    Ok, So I think i can add some things Adam don't mention about: First: for me, Airwhelll application is awful. No only its resets all settings each time you turn off app/scooter, but also cannot be used as speedometer, because... it's not blocking screen from turn off after a while :D. In the app, there is "secret" 16-th gear (hidden under settings menu). When turned on, it display message with warning about high speed and so on and then... allow you to go about 2-3km/h faster XD. And of course this setting is cancel when scooter is turned off and back on.
    Second thing is about foldability (such word exist? XD) - sure it can be fold pretty well, but also each hinge should be greased, and while folded all the hinges are exposed, so it's REALLY easy to get dirty. Right Adam? ;)
    And about replaceable battery - this is nic,e but only place to get second one is official Airwhell shop (or it was the only place when i last checked). And it cost around 900 PLN (225USD)

      This was my first scooter. I locked it on staircase and took only battery home to charge. But I needed to charge it at home and at work, each time. Now I charge M365 Pro every two days, so 4 times better mileage.

    I just bought Xiaomi Scooter Pro 2 after using Airwheel Z5 for around 1.5 years.
    The definitive upside of Z5 is that it is really *very compact* and *folds just beautifully* - mostly due to foldable handles. This allows you to take the scooter virtually everywhere, to the shop, to the bus, to the train - and noone complains, because it takes really minimum space.
    Secondly, it is *extremely easy to maintain*. I had a flat tire only once and *only because I didn't care to check the air pressure periodicaly* (tire stripped inside and pierced the tube eventually). Replacing front tire is just sooo easy. You unscrew axis, then unscrew the rim: it is composed from two pieces, so replacing tire and tube takes literally seconds. Then screw everything back and you're good to go. With proper tools you probably could do that on the go.
    And rear wheel is solid rubber, so there's nothing to replace.
    Thirdly, the way you stand on the scooter is *very comfortable*. The pads lets you stand straight and really firmly.
    The scooter itself is also water-resistant (not: water-proof), so occasional rain or puddle won't break it.
    There are some downsides too. After time some *screws loosens* and you have to screw up the handle with bell, the steering column, and the paddles. That's not too problematic, but still you have to take care about it.
    *Airwheel application is clumsy* and *simply doesn't work on modern Androids*. I'm running it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - otherwise I just couldn't use it. Also, it is really annoying, that you cannot setup the scooter itself (let it be even a switch, knob, handle, whatever) - you have to use the app to change speed setting. Effectively I set it to top speed and never used again.
    Range is not too impressive. 10km is really a good estimation - after going exactly 10.2km from home to work, battery LED already blinked and application warned about dangerously low battery voltage.
    Therotetically there's a front suspension, but I can't actually tell how good it is. When I was driving on bricked walkways, my teeth always rattled, I had to bend knees a little to stop feeling the vibrations. Also, back wheel is not suspended at all, so this may defeat the gains from front suspension.
    The battery status indicator is *somewhat useful*, but gives you only rough estimation on the battery life.
    *Position of the light is kind of awkward* and indeed it is mounted on the aluminium plate, which flexes a little. It's no surprise, that someone lost it. And moreover, it is powered from the battery itself via regular USB cable. The vibrations from driving on uneven ground caused the port in the battery to be loosened (though it was repaired on a guarantee). Airwheel says, that you may power up your phone from the battery and you can - but only when you're not driving. Voltage drop is so high, that phone stops being charged (you may possibly even damage your battery from constant voltage jumps).
    *Top speed does not impress*. It oscilates around 17-18 km/h, could be a little bit faster. But really a little bit, like 20 km/h. This is not a stunt scooter.
    The scooter is also pricey, currently running at around 2200 PLN (approx. 500 USD). I bought Xiaomi Scooter Pro 2 for 2300 PLN, so difference is negligible. I would give 1500 PLN tops for Z5 now - competition went far ahead and price-to-value ratio is no longer in favor of this vehicle.
    Another downside is that suspension is very low - I had to drag the scooter over speed-bumps to avoid scratching the scooter. The stand is placed even lower, so it is scratched even more.
    In the end however I'm quite satisfied with my 1.5 year of usage of that scooter. When I was working in my previous workplace, I drove to the train station (2km) and later to the work (~100m) and back. For that it was just perfect. Now I can't use trains (and frankly even don't want to) and the range of 10 km is jus too big for this small scooter. That said, if its range was better, I'd probably just keep using it. Unfortunately in my case it was a deal breaker.
    By the way, I have Z5 Strong, which have bigger-sized battery. If the downsides doesn't scare you, I generally recommend this scooter, but just don't even think about buying the regular one, you'll probably do 5km max on it...

    Wydaje mi się że jedyne co jest dobre to replace battery. Ale pytanie jak producent do tego podchodzi. Czy na baterie daje ci pół roku gwarancji czy masz gwarancji tyle co hulajnoga? Bo to by było fajne i jakby szybciej jeździło to można by tym pizze rozwozić. Jedziesz rozwozisz jedną, wracasz zmieniasz baterie i lecisz z drugą :D :) ;)
