Guide: electric scooter folding mechanism – finding the right part
Sometimes the whole folding joint needs replacing; often a smaller part is enough. Locking here means the latch that holds the stem in place – anti-theft locks are under electric scooter locks. All other parts are in the spare parts portal. For advice on parking, marking and what to do if it is stolen, see our guide to protecting your scooter from theft.

Checking and replacing folding mechanism parts
Check the latch at regular intervals: the stem should sit without play when the folding mechanism is locked. Replace parts that are worn, bent or cracked, and use new screws if the old ones are damaged. If you are unsure which part you need, customer service will help, and for a fault on a vehicle bought from us, see the warranty page.
Frequently asked questions
Which folding mechanism fits my electric scooter?
The one with your model name in the product title. The parts are model-specific and even generations differ – the Xiaomi M365, Xiaomi 3 and Xiaomi Pro 2/3 use different mounting kits.
Why is there play in my electric scooter folding mechanism?
Play in the stem is often caused by a worn locking ring, latch hook or folding latch, or by screws that have worked loose. Check and tighten the screws first. If the play remains, replace the worn part or the whole folding mechanism.
