Still testing the Thunder II. So far all I can tell you is that the King GT is heavier and faster than the Thunder II :-) Very different scooters. I'm still learning a lot about the Thunder II though. Braking data is on my desk, but I haven't analyzed it yet. :-)
We're actually really curious about how it would be in the snow. With the right tires it could be interesting. I'm not sure if dual motor would be a plus or not in deeper snow. I would be very concerned about getting stuck though. It's very heavy at 125.4lbs /57kg (measured) and would be difficult to pull out of a snow drift if something went wrong. -Paul
wow i didnt realize this one was so dramatically better than the wolf king. that 55m range vs 33.4 from the king is amazing. id say that alone makes it worth the extra $800 over the price of the normal king (if you have the stamina to manage to do rides like that of course lol).
When you talk about underrated scooters, I think that this one is underrated. Anyone who is in the market for a heavy weight scooter, I don' t think that there is anything else to buy. It seems like it does just about everything right.
I love that you guys have Remier to show how big guys like us look or feel on these scooters. Honestly I didn't even know it was possible until I started seeing the big dog approved stuff from Remier.
Hopefully they will show up in more places soon! CST is the largest manufacturer of scooter tires. These don't appear to be exclusive to Kaabo either. The Thunder II that we unboxed a couple days ago has identical looking tires and a badge on the scooter saying "No Flat Tire". I don't know why the companies aren't making more of a big deal out of this. -Paul
@@paulrevere1479 I sure hope so because it's been a while since I've even considered buying a scooter without solid tires. I had a Thunder for a while and the tubeless are nice, but still not as good as these. Thanks for pointing them out and giving them their own section in the review!
Thank you so much Andrea! We don't have any spare tires around right now either, so we had to test the tires after everything else was done! Thankfully the GT self sealed perfectly and the King was taken care of by Dr. Orange (Voro+Armor-Dilloz). -Paul
Electric Scooters 🛴 but we get the idea of what you are saying and I definitely do agree with you. After 1000+ hard off road miles I have literally not had even one problem. The WW in whatever iteration you buy it in is a Beast!
It's another bootleg, all these scooter companies are copying designs/frames/wiring patterns and using similar or same components for much of it but none can program the bike to display a correct reading on the battery??? My brother bought a scooter for 2k+ and one of his brakes just stopped working (after only using it a few times) surprise there was no pressure in one of the brakes (loss of liquid) the brake calipers looks like those good 4 pistons that Magura and Shimano sell yet after barely using it, having a major malfunction. Similar frame, wiring, brakes, motors, levers, suspension etc... it's almost exactly the same with that stupid battery percentage malfunction
Paul I’ve been waiting months for you and the guys to get your hands on this animal! Watched the podcast too. Great work, you’ve got balls of steel going 60+ lol this is the scooter I’ve been saying I want since before it came out. Saw the King and said ah lemme wait for any upgrades and f%#! me did they upgrade. Hoping to grab it next Spring.
Thank you so much Raj! I was surprised they came up with it so soon after the Wolf King, and really expected it to be a smaller update than it is. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Do you know what brakes would be an easy upgrade for the King GT ? I've talked to someone who said the Magura T7 Pro's would fit with an adapter, unfortunately when it comes to e scooters I'm not the handiest, at the moment anyways meaning i haven't a clue what to search for and with them been newish information and videos are hard to come by, and assistance would be appreciated.
I was going to order a wolf king until I watched this video (and your deep dive video), I ended up buying the Wolf King GT. These were really great informative videos. Thanks for making them.
@@shanew7361 Amazing, it is the best all around scooter regardless of price. Very fast, smooth, controllable. My old scooter is a piece of crap compare to this. The only other scooter that is even close is the Bronco and the Bronco is not that close.
anyone watching this video who's on the fence. I bought one a few days ago. HOLY MOLY this is the most fun I've had in a damn long time. I'm still adjusting so I haven't gone past mode 2 dual motor yet. But it's awesome even in mode 2., Still has decent feeling torque and can go 27 which will probably be plenty for putting around. My old scooter was a Ninebot Max G30 and even in mode 2 this is a lot faster and more powerful. And there are still 3 higher modes (crazy) And coming from a scooter with no suspension, this thing rides like a Rolls Royce compared to the Ninbot (So cal roads are TERRIBLE terrible) Can't even imagine how it will be once I'm able to ride in mode 4 or 5. EGS's video pretty much sold me on it, I definitely don't want to go 60, but the range and acceleration are super and somewhere around 40mph will probably be perfect for me.
Wow what a video, brilliant analysis and very clear. My Wolf Warrior 11 has fallen asleep for good and I was wondering if the GT was worth it. After watching this vid, I definitely plan on getting it. My poor bank balance.
Agreed. I'd pick motor controllers even if it meant taking my chances with the front end. I have no qualms about continuing to do top speed runs on our old Wolf Warrior 11+ and Wolf King.
Square wave controllers = carburetors, flat heads and side valves. Sine wave controllers = EFI twin cam, multi valves. More efficient, more powerful, just a superior way to turn the direct current from a battery in to a motive force via electromagnetic unicorn trickery.
Square wave is more efficient at high speeds though. And way more reliable. I just bought a dualtron recently and this made the difference for me. Having the risk of a hall sensor break on the front motor and catapult me over the handlebars was not worth it. This is the exact same reason Dualtron X has a sinewave only on the rear motor.
@@slick1908 Haven't heard of any issues like that with Nami or King GT. Yeah square wave is more efficient at speeds, but how long would you go at 60mph for vs 20-40 mph
I also haven't heard of any lock-up failures. I'm having a hard time picturing how that would even happen. I have heard that Square Wave is faster at the very top end though, given the same number of amps. -Paul
$500 more and you get blinkers, more power, bigger & better display, water resistant, and bigger battery. Obvious choice is the new Wolf King GT. Still no regrets on my OG Wolf King (videos on my channel)
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I got the black one with off road tyres, unfortunately when doing the initial assembly i noticed that the little red latch that makes sure the quick release lever for the folding mechanism stays in place was just spinning, under further inspection i found that it had been tighten far to tight and the rubber washer had split meaning that the catch wasn't secure due to the washer not been in place in order to keep it tight. I'm going to purchase a washer tomorrow i ordered some off of amazon but the wrong size came lol.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I tried the throttle and the dead zone is rather large, I've also got a Wolf Warrior 11 and i find that has the opposite problem with it been far to sensitive.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide It can't be anything else and there's no way it's getting shipped 400 miles for an exchange. I'm tempted to take the one off of my Warrior but then I'd have to fix that so it pointless.
Impressive throttle and braking. If only it came with a seat for that crazy range, and separated into 2 pieces, to make carrying upstairs or putting in a car trunk easy.
It should come with full time assistant for putting it in and out of car trunk, cleaning it, minor service work, plugging it in, and of course changing the tires when needed.
If I had a dollar for every time my Wolf Warrior kickstand bit me in the ankle I would be rich. Be careful! It hurts for a few minutes 😂😂😂 And guys don’t forget to review these models with the Off-Road tires. Some of us just ride off road like me!
First beat scooter I bouht was the STORM always the slowest and most expensive out of the beast scooters but I think it looks and sounds the best . Removable battery is a game changer and always a jow to ride. But if I want to get somewhere fast it WOLF GT hands down.
I had the kaabo wolf king and it’s no joke. I hit 62 mph but this wolf king gt seems a bit more savage. I also hit 61 mph on my thunder 2 recently after I use the new double clutch feature but I slowed down because I don’t have a damper yet. But it feel like I could get to 63-65mph I’m 177 pounds.
I haven't been able to crack 60mph on the Thunder II yet, even with the double click, but I had a small headwind and wasn't able to complete the opposite direction run due to traffic. More speed runs on Monday. I've got acceleration curves with and without the double click and one where I switch modes half way through. It's kind of cool that it shows up so clearly in the data. I can definitely feel it too. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide yessir !!! And the range of the thunder 2 is surprisingly insane. 51 miles on max settings and still had 5 volts of juice left
I'd like to say I'm looking forward to confirming that, but the long range scooters we've been testing have more range in them than I do ;-) We'll do our stadard range test on it though. Good to know that you broke 50 miles on it though! Thanks! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Just bought it. This thing is insane. I think the best upgrades are the taller handlebar height and thumb throttle. Thx for making this dope review!
you guys are crazy to ride this at 50 mph+ not sure if i would trust the stability of those scooters at high speed vs road hazards. they look fun to ride tho
They're really close on top speed. We got 59.4 mph from our Wolf King, so that makes sense. I'm also tucking down so far I'm looking through the handlebars when I do these speed runs -Paul
Thank you for the awesome review! Im still kicking around purchasing this beast and was wondering if replacing the tires are the same as on the GTR version?
excellent video! we are Maike, a Chinese scooter brand which has more than 6 years experience in scooter production. We want to invite you to make a testing video like this for one of our scooter, please let me know if you are interested in cooperating, we could discuss more details. many thank you!
I'd like to know your thoughts on the most reliable hyper scoots. I've been looking at the GT pro, Mars XT, LS7+, RS and the Yume Osprey. I see they all have problems with something but what would you recommend out of those scoots in the same category. Give or take with a $3000 budget.
I'm 99% sold on this, of course, I was 99% sold on the Roadrunner, but after watching a few videos the acceleration on it seemed kinda low for me. And the awesome pro version's out of stock until like May or June. ESG's videos on this pretty much sold me. If anyone from Voro sees this, just a suggestion but you should come up with scooter specific discount codes. I mean saving money is saving money. But if I use ESG's code on a $1,399 Emove Cruiser I save $50. And if I use the same code on a $3,499 Wolf Warrior GT Pro I save... $50. This is just my opinion but a scooter of this price should have a $100-150 off code. Either way, I'll be ordering this Monday unless a new Kaabo suddenly announces a new scooter out of nowhere. Wolf King GT Pro Plus w00p w00p edition with dual 4,000 watt motors perhaps?
Can’t go wrong with either but the KING GT is just a different beast. Hopefully we can have bigger discounts in the future but you can use code VORODELIVERY for $50 off
So glad I found this channel before buying a scooter; such good information, you guys seriously know your stuff. P.s. do you think you'll be reviewing the Dualtron X2 UP when it comes out? Mainly choosing between getting that or the Wolf GT in this video
Try to get your hands on a Hunter Quad, there is already a shop bringing them to the US, that's a beast of a scooter too, think it can go over 110 km/h easy peasy😀
I personally think it's overhyped for what it is. In the EUC world they are so much more efficient because they use a single motor and no moving parts beyond that and the suspension. Now the Hunter Quad brings us back to the stone age by putting on 4 zoom brakes 4 low power controllers and 4 motors for what reason? I don't like Wepeds but they do the same thing with two motors and two brakes and get better results...
@@danny-FL everything electric is overhyped today and overpriced for the moment i think, as for EUC yes more efficient, but only if you know how to ride it😁 not my case unfortunatly😅 never got on one and kinda intimidating doing it🤣🤣 so i'll stick to what i know best doing✌cheers
@@marianrosu9031 Yeah, its not for everyone. But I'm just saying I don't understand why that two wheeled scooter needs 4 of the same brake. For more maintenance and adjustment? So that it's easier to lock up the wheel? Because obviously if they wanted better braking performance they'd put some high quality brakes on it rather 4 cheap zoom brakes. Same goes for the motors and controllers, why 4? What's the advantage other than the fact that you can scream in the middle of the street that you have 4 of everything like they did on their presentation... A bronco xtreme 11 can get up to the same speed as that thing too...
Any chance you fine folks could put motor controller type in your database? Once the scales of economy get the good sinewave controllers cheap enough, dare I say it, "a game changer"
I think this will have to happen soon. Up until recently, there have only been a couple scooters, but as it gets more widespread it would be handy to be able to search by motor controller type. -Paul
Wait 6 months . . . it seems every few months I see a review that says *"NEW BEST SCOOTER"* I am waiting for one that is good enough for my needs that has an honest 2-3 year warranty that covers everything except the usual wear and tear items. Wishlist: 50mph with 200Lb. rider, ABS, flat proof pneumatic tires, 12" wide deck, 44" height from deck to handlebars and under $2,500 including tax and shipping
I’m getting mine delivered today. I also bought the seat. My only concern is that I’m 5’7 and it’s gonna be a little difficult to reach the ground when I’m fully stopped.
Hi Paul, my Son bought a Kaabo Wolf King GT but ran into operational issues after riding it just 19 days. Kaboo Ltd are not being helpful in resolving the matter and seem to be offering a poor ‘call centre’ level of customer service. And all other repair companies seem to fall under their umbrella. Could you possibly recommend an independent person or company that could help him please? He lives in East London, UK. I think you will find his experiences after riding this scooter very interesting.
This is a good question. The Nami handlebars are 2" higher at about 42 inches (1.07m) from the deck, but either one is going to be really really good for taller riders. Ramier likes the GT better because he likes to ride fast, and even after adjusting the suspension on the NAMI the GT has better high speed stability. I like both of them, but I like the NAMI suspension better. The GT is a lot less expensive though. -Paul
It's crazy how my 65 pound Mantis Pro can accelerate almost on par with these giants. But man these new scooters from Kaabo(King GT) and Apollo(Phantom) are starting to beat the sexiness out of my Mantis! And they look tempting to upgrade to with all those fancy new settings and waterproofing! But nah I still love mines and don't see myself getting an upgrade anytime soon. I can't wait to see what new scooters are coming out, especially from my favorite brand Kaabo(and maybe Dualtron but many of their scooters don't have rear fenders, which totally sucks)!
Hello. Excellent review, as always! Following your review on the Phantom V2, I bought the 60V model. I like it a lot, but I'm a big dawg with my 5p10, 240lbs, and I find the high speed suspension just not enough for my liking. Is the high-speed handling and suspension of the Wolf King GT Pro superior enough to make the switch?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide In all reviews of the Wolh King GT, it is said to have excellent handling at high speeds. If it's firmer than my Phantom, shouldn't it have better handling when the road has imperfections? I average 30 mph, and sometimes I find it lacks suspension at times. I understand that it is not a mountain bike, but at this speed, I would have liked better. Witch scooter you recommand for that? The Nami Burn E 2 max, Dualtron Storm...?
Thanks for the comment Brandon. If anyone has data to support their top speed claims, please contact me at ESG. Better yet, if anyone has a fast Weped and wants to come out and do a top speed run with me in Berkeley, I'd love to measure it and we'll include the data on our fastest scooters page (haven't added the GT to that page yet): The Weped SS made some lofty claims, but the only two GPS runs I've seen both put it at 56 mph. electric-scooter.guide/best-rated/fastest-electric-scooters/ -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide That would be a cool video to watch. I am not sure about the Weped SS, but the Weped FS from what I've seen it pretty dang impressive when it comes to top speed.
I'd love to ride an FS and get some data on it. Two of the websites in the US that sell the FS state that they are made to order, so that would put them into the hand-built, non-production scooter category with the Rion, and the S1-X. -Paul
Thanks! The speedo was indicating 63 in both the southbound and northbound speed runs, so I was really hoping I'd see >60 when I averaged the two runs together (to cancel out headwind/tailwind) and analyzed the data. So stoked to finally break the 60 mph mark! -Paul
The speedometer is still slightly optimistic, showing 63 mph, but probably the closest I've seen. Especially considering that there is some wheel slippage going on at 61mph and full throttle. :-)
I am excited and nervous at the same time I just ordered a wolfing gt and for the first e scooter Ive ever rode , it is kinda intimidating . Is it easy to ride ?
I have been wondering , I am short I am 5 foot 3 / 5 foot 2 .....are these bars too tall for me? It's what's stopping me from buying it and I can't find an answer online. Please help me ESG gang
I abs love all the upgrades on the gt. Any way possible that it can be ordered with left hand front braking and right hand rear braking. Im an avid downhill biker and it will throw me off to have my brakes reversed
Could always switch them on your downhill bike :-) It's possible to reverse the brake lines. You just need to bleed them afterward. It will take up some (maybe all) of the extra slack in the brake lines though, since they would be making an "X" as they cross over in front of the fork. I like them this way, since they are the same orientation as my motorcycle. -Paul
I can understand the comments not getting a response that have already been clearly answered, but when you specifically ask in the video for people to comment asking questions about what they would like to know, or what they would like reviewed and then to just ignore them seems pretty rude and makes me think maybe I should go to someone else for reviews. I don’t mean to offend at all, just hopefully constructive criticism.
I’m following you from Italy 🇮🇹 Thank you very much for your reviews I would like to have an advices from you ! I live at the second floor with no elevator and I’m thinking to buy a new scooter 🛴 I had the spider limited but I sold it because the stem was moving to much and the tires are to thin and not tubless. Which scooter would you recommend I’ve 3 on my list The storm for the removable battery (so I can lock it at the ground floor) The thunder 2 And the Nami (but too expensive ) I will Use it 80% in the city If you have some more scooter that I can consider I will appreciate your help Thanks and ciao 🇮🇹🙂🙏
Paul I need your help! I'm going to buy my first scooter and I'm torn between two. First the Kaabo King GT $4,857 Second the Kaabo King Plus $3,897 both after tax. My question is it really worth the extra $1000 for the GT.
I dont care about the top speed but want this model for the bigger range so i can ride this at a lower speed around 30 35 mph and the motors will run cooler and the battery will last a long time. Ontop of that when you need power for hills its there. The only thing i want is a seat and a cargo rack
I don't see any reviews for the "Wolf GT Pro" that's on Fluid Free Ride's website (50mph, 60mi range, 1200W, 40A sine wave controllers, etc.). Is this just the Wolf King renamed as Wolf GT Pro, or something else?
It's actually a pretty cool update. We haven't ridden one, but they say it has a sinedrive controller. If that's true then the throttle response will be smooth like buttah! Water resistance should be much much improved over the previous Wolf Warrior as well. -Paul
What are your thoughts on the new Kaabo Wolf King GT ( geni.us/WolfKingGT?track=yt ) ? Would you upgrade? Let us know in the comments below!

Gross…
Love the "Certified Big Dawg" stamp of approval!
Yeah, I didn't know until I saw the first draft of the video that Ramier liked it so much! Those higher handlebars were long overdue! -Paul
Impressive throttle and braking. If only it came with a seat for that crazy range, and separated into 2 pieces, to make carrying upstairs or putting in a car trunk easy.
I use a lift/elevator for this. And in the trunc goes mercane wide wheel. King is only for domestic use.
It should come with full time assistant for putting it in and out of car trunk, cleaning it, minor service work, plugging it in, and of course changing the tires when needed.
It does have a seat attachment
Pauly !
Good review old bean.
Thanks so much William! And thanks for all of the comments! Always appreciated! -Paul
great review as always. keep it up!
and are they more upcoming vsett reviews? would love to see the vsett 9 tested by esg team
Thank you ReyLista!
The 9 still isn't on our radar right now. No other Vsetts that I know of, but that could change. -Paul
If I had a dollar for every time my Wolf Warrior kickstand bit me in the ankle I would be rich. Be careful! It hurts for a few minutes 😂😂😂
And guys don’t forget to review these models with the Off-Road tires. Some of us just ride off road like me!
the rear fender is the biggest thing they need to upgrade. after all the complaints, its about time they extended the rear to actually get protection.
Agreed. -Paul
glad i choose this over nami-burn e, if nami will change their stem design and availability of parts for repair i might consider them
First beat scooter I bouht was the STORM always the slowest and most expensive out of the beast scooters but I think it looks and sounds the best . Removable battery is a game changer and always a jow to ride. But if I want to get somewhere fast it WOLF GT hands down.
They are both excellent fore sure! -Vosk
Should change channel name to Electric PEV Guide. You guys cover a wide range of electronic transportation
I had the kaabo wolf king and it’s no joke. I hit 62 mph but this wolf king gt seems a bit more savage.
I also hit 61 mph on my thunder 2 recently after I use the new double clutch feature but I slowed down because I don’t have a damper yet. But it feel like I could get to 63-65mph
I’m 177 pounds.
I haven't been able to crack 60mph on the Thunder II yet, even with the double click, but I had a small headwind and wasn't able to complete the opposite direction run due to traffic. More speed runs on Monday. I've got acceleration curves with and without the double click and one where I switch modes half way through. It's kind of cool that it shows up so clearly in the data. I can definitely feel it too. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide yessir !!! And the range of the thunder 2 is surprisingly insane. 51 miles on max settings and still had 5 volts of juice left
I'd like to say I'm looking forward to confirming that, but the long range scooters we've been testing have more range in them than I do ;-) We'll do our stadard range test on it though. Good to know that you broke 50 miles on it though! Thanks! -Paul
They should allow us to order a wolf x base with the sine wave controller but upgrade to the pro size battery
Definitely getting this one!
Nice! Let us know how you like it! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide for sure!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Just bought it. This thing is insane. I think the best upgrades are the taller handlebar height and thumb throttle. Thx for making this dope review!
I just bought a solar P1 2.0, but now I’m looking into this scooter for long range and speed.
Solar has other cool scooters to upgrade to like the P1 Pro! Great brand.
Enjoy the clip. I’ll take a black one please 🌻
Wolf gang 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
you guys are crazy to ride this at 50 mph+
not sure if i would trust the stability of those scooters at high speed vs road hazards.
they look fun to ride tho
We always advocate for safety equipment and checking all bolts before riding. -Vosk
I did 58mph on my wolf king...not the gt. I'm every bit of 220lbs.
They're really close on top speed. We got 59.4 mph from our Wolf King, so that makes sense. I'm also tucking down so far I'm looking through the handlebars when I do these speed runs -Paul
Thank you for the awesome review! Im still kicking around purchasing this beast and was wondering if replacing the tires are the same as on the GTR version?
In the GTR they are self healing so should be good. You can grab $50 off with code RIDERGUIDE , enjoy
excellent video! we are Maike, a Chinese scooter brand which has more than 6 years experience in scooter production. We want to invite you to make a testing video like this for one of our scooter, please let me know if you are interested in cooperating, we could discuss more details. many thank you!
I'd like to know your thoughts on the most reliable hyper scoots. I've been looking at the GT pro, Mars XT, LS7+, RS and the Yume Osprey. I see they all have problems with something but what would you recommend out of those scoots in the same category. Give or take with a $3000 budget.
Check out our latest best of 2024 video!
I'm 99% sold on this, of course, I was 99% sold on the Roadrunner, but after watching a few videos the acceleration on it seemed kinda low for me. And the awesome pro version's out of stock until like May or June. ESG's videos on this pretty much sold me. If anyone from Voro sees this, just a suggestion but you should come up with scooter specific discount codes. I mean saving money is saving money. But if I use ESG's code on a $1,399 Emove Cruiser I save $50. And if I use the same code on a $3,499 Wolf Warrior GT Pro I save... $50.
This is just my opinion but a scooter of this price should have a $100-150 off code. Either way, I'll be ordering this Monday unless a new Kaabo suddenly announces a new scooter out of nowhere. Wolf King GT Pro Plus w00p w00p edition with dual 4,000 watt motors perhaps?
Can’t go wrong with either but the KING GT is just a different beast. Hopefully we can have bigger discounts in the future but you can use code VORODELIVERY for $50 off
Thanks for making up my mind...This model is the one for ME...
Happy to help Kent. Once you try sinewave, it's hard to go back! -Paul
I have the dualtron victor 60v 30ah...a beast
Awesome! Glad to hear that! -Vosk
Awesome review 👍
Thank you Brandon! -Paul
So glad I found this channel before buying a scooter; such good information, you guys seriously know your stuff.
P.s. do you think you'll be reviewing the Dualtron X2 UP when it comes out? Mainly choosing between getting that or the Wolf GT in this video
Great review and yes it's a great unit ⚡💯
There's a video on UA-cam of the Wolf King passing cars in traffic and leaving them behind
I have the Mantis Pro SE and I want this now!!!!!!!
Both are awesome
Impressive! 🛴💨
Try to get your hands on a Hunter Quad, there is already a shop bringing them to the US, that's a beast of a scooter too, think it can go over 110 km/h easy peasy😀
For sure! Very exciting scooter! Would love to get some data on it! -Paul
I personally think it's overhyped for what it is. In the EUC world they are so much more efficient because they use a single motor and no moving parts beyond that and the suspension. Now the Hunter Quad brings us back to the stone age by putting on 4 zoom brakes 4 low power controllers and 4 motors for what reason? I don't like Wepeds but they do the same thing with two motors and two brakes and get better results...
@@danny-FL everything electric is overhyped today and overpriced for the moment i think, as for EUC yes more efficient, but only if you know how to ride it😁 not my case unfortunatly😅 never got on one and kinda intimidating doing it🤣🤣 so i'll stick to what i know best doing✌cheers
@@marianrosu9031 Yeah, its not for everyone. But I'm just saying I don't understand why that two wheeled scooter needs 4 of the same brake. For more maintenance and adjustment? So that it's easier to lock up the wheel? Because obviously if they wanted better braking performance they'd put some high quality brakes on it rather 4 cheap zoom brakes. Same goes for the motors and controllers, why 4? What's the advantage other than the fact that you can scream in the middle of the street that you have 4 of everything like they did on their presentation... A bronco xtreme 11 can get up to the same speed as that thing too...
I'd prefer double motors in the back and no motors in the front. Would make it much easier to exit corners. :-)
-Paul
Is there a chance you could review some of the solar scooters. They have just branched out to the US.
We are currently testing one of their scooters. Stay Tuned. -Vosk
I want the black one.
I want one and I'm 5'8, 165 lb. Y'all think it's too big or can the handlebars/stem go low enough comfortably?
Any chance you fine folks could put motor controller type in your database?
Once the scales of economy get the good sinewave controllers cheap enough, dare I say it, "a game changer"
I think this will have to happen soon. Up until recently, there have only been a couple scooters, but as it gets more widespread it would be handy to be able to search by motor controller type. -Paul
I'm happy with my zero 10x 60v hydraulic version. This scooter would just get me in more trouble tearing up the streets
That 60V version is a rare beast, and quick indeed! :-) -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide it really is I was scared at top speed untill I got a steering damper and air shock
Which shock do you have? I've always thought the 10X would be way better with more damping! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide it's made by DNM model number is AOY-36RC
Thank you!
This the best scooter i’ve seen so far.
Wait 6 months . . . it seems every few months I see a review that says *"NEW BEST SCOOTER"*
I am waiting for one that is good enough for my needs that has an honest 2-3 year warranty that covers everything except the usual wear and tear items.
Wishlist: 50mph with 200Lb. rider, ABS, flat proof pneumatic tires, 12" wide deck, 44" height from deck to handlebars and under $2,500 including tax and shipping
The Inokim OXO is due for an update.
Looks Badass
We agree! It’s a beast
I’m getting mine delivered today. I also bought the seat. My only concern is that I’m 5’7 and it’s gonna be a little difficult to reach the ground when I’m fully stopped.
Great! Please wear safety gear & drive safe. -Vosk
When down to 30% it takes close to 12 hours to charge it even with two charges connected
Thanks for watching
Can't decide between this and getting the Nami Burn E
The GT upgrade is surely my favourite.
Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks! I will when I get one.
Hi Paul, my Son bought a Kaabo Wolf King GT but ran into operational issues after riding it just 19 days. Kaboo Ltd are not being helpful in resolving the matter and seem to be offering a poor ‘call centre’ level of customer service. And all other repair companies seem to fall under their umbrella. Could you possibly recommend an independent person or company that could help him please? He lives in East London, UK. I think you will find his experiences after riding this scooter very interesting.
Hi there guys,being a big guy ,would you recommend the gt or the nami?...keep up the great reviews,carl
This is a good question. The Nami handlebars are 2" higher at about 42 inches (1.07m) from the deck, but either one is going to be really really good for taller riders. Ramier likes the GT better because he likes to ride fast, and even after adjusting the suspension on the NAMI the GT has better high speed stability. I like both of them, but I like the NAMI suspension better. The GT is a lot less expensive though. -Paul
Had to come back to this video, serious about riding with the big boys, ready to Rambo. Getting a real scooter now.
Awesome! Enjoy your new beast! -Vosk
🤗But how tall is our friend Raymir tho??? Just wondering how the scooter would fit me being 6.3 with work boots on!
RAMIER is 6-3
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks... Sorry for the misspell too
Have you not heard of Blade Z? Also uses 50a controllers or maybe 55a... Can't remember exactly, but I bet it can get way higher than 61mph.
2:15 my theory is that at low voltage the scooter pumps more "juice" to be able to maintain the same level of performance.
Thanks for the tip
-Vosk
It's crazy how my 65 pound Mantis Pro can accelerate almost on par with these giants. But man these new scooters from Kaabo(King GT) and Apollo(Phantom) are starting to beat the sexiness out of my Mantis! And they look tempting to upgrade to with all those fancy new settings and waterproofing! But nah I still love mines and don't see myself getting an upgrade anytime soon. I can't wait to see what new scooters are coming out, especially from my favorite brand Kaabo(and maybe Dualtron but many of their scooters don't have rear fenders, which totally sucks)!
Can’t believe they submerged the controllers motor and batteries. I will be riding mine through the rain 🌧
Yea the testing was very very vigorous!
What level did y’all use for the Range test 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?
Top level
Hello. Excellent review, as always! Following your review on the Phantom V2, I bought the 60V model. I like it a lot, but I'm a big dawg with my 5p10, 240lbs, and I find the high speed suspension just not enough for my liking. Is the high-speed handling and suspension of the Wolf King GT Pro superior enough to make the switch?
It’s more firm then the phantom for sure! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide In all reviews of the Wolh King GT, it is said to have excellent handling at high speeds. If it's firmer than my Phantom, shouldn't it have better handling when the road has imperfections? I average 30 mph, and sometimes I find it lacks suspension at times. I understand that it is not a mountain bike, but at this speed, I would have liked better. Witch scooter you recommand for that? The Nami Burn E 2 max, Dualtron Storm...?
These are coming out of China for 500 dollars an there selling in America for how much?
This is a monster!
10:01 Not sure what you mean by "Fastest production scooter you can buy."
The Weped FS would spank this scooter in speed all day long.
Thanks for the comment Brandon.
If anyone has data to support their top speed claims, please contact me at ESG. Better yet, if anyone has a fast Weped and wants to come out and do a top speed run with me in Berkeley, I'd love to measure it and we'll include the data on our fastest scooters page (haven't added the GT to that page yet): The Weped SS made some lofty claims, but the only two GPS runs I've seen both put it at 56 mph.
electric-scooter.guide/best-rated/fastest-electric-scooters/
-Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide That would be a cool video to watch.
I am not sure about the Weped SS, but the Weped FS from what I've seen it pretty dang impressive when it comes to top speed.
I'd love to ride an FS and get some data on it. Two of the websites in the US that sell the FS state that they are made to order, so that would put them into the hand-built, non-production scooter category with the Rion, and the S1-X. -Paul
Wow 61 mph... Impressive 👍
Thanks! The speedo was indicating 63 in both the southbound and northbound speed runs, so I was really hoping I'd see >60 when I averaged the two runs together (to cancel out headwind/tailwind) and analyzed the data. So stoked to finally break the 60 mph mark! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide That is awsome.. Good to hear that the speed display of the scooter is accurate!
The speedometer is still slightly optimistic, showing 63 mph, but probably the closest I've seen. Especially considering that there is some wheel slippage going on at 61mph and full throttle. :-)
Why is Voro say that it's 18650 cells in the battery and not 21700 cells that you state in this video? This is the gt pro right?
Is it worth is though,spending that much on a scooter seems insane, because I want one
One year later and the price has gone up significantly... Shocking! 😆
Inflation and supply chain has made everything go up. -Vosk
I should have got this instead of the Emove Cruiser.
would anyone recommend to get this in the Uk or would you say as soon as police sees me with this they will try to impound it
Totally depends on your locality! -Vosk
I am excited and nervous at the same time I just ordered a wolfing gt and for the first e scooter Ive ever rode , it is kinda intimidating . Is it easy to ride ?
I have been wondering , I am short I am 5 foot 3 / 5 foot 2 .....are these bars too tall for me? It's what's stopping me from buying it and I can't find an answer online. Please help me ESG gang
A little tall bars but you should be fine.
I found pictures and videos of people with the bars lowered , thanks
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide you can lower the bars
I abs love all the upgrades on the gt. Any way possible that it can be ordered with left hand front braking and right hand rear braking. Im an avid downhill biker and it will throw me off to have my brakes reversed
Could always switch them on your downhill bike :-)
It's possible to reverse the brake lines. You just need to bleed them afterward. It will take up some (maybe all) of the extra slack in the brake lines though, since they would be making an "X" as they cross over in front of the fork.
I like them this way, since they are the same orientation as my motorcycle.
-Paul
Totally makes sence thanks for the reply
They just announced the kaabo mantis king gt!! Lol
Yea this is a older video! Thanks
The mantis is the puppy and the King GT is the Alpha of the pack
I can understand the comments not getting a response that have already been clearly answered, but when you specifically ask in the video for people to comment asking questions about what they would like to know, or what they would like reviewed and then to just ignore them seems pretty rude and makes me think maybe I should go to someone else for reviews. I don’t mean to offend at all, just hopefully constructive criticism.
I’m following you from Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you very much for your reviews
I would like to have an advices from you !
I live at the second floor with no elevator and I’m thinking to buy a new scooter 🛴 I had the spider limited but I sold it because the stem was moving to much and the tires are to thin and not tubless.
Which scooter would you recommend
I’ve 3 on my list
The storm for the removable battery (so I can lock it at the ground floor)
The thunder 2
And the Nami (but too expensive )
I will
Use it 80% in the city
If you have some more scooter that I can consider I will appreciate your help
Thanks and ciao 🇮🇹🙂🙏
Paul I need your help! I'm going to buy my first scooter and I'm torn between two.
First the Kaabo King GT $4,857
Second the Kaabo King Plus $3,897 both after tax. My question is it really worth the extra $1000 for the GT.
I dont care about the top speed but want this model for the bigger range so i can ride this at a lower speed around 30 35 mph and the motors will run cooler and the battery will last a long time. Ontop of that when you need power for hills its there. The only thing i want is a seat and a cargo rack
They are making a seat for this now!
S1x where can I see the s1x ...?
Would you guys recommend the Segway GT2 or this Wolf King GT Pro for overall daily use and for fun use?
Honestly you can’t go wrong with either! They are both really badass. -Vosk
Remier doesn't tell you about the rear suspension/bushing problem.
NO ITS NOT "BIG DOG" approved 💯.
That was a issue with the first batch of scooters that was quickly resolved! -Vosk
I don't see any reviews for the "Wolf GT Pro" that's on Fluid Free Ride's website (50mph, 60mi range, 1200W, 40A sine wave controllers, etc.). Is this just the Wolf King renamed as Wolf GT Pro, or something else?
It's actually a pretty cool update. We haven't ridden one, but they say it has a sinedrive controller. If that's true then the throttle response will be smooth like buttah! Water resistance should be much much improved over the previous Wolf Warrior as well. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Awesome! I recently ordered one so look forward to testing it out
