@Zane Zakai I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I've really been digging it. First scooter and I've put about 75km on it, putting around the Willamette River in Portland. Solidly built piece of machinery, but...the horn wasn't functional out of the box, and two or three times there was a numerical "error" code where it powered up but would not accelerate. But I love it.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I absolutely love my Mantis, got 150kms or so accident free so far and I ride her every day it's not raining here in Portland.
Great video as always guys. Have to say again how great it is you guys have started to include the team's opinion. Great tp hear from opposite sides of the spectrum ie: Trina and Ramier.
I’ve owned the mantis 8 for a couple of months now and I love it. Only issue I had out the box was the screen on the throttle. Soon as I turned it on, it was glitching. I emailed kaabo with a video and they sent me a new one. Other than that I have no issues. I’m a 150 pounds. I would like for the suspension to be a bit more soft. I have the vsett 8 and I feel like it out performs in the suspension. But that’s just me. Other than that I love it. Definitely looking into the mantis 10. Also I’m not folding it. That is my other complaint. I just carry it with the stem up. To much going on to fold it compared to my other scooters.
I agree with Tina on the colour. I'm looking for colour in my next scooter, which is why the Orange eMove Cruiser caught my eye. Especially when scooters are popping up everywhere, I'd like to stand out a little. Great stuff guys, the Mantis 8 is not for me because range is quickly becoming king. The Mantis needs to eMove aside. 🤭
I don't know if it's the 2021-2022 refresh (or maybe the seller I bought it from did it, it's Eevee from Vancouver Canada) but mine is IPX5 and I bought it this week for cheaper than the apollo city pro (and same price as apollo city 2022).
@@redouanemouffok115 Eevee is great, tbh they respond to questions very fast same with kaabo. I did about 150km and it's been great, 1 thing that happened is that he front wheel break handle snapped when I had to brake quick at 45km/h, so I'm sending it back to eevee for repair but otherwise no issues.
@@Daniel_Clem I heard that the mantis had a great build quality, good thing they offer a warranty with it ! Did you had any coupon code applied for your purchase ?
Thank you your great reviews, most professional and with very good comparissions with different actual models! There you compared Mantis 8 mini 18ah, but not Mantis 8 Pro model, which is much powefull. I think there will be some really differences, but as you comparing it with Wide wheel pro little different, must be compared Mantis 8 pro for such specifications, than will be equal comparission. But as i understand you dont't have this Mantis 8 model. Anyway thank you very much for your efforts and very great videos!! When you will have Mantis pro please do comparission of speeds and etc with Mantis 8 not pro. Best regards from Lithuania.
Could you do a video on the best (or available) scooters for very tall persons and those that might weigh more? I'm 6'5" and weigh 206 lbs. With a full backpack, it could be up to 230 lbs or more. Most scooters aren't tall enough (handles) and aren't rated for heavier riders. It's hard to find a comparisons list for those scooters. Thanks.
That's a good question. I'm not familiar with Kaabo USA at all. I just had a look at the specs and they're pretty different. The Kaabo USA Mantis 8 has two 500 W motors, where the Fluidfreeride Mantis 8 has one 800W motor. They weigh the same though, because the Fluid scooter has a 40% larger battery (18.2ah vs 13 ah). So I expect that the Fluid Mantis 8 has much longer range, while the USA one will have a bit more acceleration. The handling of the single motor scooter from Fluid is also really really good because of the lighter front wheel. We have a Mantis 8 Pro, here from Fluid, which is an absolute beast on acceleration, but the handling of the single motor version is noticeably better. -Paul
I've been watching videos about the widewheel for a while, but now that i know about mantis 8 single motor is almost the same price, i think I'm going with this one, i prefer more range than speed, more features like turning lights are just better for me
So I bought this from fluidride and on the website it stated 28+mph and your review says 25mph? A few weeks ago I almost bought a wide wheel pro but it took so long to ship so I cancelled the order. When I saw this going more than 25, I figure this is better for more speed but its the same speed? Fluidride falsely advertising the Mantis 8? Its arriving tomorrow too so....
Thanks so much True North! To answer your question -- about we refer to it as "manti" -- it is actually the plural form of Mantis as @HDmusic pointed out. We asked Julian if our community could determine the "official" form of the plural and he agreed. On the live show the results of our community poll were released and Julian agreed to the new terminology: ua-cam.com/video/KoNUhlYcPd8/v-deo.html
Hello everyone! Another great video. Looks like this is a solid scooter and would be nice to own. However, I purchased fluid freerides Horizon this year and the specs are still good enough to hold on to it. Plus paid at total only 650 for mine under preorder! So I was wondering will Mantis 8 be enough to pull other buys who already have similar specs on their current rides?
@@rocknthetube Awww, sorry to hear that -- hope you get better soon. If you say hi on the livechat for tonight's show -- I'll give you a shoutout and ask our viewers to send you well-wishes. ua-cam.com/video/KNswl4lBt2k/v-deo.html
I would reach out to Fluidfreeride.com or your local dealer. It's not just the size, but you really need the correct bolt strength or it can snap off! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I also hear that the new gen 2 motor that's marketed in the LP are installed on new G30 scooters, with the serial number on the back wheel indicating which generation it is (Source: "Ginger on wheels"' review). I'd be interested to see how difference in weight and size feels on the LP,.
Good call out. The 60V came from specs on the Fluidfreeride site, but we should have noticed that it conflicts with the motor being listed as 48V on the same page. Both are 48V. The pro is missing a digit. Should have been 24.5ah not 4.5ah. This one is 100% on me. We changed the format of our reviews and it caused the text from these charts to sneak by me. -Paul from ESG

This comes in 4 different colourways though? .Not that colour should be a prioritising factor when choosing a scooter...

Think I'm going to go with the horizon as my first scooter. Once I'm ready to upgrade I'll probably do a mantis or pro
Is this better than the Wide Wheel Pro? I'm currently looking on both but still not decided on which one.
Good review, as always. Is it possible to improve the "sluggish" acceleration and torque hill climbing in the P setting? Thx!
Should be able to adjust a few in P settings. -Vosk
How is the stability deom 10-15mph? Thats the range my wife rides at and where i can keep up on my euc.

So there is no IP ratings? Can I drive under the heavy rain?

Solid choice
Was gonna get a wide wheel. But know I'm leaning towards a mantis. decisions decisions.
@@visalsao2136 Hi! Which one did you get? I'm also thinking between one of these two.
@@snuno8990 definitely a mantis. The widewheel is so bumpy and on wet roads u end up sliding around and turning sucks.
Just ordered a mantis 8 as my first escooter.
How is it?
i might get it as my 3rd scooter

The links go to the Mantis 8 "Pro". Where is the link for the "Mantis 8" only?
There should be a tab there to switch!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I don't see it. Can you post the link here for Mantis 8 only.
As ever, quality content and review from ESG. One thing that gets me though, why call it a Manti when it was named Mantis by Kaabo?
Manti is the plural of Mantis
@@marchepas90 point is, if the manufacturer itself calls it Mantis, why call it another name?

And i cant seem to find the size i need!

Everyone, please look at this video, especially the people from "electric scooter guide" ( My Kaabo Mantis Has a Lot of Problems: 500 Mile Update)

The scooter is dual motor, not single motor
