Released in December 2016, it debuted three months before the dockless rental scooter operator Bird commenced service.

The battery is connected to the charge port, controller and rear light.

[8][9] Some units in select markets were recalled due to a screw in the folding mechanism that became loose; this could cause the stem to break off while in use.

[10][11] The successor, called the M365 Pro, has refined the original M365 by including a colour graphical display, an increased range of 45 km (28 miles), as well as more power from the electric motor, at 300W (peak 600W).

Safety improvements have also been made, including a larger disk for the rear brake.
