That's the fun thing about Belgium. It doesn't matter of it's legal or not. Who f*cking cares. It's like a drone. No one actually knows what's legal or not. Just handle the thing responsible, and no one will bat an eye.
Smart words... some people miss common sense these days
Very true...
Well the laws are in place because not all people can act responsibly lol
The difference is there are clear rules set out by the aviation authorities about drones. Just because everyone ignores the rules doesn't mean there aren't any.
Weed is not legal, the real one...Ben zelf Belg,si tu veut en Français pareil, België dom klein landje,un peu comme je préférais un peu de weed,Belgium like a cleft palate...maar blijf leuk...
I´ve done 1300 km on mine, and it still works like a charm. The folding mechanism is still holding up great!
I admire how bike friendly Belgium looks.
It s another universe compared to italy
Come visit the Netherlands.
Belgium is a nightmare compared to the dutch roads
@@TheAdventuresOfCow so true haha those patches and holes 😂😂😂
teunje2 fucking belgen ook altijd xD 😂
Come to Limburg it's the most bike friendly Province of belgium
wish i lived in a civilised country with proper bike lanes
Same
Ce bine ar fii daca si la noi în tara ar fii asa!
Basing your countries civility on it's bike lane situation rather than..........I don't know, murder rate?
@@username-tp6dq Murder rates should not exists. Wish whole world problems were like lack of bike lanes!
Sometimes that dosnt help
In my country Bikers still use the road when theyres a Bike Path.....🙄people..
I have both an e-scooter and an e-bike. Really the difference is just how far you want to go. Inside your town->scooter, between towns->bike. They are both great and you might pick one of both anyway.
have you ever get a ticket from an officer when you were riding on the road? cuz i'm going to buy an electric scooter and i dont wanna get pulled over.
XUFENG HUANG They honestly do not really care here in Belgium so far.
I'm from Belgium and it's so cool to find an belgian review about the scooter !
It's nice to see how the roads look like elsewhere. So different from what I'm used to. :) Great review. Thanks !I'm waiting for my m365 right now.
Electric scooters are a way forward in cities. And yet,the muppets in Irish department of transport want to ban it.
Yeah because think of all the money they will lose from parking permits and parking tickets if everybody started riding scooters. Not to mention all the gas taxes the state and local city will lose out on. Plus no DMV registration, no insurance, or license needed to ride. No speeding tickets, red light tickets, or handicap parking registration or tickets.
Buy Ireland is part of the European Union and the rest European countries are allowed under Europe union law to have them so fuck the Dept of transport,, it's not right to be told that we have to follow the rules of the European Union for the things that suit the idiots in the Irish government and then they can just undermine our rights as people who live under the rules of the European Union
Its like they are treating us like complete Fools, bunch of shitheads
Yeah it's just great to hear this as I just purchased one, but fuck it I'm gonna rode it until its taken off me... Fuck the system
In england they are illegal too but I ride last policemen all the time and they don’t really care at all

Vote it down!
Great video im glad to see a fellow M365 owner
I have the full version it does 30km and takes 100kg i would highly recommend it its awesome, thats what the manufacturer claims ive done 22km on one charge and i weigh 75kg which is frankly amazing for something with no visible power source. Also you dont get spare tyres with the it, ive no idea why you think that.
You really need to buy a solid tyre for the rear as a puncture is super difficult to deal with and that slime stuff doesnt work. Xiaomi bought Segway and in the EU and the US they sell them as segway, the newer versions of them anyway the m365 is 3 years old now.. There is no warranty with xiaomi in the EU, i had a hall sensor issue out the box which i had to fix myself which was a pain. Its a lot more expensive but if you can afford it buy the segway ES2 the m365 is like the 1st attempt and its great but there is a eunos which is the 2nd one and the segway es1 and es2 which are 3rd generation even though these are from different companies its the same factory and engineers and the design is much more refined by then. Id recommend buying that one it also has a range extender battery that attaches to it. the segway ones are much more expensive so if your happy to risk no warranty and safe a fortune ( like half the price) sure get a m365 ( not youth) I waited for a sale and got it for £300. The retail on the es2 is like £549 but it has a much better hinge, a 1 inch suspension which is a huge improvement and a few other improvements for flaws that appear over time. nothing product breaking just 1st gen vs 3rd gen stuff.
Hey @PwnstarUK I have a question I'm a big dude like 1'93 and 105kg. In your opinion would I be able to ride this? I'm considering to buy one for myself
Mine came with a spare tyre set.
I'm 6'4" as well and about 95kg, expect you'll be fine
This scooter can reach the 25k/h without changing any thing???
my scooter came with two spare tires
I am in same area as you. The streets looked familiar :) I have the m365 full version. It is a great scooter. The only issue is when you run a flat. There are some great YT vids demonstrating step by step how to get the wheel off. (lot of screws) but removing/putting back the tire itself can be a serious pain in the ass. The thing that also proved to be useful is to get one of those bike mounts for your smartphone. That way you can use Waze or whichever nav app you like when you visit a city/area you are not familiar with.
Great video! Especially that you were talking about how it performs in cold weather conditions.
Great review. Thank you. Very tempted by these!
In Holland, they will send a whole SWAT team and maybe half of the army to arrest you since you are considered a highly wanted criminal for driving such a thing.
Seriously? I knew that Netherlands is a police country, but I didn't realise you cannot drive an electric scooter, how is so?
That’s not true you can ride the just fine in the bike lines . Even Vespas are allowed in the bike lanes but some say they will ban these . But electric scooters like that one is just fine
They have this new one called the condor x3 nl which apparently is legal under Dutch law because it doesn't have an accelerator
@@PunkSage Wtf do you mean a "police country"? Get your head out your ass - The Netherlands is absolutely a free country
jve89: In Germany the same: you have to have a license plate, helmet, insurance and so on, but no insur BGE will give you an insurance for what
Not only you have the same name, you also bought the same scooter and live in the same country. Nice video.
The anti-theft feature actually brakes the scooter so you can't just roll it away. Not sure if you have the most recent firmware.
There is also a way to increase the power & performance. send me a pm if needed. got 70km's on mine now, but can't wait for summer.
i hope the anti theft feature protects you from knives and guns too
Sup RenzVC, can you tell me how did you get 70 km on your scooter? Thanks :)
that was the total of kilometers I've driven with it :p now closer to 200. Range is around 22 in eco, 20 in normal (but i updated it to go faster. around 32 on flat road)
My dream city.. where is this.. i like when people use more bike than cars :)
@@sallynie8095 san francisco is the king of electric scooters and folding bikes and everything overly techie on the streets 😂
I remember this was the first video I ever saw about e-scooters back in 2019. I bought my first one and been happy since.
Very well explained. I'm buying it soon you've convinced me. New subscriber 👍
Great review man, merci! Cheers from Sydney
Had one for about half a year. Things to be cautious about, the tires are almost a pain to change if you have a flat. However you can get conversion tires that are solid (aliexpress), though you do lose a little traction and wouldn't recommend on slippery roads. But it is good alternative since you don't have to worry about punctures or tire pressure. Whatever you do, do not ever drop this scooter, first thing to go is the bell handle (part where it clips down when folded), and the next is the kickstand. These two parts break of very easily and there is no glue strong enough to bond it back together.
Feel free to post and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
BTW it weighs around closer to 14-15kg. Alright to carry if you're taking taking it out on flat road but you'll regret taking it up and down several flights of stairs daily.
MY Sign Language the solid tires are a bitch to get on
Whatever TH-cams algorithm is doing here. I hope you get more views. You deserve it man.
I really like the look of that. i am 46, thinking of using the credit card to obtain one. Great for short 10 km travels. Nice video as well. Well made Great shots of Belgium . i need to visit Antwerp again soon on my Vespa. :-)
I used to take the same route (Wetteren station to Melle) back in the 90's while in school at similar 20km/h with my not so electric Solex. And then the same road (St Pieters to Holstraat) while at uni.. Weird to see both routes again:) Also, I was in Shenzhen recently and had the exact same bike in my hands wondering if I should buy it! Groeten uit London

"Only 33 days later" wow lol, thats a long ass delivery time.
cool review dude:) very detailed and honest and local:)
I had a xootr when I worked in Pyrmont over 10 years ago and ride to and from the train station. Was great on flats. When we changed offices to Surry hill and there was a very steep hill it was useless.
This electric scooter looks like it would have possibly been a solution for going uphill.
These are the same scooters that Bird uses for their shared scooter service here in he states
Whaaat? They looked familiar....
-"only" took 30 days to arrive.
-Weight limit is 75Kg
-Speed drops to walking pace if conditions are not ideal.
-Range is "pretty ok" (8km).
-Probably not legal.
-Rear break sucks.
-Actually costs 460€
That is the adult version price (356 EUR on GearBest megabonus.com/y/teJMy ), plus in the US u can find a local seller. He is basically overloading a battery and motor due to it being cut down version - that is why the slow speed. I would rather get 1000w MagicPie for my bike.
mate, even a cheap 100 eur used bike would be far usperior transport method than this
You American?
I Belgian
@@germas369 no, cause it costs you money to carry in on the train in his country which he does on a daily basis.
I have the regular m365 normal battery and the weight is a bit heavy to lug around, our train service in Canada is decent but commuters still dont like you very much with a scooter on the floor. Its an ongoing reason to bump into you, so it was good to see other travel systems are more friendly towards eco friendly travel. I use the scooter to avoid parking at the train station.
I use a push scooter now, razor a5 air, only weighs 5.5 Kg with pneumatic wheels, its a push scooter but better for short range due to the form factor.
Thanks for the video and happy scooting.
Great video! Thank you for all the information mate :)
Great scooter,,, I've had mine for close to 5 months never experienced any issues 😁10/10
cobyveron where did you buy it?
AlwaysRoos i bought mine from Amazon,,now is cheaper goes around $450
cobyveron cobyveron oke thnx bro🙋♀️ butt why this youtiber says “the best 245 i ever spent” ?
AlwaysRoos oh beacuse thats Euros not Dollars,,,Euros is stronger than dollars so basically almost the same amount
cobyveron euros? yesss! i come from holland😝 so i pay with euros🙋♀️🙋♀️😝😝
I got myself an electric folding bike and it's absolutely amazing. The range of the scooter would not be enough for me and I know for a fact that it wouldn't be legal here in Germany.
The bike has a stated range of 70km and if the battery indicator is anywhere near accurate, I can believe that. (Haven't ridden it that far yet)
It can also go 25 km/h (often slightly more, actually) and, while it does take slightly longer to fold up, you can still fold it in like 10 seconds.
It was a lot more expensive, though, I'll give you that.
Which electric folding bike did you get?
How much?
Wat een goede review video. Ik stond juist op punt om mijn aan te kopen . Na deze video krijg ik nog meer zin om de adult versie te kopen . mijn werk is 7 km. Ben benieuwd ! Antwerpen stad!
10/10 on that Miata. I drive a green 99 and you just reassured me that the scooter would fit. Fat thumbs up
6:30 I bet most older police would think it is just a regular non-powered push scooter, and are just wondering how you go so fast... LOL
(It doesn't really look like it has a motor or batteries)
Biggest problem with this product is when you get a puncture. Its a nightmare to repair, as its very awkward to take off the wheel and replace.
Totally agree and mine stopped working properly once I changed the wheel
And police can just take them away in the uk
@@jaden9389 that’s stupid
tho you can buy honeycomb solid wheels from amazon.
@@jaden9389 no they can’t
For people from some European countries , sometimes there are offers on Gearbest to deliver the M365 from their GW4 warehouse (Poland) so you dont have to wait 1 month for the usual delivery from China. I ordered mine on a monday and got it delivered the same week on friday (UPS).
The video was great! In Japan, you can't easily ride an Electric scooters yet. The law is troublesome. I'm looking forward to the video! With love from Japan :)
0:35 nice electric jack hammer you have there
lol
Thank you for talking about the weight limit.. (next)
Thanks dude
Looking at buying one and this was a useful video
This looks like fun! BTW, I heard on 'de inspecteur' that nobody really knows the legalities. They called an importer and someone from the police I believe and nobody could 100% say if you need insurance or a licence plate or not.
There is a shared scooter service in brussels so it should be legal.Espescially because it is similar to e-bikes and only assists you.
You live in belgium? I initially thought it was the case just seeing the park at 1:30 then saw a sign for lokeren.
Awesome review, love it to bits.
Great perspective on this lil scooter
I had this scooter and battery fuse blew after 200km. Be very careful with emergency braking as this will overload the regenerative braking and blow the fuse. Try stopping as hard as you can from full speed. Will kill the fuse.
Hasn't this been patched yet?
@seguiriya1 If you use it a lot, it might be worth replacing the whole thing after a year?
It's illegal to ride on the road in Singapore....top speed only allowed at 25kph.....riding on pathway or parkconnector only.
hey cheers from Belgium! great review
Long live Belgium! Great video, very helpful
Nice review and picture quality! Greetings from Russia!
Now you see theme everywhere in Belgium XD !
Very good review, good job, I always wanted to buy it.🥺
It is unfortunately illegal to rid it in the uk😑
Gent, I miss gent, you went next where I used to live, opposite Macdonald and Panos 😊
Thank you for this review. That's exactly what I was looking for! Probably I will buy, however I still prefer bikes. Cheers!
Great video, thanks for sharing.
You see more and more people riding these scooters here in Spain. I was once told that for an ebike EU legislation says that it can only have 250W, max 25kph and no throttle. I was told that if I were "caught" riding my e-MTB I would get three fines. One for not wearing a crash helmet, one for not having a number plate and one for not having insurance. My e-MTB is over 250W, has a throttle (as well as pedelec). The throttle means it's classed a "motor" bike, hence the three fines!
I usually ride off road, and often disconnect the throttle if I'm in town.
There were changes in 2017 to the EU standards. 25kph cut off and up to 1kW engine power is considered "assisted bicycle", but it needs to have "type approval" (certificate of conformity). Quote: In the new type-approval, there are 2 categories that can accommodate electric bikes. L1e-A is for “powered cycles” with a maximum speed of 25 km/h and maximum 1 kW of power. L1e-B is for “mopeds” with maximum 45 km/h and 4 kW. So-called speed pedelecs up to 45 km/h come under this category.
Now the throttle is complicated question. Basically it's still open question (?), but consensus is that it's fine as long as it in 25kph / 250W category (defined in separate standard, does not require anything) and 25kph / 1kW category (aka L1e-A category, defined in separate standard, type approved).
davidlt Thanks David, that's good to know, a move in the right direction. My bike is a bit of a frankenstein, self built, so no type approval, and probably fits into the higher power category. I only really use it on the road when there's no off road alternative.
I am looking deeper into this. The regulation for new categories are here: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2078/0975/files/EU_L1e-A_Regulation.pdf?2502859001790126765#page=43
IIRC the rules still are different in each country. E.g, in Belgium L1e-A does not need to registered and only requires you to always have CoC (Certificate of Conformity). Now in France you need to register, have insurance and driving license.
So it's still good to check requirements in your own country.
This is another good document which covers the current state in EU: bike-eu.com.s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/app/uploads/2015/09/rules-regulation-on-electric-cycles-in-the-european-union-may-2017.pdf
Basically in EU we have now categorized electronic bicycles in 3 categories and we have defined proper requirements for them. Registration, insurance, helmet requirement, etc. are still different between countries with requires more work.
E.g., 25kph, up to 1kW which is L1e-A will require AM license and minimal age. If you have 25kph, up to 250W the rules as as normal bicycle (some countries still have minimal age requirement).
davidlt Cheers! I'll check out the links.
I've been thinking about one as well but here in the Netherlands they're not allowed for now. The electric step would fall into the moped category for vehicles and therefore need a vehicle identification tag stamped into the frame, a number plate as well as basic road insurance. To get those things you need to have the step tested by the authorities which is something the manufacturer needs to do as far as I know. Also for now there're no steps that have been approved so far as far as I'm aware. On TV they discussed it and there was a guy who's step was taken by the police, the guy was fined and eventually the step destroyed "because we don't want untested motorised junk on the road" according to the ministry...
You have to underline on the title that you're reviewing the "youth" edition and not the standard one. Which is not correct for whose who clik on your video.
Looks so smooth to ride. Need to find a good reason to buy one of these
Awesome review. Great job!
It will have the same rights as a bycycle in 2019-2020 with the new trafic code.
Question: what if the battery is empty, can you use ut as a standard step ?
I België is het vanaf 16 jaar legaal om elektrische voertuigen (steps, hoverboards, etc.) tot 25 km/h en brommers tot 25 km/h aan 50cc te besturen zonder rijbewijs :D
Voor voertuigen tot 45 km/h heb je rijbewijs AM nodig en is een helm verplicht...
Goeie review trouwens ;-)
w0tttttt ik moet een rijbewijs hebben voor n scooter
Volgens mij is het illegaal in België omdat het niet valt onder 'elektrische' fiets die intussen wel regels kent. Een gemotoriseerd voertuig (zonder verplichte pedaalsturing) moet je 'inschrijven' voor een nummerplaat, verzekering, helm, knipperlichten... Daartegenover staat dat er nog niet genoeg van deze nieuwe dingen op straat zijn en dat het dus niet veel zin heeft om er nieuwe regels voor te maken.
Persoonlijk vind ik dat we elektrische voertuigen moeten promoten door bvb. geen regels op te leggen voor alles wat elektrisch is en de onder 25km/u zit. Het is immers al het geval voor de elektrische fietsen. Op die manier zullen meer mensen er voor kiezen en blijft het veilig genoeg. (Immers voor hoofdletsels is een auto gevaarlijker en daar is toch ook geen helm verplicht tenzij misschien op circuit)
Moet nog steeds een vezekeringsplaatje op tho
De limiet is 18 km/u voor "voortbewegingstoestellen". Die worden dan gelijkgesteld met een fiets of een voetganger naargelang hoe snel je gaat. Dus moest xiaomi die step begrenzen kan het wel
I am seriously considering this. I have a Dahon folding bike, but it does take a few minutes to fold up or to restore to a riding state and is heavy to carry around. You invariably arrive at your destination covered in perspiration and that is the greatest problem with cycling. As with cycling, it will be highly advisable to wear a helmet.
Cool om zien dat een Belgische TH-camr zo'n mooi aantal views haalt voor een tech review!
Looks good
I just have one question, where do you put the scooter when you arrive at your location (like school)?
In ur class lol
In my case, i keep it near my desk at the office. At school it be difficult since you need to charge the scooter, and also travel from class to class.
Like at work for example if we have an event after work, i just leave it at my desk, can't drag the scooter around to a bar, etc.
At our school we are not allowed to take them to school
My school has a parking
@@toonypubg-mobileandcodm5510 nice
@UnicornReviews I got one of these for birthday and my car is also a miata. What a coincidence!
I have owned 4 e-scooters. They are really useful for short distance commuting(usually around 10km trip) whereby getting onto a public transport is less convenient.
Regarding the maintenance issue, all tools require some sort of tuning and maintenance. IF you buy a car, you need to regularly check its performance, the same goes for e-scooters, but they are far less complicated. Some oiling and checking for loose bolts are required if you plan to use them for a long time. A very worthy investment.
I tried to commute to work with a normal Scooter, but that is really too exhausting...
buy a longboard/pennyboard nickel way less exhausting i go to school whit my pennyboard nickel and thats 10km
Yeah i did that for a year or so in edinburgh, steep hills ect, it was very tiring but a good work out! Then I got an electric scooter, which cut my time down from 45 mins to about 25 so that was good
I think I'm the only one that said "OH SHIT A MIATA" at the beggining
zalig eindelijk reviews vanuit belgie (aalst )!!!
Great review! Are you going to do a video on the maintenance stuff you mentioned? 😊
ah, Belgium and its regulations ...
by the way, we are probably train-mates :D
I do Mechelen and Ghent.
What about punctured tires? Heard a lot about those. Any problems so far with the tires?
None for me yet. Fingers crossed
i had, you can prevent it by slime, bigger hit is cut the tube easily, of course, you can fix it by bicycle repair kit
I can recomend you solid tires th-cam.com/video/sRNEt1BllYE/w-d-xo.html
solid = increased vibration not good for cell pack welds
That scooter looks light and the tire is small and looks durable. I think it wont get flat tires. It just depends on how you use it.
Thanks for the video! Regards from Peru (:
Great review thanks!
When you speak about Max weight for tires at 4 bars, about 75, are you sure that's for the entire Scooter or just for one wheel only? If only 1 wheel it means that's more about a150kg for the total? Isn't it?
Thanks
Everybody: Can I ride ur scooter?
unicorn: No, it could be illegal
Everybody: nO ItS IlLEgAL
How well does it handle tram tracks?
I thought I recognized that city ;) nice review!
Great review, I likey!
There is also a Xiaomi ebike its called qicycle. Can you do a review on that one please?
245 seems to be an awesome price, can't find it for under 400.
You're looking at the adults model, the one he has is a child model.
@@mal3k_xd thx!
Anywhere you look it depends on the season, cheapest to buy any of those is between December and March, the highest demand for them is from May to September.
Great review, thanks!
Great review - thanks
Thanks for using metric units
miata and a xiaomi m365 you know what youre doing mate !!! geen douane belastingen ?
A Miata is a girl's car.
Are you telling me I could have skipped hairdressersschool and gone for a boobjob instead?
No taxes this time :)
Great review! I made my decision thanks to your video.
"You almost want to go to work just to ride the scooter" My favorite line of yours coz' you got me there, hahaha!. I'm riding my new Mi 1s for 3 days now and it's really fun riding it to work. My only nightmare would be the flat tire if ever happened. That's why I will order 2 solid tires now just in case I would not wait longer for the tires to come.
Hi, we're a few months later now. Still didn't had any issues with the police?
None whatsoever
People in Spain use these to get around on the pavement and everywhere. In the UK they are illegal on the streets. Annoying as they cut traffic and pollution.
@@joshb7415 - I guess, but people do not use them as the cops can fine you £75 and even arrest you. They can also take you to court and put points on your actual car license which you can then lose or at least have your insurance go way up. I live in Edinburgh and the pavements are very poor here as the city is very old andl has a Medfeival layout so you'd be getting on and off every few seconds to get past obstacles. Not to mention that Scots are pretty aggressive one might take the law into their hands if they see you on the pavement with these. Bikes are better.
@@AnyoneCanSee Yes here too about the driver's license, most of these people are too dumb to care...
I Love your open. explanations, and "Thank you for the fair price range (most never mention -- which can break a dream). Can you produce ASSEMBLY OF. I did buy one* similar price range, came inside of only 2 days. "Extending the handles were not enclosed in the instructions. Anything is easy ... WHEN you are taught 'HOW'. Thank you so much* again, from: CANADA.
Hell yeah, I’ve had mine for almost 2 years, had to change the front panel due to water damage and upgrade the tires to solid but it’s done over 1500 kilometres so far and I’ve used it almost everyday since buying it. Everyone should own one ☝️ no carbon footprint and it’s better than a car in that you can ride it on the sidewalk between people and places a car can’t go.
Seza Belle Wow that’s insane almost two years the one I had barely lasted four months. 😅 Any advice on how to change the front tires.
Very good
Ziet er leuk uit.
Nico Smets inderdaad maar hij zegt dat ie maar 10km mee kan en dat is vanaf hier naar de supermarkt en terug
30km volgens Xiaomi
er zijn 2 modellen m365 zal inderdaad wat verder geraken (dubbel?)
I look forward to cycling my folding bike to work each day. I get some exercise and it fits in my car no problem. This scooter just won't be as much fun for me plus zero exercise. And you have to charge the thing up all the time.
Not all countries in Europa have same regulations.
I had both, scooter from video and brompton folding bike - sold the scooter, kept bike. Excercise and no need to charge won it for me
Sure its illegal but will the police care? I took a ride on my skateboard in the city yesterday and went on a 30km/h street, past a police car and waved. Two happy police officers waved back to me and pat their heads and gave me a thumbs up. (I always wear a helmet on that thing). Was probably going close to 40km/h.
Grandma bikes faster than the M365'stop speed so the rules are just messed up right now.
How about a foldable electric bike?? Checkmate!
See your point, would love an electric bike, but due to knee injuries, these type of scooters actually allow me to have a cheaper alternative to a car, still offering some exercise through its use. Pedaling action of a bike makes knee painful, standing on scooter does not.
Thx a lot u explained everything I need to know
Really liked the review, 0 bullshit, to the point. Subscribed. Also cool product.
How heavy can u be to ride this
It needs some way of using a bike lock, I would get looks if I tried taking it into shops where I live.
You can put a Kryptonite U-lock through the rear wheel or around the tube above the front wheel. Should be enough for some quick shopping.
Goeie review en een interessant vervoersmiddel. Alleen ziet het er zo vreemd uit om een volwassen man op een step te zien. Ik denk dat ik dan liever een monowheel zo gebruiken..
I have rode this in paris there are many which is good for commute i hope 🤞 they bring it to uk as well to have less congestion on london roads
The real trouble with those things is as you say that the legal situation is complicated. I dont know about Belgium, but in Germany for instance they are not legal at all to my knowledge. In Switzerland they are legal and dont require a number plate (unlike for instance a segway which requires a number plate), but only on the street (or bycicle lane I thing) but deifnitely not on the pavement, and in Austria the situation is almost the same (if they support only up to 25 km per hour). I would like to use such a thing when I travel, but its hard to find out where you are allowed to use it and so on....
I believe in Germany they would be legal with a top speed of 18km/hr
arnoldhau1 fuck Europe and their archaic laws. As an American I can ride whatever the hell I want wherever I want and whenever I want. No government laws about scooters lol.
They are in fact legalizing them in Germany next year. They didn't ban them, the problem is the current law was written without the concept of these scooters in mind, so the law fell back on classifying them as "heavier" scooters that require a proper permit etc.
I germany u could drive it. It felt in the e boke category ? Or not ?
@@palava8500 No, it's not seen as a bike because you can accelerate without pedaling on your own.
Now I really need one.
Oh this comment explains your scooter video now. Your video influenced me to get one by the way
Zeer goede video, ik ben ook van Belgie en ben al een tijdje geïnteresseerd in de xiaomi scooter maar heb je geen problemen gehad met douanekosten. Dit is wat mij momenteel tegenhoud.
Ik heb zelf geen douane problemen gehad, als je zeker wil zijn mag je die van mij overkopen. heb hem zelf niet meer nodig. Hij staat op 2ehands met dezelfde foto als deze thumbnail
bedankt voor het antwoord, ik de range van de gewone versie wel nodig, ik zou hem niet zo vaak kunnen opladen.
Thank you! Im looking to get one! I like the- you almost look forward to getting to work just to ride it!🤣
