can either go to the store or directly on sites such as Amazon for example (and why not make a wishlist). By going through online sales platforms, you could do the shopping directly from your armchair and only have to wait for the delivery of your electric companion.

A company with global roots in new technologies

Our article does not serve to place the brand Xiaomi. But rather serves to give you good reasons to choose one brand over another.

If we were to compare the Xiaomi Pro or Original to the Beeper, we could say that the Asian brand is, against all expectations, much better finished than the French one. Yes, for once a Chinese brand does better than a European one…

Xiaomi is first of all a company that is well known all over the world and that we could easily compare to the Korean firm Samsung. It is present in the field of High Tech among the top of the world’s major companies.

It has the solid backbone to release high quality products with the latest technical features both in terms of performance and protection.

Xiaomi: master of High-Tech products

As we said above, Xiaomi has established itself in the field of High-Tech with many products sold and recognized around the world.

From high-end smartphones to robot vacuums to electric scooters. The brand never stops creating successful products. For proof, just type a few keywords on Google to find a lot of comments and feedback from customers. You will find that the rating given to this company is extremely positive.

A product that can be customized at will

Social networks such as Facebook are full of groups where the Xiaomi community exchanges on the maintenance and customization of their scooters. You will find many tips on the subject. And you’ll find that many Xiaomi M365 users have modified their scooters to optimize performance.

A reliability without name

In addition to the advice of the community, you will find that many have traveled several thousand miles with their electric scooter. Some reviews even indicate nearly 10,000 km on this little two-wheeler without encountering any major breakdown.

The reviews on the Xiaomi M365 are numerous but the observation is the same, this product in Pro or Original version meets a real success and that is noticed by many starred comments.

To conclude

To conclude, the Xiaomi M365 is in our opinion with the Xiaomi M365 Pro a real competitor on the market of green mobility and more precisely of electric scooters! They offer quality services and have many assets that they are not afraid to display.

They are two means of transportation specially designed for the city that will perfectly meet the needs of users. Their low prices will seduce many of you. When you order a product from this brand, you will receive a real technological jewel!

If you would like to receive them as a gift, don’t hesitate to make a wishlist so that your friends and family don’t get the wrong model.
