Introduction
Xiaomi Electric Scooter Essential (also known as M365 Essential) is one of the 2020 Xiaomi Electric Scooter models that got released among with the 1S and PRO2. The new M365 models included a improved battery, better KERS, a rear fender bracket and a speedometer display.

As its predecessors, the Essential contains all of the functions as a normal Xiaomi Electric Scooter. This includes the same KERS braking, same power output, same weight and same tires. Although released among with the other Xiaomi scooters, this is by far the cheapest one. The Essential has the lowest range and lowest top-speed (restricted) out of all models, even the old Xiaomi M365 outclasses the essential model. The Xiaomi company intended to create this for people who wanted to travel short without having to spend money for transport.

TrongsUniverse rating
The Xiaomi Scooter is rated as a Tier D, being one of the worst electric scooters due to its small battery capacity - running at max 20km in battery range. The weight is on par with the Xiaomi M365 and 1S. Customizing it with a battery upgrade and much more will make it reach max Tier A.

Specifications / Internal
The Essential is the lowest-budget electric scooter out of all M365 models. This includes some downgraded functions.

As mentioned earlier, the Essential has a lower battery capacity compared to a 1S or M365. The battery is a 10S2P running at 36V with 250 watt (peak 500).

However, it has something that the old Xiaomi M365 scooters does not include: a display which shows speed and battery capacity (similar to the old PRO model).

Even comparing this to the Segway ES series, these scooters outrank the essential with higher power output and overall range.
