There are two color options for the Xiaomi M365 folding electric scooter – black and white. We took our hands on the former one. As usual, the scooter comes with a minimalist design. But before we discuss the Xiaomi scooter design, let’s see what’s inside the box.
As it’s an electric device, it’s quite reasonable to see a power adapter. Other than that, there are 4 screws, a screwdriver, and an extension for the inflatable mouth.
Once the installation is over, we can look at the Xiaomi M365 folding electric scooter from every quarter. Its height is 114cm, which is quite appropriable for most users.As the name suggests, the Xiaomi M365 folding electric kick scooter can be folded down.
The handlebar comes at 43cm, which is a regular shoulder width of an adult. Therefore, it will help to control the vehicle easily when riding. The grip is made of rubber. So it provides a non-slip performance.Next to the grip we can see the bells. Though they sport a stylish look, and you can expect more, since the sound is more pleasant than what we hear on many scooters.

But be careful not to let the handlebar get horizontal.
We can also seen from above picture, the pad is made of an anti-skid and non-slip material. Thanks to a number of lumps, the anti-skid effect is very good. The Mijia logo placed on the pedal looks pretty nice as well.
The charging port is located under the pad. It is protected with a waterproof rubber.
The battery is placed under the pad occupying the entire perimeter. It’s covered with plastic. It’s not made of metal due to some restrictions concerning the heating.
