It’s going to be pennies. Your scooter is almost certainly not to blame.
And if you need to prove it, buy this: P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RGF29Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kIRzFbMYWFSCZ
I like m365 Tools, it can graph the power, speed and other metrics.

So I watched this video and it inspired me to do the same: https://youtu.be/qsABfX7-63o
Except i used a different way of connecting the new handlebar to the old one.
Funny story: I ordered the same pieces on the video from wish and paid extra for fast shipping. Tracking update says shipping label was printed the next day and nothing since. I had since ended up finding a better piece to use. Ordered it, installed it and shipping updates still hasn't changed. 🤷♂️
So I ended up finding this piece instead: SALUTUYA Folding Bike Double Stem, Aluminium Alloy Lower Temperature Adjustable Professional Bicycle Double Stem, for Bicycle Parts Accessory https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YRVGVR6/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_glt_fabc_4BCFA8D8S5QCPYYGBF4V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Had to use a bike seatpost shim. Cut it down to fit and the handlebars was securely connected.
I recommend using their application, it´s excellent for nearly everything and the discord-community is more than happy to help you.

I haven't use slime on a scooter before, however after getting my last flat last week I decided to buy these solid-tyres https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Perfectly-Compatible-Replacement-Accessories-Absorption/dp/B08HRQTRDG/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=m365+vollgummireifen&qid=1628083068&sr=8-13 They've worked great so far, I however can't say if the ride is a lot worse without a shock absorber. If you have a suspension mounted it rides very good, you however can notice that you have a bit less grip when it rains. Definitely worth not getting a flat though. If you try to mount them make sure you use soapy water, as it really helps out a lot.
Edit: Spelling
Not sure about how to do the throttle, or how easy it is to readjust. There's probably someone doing disassembly on youtube or something.
I don't have extenders myself. Opted for lockable grips with a solid core, so they are rigid enough on their own. It has worked well, except for that one time the scooter fell down and pushed the grip in. I shortened and bulked up a pair of plugs so they fit in the ends of the grips, as well. At present I've switched them out for winglights.
My wife is running a similar setup with lockable foam grips. It's the same deal there. They also have a solid plastic pipe at the center, and she opted to glue her plugs in.
edit: I use these, but the all-black version:
I can’t comment on the difficulties of changing the tire or fixing a puncture as I’ve not had to do that (yet). But my advice would be to call Halfords in advance and check there will be someone that can do all this stuff on the day and then ask for a ball-park price so you know. I’d also consider looking into filling your tires with Slime. Here’s the link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000W45GGW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_TrM.EbQZMZT87 There’s a heap of video online showing how to do it and why. I think it basically prevents you having to fix punctures in the future. In any case, I’ve read lots about how difficult it is to mess with the 365’s tires. I’ve been keen to get the larger tires and fit these but it looks very messy and complicated. I mean, I’ve built my own PC, flash loaded OSX onto an old micro laptop, switched out ram on an early MacbookPro, had a tattoo, even skydived... ...but the thought of messing with an M365 tyre? Hell no. ;) HTH
For the record: m365 dashboard does work with 1.5.4.
Others, like m365 tools or m365 downg, however don't (yet, hopefully, they were last updates few months ago, while m365 dashboard just few days ago). Personally I wouldn't recommend upgrading for this reason. Not until m365 downg supports downgrading from 1.5.4.
I made this mistake and upgraded to 1.5.4. Maybe it's just me, but the scooter does seem a bit more sluggish on it, and inability to load custom firmware certainly does hurt.

on my 90km/h Xiaomi Mi Scooter Pro 2. I would say, they are pretty good.
I had to replace my front wheel bearing on my OG M365 due to noise an had a similar experience, it sounded and rode more smoothly than it ever had. The bearings they come with are okay but kinda cheap Chinese ones. For anyone US this is what I used, high quality ones from Taiwan.
The tricky part is you should really try and press in bearings so they're even, even a bit off or a bit of damage from hammering in will cause some wobble and very quick wear. I was lucky to have access to a hydraulic press but if you don't there's a makeshift method.
Is it this:
?
Just want to buy something that is tried and I know it will work.
Slime is a liquid that you put into the tube that seals small holes, it's a neat idea that seems to work pretty well, but if the hole is too big you'll just have a mess on your hands, on top of the flat. What I'm talking about is a layer of strong plastic that you place between the tire and the tube, preventing the puncture from happening in the first place. Here's one brand and they come in all shapes and sizes.
Don't update the scooter, it will only give you grief. As for flashing custom firmware, there is an inherent risk, but if you do your research and think it through first, it's very small. I've flashed both my rides lots of times with only minor issues. I can't stand the default behavior, such as 5 km/h to start and 5 seconds to activate cruise control, regenerative braking, the obnoxious beeping, etc, that just drives me mad. Adjusting top speeds and torque is nice a bonus though.

I wouldn't use the extender at all, it's garbage. I've actually found the best thing are inflate through valves which only let air in but not out and when you unscrew they let out little to no air. You can even just leave it on the rear.

I got the stupid 152mm 10x2's from banggood and it doesn't really seem to center on the rim properly so I can't really recommend anything 152mm and below so far unless there's some beautiful scooter god or goddess out there willing to help me and everyone who made the same mistake.
There's no way to connect to it directly and you'd need special hardware to read information from the BMS, which would be overkill. What you need is a simple voltmeter, so you can always see the charge level. You can find cheap ones on Amazon. Make sure it can be powered by the battery you're reading, not by a separate battery.
Something like this would work, I'd go for one with a power button though.
I'm using XuanCheng 10 inch tires. You can find them on Amazon or aliexpress. No issues so far.
This is what they look like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scooter-ACCEDE-Explosion-Proof-Replacement-Electric/dp/B093V49QXG/
I had a similar issue! The dashboard gets corroded extremely easily exposed to rain because the power button channels water straight into the buttons. Pretty easy to pop out and check it. I was told it's not /impossible/ for other electronics inside to get wet but everything was fine on mine.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V1QRDNT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I ordered this one, I had the M365 standard ~2018 (not pro) and it was basically plug in, turn on, flash firmware and good to go.
Download XiaoFlasher and buy the premium version
It's a one time payment and lets you adjust all kind of values, it's well worth it.

The Xlock definitly stops the creak but is quite bulky and ugly IMO. If you don't mind the appearance it'd work for you. Also it will interfer with the monorim front suspension unless you get a pole extender if you were considering that as an upgrade.
If you don't need the folding mechanism you can also buy a straight clamp replacement for it like this; https://www.amazon.co.uk/FreeLeben-Scooter-Electric-High-density-Accessory/dp/B08HQ72F4R/?_encoding=UTF8&pf_rd_p=fb8a54aa-facb-4172-81a1-6f8213dd0064&pd_rd_wg=k29qu&pf_rd_r=W1E6PVX9E7ZP8JBVHBCC&pd_rd_w=xFe8W&pd_rd_r=a75ea9ae-6f...
Step 1: Memorize the serial.
Step 2: When checking the suspect scooter, tell seller you're checking manufacturing date and number fuses with m365 Tools to making sure it's the correct model you want. Don't say first which model you want.
Step 3a: If serial does not match, tell it's the wrong model, unfortunately. Excuse for trouble caused and depart.
Step 3b: Serial matches. You tell seller you will buy it at the price asked, but you can only get money few days later. If seller agrees to that, you thank and depart... and head directly to police...
I got you Ourleeme Mi Scooter Tires, Electric Scooter Tire Honeycomb Design,8.5In Rubber Solid Tire Front/Rear Tire,Replacement Wheels for Scooter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QLSCMJT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_dcd3bLQCi6ILZ
The ones I got are these ones, my decision was based on price and the tools the came with to DIY. If there’s any difference between these and the myriad of other identical tires for sale, I can’t find it, they even use the same marketing materials.
I use these. You do not need to let go to use. Just slide your hand along the bar and press the button on the end of the light.

Yes, you know what BMS is, but thats the only thing you dont need to touch.
BLE is the bluetooth/ dashboard and DRV is the actual firmware that is responsible for scooter power and such.
(you have classic m365, right?)
Video instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAzCB9Dzt5g
Get DownG
Get BLE072
Get DRV of your choosing (1.3.8 is the default for these things). You can also create custom firmware with increased power in the scooterhacking link.
Open DownG, connect to scooter, press "check version" -> open bin -> select BLE072 -> flash.
Do step 4, but select your DRV.
I feel like the extender mine came with was faulty - at the slightest angle it would leak all the air out. I fixed it by wrapping the spinning collar together with the rubber with teflon tape and then duct tape (saw the suggestion on this subreddit). Now I have to unscrew the entire extender to disconnect it, but I barely lose any air in the process.
I also bought a <strong>straight metal extender</strong> that works like a charm. I'm sure most of the ones on amazon would work.
You cant really know what firmware settings you have on them checking the firmware number gives 0 information on the settings inside. But you can connect your phone with app like m365 tools and see what speed you get when the wheel is in the air (with full battery).
Error 15 is brake lever sensor error. The brake should be released when turning it on.
I suppose the easiest way to flash back to stock (and to the latest version) would be to use the official xiaomi app, it will update and overwrite everything. But if you do that, you might not be able to install custom firmwares in the future, if you ever choose to do so, because the latest official versions are harder to hack.
The "hack" method would be to go to botox website, not change anything, scroll down and press "patch" - that will download you a .zip file. Then use DownG app - connect, check version, select the .zip file, flash.
HEY MAN STOP don´t use the Mi Home app. (Unless you have a MI ecosystem in your house)
I recommend the app m365tools for connecting with the scooter: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.peretti.m365tools
I wouldn't. You might end up upgrading the firmware and losing your custom one. Plus, there is no need to. There are a bunch of more useful 3rd party apps for doing what you would with the official one. My go-to app is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=adriandp.m365dashboard&hl=en
Head here and create a custom firmware with your desired settings: https://hackm365.com/
Transfer the zip file to your android phone or tablet. If you created the zip file on your phone/tablet, you can skip this step
Install M365 downG on phone or tablet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m365downgrade
Follow the steps on m365 downG. If I remember correctly it is Connect -> Check Version -> Open File (use the firmware zip you created) -> Flash bin
Download m365 Tools on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.peretti.m365tools&hl=en_US.
I rode stock firmware for a while using only this app, which works fine. I never installed the MiHome app.
I came across this video, which is probably the best visual tutorial on how to flash safely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlhz8XJFMYg
With XiaoFlasher as I did all 3 FW modules.
Before flashing I had BLE 091 (encoded), BMS 126 and DRV 151. Now I have BLE 072, BMS 115 and DRV 138.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eScooter.m365Info&hl=en&showAllReviews=true
Worked for me, was able to downgarde the BLE first, then the firmware
All the presets are built into the app
I'm using a pair.
The all-black version, 22.2mm inner diameter version of these, iirc: https://www.amazon.com/PRO-Ergonomic-Density-Mountain-Bicycle/dp/B07CQ7DPDY
They have a core made up of a rigid plastic pipe, with a more flexible material around it.
There are stls for 3D-printed bar extenders you can use to print your own, or you can buy something like the ones in this kit:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/283967300091
The grips I use came with a solid core, as stated, and are strong enough to not need an extension inside of them, once locked it. I had to wrap the plugs in vulcanizing rubber tape, to bulk them up so they fit, though.
Mine aren't too tight, and were super easy to fit. But aren't especially loose either.
edit: Sometimes, using dish soap or wd40 helps when fitting tight grips (gets sticky when it dries), or sometimes air from a compressor, but if yours have a solid core, it won't help a whole lot - wd40/soap/air works best for grips that are a bit flexible, and if it's hard plastic, it may crack if it needs to expand a lot.
If they instead feel way too loose, maybe using silicone inside may help, but it may get messy, and it may be a hassle removing them later if you go that route. I suppose you could try a thin layer of tape around the bars as well, but I've got no idea how well that'd work.
I bought an over the shoulder strap that you can hook on to two ends of your scooter anywhere you want, here is a link to Amazon.com for you to visualize what I'm talking https://www.amazon.com/SPEDWHEL-Skateboard-Carrying-Shoulder-Accessories/dp/B07KZT72LL You still need that fragile little hook though as a way to keep the whole scooter sturdy when carrying it, so I used some gorilla Glue to really stick that thing in.
I used acetone to remove it, I bought it from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y5HNK4K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Definitely noticed this about Amazon parts. I'm not sure I need to go to the lengths of this blogger. I'm currently riding with what's effectively a half screw that's still tethered to the O-ring and some duct tape to keep the snapped off part of the screw in place. For what it's worth, I took a gamble on this item: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WJZPXL2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Try holding down the power button for more than secs. Try it while the scooter is on. If it doesn't turn on, you can also try it while it's off. There is a slight chance it will fix itself but if not, download this app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m365downgrade
Try installing the CFW_W (it's called something like that) into your scooter and it might fix it.
