I had always said I never wanted to test this scooter because of the stem snapping issue. I'm afraid of breaking my wrist *cough cough* 😅 or worse. Thanks for taking one for the team.
It seems like a decent scooter for light- midweight riders, but there are probably better options. When you slow down you get weak brake lights and when you accelerate your stem snaps. 🤷♂️
I'm 95kg had this scooter for 2 months, the stem has been fine. I get 62kph on flat terrain. The only issue I've had is I get disc brake rubbing on the front wheel. My brother has crashed it, a car pulled out on him and the brakes are so sharp he flipped over the stem. Still no issues with the stem even after that.
Adam Smith EXACTLY
@@adamsmith8283 I think a lot of people pull on the handle bar during acceleration and not enough bracing on the back foot rest. Thereby putting a large amount of pressure on the stem. It's fine for low powered scooters but for something with the torque of the Mantis (and other high powered scoots) you need to really use the the foot rest and lean forward. I did see Adam doing that which is great but it's a common occurrence with a lot of other scooter users. Not excusing the faults that people have had on their stems... but just one contributing factors in stem breaking on high torque scooters. My Mantis Pro stem has been fine as well, going on nearly 4 months of use.
I did a lot of research and tried whichever one I could before deciding on the Kaabo Mantis. I looked at the Zero10X, Inokim Ox, Dualtrons and factored in price, weight, build, battery, brakes, throttle and controller and the Mantis always came back as the one for me.
30kg ok?
K Chan agreed, but if we want scooters to be more widely accepted we must allow for safety precautions at levels so high even moron would be safe.
As a Mantis Pro owner, i must agree on the top speed. But for being a 60V and 24.5aH battery weighing that little is very impressive. The 10X is built solid but it is not agile. Nobody rides at full speed for super long distances so that top speed won't matter to most riders. The rubber don't flap when you're riding because your foot is resting on there. Come on bro you can't be that bias. There is only that one guy that snapped his stem in Malaysia or Philippines but those were the early models. People are jumping these off dirt bike tracks and don't have problems. Like these reviews but not this very one since i own one. And i don't know where you reside but riding like that will surely get you injured or even killed one day. From an accident or just pissed off other motorists. Ride safe and live to ride another day.
I am thinking of buying a Mantis Pro and since your comment is 1 year old I am curious what you think of your Mantis after 1 year.
Any issues so far? Have you driven in different weather conditions? Would really like to hear your thoughts :)
Agree, mantis is a belting scooter, especially for the money, zero 10x is a tank. I understand about the manner of his riding, but to be fair in his country this is the normal, if he tried this in the UK he'd be in the slammer within an hour.
@@multipreach2674 So you could say that they drive the scooters harder than the average person would do?
I mean if so then some of the issues might be non existent for an average driver that say only drives on flat asphalt, don't jump curbes and don't drive off-road. At least for me this is a positive since I will only be driving on asphalt in bike lanes. 🙂
@@sebulbathx The stem broke on his mantis and he died in a traffic accident
@@FDCLDN Damn that is a serious flaw then. Especially if it broke without any warnings or some early signs that it would break. Makes me a little cautious buying one but maybe they have fixed any issues in regards to the stem breaking?
Respect for posting the video in spite of your accident, hope you recover completely. I myself still have a metal rod in my hip after falling off my bike while riding it on ice 1,5 yrs. ago.
Regarding the Mantis, I have seen only one video of a Mantis motor being disassembled and it turned up to be a geared motor, not a direct drive one as it is for most e-scooters. I suppose that's the reason why starting from a stand still is so great, but it's lacking in top speed. That video showed the motor of a 800W single drive model, but I expect the dual to have the same technology.
And just as a side note : the M2 Pro is around 1650 euro in Romania (yes, the one with the 24Ah LG battery).
Oo Thanks for the Long waited Rewiew, my Kaabo Mantis Pro is coming in 2-3 weeks :)
I like my Mantis Pro, I did add the fender extender because the fender is a bit short. I find the top speed fast enough for riding on a vehicle that only has 10" wheels. The acceleration is pretty fun.
I got the Kaabo Mantis Pro about 2 months ago and I def hit 40mph on it when fully charged. The acceleration is absolutely insane. I did wreck though and fractured my collar bone and finger. I healed for about a month though and am already back on the scooter. Great great purchase!
finally the test i was waiting for a long time
I own this scooter and after nearly 2000km I'm very satisfied. I ride it mainly in the city on bike paths with usual bumps and tram rails to pass. I had to enhance the suspension using new elastomeric tubes from e watts fr website as I weigh around 85kg, standard ones are OK for up to 85 I would say. I also changes the main screws for the bolt and suspension with a better grade steel. Had to add some elastic glue under the gum carpet of course. Minimotors display, hydrolic brakes and lg battery helped me make my choice, Zero 10x is missing some bits I wanted. I would argue that the key or remote is unnecessary if you buy a bigger Wildman bag and a small, light U lock.. Just lock your scooter physically to a bike stand when you leave it, and set engine start not from 0 but on the move so that nobody plays with it when it's parked and physically locked. I added a front light with independent battery as well. I ride it on gear 2 which is about 45 km/h max, I try to ride 35-45 in a helmet, lights always on, not to injure myself or anyone.
Range?
Thanks for review, been waiting for you to do that since the unboxing 2 weeks ago. Only 4 weeks until my MP arrives (hopefully). Really looking forward to that. Top speed is not really important to me. Its more the zero 9 I have slows down a bit too much on hills so want a little more oomph. From what you said about the brakes I suspect they need bleeding as they should stop better than that.
Just got my dual 500W Kaabo Mantis 8, my first scoot, and I frickin' love it. Cheers! Also...the fit and finish on my Mantis is near perfect, except for the electronic horn, which has sadly been inop.
I have mantis 8 inch, it has a some of the things solved: The fenders are longer, the leds blink like crazy when braking, it has turning signals. And I really dont want to go any faster, even less so when I heard about your hand. :D So only problem is the holes everywhere in the body of the scooter..I am fine with 50 km/h in full motorcycle gear... If I have my helmet only I try to stay at bikepaths and go around 40 km/h max
I have the mantis 8 pro and it’s awesome
I think they should stop sending scooters for you to review Adam. Your heart is just not into scooters anymore... it’s all about the EUC’s for you methinks! And ever since you rode the Rion, everything changed for you regarding scooters. Every scooter review since has had a “meh” undertone about them. Plus, a broken hand isn’t going to endear you to the device you broke it on. Speedy recovery mate.
Just so you know for future reference, 'methinks' is a single word.
@@DanceySteveYNWA Why thank you grammar Nazi! Corrected!
6:50 you can charge it up to 5A, so pretty fast :). Mantis PRO has better acceleration, but worse top speed because of the new motors. I think that speed is more than enough, but the acceleration is more fun. 1470 Wh is superior to 10X 1250Wh. Front suspension is now upraded, stem bolt issue can be fixed by 3rd party solutions. I saw broken stem bolt on 10X too, kaabo just have handlebars higher so the bar is longer and therefore is higher force pulled to the stem bolt. TBH I was expecting some physical comparison with 10X :).
The mantis 10v2 has none of these problems and is durable so if you buy another mantis I highly recommend that you get the 10v2
Hi Adam, I know you have mentioned it before in a video but what app do you use for the range testing. Cheers and keep up the great content
Damn I guess the Mantis didn't appreciate the review. Hope for a speedy recovery, get well soon!
I wish you good recovery for your hand, please be gentle while it's happening 🙂
What would you recommend to avoid that happening, I guess the typical wrist guards are not exactly compatible with scooter's handlebars?
Nice ride man and I did look at getting a Mantis but ended up with the Dualtron Mini
@LittleJohn_MD ~ How do you like the Dualtron Mini? I'm considering getting one. Would you recommend it? I'm waiting for Wrong Way to review it.
NoProGoPronto I love it, the deck is nice and wide, the suspension is good and a rock solid build. Bit heavy at 22kg plus all the bags and batteries I have on it so it will give you a good workout 😁 I pre filled the tires with slime and so much easier to inflate unlike the Xiaomi motor wheel. The one thing I have not done yet but I will be this week as I’m on holiday from work is to waterproof any ingress areas i.e. where the cables enter the deck plate, eye controller etc. I am using Plasti Dip for that job. Most electric scooters are not waterproof so I want to look after mine and as we live in the UK we get plenty of rain and big puddles 😂😂👍
I’ve had the mantis pro se and have hit 40mph on the flats no problem. It’s interesting how these 40mph scooters seem to differ yet they are all made in the same Chinese factories
the cast says enough! totally getting this
Hope you feel better! Thanks for the review. Weird about the top speed. I get the advertised 40mph (and even 43mph) on a fully charged battery (GPS). When at 75% I only get about 36 mph.
I also get 40mph on the mantis and I weight 100kg.
You are not reviewing the latest V3, so your comments on the stem are irrelevant. Also, you did not adjust the suspension; but are quick to comment that it’s stiff. Not a professional review.
I think hes reviewing what the company sent him... not what he can set up....
@@rexlu6553 👍possibly.
He is quiet a recless rider though. 😎
Not irrelevant, but outdated
i'm literally only 52kg and i don't even want to ride fast...just that insana acceleration. I'm also gonna ride mostly on road, is this adequate for me?
Mam dylemat czy wybrać Kabo mantis gt czy Techlife x7s? Nie mogę znaleźć i ocenić która ma mocniejszy moment, plusy i minusy. Pomożecie?
Hey dude great vid as always. I've been looking for coupon/discount for the Kaabo Mantis and Zerro 10x for a long time now but no luck...can you help you think pls?
Have you tested the Blade 10D plus or EVo scooters im hearing good things about that brand of scooter in comparison to Kaabo Mantis pro and zero 10x
Where can I get the bracket bar mount that everyone has on their mantis handlebars ?, I need one to attach my LED light for night rides ? Thanks
Review the Blade 10 selling on Ebay. Looks 🔥
The suspension can be adjusted to make it softer
Dostałeś jakąś zużytą wersję, guma na decku normalnie jest znacznie lepiej przyklejona i nie lata. Realna prędkość to 60-65kmph (gps) przy silnikach generacji 2 (nie wiem jaka była w tym egzemplarzu. Problem z pękającym zaczepem został już zasadniczo rozwiązany. Ładowarkę można zmienić na mocniejszą, do 5A max. Na kołach w powietrzu wersja V2 wyciąga 99 i kończy się licznik. Może miałeś moc silnika ograniczoną w kontrolerze, niektórzy dystrybutorzy tak je ustawiają.
Nice , more vid on kaabo pro pls
I think the Honghao s12 could compare also a bit with the mantis the honghao has got 2600w dual motor, hydraulic brakes , 20AH battery also 30kg i ve got the honghao s12 2020 model upgraded and it s much better than the old ones there is no more stem breaking problem,no more suspension problem and etc.. :)
Just a super clean video
Thx!
Which scooter to choose vseet 10 + lite 20.8 Ah or Kaabo Mantis King GT mileage 1200 miles per year
the stuff you put yourself through for us, these companies should offer you insurance lol, hopefully your hand heals up soon!
Being in Europe I would assume he already has insurance. The only major country that's idiotic enough to tie healthcare to employment is our good ol' USA.
@@hec231 its called a joke
Don't care. I take any opportunity to shit on our barbaric "healthcare" system.
Do you get more range when riding in single mode?
Jakie ma znaczenie prędkość powyżej 50km/h? :) gdzie tym będziesz jeździć z taką prędkością i w jakim kraju jest kręcone wideo ze jedziesz pomiędzy samochodami, chyba w stanach 😆
I don't understand why all scooters have problems with the column / stem.
I was undecided between mantis and Mx60.
I got the mx60 because it looked like a tank and because I knew about the broken stem of some mantis.
But a few days ago, in the group of fb, a boy reported the broken column.
Now I’m scared to use it.
Hello, very nice video ! Can I use excerpts from the video (without sound) to illustrate what I'm saying in my video?
This is for a french presentation video. Thank you for your reply. Yours sincerely 😉
Does anyone know the size of the Nuts on the Axle on the Kaabo Mantis Pro please? Thanks very much indeed
Thank you for your sacrifice!
Is the 10x good for 90kg load
Interesting that you weren't a fan of this Adam, as Electric Scooter Guide rated it the best in its class. And had a tall rider over 100KG also test it, and he loved it for big guys. I think you've got EUC fever now, and I am sure breaking your hand on it didn't help - the thing that worries me about these versus a EUC is how small the wheels are.
Very dangerous run at red light at 2:03 You could have got into life threatening condition if one of those trucks turned. You need to follow the rules and respect it! Kind of disappointed but otherwise great review.
Mahad Mohamed I see green??
@@decoyloony4121 first light was green, the last was not.
How much range do you get on the mantis pro!?
what is the maximum real range approximately? Person weight approximately 85 kg..
Nice vidéo ! The question is would buy it for you now that you tried it ?? Thank's
No! I would buy a electric wheel
Can't decide which scooter I should buy.... the Mantis Pro, The Speedway 5 or the Dualtron Eagle Pro. Can someone help?? Thanks.
sam gerrish same thing here. Kaabo mantis pro, dualtron eagle pro, zero 10X or the nanrobot D6+. I need to get it in the trunk of a mercedes c.
😂😂😂 buy the INMOTION v11. That’s funny but I have one coming just hope it comes really soon
Yeah I thought that was hilarious too. Not usually the conclusion you see at the end of a scooter video.
V11 is as euc
Keith Johnson obviously, that’s the joke.
Looks like with every new version Mantis is slower. I got first version and it can go up to 70km/h. V2 is 65km/h and now it is hard to each 60 :(
Nice, thx! :)
Oh man, it's so hard to watch a product review where the reviewer had already made a negative opinion rather than stay un-bias about the product. Little imperfections on the product can be mitigate by the majority of the people out there who would buy this scooter simply for the weight and the 60V system.
My battery seems to charge just fine at 6A, it hasn't caught on fire or anything at least.
Aw man I love your reviews. However as a mantis pro owner I can't understand why you're down about it. My friend has a zero 10x and we both agree my scoot is far better. Did you drop it?
Really? Thanks! That’s helpful. I’m thinking of getting a scooter for guests. Something for a novice to ride and keep up with my V11.
Reviews scooter...recommends V11 EUC at the end.
🤣😂🤣😂
Not sure why he’s such a mantis hater maybe ffr won’t pay him??? 🤣🤣🤣
@J B
And wont be the last.🤣😂😉
@@johncreasy9991 Not a Mantis hater its just that riding an EUC is a whole other level to riding electric scooters.
Adams advice is excellent, and hes totally right about the v11.
Simon Scheuerle that’s awesome but I’ve never seen him review an EUC and tell you to buy a scooter instead lol. Anyway I hope to try and EUC someday
@@johncreasy9991 True, it was a funny conclusion for a scooter review, probably breaking his hand on the Mantis may have effected the conclusion.
And you should definitely try an EUC. It's takes some learning but the payoff (the feel of the ride) is totally worth it. TBH I haven't ridden either of my electric scooters since I got my EUC, it's that good 👍
I love your videos but man, you need to do something about the bitrate, it's full of artefacts.
Hm i have to check on that
Easy and Fun to use
At the end you state that you get better brakes on the Mantis when compared to the 10x yet earlier in the video you state that the Mantis Zoom brakes are inferior when compared to the Nutt brakes which the 10x has. So which is it?
He also says that the Mantis suspension is less bouncy, then he goes and says 10X is more comfortable...so wich it is...
@@-joo3033 That one makes sense. Less bouncy on the Mantis means more stiff. More stiff means less comfortable than the 10x which is not as stiff. But the brakes thing is a real contradiction.
Good quality product. Correct, fast transport service.
I am 6'5 205 lbs and I only get 30mph on my Kaabo Mantis pro )= Is that normal?
You are nearly 7ft tall standing on the scooter. Not wind resistant lol
Got my zero 10x 24ah yesterday, it’s enough power for me
Bought in the UK or US?

There is No such thing as 24ah zero 10x...
@@-joo3033 “23ah”
@@ENDOPRYSMyt how has it been ?, how many miles (Or kilometers) , any problems?
Malo tego niedosc ze gosc nie robi juz PL filmow na dodatek usowa niektore posty...
Watch your musick cuts in too loud🔊.Great videos.
Thx.
Are the MANTIS more powerfull than zero 10x or turbo wheel lightning?
Mantis uses 2000 watts extremely well. I love acceleration more than pure speed
No you can get the 1200w 10x which is faster. The Mantis build quality ain't the best. Theres only 4 kg difference in weight
Josh Stick I concur. Mantis is not popular because it’s the fastest. But because it’s light and torquey for its size. It’s also cool looking and highly portable at 60lbs for the base. it is different and not based onT10-DDM like Apollo turbowheel Zero etc. plus 4K is a lot of extra weight if you live in the city.
I must say I don't like the speed you ride close to pedestrians.
PL: Bardzo nie podoba mi się prędkość, z jaką mijasz przechodniów. Trzeba mieć trochę wyobraźni jednak...
conclusion: if you prefer to die earlier buy the Inmotion v11 :D
zero 10 x is a beast gone up mountains with battery to spare
I own this Mantis // Awsome and Fast
Come on, your recommendation should be gotway msp 😏
To be more specific, it should be the Msuper Pro High Speed version 😁
where are the rear view mirrors? That's one of the most important safety rules.
More UA-camrs need to make POV videos with the speed limit. Not much content out there hope someone realizes this
Czyli to nadal sie nie umywa do techlife x7 czy techlife x7s prawda? Nie wspominajac o tych chinskich laotie es18 jak u pirata za 5000zl.?
Kokego techlife to jedynie od modelu 8 w gore.. X9 jest mega fajna... I niestety ale cie rozczaruje wszystkie hulajki sa chinskie.. Tylko np mantis ma ogniwa firmowe co jest bardzo wazne.. Mialem smietnik zwany laotie ti30.. I nigdy wiecej. Po nalocie 4000km bateria smietnik.. Odcinalo kiedy chcialo.. Nie wspomne o mega uujowym wykonaniu przeszczalo luz na luzie.. Masakra
Zero10x is a beast
People say this scooter around 500 mile will fall apart .?
V11 ❤️
Best conclusion ever! Buy an EUC lol :D
Im getting the xiaomi m365
Sold my 10x after buying an euc... lol.
honda silverwing 600 miałem gość na niej ma chyba ze 150 kg :x wystartowal spokojnie bo generalnie mierzyłem racelogiciem ja wiele razy za każdym razem robila 3,0 sek do 50 km/h wiec powinna od razu ci odjechać na tym mantisie pro no z 150 kg gościem byłoby ze 3,6 sek wiec ciagle powinien ci odrazu odjechać :x ciekawe czy x9 by podjechala pod te 35 stopni :x ogolnie spoko sprzet nieliczac tej trochę slabszej konstrukcji w porównaniu do x7 z tego wwzgledu gdybym wybieral to x7 bym wziął :x .
Hey 👋 did you break your arm in a scooter accident?!
No, I broke my wrist when riding this scooter
Zero 10x 52v version has even lower top speed than the mantis pro at around 36mph.Mantis pro is still quicker accelerating up to it's max speed than the 60v Zero 10x which has 1/2mph higher top speed nothing noticable.. and u get like 64km/h out of the mantis pro .. that's what it's rated for - 40mph! Why did you think it would be faster? :D You have wrong info being rated for 45mph.Nice effort on the video , all the best!
nice
im 90 kilos, that means that i should not buy it ? bs..its fine even if you weight 100
Not surprised you fell you always take your hands off the scooter 🤣🤣 pretty poor review did you have a old version of the pro ? My brothers one seems very well built and comfy does around 60-62kph
brick wall test 10:36
Witam czemu już nie masz kanału po Polsku ?
He reviews the bloody 10x more than the mantis
I got 76 kmh and still accelerating
Impossible...27A controllers just cant do that
Your speedometer is wrong, not possible on mantis pro
Nice job. Get well soon. Kaboo Mantis Pro is just a stiff toy. Do you know, that someone else is imitating you with your intro "wrong way" on a other channel?

Sorry dude. Just review euc's. Unfollowing you for the v11 thing.
The truth hurts eh
Yo mate, you do realize that you should be getting like 500-800 pln ticket right ? Why the hell would u break so many traffic rules on one video, why the hell are you recording yourself being bloody annoying to other traffic members, and why the hell would u even publish a video with so many traffic offenses when people not only know ur name and surname and can report You, more importantly they will copy your reckless behavior on the street.

Watching you i am against escooters being allowed on the road at all, even though i actually want to buy one !
