Hi I been watching your videos, they have been very helpful.
I have brought 2 X m365 scooters for my sons and want to do the suspension, and the lock the red part
Where can I purchase these please
Many thanks Michael Mcdonagh
You can get them here Michael bit.ly/348yRTU
Yo does this and all the other products (like the suspension for the m365 pro) fit on Aovo products like the 365pro
They should but I would ask in a FB group first for that model 🛴
We love the hip hop music
The X lock is definitely worth it
100%
My Monorim X lock just arrived and its perfect 101%
Brilliant!! 🛴
Great video, installed my xlock yesterday through your tutorial, very robust and makes the steering pole very solid
That’s great to hear! It’s definitely a must have! 🛴
Can’t wait to add this to mine, another excellent video 👌
Thanks for the support Clare!! Yeah it’s a great addition for safety 🛴
You should open a repair shop and upgrade plenty of customers thanks for all the handy tips
Thanks for the support Aiden ⚡️
@@Movelectrics where are you based yourself mate
Knew u would get this.
You know me well Freddy!! 🛴
Been running the xaiogen firmware foe the last 3 days. its unbelieve compared to the gronka cfw that I've had for the past year on my pro. Such a great improvement.
Thanks for sharing Jay!! Keep the brakes adjusted! 🛴
Anytime bud. You should check out the m365 dash v2 it looks interesting little mod.
www.m365dash.com/product/m365dash/
Yeah I saw that! Looks sweet
I've been using XiaoGen from the first day on also, I have made many presets.
I can give you my current one, it's balanced with lots of torque and good range with higher speed up to 34km/h.
Wanna try? I can add it as a Drive folder if you would like to test it out on your Pro.
Forgot to say I weigh about 90kgs and get a range of 36km in sport at 32km/h minimum speed at moderate wind.
10° C weather, perfect preset imo.
Hi, thanks for the video. What is the main porpuse of the extender?
Hi Nuno. The extender is needed if you intend to fold the scooter. If you don’t have it, you cannot fold it 🛴
My God I'm about to go insane cause of the amount of latch pins I have broken in the past few months!!
I bought a different version of this that locks the whole stem with no locking mechanism at all! No more folding but It's better than dealing with a broken pin every ride...
The idea is to adjust correctly and never pull or lean on the handle bars.
The X-lock is brilliant to strengthen the whole stem.
Ride safe 🛴
Monorim build a Handle bar stem replacement kit - it may be an easier solution to this problem - wont look as nice, but would be definitely be worth considering
Yeah it looks decent alright but at the time, they were not available from what I can remember. The X-lock is pretty cool though! 🛴
Cane I have link from where I can bay

Hey man me again.. Haha I'm following your recommendations.. So my question dude, do you need the extender if you do not have the front shock ? will I be OK just to buy the x-lock on it's own .. will it still fold and clamp to the mud guard ? I have a wall mount at home so I have to fold so I can put on wall.. Maybe if I upgrade the shock later down the line, if the extender is needed i'll get it.. or if it's needed from the offset i'll order that too.. I think this is the way to go because like I said, I did adjust the stem, mm by mm ever so slightly and I cannot simply find that sweet spot my man.. driving me nuts..
I had the suspension before the X-lock but you should not need the extension if you don’t have the suspension. If you end up getting suspension and the extension, it folds fine and still clips on the mudguard.
Also best thing about suspension is it takes pressure off the stem. This combined with the X-lock is the way to go.
Suspension is the best purchase I made for my Xiaomi.
Cool! Just add one more white rubber thing in a middle (take it from spare 'buckle'). Should be two in total in a middle, otherwise bracket might start cracking.
Great tip man!! 🛴
This is the one I got: a.aliexpress.com/_mLqXdbB
What is the grade stem of m365 pro? B+?
I’d give it a C at best.
Hi this is a great video. How do you get the main wheel not to spin loosely to the left and right due to the extender? It seems looser now since there's no screw to block the spinning of the stem. Sorry if this is a bit confusing.
Hi Kenneth! Glad the video helped. The extender should not make a difference. If the stem is too loose, the middle screw need to be tightened. Make sure you used the long bolt you got with the extender ⚡️
@@Movelectrics thank you I'll look into it. It's my son's scooter and I want to make sure it's safe to use. I ended up taking off the gs01 extender and kept the xlock on. Thanks again! Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I’ve finally got round to adding this to my M365 Pro, really clear instructions from your video helped me fit it in 15mins 👍
That’s great Clare. It would definitely be a must upgrade for added support. Well done for fitting it!
Hello mate great video,I've had to order the xlock because I had a naughty accident last week ,my stem pole had broken off at the base after fitting the front suspension from monorim. ( I'm ok lucky enough) .does this actually take much stress off of the stem ?
Thank god you are ok now! Yeah, definitely takes stress off the front. Just don’t be jumping off anything and avoid pulling/pushing on the stem 🛴
06:41 you have the bracket with the built in washer on the left meaning the circle ⭕️ indentations will now be face up, turn it over you will see a smooth surface. I doubt it matters👍
I correct this at 8:30 and mention it in the video (because of the motor cable) ⚡️
@@Movelectrics Good idea putting the original catch back on 👍 I copied your method.
@@Movelectrics You instaled bottom part in oposite way, one half has little cutoff for screw, this part shoul be on the left side
Is that pink or red Because it don't look as red as the suspension And the spacer
Hi! 2 slightly different shades ⚡️
@@Movelectrics Is that mean it's not red Is the black black
The reds are a tiny bit different in shade ⚡️
Hey man do you need the extender if you have the rear suspension installed ?
I never had the rear suspension but I don’t think you need the extended. It may just about reach.
Extender is great for more height and also useful if you have the X-lock so you can fold the scooter.
@@Movelectrics I should have explained better my man. I have both the front and rear Monorim suspension installed and my stem no matter what creaks.. so I have ordered the xlock today but I'm not sure if I'll need the extender... The xlock looks easy enough to install and it does look like it's going to reenforce that stem quite a bit so it won't squeak or creak as it'll be solid.. Just hope I can fold the bloody thing without the extender...
@@MeTaMaNvR it’s important you watch the video linked below before installing the X-lock czcams.com/video/oNaeWiTtNJE/video.html
I don't see the usage of the Xlock on the video, how to fold and unfold the scooter... or did I miss something?
As I explain. The Xiaomi scooters suffer from stem creaking and if you don’t maintain correctly, can cause wobble.
X-lock basically hugs the latch and firms up everything. Never once had an issue. Cheap and easy to install.
Regards to folding, if you get the X-lock, you’ll need to install the extension that I installed in this video. Otherwise, the X-lock can’t slide up and down for folding.
@@Movelectrics Thanx, you are right, I installed that extension too, but what I miss, the process, how do you open and close the scooter… so I would like to see the way of folding, how do you handle the X-lock? Can it be done by 1 hand or always 2 hands are needed…?
I have exactly the same set up, but i get a wobble i the handlebar, i ve taken everything down, redone it again, still have a wobble, i ve been riding it like that for about a year and a half, and its fine, just super annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi! A wobble? Do you have also the extender and suspension?
Did you adjust the folding mechanism correctly? Check out this video I done czcams.com/video/oNaeWiTtNJE/video.html
@@Movelectrics just redone everything one more time, all good now, i must of done two horizontal bolts on monorim suspension to tide before I tightened handlebar bolt.
Anyway appreciate for tour help
@@frollk no worries! Always check that middle bolt also. If that’s loose, the steering will be very loose and cause wobbles on the stem 🤛🏻
X lock must have extender?
No but if you don’t have extender you cannot fold it.
I really wish they'd come out with just sturdier stem joints, rather than us having to fit reinforcements. Oh well, maybe one day in the future! The escooter industry is still young.
Hi Jin! I 100% agree and things will get better as time goes on I’m sure 🛴
Upgrade the speed
I did a video before and after CFW was installed ⚡️
@@Movelectrics What do you think of the ones on eBay Suspension Selling for less
Monorim is the way to go 100%
Can the stem still be attached to the exact location of the hook in the rear fender when the extender is installed?
Hi Jamie! Yes it hooks on still ⚡️
Hi mate would the x lock help my wobbly pole
Watch this video first. Then afterwards, buy the X-lock for added support czcams.com/video/oNaeWiTtNJE/video.html
Hello! I just to ask .should you buy them monrim extension for the handle bars before you put the monrim x lock or can you put the monrim x lock on the scooter without the extension
Hi
If you don’t have the extension, you cannot fold the scooter. What I did was fitted the extension, then the X-lock last.
If you don’t fold the scooter, there is no need for the extension.
some of these questions on here people are asking have already been answered, the rest like prices have been linked in the description below the video. I think some of you is just bored and want to chat lmao.
All i want to know is with all the video upgrades on m365 and pro i cant find any for Mi Essential which i've just bought specifically to mod up. Maybe i made the wrong investment?
Hi Rob. All modifications like suspension, X-lock, accessories, maintenance etc. apply for all Xiaomi models.
When it comes to custom firmware, battery upgrades, more speed for example, the original Xiaomi, Xiaomi Pro, Pro 2, Essential are different in minor ways because of the batteries and motors 🛴
My suggestion is to join a Xiaomi FB group to get more assistance and be more specific about what you would like to modify on your Essential model ⚡️
@@Movelectrics thankyou!
i dont see how it can fold🤔🤔🤔
Simply loosen the X-lock, raise the cuff, the. Fold as normal (if you do not have the extension like what I install in the video, you cannot fold the scooter with just the X-lock.
Good videos, pity the volume is too low .
Thanks Stuart for the feedback! I’m constantly trying to always improve the videos for everyone 🛴
@@Movelectrics no major problem but maybe have the music at a lower volume where in Ireland are you from loving the channel just got the mi1s
Does the regular X lock stop hinge squeak as well? I don’t want to add extra height. Cheers.
It ain’t that heavy.
If you have the creaking, adjust first (I done a video on that) then get the X-lock if you want. It will avoid all those issues like creaking, wobbling from happening.
A great investment!
@@Movelectrics yeah I saw the video for adjustment, I need to get a 10 mm spanner, I just got that creaking back again yesterday I been using WD40, it only started creaking again after I cleaned out the latch but I have been using the scooter almost daily for 6 months, I bought some dampeners to try as well. Cheers
@@Movelectrics I am talking about stem height being added not extra weight so if I get the regular X locker it will stop creak and no additional height added. Ta.
Do you need to buy the suspension for this
You don’t need the suspension but I would recommend it 100%. Definitely makes the scooter much smoother ⚡️
Okay thank you
Hi man, great video, but I have one question. Can it be lanche to the fender hook when folded? If your answer is YES, how did you do it?
Hi Jean. If you use the X-lock on its own, it can’t be folded. But as you can see in the video, I also installed the extender which allows the X-lock bracket to pop down allowing you to fold it 🛴
@@Movelectrics I installed the X-lock with the extender 2 days ago, but I didn't know thats not possible to lanch the fender hook anymore. Anyway, thanks for the information😉
Usually I do it when I go inside the supernarket or some store just to be more safe. I am waiting also to get some wheels to make a trolley wheels in my scooter, connecting with the monorim suspension . After your feedback I don't know if this idea gonna be right
Yeah it folds normal and hooks on perfect 🛴
I am sure I saw people with trolley wheels on their suspension. FB groups are very helpful, I recommend you join one Jean 🛴
I had the same issue with my m365 it kept on creaking, there is a simpler fix, find the part that is creaking and oil it, which is what I did it no longer creaks, and when it starts creaking again due to the oil being depleted I will oil it again.
I believe it's the a reverberation through the aluminium, the joints are painted or more likely powder coated.
I have used silicone which is brilliant. But adjustment is need as this area needs to be tight for safety reasons. If you have play, it can snap very easily ⚡️
@@Movelectrics I believe when they designed this scooter all the parts are strong enough to withstand quite a lot of pressure they are well made scooters.
When you start adding bits you introduce a whole new set of parameters to deal with untested parameters.
A drop of oil in the right location is much safer than fitting an after market part that probably hasn't gone through any stress testing.
It takes a little bit of investigating and trial and error to find the exact location of the creak, I oiled a few places before actually finding the exact spot where the creak was coming from, it was difficult to find the creak due to the reverberating sound, but the creak is annoying more than dangerous.
Once you hit the right spot it won't creak again for a long time, and if it does you at least know where to oil again, it's also worth taking a look to make sure nothing has come loose.
A simple drop of 3 in 1 oil will do the trick but if you want to get fancy use silicon oil, less messy.
@@flitsies they may stress test these but scooters need maintenance especially on the stem. I saw many Xiaomi scooters snapping in this area, folding and causing a collision. 100% oil ain’t gonna just fix this, adjusting correctly plus adding the X-lock can reinforce the area also ⚡️
@@Movelectrics Of course maintaining your scooter like any vehicle is important, but not sure I would agree an after market product is the right course of action.
A drop of oil and paying attention to the maintenance of your vehicle would probably do the trick.
A suspect many of those that snapped were probably abused scooters, rather than scooters used in the correct manner, I could be wrong as some people do a lot of mileage on their scooters.
@@flitsies most scooters have amazing after market parts that are brilliant for safety. The stem on the Xiaomi scooters can 100% be improved. AOVO scooters have a better built stem for example and the are much cheaper.
I am hoping the next range will address this long going issue. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though 🛴
So can I use the extender without x lock and wuthout shock absorber and can I clip the folding Pole in case?
Hi Simone. Yes, the extender can be used on its own if you want. If you are tall, it’s very useful 🛴
@@Movelectrics So using only this extender on M365 Standard Without X Lock and Without Shock Absorber can I clip the folding Pole?
Yep you can fold and clip as normal. It’s only an extender 🛴

Does it still lock and fit on the back hook ?
Yes Cliff. You just need to buy the extender i like I have in order to fold it with the X-lock ⚡️

Hi Arnold! As you can see, I also fitted the extender in this video. This makes it possible to fold the scooter.
I installed it the Same as you, do you notice any rubbing on the cable when turning the wheel to the right? The little black knob seems to rub... maybe I need to buy a wire protector

6:47 Did you install this upside down? are the "circles" supposed to be face down?
Hi Dave! What circles? Are you talking about the CE sticker? Never mind that.
This lock can only fit one way 🛴
@@Movelectrics take a close look, at the x lock, one side is a smooth surface, the other side has “circles” you can fit either way up.
How is this going after 10 months? Did the creaking return, or have you had to make more adjustments to the stem?
I have 150km on my Pro 2 and the creaking has already started. I have done the adjustment and its gone again, but for how long I wonder? I am thinking of installing this XLOCK when the scooter is near new. I don't have the suspension.
The roads are really bad on my commute so I think I will need to reinforce this thing!
Hi! I’ve not had issues since. Of course it’s always good to check everything regularly. Main thing is to not pull or push on the stem while riding. X-lock is very good for added support ⚡️
@@Movelectrics Thanks, I might try it then!
You can also apply a small bit of silicone spray between the stem (where both meet) not too much. Literally a tiny bit ⚡️
@@Movelectrics I applied some lithium grease but that didn't work. It was the wobbly stem causing the noise. I have ordered the xlock from monorim so hopefully that helps!
You will need to fix the stem first before you fit the X-lock. This video will walk you through czcams.com/video/oNaeWiTtNJE/video.html
What does the X Lock Really do besides Looking Great...Lol
It basically strengthens that whole are. It helps prevent the common creaking and gives more peace of mind while riding. If you want extra support, this is the upgrade to do.
If you have the creaking, adjust that first (video I done on that)
Then install the X-lock 🛴
