@@freshlycharged Whats the top speed ?
@@originalityisdead.9513 44. It’s basically Kaabos response to the Vsett 10 and they really made a statement with it
In Europe 2050 EUR
@NOBODY Yeah, this is the only thing I don't like about it. I feel it's priced a little too high.
I really love how each generation of electric scooters improves upon the previous, not just with Kaabo but other manufacturers like Nanrobot, Apollo, Voromotors, etc. The first generation wasn't so good and had quality control problems or didn't look good. The third generation of electric scooters have all ditched the small display screen for a larger one in the middle. Hopefully, IPX6 ratings, wheels larger than 10", steering dampeners, turn signals, electric horns become standard.
Next thing you're gonna ask for is a gas engine, handlebar warmers, a collision airbag, and cup holder on an anti-spill gimbal.
That garage is dreamy! All those scoots and that floor! The latching mechanism is nice!
Kaabo is hands down my favorite brand of scooters. Can’t wait until the upgraded model of the Wolf King GT comes out. I am currently saving up for whatever it may be.
Have u heard they are coming out with a replacement for the Wolfking GT?
The side lights look.like.a.1970s restaurant 😅 love it
As always, great content fellas! I really like the looks of this, if I was in the market for a new 10 incher, this would definitely be at the top of the list.
I just got my Mantis King GT and it came with working FRONT TURN SIGNALS!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
It is great to see scooter technology constantly advancing. That looks like a really nicely refined machine! 👍
Wouldn't it be awesome if Onewheel had competing brands, all rushing to bring out more refined and improved Onewheels?
You guys think the nami burn e2 is woth 1k more over this? Looking forward to your full review.
awesome video! btw, where did you guys get the helmet with the silver visor, it looks sick!
Safety gear link in the description
I don’t know if you have already created one. I would love to see you guys make a video about your safety gear, recommendations for helmets, pads, ect.
You guys are always giving us the best reviews about e-scooters!
Ride safe always!🤟🛴
I love your channel, such great information. Thank you!
Normally I don't watch the unboxing part. But when I do it's with Jimmy and Andrew.
FINALLY, Kaabo worked on their 10" series and it looks NICE!!!
Can you answer this question? What is the creaking noise when he jumps off the curb in the beginning of the video? Does it always make weird noises when you’re jumping?
This Mantis looks amazing 👌
I own a 2022 model mantis pro SE. Honestly, the biggest changes to me are the folding mechanism and the suspension being adjustable. It looks like those parts could be swapped out with my scooter too, so I could easily get those features on mine.
Would you choose this scooter or the phantom v3?
I will recommend this video on Electric Scooter Podcast Episode 89 as a “MUST Watch.” Great job as always!
just got mine with 200 miles on it for 1100 usd. love it.
How do you compare this with the Vsette 10+ ?
Next review remember to talk about maintenance. Does this have easy to change tire with a way to disconnect the motors? If the rotors are 140mm how thick are they and how does this compare? How easy will it be to break that display does it hit anything when you fold. Are the screws soft metal or aluminum. kickstand strength etc. I owned two scooters and both were a complete nightmare to fix especially the kaabo wolf warrior with that stupid front fork.
whoever designed the display, honestly the UI is beautiful....even more so on the GTR with that snake/s mode symbol is bad ass and the accelerator curve design on the display is even better. I can also see where michael sha took inspration from for the klima!
Don't know which I like more, the scooter or your garage. LOL! Nice setup.
No kidding, I wish I could do that with my garage, but in TX I think it gets too hot to store anything with a battery.
Can't wait to get it! Pre-ordered last week! So excited 😊
I just got mine from Voromotors, has welded stem, new fender and v2 neck. Impressive performance but the shocks are terrible, I'm 200lbs and im crushing these shocks, I have ordered new 130mm 1500lb replacements.
The control module on the left handlebar works better on the right side, your thumb will thank you. A 130x is a great replacement for the flimsy throttle, you will need to swap the +5v and the sensor wire in the cable for it to work with the Kaabo controller though, gingeronwheels did the swap on his wolf king and explains how to modify the new throttle to work.
And you know a product review company this is important thank you
This scooter has gears? I just pre ordered one. Are there different modes like turbo or eco modes? I've never owned my own scooter yet and have only ridden rentals. Thanks
whats better sine wave or square wave driver
YAY!!! Another Jimmy Chang Video!!
Still waiting for answer, did you offer advice scooter as a prize recently?
@@unclemikecruz you mean like a giveaway?
To Jimmy Chang yes did he offer a e scooter as a giveaway promotion?
@@unclemikecruz no
How heavy it is ? Can I fold it and carry it on tube ?
It was nice of you to support those kids selling lemonade! Oh and nice scooter!
man look at all those PEVS.... can I hang with ya one day? lol IDK if my explore can keep up .. Happy riding!
How many hours to charge for the first time?
Best t-shirt (DON'T FALL) ever!
Impossible!!!!!! not to fall on a self balancing one wheel skateboard.

Yes !
Hello !!
Where can i buy a led deck/board for Mantis King GT??
Thanks ✌️
In Denmark the mantis King gt is 3000$ on most websites. Luckily i found a guy who sells it for the normal price because He buys it directly from the manufacturer. But i was so shocked after seeing the price on voromotors because them danish websites set the standard prices very High.
Im definetly getting a mantis King or Wolf warrior x gt. Your reviews on these scooters has helped me come further in my decision, so Thank you for the great vids 🙂. Now im just waiting to see when the new Kaabo scooters are releasing, though they might be very expensive.
Did you guys experience a little shimmer from the front wheel?
Hi! Thanks for sharing. What is the correct name of the Kaabo Mantis King GT's lighting app. ?
Good review, however i think that these scooters would benefit from larger wheels say 13" or 14". Larger wheels mean greater stability at high speeds.
How say you?
Larger tires are definitely safer, but impact the nimbleness of the scooter. It truly depends on what type of riding you are looking to do.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Agreed. Nevertheless, at 35 mph or greater, things happen fast.
There are scooters with larger wheels/tires. You have to decide how portable you want your scooter to be. This scooter does fine up to 35mph. Faster than that and it gets a bit twitchy. That being said I've done pretty long rides where I'm going 40+ without much issue because I'm used to it now. If you want to be going over 40mph consistently I would say to get a larger (100+ pound)scooter.
Love those tires I have the apollo explorer 10×3 would these mantis hybrid tires fit?
Hey what app do you use to change the light colors
Hi I want to buy one of these but hear about issues with bolts getting loose and the stem becoming loose. Is the mantis king gt reliable and well built or does it require lots of maintenance?
can u guys mention anything about waterproofness of these scooter? I'm rly interested in how this performs in snowy or wet conditions.
Very good review!! I was waiting to open the deck, see battery and controllers (same with Blade 10, Blade X controllers you had in your hands)...
Waiting for the full review with measurements specs and finally thoughts...!!🧐
An idea.. if you still have blade X scoot, but them side to side and compere them.!🤩🤩
What model is your bell helmet?(Black and gold one)
You guys have all the good toys
Is it available to buy now? I keep seeing “pre-order”
Ali Express
Their website says 27a controller, then 30a controller. Not sure which one is right.
Which scooter to choose vsett 10 + lite 20.8 Ah or Kaabo Mantis King GT mileage 1200 miles per year
electric scooters and you have the electric truck!!!
Badass!!!! stay Rollin my friends!!!!
I seriously love how no matter how many scooters a specific manufacturer can push out, they never, EVER get the mudguards right, surprised you guys never touched on how flexible that rear guard was, it's taking km's off that tyre, not to mention, if there is a brake light in it, it's gonna get eaten and cause a short, just like every other scooter.
That's a good eye! They sent this to us with a prototype fender but assured us they would send one with production units that does not slap the rear fender. The one that came with this preproduction model is not rigid enough.
@@Andrew-vt4jt hahah, I have had pretty wonderful scenarios play out thats to floppy fenders on scooters, It always one of the first things I check out when looking at scooters, ever since my first Dragon scooter and my x10 I have a bit more of a higher standard than most I feel.
Glad to hear they mentioned something stronger, its about time we see a change in the guards/fenders front
I got mine with the old fender mounted and the new fender in the box. The new fender design is rock solid.
@@ENCXBG1 glad to hear it!
Now check back in a couple of months and let us know if the guard has been destroyed because its too rigid now ;)
@@JamiePineappleWyatt I don't see how. The new guard is just a much shorter version of the original. It also hasn't been cut down. It's a new product.
Looks to be a cool scooter, but one of my biggest concerns about all the scooters on the market is the throttle sensitivity! it doesn't feel safe and cool when the scooter is kicking so fast...
I completely agree. I tried out a new dual-tron and even setting it in the safest way possible when you're going at slow speeds it just Zips out from under you I think it's actually dangerous in the road
@@merczxc what do you mean every scooter i tried (4-5 models) had a responsive trottle on my kaabo wolf warrior 11+ i can use highest setting max power and ride it with 1 hand at 5 km speed ....
I was under the impression this one has a smooth sine wave controller? I haven't tried the throttle of this scooter, so I wouldn't know, but I was watching this review because apparently one needs to spend $3000 and upwards just to avoid jumpy throttles with trapezoidal wave controllers. I love my new ($1000) scooter, but I am seriously annoyed by the apparent on-off function of the hall type throttle. It seems unnecessary.
So is this one's throttle just as bad?
Thanks!
The way the power settings operate on this scooter you can make it behave as mild as you like. The throttle is only sensitive on setting 4 and 5 in dual motor mode.
@@ENCXBG1 thanks for the input 👍
Negative 72 pounds- what size tire? Like the extra spring safety lock. Nice tires. Same as the e-cruiser for turn signal and horn. Nice scooter over. Like the upgrades.
What is the phone app? I can't find it in play store.
A mantis with a taste of the Vsett 10+. Pretty cool
How to heck do I get into the advanced settings? I just can’t figure it out.
Great video but what I'm really interested in is that Fobos in the background;)
Weight limit?
That little red quick release latch isn't new. It's been on the Kugoo M4 pro for ages...
I've been dying to buy an affordable scooter, what can you recommend, also can you help me where could I purchase I'm here at Guam... Thank you in advance
Mantis King GT or nami e burn? Thanks
So when will the review be out? Guess they have put a embargo on that since everyone just have “unboxing and first ride”
what the controller spec?
Great video! I've always wondered, would keeping the LED lights off add to battery life during a ride? Oh wait can you keep them off?
LED lights are very efficient, they barely use any energy compares to those two huge motors rated at 1.1kW so keep the light on for safety sake and run the scooter in FWD mode or slow down to extend your range.
@@sevenohnine thanks! Till now that question would influence my choice of scooter.
The LEDs only come on with the headlight. You can turn them off in the app so they don't come on with the headlight, but I don't know why you wouldn't want them on at night. You can also adjust them to any color.
Works electric scooter please review, also any info on Suru cycles can you confirm if they're still in business. They look like well built bikes.
I've never heard of either brand. I'll research it for us.
did they address the motor cut off issues? I heard it was a wire grounding. really want to pull the trigger on this one.
How would you guys compare this to the nami burn e 2 (not max) obv the nami is better but is it $1000 better? These seem pretty close in features and specs with the nami only slightly edging it which makes me feel like the mantis king gt is a phenomenal scooter for the price.
I was waiting for this :) nice one :) :) nice ....love the practice skid :) :) Folding mechanism looks like the new Ghost 2022 model
Can u review the Yume s10 plz
I couldn’t help but notice the Fobos Model X in the background. Is there going to be a review on that soon or have you done it already and I just missed it?
Our unboxing and initial impressions on the FOBOs X will be coming out next week.
Niu got the best locking stem mechanism 💯💯💯
When is the full revirs coming?
Have y’all ever done a review on a tif gallop scooter just curious? Saw one the other day and it was pretty cool,looked it up and the price wasn’t to bad either 😊
I love your vans shoes! Would you share the model please?
Will you do a review on the new Teverun scooters?:-)
I have been speaking with the Teverun owners about review their scooters.
@@Andrew-vt4jt excellent:-)
Hi guys .. question for you: Does it have split rims for easy puncture repair/change while riding or how quick an easy is a punture repair on a mantis.. never seen a video about this on reveiws of new scooters.. thanks guys
Owner here, yes it does. Make sure you heat up that main axel bolt because it has strong lock tight on it.
looks great but where's the challenger Chang?
Lot's of comments on the 10" tires .. Please take a few seconds in your review to talk about the tires - size / tread / tube / tubules differences
Very good point! This comes with tube in pneumatic tires.
Noooo, I'm not the first to comment!
Cooollll scooter!
Funny thing or not so funny thing. Hardest tire I’ve ever had to change was a scooter tire. What a complete PITA So watch out for those skids it could lead to pain and frustration quicker
Same tires as my wolf warrior x they are great for being 10x3’s
How do you do that slide in the beginning
All rear brake into the slide. Start slow at first and work on your balance.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Thanks man ill give it a shot, should I throw my weight in the direction of the slide or counter opposite?
Wow inlove with this scooter🤤
Good looking scooter, I think people will be cross shopping between this and a wolf warrior X
The X will be nice for the double stems, but you can avoid the wolf suspension, specifically the rear, by going this route and it’s fully customizable / adjustable
Good scooter, I’m betting money they will soon release a Wolf Warrior X GT that also incorporates the screen
0:03 and already a second take on the skid.
Lol, good eye! I thought I could do better than the first one but they pretty much had the same trajectory. Don't respond to that fake scam post. Please flag it so UA-cam blocks the account.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Done m8
What is the escooter at the back?im planning to buy vsett 9 or vsett 9+ what is better because in my work n house we have a stair.thanks
If you are comparing the VSette 9+ and the Kaabo Mantis King GT, I would get the Kaabo. I have both and the Mantis King GT is a major step up. I would also look at the VSette 10+ though.
his garages' value is like a year of rent for me
Hey Jimmy and Andrew : through your collection of scooters, can you provide a list of top to bottom(meaning the #1 all around favorite and #35 least favorite/used). I know you guys tested the X11 from Yume but everytime I see your videos it is collecting dust in the garage...
I love it over the wolfs how’s the suspension and bolts
can u put the display and throttle on the warrior 11?
I hope scooter manufacturers will get the memo that all new models should come with flat resistant tires. Tubes need to go the way of the dinosaur. I wonder if this will be tubeless like the Wolf King?
Definitely bro!!
We need more solids like the pegasus.. I got over 500 miles on my pegasus and still going strong, only had to adjust breaks. That's it, no flats.... If anyone road tested that bad boy more than me speak up.. 😆 I also off road with my pegasus just fine.
The only thing I don't like is the less than top end weight limit.
I noticed they dropped it down. Its probably due to the hydraulic suspension ratings. They look like they could be swapped out for higher rated suspension.
Please review also the teveron fighter 11+.
No more steering damper kit? They blocked off the mounting point for it.
Surprisingly, the scooter is very stable at high speeds without a steering damper. The adjustable suspension helps out a ton.
@@Andrew-vt4jt I understand it's stable but there are many circumstances on the daily, especially lateral forces under cornering, that a damper helps absorb. This protects the rider from it yanking or initiating a wobble. It isn't the same thing as stable geometry on a well designed scooter. That's good to hear that it is stable. It appeared so in the video but I hope it gets a damper kit still!
Scooter is almost perfect. I believe the top speed should be touching near 50mph instead of 43mph
I'll be doing some GPS speed tests in the full review.
It goes actually 46 on the dot, but I've seen reaching 49 almost 50
Can you compare it to the new varla eagle 1 pro?
I'd like to have one like this! I like this model.!
Win! Earn what?? ☺️🤣
