Today's video is a quick review of how my Kaabo Mantis is holding up after the first 250 miles. I'll go over what repairs and upgrades I've made and review the accessories I've been using with my Mantis.

Great video! I have trouble seeing people ride without gloves. I believe that when most accidents happen the hands take the 1st impact and therefore gloves are vital. I am not an accident expert but the pain of healing hands is terrible. Loved your video!

I have about 750 miles on my Mantis. I'm loving the color scheme you have with the accessories. I'm going to buy that mirror right now since looking behind you at high speeds can lead to wobbling and potentially a crash. As always great work.

Drew Jobson Just wondering, did you purchase the base or pro model? Also did you purchase it along with the fast charger?
@jobbersfootball42

@@Arroyies I went through Fluidfreeride when I purchased the base model and the fast charger. I highly recommend getting the fast charger since it allows you to adjust the amps and percentage of charge you want. When I want to "trickle" charge my scooter overnight I can set the charger to 1 amp, and when I want to fast charge I boost it up to 5 amps.

Thanks for the update mate. As for headlight recommendations... I can definitely recommend the Nitecore BR35. It's on the higher end of the price range but the power and flexibility can't be matched. The only one I can think of is made by Fenix. Have a look and see what you think. I got mine off Drop for a really good price so keep your eyes peeled.

So yea, 72 dollars in total for the light and attachment and It doubles as a (sick) flash light. Thanks for the inspiration to buy one man, I’m so excited

My Kaabo Mantis 10+ V2 arrived today. The steering stem clamp is useless. the stem wobbles badly at the clamp no mater how much I tighten it. It's not a wobble further down, it's under the clamp. I couldn't be more disappointed.

I ordered 2 lights of the same brand and model called: victagen 2400. About $30 USD each. I ordered the 1st one and was happy with it and just ordered the 2nd one mainly so that I could use it as a usb battery for my LED lights but will turn it on when I go on the pitch dark trail, I just got it today so I don't know how it looks with both lights on. On the amazon page, I selected the model with: Unique FOG Light modes. I ordered that one because it had the most check boxes on the model list comparison haha. I am happy with it, basically my first scooter head lights I use to ride in the dark. But my scooter only goes 15mph, for something faster, you will need something bigger than this light. My estimation, I wouldn't feel safe going faster than 20mph using one victagen 2400. I also used some duct/t-rex tape to make a rain cover over the usb ports so it wouldn't rain directly on the usb port when I have the usb LED lights plugged into the victagen.

Electric Scooter Guide gave the Mantis a 29 mile real world range, so it definitely won't make a 40 mile round trip on a single charge. But if you can charge it at work you should be fine.
