Love your reviews in general - very precise, concise, and cleanly executed. Keep up the great work!
I just got the single motor Mantis Lite and for single motor, it’s awesome, really well made and will still get me to 30mph !!
Thank you I love another video of the Mantis soon?
the real name of this scooter is Kaabo Mantis
There are different variations of the Mantis depending on the retailer. This is the Fluid Free Ride Kaabo Mantis
@@content6032 They copied the whole thing
@@akolettio2210 boo hoo
Excellent review. Really cool scooter and great for commuting!
Good video. You should have shown more close-up features, such as the folding handlebar mechanism. Specs give details in the link you gave at least. The air tires should evolve to honeycomb airless tires asap!
Sweet scooter, thanks for sharing!
Plan to upgrade from my fantastic kaabo skywalker 10s to a mantis next spring or summer. Love kaabo!
That looks nice. Great review 👍.
Thanks dude this was awesome.
The 1 thing that u must know that these scooters are not made for kids,it's made for ppl who have driven cars and have responsibility and common sense.
T J lmao wtf?
Of course. You need a license for this.
Bruh you sound like a kid. What do you know.
Dan Odden In Europe you do, not sure about US
@nunchaku101 Wrong, you have to be at least 16 to use e-scooters.
40 mph on a scooter???? Does it come with a discount coupon for the ER???
I was doing a little less than 20MPH on mine when I wiped. I got lucky....no broken bones or concussion...my elbow is fooked though....bruised to the bone and I won't be able to move it too much for the next two weeks!!! BE CAREFUL PEOPLE!!!
I was wondering what hospital was building these.
It's actually safer because you have more control
Hi Kamran,
I checked out the Langfeite scooters and I couldn't find any that matched the Mantis. And the company, Ningbo Kaabo Technology, is located somewhere else in China and doesn't appear to rebrand their products for resellers. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
There is a scooter that goes 85km/h is around 55m/h
My m8 just bought one at 50 lol thought man your having a crisis, had a doobie then we went outside where he offered me a go:) pretty shocked when i pulled that lever quite impressed.
impressive built
Insane speed! i still want to get an electric scooter and my dream scooter is the Boosted Rev, I would worry that the front part could snap or break mid ride... I prefer the classic forks but the Boosted Rev will never reach that sort of speeds..
the smal step at 2:35 ! how it feels when you drive it upwards ?? or can u drive it upwarts without jumping on scooter !?! that is what i miss on my zero s10
Welp, I'm done looking at amazon scooters
Hi Micah, thanks for the great review!! I am Michael from the Kaabo, who build the mantis.
Michael Sha nice 👍
Does it come with 10" tires?
@@Bajotaz yes
Which LG Cells does the 24.5 AH use?
@@SuperJoanator 3500amh MJ1
What camera are you using bro? Just got the Mantis Plus
Does it have a seat option? I use one on my Widewheel and it makes my cruise to work safe and fun.
Never seen the standard version before
Does the stem bolt/screw issue was fixed with Mantis?
Similar to the Turbowheel Lighting, it seems, but a few differences and it's currently like $500 cheaper with their promo.
People need to figure out payment plans
@@jacquelinewalker-5731 The problem right now is too much credit being used, not too little. If you can't save up to buy a $1500 item cash, you should probably not buy it. Unless of course you use it to replace a car as a commuter, in that case the sooner you get it the more you save, I suppose.
@@lorcro2000 credit is the thing
Hi I was riding this today and to my surprise, the footrest was punching the back mudguard each time I jumped harder or rode on a whole , or bigger uneven ground. I tried normal and PRO version - both had the same issue and my weight is 85kg / 187 lbs. It says it supports 120 kg - how come?
Thanks for that, one small nit pick, the scooter is from Kaabo (a Chinese manufacturer) , FFR are a US retailer. This is like saying the Bestbuy Iphone. No, its the Apple Iphone sold by Bestbuy. I have a Kaabo Mantis ordered after riding my partners Xaomi Mi Pro 2, I need something with more torque for hills, this has it in spades :)
Good video!!
Hi! Nice video! This is exactly how I would like to place my camera! (from the back) How is it mounted?
Need help Im planning to buy one, mantis pro or DT3
I know Mantis pro is less $$$ than DT3.
Not sure which one to pick I want to buy the mantis base on the price tag. But they only have 6 month warranty im not so sure about the durability if they only have 6 month warranty.?
Micah, in terms of Build Quality and Suspension, which is better in your opinion, Mantis or Turbo Wheeled Lightning?
How would you compare it to the Turbo wheel lightning on speed, range and shock absorbers??? Ty Micah great video!!!
I realize I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Legend Aydin Flixportal :D
@Leandro Aydin Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Legend Aydin you are welcome xD
Solid scooter 2*1000 Watt motors with a 17.5 ah battery at $1600. You have to respect the power of the tool you have. Just like fire.
What kind of camera do they use to follow you while riding the scooter ?
Base mantis or the base Apollo pro which should get?
Good video, totally random question but what boots you wearing. They look sikk
Great vid. What does it compare to the turbo wheel lightning or zero 10x
Ik they’re the same. I was just making sure he knew
@@nickel85 no they are not, turbowheel Lightning, Techlife X7/X7s, Speeddual, are all manufactured by Unicool and model name is T10 ddm...Kaabo Mantis isnt rebranded and the mantis is Kaabo's own Design (Thats why its couple kg's lighter than T10 ddm)
Can the battery easily removed with some tools ? So I can pop in a new one? What about packed sand(beaches)? IP rating?
I wonder the same thing?
40 MPH on a smal scooter isn't fast, is insane!!!!! 😥
Are u from LA?
@@JoeyBallzMcBigMe no, I'm from Portugal.
It is awesome 😎
47 mph is the fastest I've gone on an electric scooter. Insane.
@@JoeyBallzMcBigMe I have done 63mph on my wolf king lol
Are they pneumatic tires ?
I NEED ONE!
At 1:00 WHERE THE HELL CAN YOU FIND THAT IIND OF ROAD!!!
Anyone ever bought anything from okidas i got they Z4 waiting on it can't wait to ride
Does the scooter have the Cruise control?
Really like this Mantis Scooter. Great review but I didn't catch the weight limit ?
265 lbs it says on their website.
Micah, does this scooter fold? How fast is the charging? Can you do a Comparison between the Mantis and the Turbo Wheeled Lightning? I’m interested in both! Thanks!
the mantis fold, the time for charging depands on how bigger charger you use.
Nice job good info
Hi like very much.. When we can buy it?
is it legal to ride it on the road where you are
THIS review deserves a Pulitzer Prize.
If possible try the sxt ultimate Lite
Hi Could you please tell me what is the kit (pole and camera) used to record yourself from the back whilst you was riding the electric scooter?
9to5toys.com/2019/03/11/review-insta360-one-x-camera/
@@Electrek thanks for this, subscribing to you, as I'm getting an electric skateboard soon and wanted to record just like you. Much appreciated!
Please review the mantis lite 800w pls
Where i can buy this one
Did you clock 42 mph on a GPS or did you go by the speedometer that came with the scooter!?
Speedometer, u can see @1:07 it reads 41-42
What about the folding mechanism does it clip to board? Do handlebars fold? Adjustable?
Rick Deckard doesnt looklike handle bars fold
The stem folds down and locks so you can carry it one hand. The handle bar itself does not collapse.
Mantis vs zero 10x pls tell me the diff
Can you buy these from any UK dealers
Is this the 17.5 version?
Great, will into it
I’m buying this bad boy
As a trauma surgeon, I'm alway looking forward to treating new patients😬🤣
Lol
Does this come with a seat?
What is the volts 60v?
My dual 500W motor Kaabo Mantis 8 goes 26mph max, plenty frickin' fast.
I cannot re wire my Kaabo mantis ?
What happens when you get a flat tire and you are 30klm from home. Does it have puncture proof tires? Are the tires easily and cheaply obtainable?
Add slime.
@@cst2577 Have you ever tried to replace a tire after someone put slime in it? Very difficult to remove without damaging the wheel.
and if you want to sit down you just install a Hiboy Adjustable seat.
Looks quite similar to the Falcon Zero 10 x, no?
Clone
Why does mine mantis pro die in less than 8 miles in turbo dual is that normal ?
No
Should I cancel my Apollo Explore order and get this instead ?🤔🤔🤔
Nope. i had the pro version its really a scam company. Out of the box one of 2 controllers was dead.
How is customer service
Which do you think have better stability when going 30+ mph, WIDEWHEEL or Mantis?
Mantis for sure...
I'd like to see a scooter with fatter tires, maybe skinny go-kart ones so gets better traction and smooth out the bumpy roads.
@Alex S thanks! I cover a lot of golf events and currently looking for a solution moving around that doesn't require a damn golf cart.
@@makatron Just verify with the golf club that they accept whatever you want to try though. The people who keep the course grass and grounds in trim take that seriously (because the people who play on it lose their minds if things are less than perfect). Many vehicles seem fine but may leave tracks that suck anyway.
@@lorcro2000 it's for mostly go through the designated path anyways, and here in Dominican they don't bother you much during tournaments as long as you don't bother the players.
Cycleboard
gokart tires would make it handle like shit. wider tires would make it bumpier not smoother ride. get a scooter with ten inch pneumatic tires are your good to go. the RND and megawheel are 2 of my favs
was considering this but california has a speed limit of 15mph for scooters. Lame
Can you put aSeat on it
Well im getting 45 with 3200w 26amp. But at 45 feel a little unstable
I'd honestly rather get an e-bike if I were going to be riding at these speeds. Even better suspension options, much larger wheels mean much better stability, and just more stable overall. Plus for longer rides you get to sit on it.
How come they can’t make a 40 mph 40 mile range bicycle for $2100
with full suspension and hydro brakes and weigh less than 90lbs ?
This does all that and it’s 25 lbs lighter !
This isn’t about semantics (ones a bike the other scooter) it’s about cost and performance
Bikes have been around a lot longer and $2100 won’t buy one with these specs.
Building will get you close but not delivered to your door turn key
Thanks
Because they would be classified as a motorcycle.
David they definitely do make bikes that go that fast that aren’t classed or sold as a tagged motorcycle and they probably don’t need to be.
There are gas scooters that do that and then some for
You can build one yourself for less than that - see channels Vortecks and Andy Kirby for ideas and info.
Do you really want to KNOW? This model bounces so WON'T turn you into a lean fit machine just for riding it. The 8 inch wide airless tire model will. Larger than that tires for human beings are rather OBSOLETE. We need "on asphalt belt drive BOARD" not JUST at least car speeds.
To make CASH quick hoard these in a month street value will be four figure WINDFALL profit flip. Electra's honest review is PRICELESS. It takes courage to tell the safety truths about braking or motor power. I have asked for this and will defend THEM all stops out.
wow 80k views already only 4 days
I want of 40 miles per hour Wheelchair
buy the parts and build one
Tell this to Michael reaves lol
I love this scooter. It nearly killed me. Yes please wear a helmet. Riding jacket. Jean's. Shoes
That's nice, but very scary to say you can easily lose control at 20-40mph and would come flying off that and do serious bodily damage to yourself. The wheel is so small, that it could easily be a disaster if unforeseen things are in the road. Or if your at that speed, 40mph, and have to make a sudden turn.
Take my 💵 now
Can you ride it in the rain? Would it get shorted out?
It has zero ip rating
Road rash on the horizon !
Looks like a Zero 10x knock off which one is better
mantis is 5kg or 10pounds lighter
Price
This or the turbo wheel lightening???
hard pick. I think you like em both, pick the one that's easiest to get and where you think you get the best customer service if anything it don't work or any problems. Or dead on arrival or whatever.. I would get the cheapest one because they both are expensive as F*** for a kick scooter and where I would get the best customer service if needed, so if that means the more expensive one, I'd take that for the customer service quality.
This is the one buying when I can afford it
Charge time from low to full? Can you get a second battery?
On the FFR site it says 8 to 12 hours. You could pick up a fast charger and cut that time way down but it might not be the best for battery longevity. As for a second battery, the scooter is not designed for quick battery change outs. I've got a Mantis on order.
@@ByronWalter congratulations Bryan!
Tiny tires and pot holes would seem like a disaster. At that speed with a moment of distraction could lead to a big OUCH
What scooter do you recommend then?
how to eliminate creaking, noisy, wobbly stem in this new Mantis Pro GT ?
I read that they use a new bolt in production to eliminate stem wobble...did you purchase one recently?
fishingtwister yes , last week
@@sq7ikr That's odd. They resolved those as off 2020 models sold. Fluid free ride will resolve im sure if contacted.
fishingtwister I’m in EU :) I’ll try to figure something out
With Two Scooters, we Can Get
A 4 Wheeler 4x4 All Terrain Off Road E-Vehicle.!.
What Kind of Fun We Can Have, Out of 4,000 Watts of Total Power.!.
One or Two Seated its Good.
Fatter Set of Tires, Mudd Guards and an Extra Battery Pack,
Will Extend the Fun Time.!.
This or the wide wheel pro?
Mantis
Love the mantis. Have you test any scooters like the mantis that you can sit down and has range of 50 miles ona charge and 56 mph. I would love something like that if you know of any scooters like that. If not I would then get the mantis. Great video.
Eric Buell Rion Scooters are the only ones that go that fast
Rion scooters and dualtron X
LTO fifteen minute CHARGE trike featured at OPENING of "minds eye DESIGN" channel MOBILITY FAST paced many company's efforts recognising video from last year at LEAST meets your requirements as do others in VIDEO! Go fetch it FOLKS! IGNORE narration error ABOUT Audi concept weight!
@@fojrsepta4959 Fojr Electra gave A VERY thoughtful extended review BUT the machine your advising is not available used YET NOR is website CURRENT.
Spam yt channels like most recently th-cam.com/video/FEnKuuCCkEo/w-d-xo.html show it this year at 7'03'' in for four minutes using old sources but nobody has updated there time to MARKET FORECASTS.
Taking up a kwh every couple MINUTES (aka supercharging) is indeed the missing element. This scooter TODAY featured's $2100 model has about a fourth (kwh's 1.5 V 5.3) the BATTERY of the Thai Tuk class despite it having limited range- unfortunately it takes much LONGER than a few MINUTES to refill . . .more like hour's RIGHT?
(Car??????) AUDIO companies have been using the only battery chenistry suitable for traction power. One Australian audio company has rolled out a power wall claiming ONLY it pays for itself guaranteeing decades life at three 100% charge discharge cycles a day. The solution is to buy a bassy boombox ('Bluetooth Speaker') with the scooter as ACCESSORY for power port on it apparently. Spike Lee needs to do ANOTHER "gotta have it" flick but titanium not alkaline tuned and Greta at 16 glorified not gender reversal cat plot.
Check out by maike kk10s scooter. It comes with a seat kit
I want
That's what i wish my schooter could do... but sadly i got scammed when i baught it for 1400 dollars. max speed 35km/h
Are you in Europe? Electric scooters here have a limited top speed. Legally it would be considered a motorcycle if it was any faster, and then you'd need a licence plate, insurance and all that. It's still possible to hack them, to unlock the full power.
@@Oivaras I have private roads around where i live that i use, as well as i use it around my property a lot. But i mostly need this sort of power for hill-climbs and tough terrain. My scooter maxes out at 14km/h in 15 degree hills, which is fairly unimpressive.
@@TheNameIsForty In that case you should definitely do some searching, maybe even message the manufacturer, get that power unlocked.
get yourself a gas bike you can get a Walmart bike under 100 and an engine kit under 150. these electric vehicles are a rip off scam.

Handlebars not folding? Could be a problem when transporting.
Also could be the best thing you can have with your scooter. And save you some money not visiting a dentist/surgeon/etc vs people having foldable bars
@@michaelganshin2017 Using your logic, having no wheels could also be the best thing you can have with your scooter. And save you some money not visiting a dentist/surgeon/etc vs people having wheels.
@@amenhotepavoskin1307 don't be exaggerating. Using my logic is just better having reliable bars than having some kind of foldable ones with plastic nuts. They are not metal ones, moreover even metal nuts can break if they're made from shitty metal. And it all happening at the time you're going full speeds like 40mph. Just realize that. Or is it not enough facts?)
@@michaelganshin2017 Here are some facts in return. During all my years of riding scooters, I always had folding handlebars (still do) and they have never ever failed me, not once. Is that fact enough?
Mine are not made of plastic, they are made of metal. I don't how "shitty" this metal is, I am not an expert in shit. But the fact is, they don't break. See above.
@@amenhotepavoskin1307 well, that's ok. And I'm also know guys who broke their handlebars. While they were riding almost full gas. And this is very special kind of pleasure. I must admit.
P.s: what scooter do you ride? Is it a kind of commuting rides?
2 NINEBOT MAX'S for the same price.... with 40 mile range and 19 mile limit. 19 is fast enough for me, when I fell on my max earlier today I could have died so no ty about 40 mph ahah plus i got the max for 651 all included tax shipping etc and this one is 1.5k... When I need another scooter in 6 months-1 year hopefully these all come down a few hundred at least
Can you post a video review of your ninebot max. I have been waiting for mines to be deliver & nothing yet.
U never said how heavy it was or maybe I just missed it
3:44 61 - 65lbs
While watching your video review of this scooter, I get the impression that an angry Beetle or Green Hornet is following you with the camera due to the fast side to side movement and shakiness!! I know the video playback is sped up, but just saying..
