Great scooter. Scary but fun. 1st day riding I crashed and broke my shoulder. Almost 2 months later i overcame my fears and really enjoy my Mantis!

This guys review is 100% accurate. I own a mantis base with 1800miles. I also own a Turbowheel Phaeton, I would never give up my mantis!

i got the mantis pro 10 days ago and im loving it. 200+ miles already. Got a 21 mile trip going now on 1 charge with 58% battery left! The power is insane too... OP really

What a great review. I am so lucky to have found it.

I enjoy your content and always look forward to your next video.

Great overall review! I have some videos of my Mantis Pro as well. Regarding the wobbly rear hub motor/wheel section I had it on the front and the rear. Front was more noticeable but you'll have to check it on eye level as you may want to put it on a lift or something. Look BOTH sides to see where the unevenness is at. Make sure the tire is seated properly. If not, loosen the 6 hex bolts and work your way around the tire/rim area. You have to also Loctite some of those bolts since it's metal on aluminum and it will loosen with use. And be cautious about the inner tube's nipple while moving the tire around. If you've done all that, then it's the axle which I don't think is that easy to bend since it's solid steel. Good luck and ride safe.

Top notch review!

Thanks for the thorough review

Great review and video! I want to also thank you because your videos are what helped me get my Mantis base model. I plan on upgrading to magura brakes when the time comes. The Mantis is indeed a fantastic scooter! My next scooter will definitely have bigger range though.

great video mate. very informative. cheers

Excellent review!

What I have seen and heard, hydraulic breaks are the only breaks you can use with 1 finger. GPS as a speedometer test. From my experience, GPS userly shows a faster speed then then your actual speed. 1-3 MPH for me. Battery randomly cut off at 14 miles 1 time. If the display shows accurate battery levels and trip odometer mileage, got to pay better attention to the display. Also keep in mind that in very windy conditions can greatly reduce your range and speed. By about 50 percent from my experience.

Good review got me thinking about getting one

Great review 💥

My Skywalker stem snapped leaving me injured glad to hear this change as I'm upgrading to this

Great and detailed review. Narrowing down with my search....

Awesome video bro, I own the dualtron thunder and the other day I hit 44 mph going downhill in about 8-9 seconds, it felt like it could go faster but i chickened out lmao 😂

brilliant review , i wish you reviewed all scooters

We love them!

I have the pro version with minimotors display and bigger battery, zoom brakes are OK so far. You have to tighten all screws before you ride and the after first few rides. I also reploeced the bigger bolts (under the stem, and for front and rear suspension) with higher grade steel. I also replaced the elastomeric tubes in the springs to tighten the suspension, bought them from a french website as I'm in EU. There are videos on KZfaq how to waterproof the deck, also you need minimotors display the cheaper one you have in the base version isn't rain proof. They show how to put silicone around the edges when you open the deck and the meter. I had to ride in a heavy rain to return home once, it was not sealed and nothing happened :) suspension gets noisy after some time with dust in the springs and elastomer, don't bother to clean it. I clean disk brakes only with a special alcohol that's it. I also had to put extra glue under the rubber carpet on the deck. So far nearly 1000 miles, all good even tyres are still ok. Always add full pressure to the tyres, 3.5+ bar. I removed the rear mud guard it didn't make any sense. My wheels are well centered, there is a French KZfaqr that provides 3d printer files to print some parts like a special little plastic holder that helps you center the wheel / attach some metal weights like they do with cars. I also installed a removable light to be more visible. I ride mainly on bike paths in the city. This scooter is not for heavy folks. 85kg max.

great vid, i love in the uk an when my mantis arrived it had break censer issues but kaabo as a company were fantastic. brilliant customer service. family run company to my knowledge.

I got my 10x 24ah 3 days ago already put 50 miles on it. My speedometer seems to be about 2 miles per hour shy, according to gps. So I can safely say I have gone like 42 as my top speed

Like your vids bro.. i order my mantis 2 months ago and im Stil waiting hahahahah

Just got a zero 9. The mantis is my dream end game. Even 28mph feels insanely fast to me I can’t imagine riding the mantis

I felt like when the Matis was being developed it was also being developed with the Skywalker series. I think that's why I went with the Skywalker 10S and not the base Mantis. I'm glad I did as the Mantis was okay, nothing terrible but nothing great. Skywalker the same but at least I'm not having to drop an extra $600 for something that feels kind of cheap. But soon enough I will have the Wolf Warrior which will be a huge game-changer but I will still forever cherish my days with the Skywalker.

Good quality product. Correct, fast transport service.

this is great would you rather have the mantis or the lightning?

It is very good review I have a same problem order online and came defective and I have to return back with the shipping fee as stocking fee that is terrible. I lost out I haven’t enjoyed the scooter yet !

I want it so bad, I'm only 15 and I live for crazy things like this. I just don't know where to get money man :( I'll work 10 hrs a day just for some money. but imagine pulling up and commuting to school with this haha

Hehe any plans on installing new brakes? If yes, please do a review on it. There's a lot of Magura MT5e brake installation videos but no reviews once installed. 🖖😅 Have you tried the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)? Still can't work my way around it. Hehe if you're using it, please do a tutorial on how you use it effectively. Using a mantis pro for about 3 months now and I'm loving each ride too. Love your vids. Thanks

Hi, I just purchased a mantis pro se gold. Is this almost the same as yours? Btw love watching your videos, thanks.👍🏽

Couple of tips for Mantis riders. If you are looking to make you scooter water tight don’t use glue and paint. Clear silicone is perfect or even clear rubber glue. I also found that 17mm car wheel nut covers are great for replacements. Very cheap look great and you get 20. eBay I live in the UK and have hear that the faster powerful scooters may be Illegal in the future so if you in the city and are going to be in close contact with police stay safe and go for one motor. It’s fast enough. And keep off the pavement People. I saw one guy literally ride his scooter into Tesco the other day. Also every man and his dog will have a scooter after Christmas. ! It’s getting crazy out there.

Good stems are flexible I love my eagle pro and my thunder and both have some stem flexibility in the 3 foot metal stem that has alot of leverage against it and I would imagine rigid stems breaking we are not building titanic things anymore remember were past that flexibility over rigidity

Que suerte poder ir por la carretera a velocidad alta como los coches, aqui en españa no puedes ir a mas de 25 kmh si no multa, que buenas leyes hay en mi pais si...

What is the link or name of those grips? Very nice.

Your review is pretty accurate and mentions things that other reviewers that get sent the scooters for free don't mention. These $1.5k and up scooters come with 💩 accessories and components. I intended to purchase a scooter when researching and deciding on the Mantis Pro but then I realized for the price I can get a Niu scooter that comes with a 3K Bosch motor, Panasonic/Samsung batteries, 75 mile range, and much safer to ride. I still watch and subscribe to kick scooter channels but the prices aren't justified.

Hi, I've got the same scooter and I need to ask if you had and issue with losing acceleration or maximum speed ? I think maybe I need to put some more pressure to the tires... And also after raining day my suspension annoying me with a squeaky sounds, I will use wd40 but how should I apply for this scooter (I know how this can sounds but it's my first scooter and I am proper new)

Have you ever seen or suggested the solar p1 scooter??

Which model mantis is it? Hard to know from the review?

Do you have a link for the handlebars?

It looks like if you hit a curb with that front wheel it would be game over

The handle do have a converter for mtb handle bar

Interesting. I ordered the pro version, 2 weeks ago, expecting that end of september.

I'm looking for a 5amp 24v charger. I saw a few on Amazon and ebay. But I don't know if they are the right one's ? Can you give me the benefit of your extensive knowledge ?

Tengo un zero 11x🤩😀

out of curiosity in relation to distance the Mantis will cover. what is your weight? thanks

Good upgrade coming of the Kugo m4 pro?

Awesome review ! Unfortunately i got a rear flat my first 3 miles so waiting on new tubes and slime for preventing future easy punctures, maybe got pinched so just waiting ...

Love my zero 10x, made Bob Jones my b**** lol. let me know next time your in slo, we should race my 10x vs your mantis, could be good content!

Can the mantis Is be locked up or secured in any way

i thought the mantis had the minimotors display, or is it only the pro version that has it?

This would be fun to ride through a warehouse

So how long would you expect the lifespan of the Mantis to be? I got mine 2 weeks ago and use it as much as possible

Make a video about the pro version difference

I ride a zero8x and I feel like it gives you exactly the same feeling of this mantis. It looks the same is almost as fast and powerful but the zero8x weighs a bit more and goes a bit further one noticeable difference is my zero8x has 8 inch solid tires and I’m really glad it does as it’s my 4th scooter and I have a 5th one now and it rides the best with solid tires

Anyone know anywhere I can find this ? I want to buy a second one , I'm in love

What grips are you using?

43 mph sounds downright scary lmao

How fast is allowed in your state?

Nice video, I live in Utah as well and have had my eye on the Mantis for about a year now. I'm considering it for my full-time transportation, but there's a few others I'm thinking about as well, like the Turbowheel Lightning, Zero 9 or 10. It's kind of hard to decide just looking at videos and stats. I've never ridden a high end electric scooter. Would you consider letting me test it out?

Is your mantis a pro version or not

I wonder how this would work on snow and I can’t find any reviews where they ride it on snow

Me personally I would contact the company you bought it from send them an email to the sales and state the fact you've foundfor a silly amount cheaper but you won't tell anyone if they give it you for that price otherwise you are sending it back

The last time n nag aral ako how to drive a mc.i crushed after that never ako umulit hehhe..natakot ako makdagrasya..cheryl gangca here

Do you have to go into the menu and set the speed

IPX5 water rating?

Which is better? This scooter or the varla eagle one?

What scooter should I buy - if I want a Mantis But without all the cons? 😅

Is this the 8 or 10

Not bad.

What scooter do you suggest getting next bro ??? I’ve got the mantis lite but after this video ... I don’t wanna drop 1600 on a mantis if you think there is anything better In My price range please holla back👍

Brakes on the base is not the best. I mean its either that or i should slow down to avoid accidents.

I want this but in italy it's illegal 😢

Important update about my Mantis here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJaGh9V5u5mshGQ.html

Anyone ever order from okidas?

In Australia there are 4 models, single motor Base, then Dual, Elite then Pro. I have the Elite, cost $2700 Aus, Pro is $3300.

Hi, I'm reaching out to as many people as i can. I have a mantis 10 DUO 18.2AH 60V scooter SN KBTL121120082331. I'm trying to find a wiring diagram for these two black ESC's (controller boxes) but no one can help me so far. Is there anyone here that could maybe supply me with a photo of how the connects are all set up? or a diagram or anything. I have tried the manufacturers and many stores. No one can help me so far.. Please if anyone has the model with the two black controllers can you please please help me with a photo or anything :( I beg you.

Hi I received my mantis lite about a week ago and I've got to say anyone in the UK looking for one please consider theescooterco they even have ex display models with no miles for £749

Varla scooters are the best for its money with NO problems at all like this one has and for the same amount of money Varla is way better choice

Nice review but I think the Apollo pro is the best in the 1800 to 2000 price range. Either way most of these are almost the same. Wish they were priced like in China.

I am learning the hard way that NOTHING is under warranty. I have had my Kaabo scooter for 3 months, and so far; 1/ The front whole arm had to be replaced because the stem was faulty, I had to pay £160 and not under warranty. 2/ I am constantly finding screws falling out 3/ My front brake caliper has fallen off with the screw holes holding it on having no thread and being completely smooth. Got scooter on finance and now I wish I never bought this cheap built product by Kaabo and if you read up the build quality is a common issue. I recommend everyone to avoid, as no matter how it goes wrong you are never covered by warranty.

Speed reading too fast, change the diameter of the wheel to 9" in PO setting, then compare to GPS.

65 lbs is a deal breaker for carrying up two flights of stairs

Is this chinese made ?

$1600 im sorry but thats just gana make me broke lol 😂

18 mph £35 eBay

For 16 id rather buy a beater 🤣

That's 40 mph at £1160 you paid dollar $1600 save you a bulb bomb ebay you'll always find cheaper with PayPal installment allowed what's that your paying monthly??

The hole scooter was made in china all of them are. Then we buy them for big money. And your scooter looks like a teck life or zero scooter.as I said all from china.

Kugoo G Booster is much better .

phantom might be better than this.

I've had 3 and returned all of them. Mantis pro 10 dual are a peice of shit

First

They sell you a scooter & when it doesn't work, they will not refund your money, they will not give you another unit, they will barely even talk to you. NEVER buy any Kaabo products, there is ZERO support. It's like playing Russian roulette with your hard earned money. Terrible company with THE WORST customer service possible!

Pass👎🏼

It Doesn't. Have a smart Motor

Still prefer Ninebot Max

Cry baby

Using this scooter for short commutes is the way to go, as it makes it really fun. kzfaq.infoUgkxvyNuxpWiHTNypxG6nyqyf7ywc7Q16PDM Both the levels of speed it allows you to use are very fun, though 20mph can get pretty scary on bad roads. It makes a cool electric sound as it is accelerating. The battery life is also pretty impressive, as I can go anywhere around me within a ~10 mile radius and back home with a full charge. I expected the tires to feel somewhat like a toy, but it is legit, and has pretty good grip on surfaces. Braking on this scooter is also really fun, since you can even do a little drifting if you break hard. The wheels on the scooter are definitely very high quality, as they are wide and well sized. The entire scooter is pretty high quality too. I have fallen on it a couple times because I was being a little reckless, and the scooter still works perfectly fine, with some minor scratches on the sides. I found the brake lights to be very cool as well, since they flash when you brake.
