Sometimes I see video games like GTA with random people walking in the absolute middle of nowhere, and yet there’s many people like them in the game. Your video is the first time I’ve witnessed an IRL situation like that 😂
Y’all in the middle of nowhere but it’s a pretty place that’s for sure
yo this area looks so clean and nice and empty, I might just move there just because I can ride my e scooter freely like this lol. im in nyc and you all know how it be like here
I think its provo Utah
I really wish more Utah real estate would build properties with desert landscape. Grass is just a waste of the little water we have
Yeah I know they offer incentives in other states to switch to desert landscape to save water. It's a good idea
Geez, I thought that was CGI for a moment there, those row houses just kept coming!!
Mantis is the best in this price range because of the range
Mantis 8 is a little beast of a scooter love Mantis 8 👍😎👍
Looks like you moved out pretty close to me! If you haven't already you should try taking the mountain view corridor trail all the way up to West Valley! It's a really cool trail when you start getting up into West Jordan especially, with very few streets to cross! I love riding it at night, it's a good time.
Sweet thanks for the recommendation! Hit me up whenever if you want to ride some time
Biggest range on Mantis Pro so far I got almost 38 miles / 61 kilometres, with 2 and 3 gear (turbo) for the most part and various throttle. Usual range I get is 26-34 miles / 45-55 kilometres, depending on how windy and how many uphills.
Which battery?
@@Stevioslawgeek1979 60V 24.5Ah
How does it do in light rain or wet road. I’m told the newer kaboo have up ratings. The pro se specifically states ipx4 for 2021 models and ipx5 for 2022 models. This is what voro told me, but when I pressed them they couldn’t really tell me if/how it was officially rated.
@@Stevioslawgeek1979 Hmm interesting. I waterproofed/sealed Mantis myself.
How fast is gear 2, and how fast is single motor?
Nice ride! - i myself got the Vsett8R for only $200 more- i gotta have fold down handles for car transport and taking into stores -would love to see a comparison between the two
I'll check it out! Always open to scooter suggestions
I am Very much waiting to purchase the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro which can be found only right now on Aliexpress
Can pre order through storm rides or Actiontech in New Zealand. I have pre ordered one.👍
@@starkalarm They cost way much more I am sure
@@starkalarm They want like 4800 Hundred or something right?!!
@@curtflirt2 yes $4895 nz
@@starkalarm See, Aliexpress has it for 3800 plus after the 315 Vat tax added
I think I like your old hood better. Great video... thanks! Is there software that allows you to track a bunch of shit that you can post in the corner of the video? Speed, time, battery levels, route, etc.. I've seen such somewhere but I'm not sure where, when or of what... may have been an ultralight flight.
Can you make a video of upgrades on this scooter like handlebar grips and deck grip tape etc?
Yeah as I make changes I'll for sure update y'all. I'll probably cover the upgrades I make in the full review
How trustable is the website. I would prefer buying from Amazon so I have that 30 day return policy. I’ve heard horror stories of all third party websites not responding in terms of customer service. With third party websites I feel like there’s no going back.
Was stoked to get mine, but motor cuts out and customer service won't respond to my messages and emails. If customer service is important to you, look elsewhere.
Love the mantis tho 🤘
Hey man, love the channel.. I'm in saltlake, I'd like to know where to get on some of the trails I see you riding.. Do you have that info somewhere? Anyways, quik question.. I got my second Mantis 10 after I sent the 1st back because an E10 error msg kept coming up.. When I looked down after speed testing the 2nd Mantis it was flashing E10 the same as the other.. I love this thing. It takes me 22miles and hits 37mph.. I'm 6ft 190lbs so it meets my expectations as far as specs.. It hasn't had any performance issues so far but the e10 worries me.. Fluidfreeride has been good as far as customer service. But they sent me another $1600 scooter flashing the same error code. Do you think this is something I should worry about? The scoots less than a week old with less than a 100miles.. Same as the other one I previously sent back.
Did you ever try any of the VMax Scooters?
My e scooter has a top speed of 45 kmh do you think this means I can be on the road (the roads aren't to busy) or should I stick to the pavement?
Thinking of getting a kaabo scooter anyone have experience with these scooters could tell me if they are good quality, reliable and have no long-term issues.
You now have a new Instagram following in HockeyDonger!
what scooter do you like more., the varla pegasus., or the kaboo mantis
Does the scooter reduce speed and power after 80% battery remaining?
Ive heard some scooters do that.
Most scooters lose a little power with battery depletion bro
Mantis 8 is waterproof?
splash proof
Hello RK9 I like your videos... Question: On the Kaabo Mantis 8 dual 500watt does the battery gauge go down when you are using the throttle and then come back up to several bars at a complete stop??? I just got my scooter and noticed that the battery level shows like 2 bars left and it's fully charged with full throttle and when I stop it goes back to it's full charge...
Yes, it does this. It is normal. Because the scooter uses basic cells in the battery, it has something called voltage sag. Higher quality Samsung lg or dynavolt batteries may not do this.
It must be the fact that I weight 260 but my Mantis 8 doesn't have great range.
Fully charged I rode for 9.6 miles on flat ground and was on my last bar with reduced top speed.
This is the only negative I've experienced with this scooter.
Jesus Christ your heavy that's like almost the max weight of this scooter
Is this the dual motor 500w?
did you have to get a new mantis?
Is there any scooter that goes 50 mph under 2k dollars?
Which one should I buy Mantis 8 PRO or Mantis 10 base, anyone know or has any input on that?
They are about the same price. It will be used for commuting mostly. I have a really hard time to decide which one to get, I mean it's too many options to choose from, imo. But I guess at the same time that is a good thing also. I am trying to find long term use reviews from scooters but there aren't that many videos from what I've seen. There are lots of reviews but they don't test the scooter for more than a week what it seems and that way too short of a time to make a real review with all the issues that you will see after a longer period of time.
what would you rate this scooter 1-10?
I am looking forward to getting a Mantis 10 pro in red and black, but I just heard through the grapevine that there is another scooter that weights under 60 pounds (57.4 pounds) that goes just as fast as the Mantis. And judging from the pictures I don't think that the motor cable runs through the break rotors, so it does seem like a plus, once I get paid I'll see how that scooter comes and performs.
What's the name of the other scooter??
Which brand is the other scooter? Another kaabo scooter?
@@kingstergaming7242 Joyor XMS
@@RK9Rides it's called the Joyor XMS, I did have one of Joyor's slower crappier scooters, but I am going to give them a chance to redeem themselves.

Hello
Do you know how to change the display setting from km to miles ?
Did you figure it out
Can u really feel the diference fron the mantis 8 to the mantis 10??i dont know if i should buy the 8 to start or just go for the mantis 10 base. Based on yor expereience?
What did you end up getting? Tested a Mantis 10 and it felt like too big and too fast for a beginner. Plus, $1k more lol
Hey, what is that loud humming noise when you brake? Is that the regenerative braking or maybe the motors whining down? I just bought this scooter and overall really like it, but mine makes that similar noise while braking and would prefer it to be quieter. Also, is there a way to turn off the braking lights at night? The flashing lights are attracting too much attention (I know this is the point of them). Thanks buddy.
It's the electronic braking
Turns on when you apply some force to the break pedals
Any thoughts on the new VSETT 10+
definitely want to check it out. Been asked about that scooter more than any other recently
Hello, is your promo code for $125 off allowed for preorders? I don't see any place you can enter the promo code..
when you try to pay there is a box discount code.just type the discount code👍
Hi! Were you using dual motor or single and eco or turbo mode?
dual and turbo
Something about electric scooters that dogs go crazy bark at it.
Back tire replacement sooo annoying
Utah looks like North Korea
This is the modern world of institutionalization rather than a community of people, family and extended family and friends.
yall fuckin complain too much, have you ever been to north korea? americans get such a comfortable life and still find reasons to whine. yall should appreciate this country more. or if yall hate it so much then live somewhere else
Lol I don’t know why that’s funny
They sell you a scooter & when it doesn't work, they will not refund your money, they will not give you another unit, they will barely even talk to you. NEVER buy any Kaabo products, there is ZERO support. It's like playing Russian roulette with your hard earned money. Terrible company with THE WORST customer service possible!
