Hello all! This is my review of the Kaabo Mantis King GT electric scooter. Keep in mind my scooter experience started with the
Turboant X7 Pro then on to the Emove Touring (Love it) and the Emove Cruiser (love it more except going through 2 controllers in 1 year). What do I think of the Kaabo Mantis King GT?
WOW!! That’s what I want to say. Simply wow! Very exhilarating in a smaller package! This review is after riding it for 27 miles total so far. I took it out for a 4 mile test upon opening it. And yesterday finished a 23mile ride that included some off-roading.
This thing is quick! Before getting this scooter I was wondering if the Emove Cruiser was the “only scooter I needed” as it’s called. But I’m very glad I now have this scooter! And will be using this scooter every chance I can get!
If you want a light-weight mid to high performance scooter I would 100% recommend the Kaabo Mantis King GT.
Comparison: I’d compare this to the Vsett 10+ scooter. I thought very hard on which one I preferred. I went with the Kaabo because of the slick Red/black looks, the sinewave controller as well as the newer TFT display. The Vsett 10+ was also little too big physically and too high off the ground for my liking. But the height of the deck can help clear objects or reduce bottoming out for heavier riders. I just prefer to ride closer to the ground.
Pros:
Weight – For 45mph max scooter it is lightweight at 77lbs even if it may not sound like it. I’m 5’5 195 lbs and I am easily able to lift it into the trunk of my Nissan Versa Note Hatchback!
Agility – I had this assumption that moving up from the Cruiser to a 70+ lb scooter with dual motors would make it more stiff on steering. But even with the built-in steering dampner the scooter is very agile. It may even be more agile then the Cruiser.
Quickness- This scooter rivals the performance of the bigger scooters. While I was on the Emove Cruiser during group rides I felt myself often times lagging behind. Now while riding the Mants King I like to think “IM IN THE GAME!”
Now be humble. You won’t go beating the likes of the Wolf’s or the Nami’s or similar type of high performance scooters, but you will be able to stay within a reasonable distance.
LED Lights: The lights on the side are so cool for night-riding! Nuff said!
Cons:
Rear Fender Noise – The rear fender does smack the back tire like the Youtube reviewers mention. It doesn’t affect the riding itself its just annoying to hear.
My order DID NOT arrive with the shorter rear fender to swap out and avoid this noise.
Who is this for?
This scooter can be for any riding level. The speed settings allow you to ride it with very slow acceleration and max speed, up to quick at 30-45 mph max speed. If you don’t want the weight or bigger size of a high performance scooter, this will give you a good feel of one without those.
Tip: leave the password off. It gets to be annoying.
Will look to review this scooter again after longer use.
