Just placed an order using your code, thank you for all the good info, I’m an owner of both the Wolf king and Zero 11x, just hours after you posted this video, I got a warning from my local Trail authorities say my scooter is too powerful for the trail, So the timing of this post is perfect for me.

It was the homeless who brought the police over in the first place, I just pass by under 10 mph, pulled me over and told me scooters over 30mph, 50mph can’t be on the trail, mentioned something about 25mph and under; as “motorized vehicle are prohibited”

Received the Mantis 8 500w*2 on the following Wednesday since I am located in the same state as the warehouse (CA); the overall build quality is very good, fit and finish are in line with the Zero 11x and Wolf King, I double-check all the bolts and screws seems all secured; speed and ranges seem as advertised only complain so far are the green powerbar display inaccurately as I ride 3 volts and it dropped to half the bar; another dislike is the regen EABS brake is very aggressive which easily slowed down to a full stop completely. Most certainly a great buy! Thanks again for the coupon and KaaboUSA.

Wow that was fast! glad you like it. Yeah I’ve noticed the same thing with the power bar it makes you think the battery is almost dead but then you can go many many more miles there may be a setting that can be changed but not 100% sure are usually just go by how many volts are left instead of the battery bar.

Great review of the Mantis 8 and a great channel (subscribed). I have been testing this scooter for a while and I really like it. As you mentioned, I wish there was a way to know which mode you are in (dual vs single and Eco vs Turbo). I have their Mantis 10 as well, which is a bit heavier but can go 45mph and has a range of over 50 miles.

Bought a second hand mantis 8 only had 142 miles onit did not even have a mark onit looked brand new. After a few more miles i noticed a wobble on the front end and thought some thing had just come loose, it turned out the stem had cracked and this is a major design flaw on most mantis scooters. the bottom half of the stem bar is welded and ground back flat but it seems the welds do not penetrate properly and this leads to the stem cracking and is dangerous. on the mantis 8 the tires that come with them are crap the different ply layers are not bonded properly on the production line and this leads to bulging. If you do not get the pro versions you will get crap cells in the battery packs and they have high internal resistance and under two wheel drive mode three you will see the voltage sag badly. After i contacted kaabo customer service they did not want to know or help in anyway shape or form, they do not give a toss. You do not buy a mtb or moped and they fall to bits after 200 miles.

They both have their benefits but for me personally I prefer the Kaabo Mantis 8. The suspension is a bit stiffer and it is a bit slower but it seems to have better handling at slower speed and turns, awesome lighting for safety, it’s lighter and has regenerative braking. I still need to do some more tests between the two but that’s my current opinion.

varla, nanrobot d6+, zero 10x are all basically the same. I don't think the varla has split rims so changing a tire can be painful. Get hydraulic brakes on any scooter 30+ mph. NR D6+ has a great stem lock. EtwoW GT is amazingly fun and very light. Hell, even the unagi dual is a blast with both tires spinning. Also, grab a wolf king while you're at it.

Dual motor isn't for top speed like this guy thinks. The reasoning behind it is more for traction Like in some snow or in dirt like if going uphill on a gravel road. It would make so much difference in drivability I'd bet. If you are at top speed and hit dual motor you wont go a lot faster. Maybe if you are 300 lbs and the one motor is eating full voltage lol
