Kaabo Mantis Dual 1000W 60V 24.5 Ah LG

The Kaabo Mantis electric scooter is designed for the demanding rider who wants it all: Swift inner city commutes with strong acceleration, excellent trail performance for those fun weekend rides, large batteries to master up to 50 miles between charges, and still allows carrying in one hand. 

With 30 kg this scooter is the lightest in its class. It folds down easily and is still portable, despite its strong performance.

The two powerful brushless 60V 1000W motors deliver fun acceleration and climb up to 35% inclines with ease. Ride in single motor mode up to 50 km/h while conserving your battery or switch on the second motor for extra acceleration and 65 km/h top speed. 

The front and rear advanced swing arm spring suspension delivers a smooth ride on any terrain. Ride over grass or on dirt trails, jump a curb in the city, this 65 km/h electric scooter can handle pretty much any reasonable ground condition. 

Dual full hydraulic brakes provide full control during your ride. The advanced display/throttle combination allows configuration of speed limit, cruise control and regenerative braking strength. The Minimotors display also features motor torque adjustments and ABS.

2 front and rear LEDs and the bright lateral LED strip will ensure you will be seen at night. We recommend an attachable headlight for longer rides at night.

8-12h charging time with the included 2A charger.

Speed and Power

The Mantis has two 1000W brushless hub motors. This translates into a very high acceleration, but not that much torque due to how the controller is set up. The Mantis doesn’t feel “jerky” while still packing lots of power. All in all, it’s a very comfortable and powerful feeling ride that’ll easily beat inclines up to 35%. This is amazing, compared to most scooters out there.
 
Electric motors use the 60V battery, which means that the scooter can reach a top speed of 65 km/h. The Watt number determines how fast it accelerates and, loosely, how much torque it has, while the Voltage determines the top speed the scooter can achieve. This is the general rule that all electric vehicles follow; Watts = acceleration, Voltage = max speed, Amp Hour = range.


 

Brakes and Safety

The Mantis 60V 24.5 Ah has full hydraulic brakes. These are very safe and powerful brakes that feel a lot like high-quality bicycle brakes, and we were pleased how they performed. These brakes are what Dualtron scooters use, so you know they’re good.
 
The Mantis has Electric-ABS, which is an advanced system that stops the wheels from locking while braking; it might feel weird, as if the scooter will start “drifting”, but it’s doing its job well.
 
Like most other higher quality scooters, the Mantis is made from forged T6061 Aviation Grade Aluminum, which is basically the best option out there.


 

Suspension

The suspension, coupled with the 10″ pneumatic tires, makes for a dreamy ride. The Mantis has a relatively high clearance, meaning it works great off-road; it’s a great off-road and trail scooter too. The suspension is a mono-spring one compared to the dual-spring one the Wolf Warrior 11 has, but these, coupled with the overall design and the relative light weight of the Mantis do an admirable job. They feel better than most other scooters within this price range.


 

Portability

The Mantis is portable and foldable. It’s portable compared to the other scooters within its class, but it loses out to smaller scooters such as the Mercane Wide Wheel. It easily fits into a trunk, unlike the Wolf Warrior or some other high-performance scooters.

The dimensions are 1230x1267x140 mm. When folded, the height is 480 mm. This is not a small scooter. The width of the base is 210 mm, meaning it’s a bit narrower than some other scooters in the same class. The handles are great, they’re 560 mm, and they feel almost like quality bicycle handles. The handlebar is curved.

Weight Limit

Heavier riders will achieve lower speeds and lower acceleration than lighter ones, and the Mantis has a max weight load of 150 kg. This is very high compared to most scooters out there. We recommend a weight limit of 120 kg for added safety and stability.


 

Tests, customer opinions and experiences with the Kaabo Mantis

The Kaabo Mantis is in the same price and performance range as the Nyx 10X and the Dualtron 3. Compared to them, the Mantis is more comfortable to ride. In every other regard, they’re pretty similar. The Mantis is weaker and slower than the Wolf Warrior and the Dualtron Thunder, but that’s a given if we compare their prices. The one aspect that the Mantis has over both of these powerhouses is that it’s very portable and “trunk-friendly”, especially when compared to the low portability of the Wolf Warrior.
 
The Mantis is comparatively long and has relatively high clearance compared to most scooters in its price range, making it a very good off-road option. It’s also very light compared to other scooters in this class, but it’s by no means an easy scooter to carry around or up flights of stairs.
 

Who is this scooter for?

The Kaabo Mantis is perfect for an enthusiast looking for a fully balanced scooter. It’s very comfortable to ride, on and off-road. The range is great and you can use it to commute, even up to 90 km to and from work and do chores. Its power and uphill performance is great for areas like Austria. The soft acceleration makes it suitable for beginners, but only in ECO mode. This is a powerful beast of a scooter in an attractive shell, so be careful when you accelerate.
 
It’s a great machine for people that really loved what a dockshare scooter can do, and wanted the best possible version of that for a decent price.
 
The Mantis is made for the scooter enthusiast, with a fair price to match it, and quickly became a serious contender in the enthusiast market, while the Wolf Warrior tackles the very top of the electric scooter world with its performance at a very modest price compared to the competition.
 

Is the Mantis good?

All things considered, it is. We’re pleased with this scooter, and we recommend it to anyone who’s an electric scooter enthusiast. Beginners should be very careful, this is certainly not a first-timer’s best choice because of the speed, power and acceleration it has, though going slowly in ECO mode is a great way to learn.
