I forgot to cover accessories for the Xiaomi Mi M365! So many accessories!
Here’s the ones I tried on mine:
- rubber bumpers inside the folding hinge
- reflective stickers
- fender support bracket
- kickstand cover / bumper
- power switch / battery indicator cover
Of these, I like the reflective stickers and the fender support bracket the best. There’s a natural tendency for people to put their foot on the fender, or it gets bumped in transit, and the support works well to protect against that. It also fits very naturally in the design, makes you wonder why it’s not standard equipment.
If you live in a dry climate like me I don’t think the water resistant power switch / battery indicator cover is very useful. The kickstand bumper was mildly useful to make the kickstand a bit easier to nudge with your foot. I had zero issues with the hinge so I’m not sure why the bumpers inside the hinge matter?
I thought about solid rubber tires for best puncture resistance but they look very, very hard to install, add significant weight, and aren’t as comfortable of a ride. So I punted on that – but I did put in some Slime puncture sealant just in case! It works!
One thing the guy in the “one year later” video really liked was a fancy aftermarket cover for the bottom of the battery platform, but I didn’t see much point in cleaning the bottom?
