You’ve got a couple of decisions to make before you invest in the Xiaomi M365. First, are you OK with dropping nearly £400 on something that is bizarrely illegal to ride to work at the time of writing? Realistically, this probably isn’t going to be an issue; we’re yet to see a policeman haul a bewildered scooterer into the back of a van. But it’s something to ponder on. And secondly, are you tempted by the idea of a bigger and better M365 Pro, which should be released in the UK in the coming months? You’ll pay a fair but more for the privilege, but again, something to consider. If neither of the above are a concern, the M365 is a great choice. It feels great to ride, pairs with a useful app, and can be picked up for a very good price. You’ll struggle to find a better all-rounder.
