Please read: Those of you telling me that I am tightening the stem plate in the wrong place, thank you for informing me and I will use this information to fix the scooter. HOWEVER, just because the stem issue CAN be fixed does not make the Mantis a quality product. 500 miles is almost nothing for a high end scooter and for it to be loosening in such a significant way is a major issue for me. I DO NOT feel safe on this scooter. I shouldn't have to be popping the thing open to work on it after such a short amount of time. This is besides all the other issues that I listed in the video. Also, YOU not having the same issues with this scooter does not change my personal experience with the scooter. You can tell me a million times that you like the scooter and you won't change my opinion because I have my own personal experience with it. That is what MY channel is for: MY experience. I told my story about my issues with all the flat tires as a warning for my American viewers because Fluid Freeride is the main or only distributor here, and I want them to know that I did not get the correct innertube replacement from Fluid. If you have a place where you can quickly get quality innertubes for the Mantis, good for you. I have not had that experience though. Thanks for watching and supporting as always.
I also had clamp that way round, I don't see why having it this way would make a difference...its looks better...although the stem did split the other week just above the clamp lol
You should definitely replace the aluminum steering neck and the fork after that hard crash! Your scooter will not be safe to operate until you fix the crash damage. Something is obviously bent because of the lack of clearance at the front of the deck. It is way less than mine even when you flex it away.
I have a I Ninebot Max it's great very solid and dependable machine. I had my heart set on a Mantis but the hard truth and harsh reality of this video has changed my view. I appreciate this video for telling it like it is.
thanks for being honest with your review. your experience is your experience and honesty goes a long way and could help someone in the future...keep up the good work
I knew something happened when we didn't hear from you and your Mantis vids for some time. My Mantis is doing fine for now but I do see low quality issues with mine. All scooters have issues though, even Dualtrons. Spend your money wisely folks!
@@jesusisoursavior2682 you're not wrong bro. I think your xiaomi is a similar build to my segway ninebot max G30 that was stolen. I replaced it with a Zero 9 and while it's faster, it doesn't inspire the same confidence the G30 did with it's rock solid build. Zero 9 has far too much stem wobble that messes with low speed stability when turning. Plus, I've seen a few pictures of the folding mechanism bending or snapping off entirely.. along with one picture of the whole rear suspension snapping off.
@@Director-M thats why i dont switch scooter im staying my xiaomi pro but u already upgraded with speed bat and range plus i put already front suspension. but still i have no problem on all parts.
True that. I have a Dualtron Mini. Which I love very much! Amazing scooter all together so fat but it came with an improperly alligned stem which meant that if I held me steering wheel straight, my wheel would be some degrees to the left. I had to drill the holes bigger and now it's perfectly alligned. Still... for a company that makes $8000 scooters, that is not ok.
Sooo happy I’m not the only one with all the mantis problems. I didn’t have the greatest of experiences with the distributor. I have the pro model and it is not any better. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this follow up video. It's what we REALLY need. All the "wow, look at the new XXXXX model" are useless for determining the quality and longevity of a scooter. Only after being used for at least 3 to 4 hundred hours is a true review possible. Thank you for this. Great information.
Dude I got over 1200 miles on my mantis 10 and it's still going strong as ever.... battery hasn't lost any power and all I've had to do so far is replace my tires and brake pads... my brakes work beautifully.
Finally a real review. These top youtube guys get their scooters for free and every single scooter they review is "oh so good, best one yet, insane, crazy" yadda yadda. Complete bs. Thank you! Unfortunately I wish I saw this a week ago. I just got the mantis king gt, brand new the front tire won't hold air.
I have a mantis pro and these are valid concerns. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. I'll keep an eye out for these issues. Its ridiculous that they are not selling the right part for their scooter on their own website and overcharging you as well. These are definetly manufacturing issues and they should replace the whole scooter especially now that you've attempted to fix them yourself. Thank you. I hope your replacement doesnt have the same issues.
Get a dualtron eagle pro or zero10x. As a Mantis owner, really saddens me to see all these issues. Such a fun machine but not worth the risk. I’m only at 200 miles with no major problems but only a matter of time. Thank you sharing this video, will educate riders on what to look out for. Ride safe!
Holy crap if inner tubes are impossible to get then that's honestly a show stopper. Tires (and tubes) are one of the most important parts on a vehicle expected to be used on the road
The thing I love about this rant is very true - nobody does any follow up, sturdiness or longevity testing on any scooters. A consumer hands the seller a couple thousand or more dollars, then the companies change the models every 12-18 months. Dualtron for example has about a dozen different ones, they also have the Speedway models and now they carry the BlueTran models. Why in the world does a scooter company need so many models and who is going to keep track of their quality? In reality I only see room for maybe 5 speed versions of a scooter with interchangeable street and off-road tires included in the price: 0-15mph, up to 30, up to 45, up to 60, and then highway speeds 60 > 80+mph I would also make the scooters modular to change deck width, stem height and be able to install a reinforced bracket to mount a seat that sits back closer to the rear tire or add a basket to the same seat post. Dualtron is not alone in this hype driven platform so what I would like to see is longer warranties that I don't have to pay an extra $400-$600 for 3 years. If the product is good then I shouldn't have to pay extra to insure it and possibly get the run-a-round when I make a claim. Don't care if someone gets offended because if I'm paying thousands of dollars for a big battery and a few hundred dollars in parts that get imported and manufactured from overseas, I want to make sure it will last. These scooters are rated for people 220 to 350Lbs. so it should tested rigorously with the heaviest listed weight for at least 1,000 miles before bringing it to market. The electronics, brakes and other components should all be tested as well and have certificates like they do with other products costing thousands of dollars.
Newer mantis is built with a forged single piece of aviation grade aluminum that stretches from the part that connects the deck to stem, to the rear kick plate. This insures the problem at 8:14 will never occur.
Where do you find this information? I've just got the Kaboo Skywalker 10c and some said it also had a similar issue due to its construction. Information about kaboo models are really difficult to find
Another great video and so sorry to hear the issues you're having. I'm up to 700 miles on my Mantis with no problems yet. Here's hoping that it stays that way. This is my third scooter and I had a similar issue with another brand and it just seemed like I got a lemon. I'm still loving the Mantis for the amazing way it rides. It's really early days for the scooter industry, so let's hope the general quality of products continues to improve as things get more mainstream. Love the channel as always...
... There are bolts on the sides of the Deck, they become accesible once you remove the front "Bumper" ...if i ever encounter that stem "problem" ill tighten the bolts and also JB weld it together permanently
Flat tires on a scooter are really a nigtmare. This was the reason why I sold my Xiamo 365 after only a few weeks, even though I really enjoyed riding it. Besides the inner tubes required, also the process of replacing them with these tiny wheels is pure torture.
Silly for selling for that reason. I had four flats in the first 6 weeks. I now have mon-punture tyres and they are great. Three months in and no issues
Prince L ~ Yes the Max tires are air filled, but they are also pre-slimed by the company and are self healing tires up to a 6mm puncture. I have about 300 miles on my Ninebot so far without any issues. I love it! Just be sure to keep the tires properly inflated. Especially the front. So far it’s holding up to these New York City streets.
@@NoProGoPronto oh nice, then I'm 100% getting the max when I can. My current scooter can take me around campus and nearby places but it has a small range I only get 9 miles
I was going to include a picture to help you out, sometimes thinking outside the box works best, especially different circumstances, in about 25 seconds on eBay, I found the same exact tire you and I have on the Mantis without air... Instead of a tube they have a softer compound foam that mimics a pneumatic tire, problem solved indefinitely for $30
Thanks a lot for this review. I was actually considering the Mantis. I can't believe the poor design, engineering, and manufacturing of a $1600 scooter. Very disappointing.
Vsett 10+ is what I chose over the mantis pro for the same price in the country I reside in (Sweden) I had to go test the weight see see if I can lift it up (36 kg is no joke) turned out its possible for me to lift it and hold it so it was a no brainer just go for something reliable i swear even vsett have their problems but it's the best we have so far and it's issues can be easily addresses (fender extension, waterproofing for example )
I appreciate the honest feedback. What's going to consider buying the Mantis today. Keep up the good work you have a subscriber just for courage of speaking out the truth
I used it for about 700 miles and gave it to my nephews. Bought a car. It got wet once and the control card burned, mantis gave me one at no cost. The tires get worn out rather quickly and it's really hard to replace them. Other than that it helped me a lot and it's a lot of fun to ride.@@AJCoReTV
Are instructions for bending the stem given by the manufacturer/Fluid? Why would they send a defective part that needs to be bent to be used? Guarantee they won't replace it when you mess up and tear the tube.
@@skeletronmw Possibly those tubes were not ment to be on that wheel at all. Compare the new tube with the original one! Yes you can bend the valve. Make shure the valve is not rubbing in a wrong angle in the wheel.It can weaken valve & the rubbery part. Also the bent axel will vibrate the valve & the wheel thus rips it. Flats can you easily occur.
To everyone trying to purchase a scooter that’s kinda similar to the Mantis. Please get the Dualtron Eagle Pro 🦅 it’s very similar to the Mantis. I have already put in like 400 miles, and haven’t had any problems. It’s all about maintain your scooter correctly.
I agree with you but just to clarify.....if someone wants to get the Mantis Pro, DEF go for the DT Eagle Pro! They are the same price and the better made and more available parts scooter is the DT! If you still want the Mantis, just get yourself the base model.
I just run a Xiaomi pro scooter with 1000 miles with little issue. I'm surprised from when they charge top dollar for a scooter with so many issues to a point you're not enjoying it. I was considering a fluidfreeride but maybe I should investigate further. Most who have upgraded continue to 👍👍👍👍to dualtron. Sorry to hear you're having so many issues.
That's why I went with Zero 10X it had the most long term reviews and aftermarket support. I received it August 22nd and already have 834 miles and no mechanical issues. I'll be doing my 1000 mile review shortly on my channel.
Weight is a small favor but it ultimately comes down to build quality. The mantis is known to have problems with the stems breaking. It's pretty clear something eventually going to snap on this guy's scooter. Unless your riding the wolf warrior I'd stay away from Kaboo.
thank you so much for doing a review of the problems on this electric scooter I wanted to buy this electric scooter but changed my mind thank you so much you saved my money...
thank you for making this video! i have been saving for a few months now and was going to get a mantis, thanks for the honest in depth video! keep up the good content
Thanks a lot man. And glad i came across your channel. I was about to order one. And it is true, spare parts distributors are important, that's why i am going for the Segway Ninebot max G30. A friend of mine who owns one, recommended this to me. That's why i think it would be wise for me to order one from a shop nearby who has all the parts instead of ordering a Mantis from China.
I was considering the Ninebot Max, the Apollo Ghost & the Mantis. No wonder the Mantis is now on sale @ Fluid website. Apparently it’s poor build quality.
Sorry you are having so many problems with your scooter. I can’t help but think that most of your damage was caused by that high speed collision with a curb early on. You nailed that curb hard. I would have expected damage to the wheels and especially the steering head and deck. The fact that it didn’t break in half is surprising. The factory tires are easily damaged by impact and this will cut cords inside. This will make the tire eat tubes. Constant flats until the offending tire is replaced. Any scooter with theses tires can have this same problem. I have a Mantis Pro that has almost 700 miles on it. Tightening bolts with thread locker is a must on these machines, just like off-road motorcycles. The 3 inch wide tires that are available for these fit perfect and are much thicker and can be purchased with tubes that fit fine. I have had no flats since I made this upgrade. The bolts that come on all of these Chinese scooters are low quality and will stretch if either over tightened or over stressed in a crash. Super high quality replacements should be considered. Cheap and fairly easy to change out. I think the Mantis is just fine if it is checked and maintained regularly. All of them will need this. Good luck.
Nv Yes. The 10x 3” road tires that I put on mine clear just fine and using them put an end to all my tire problems. No more pinch flats or punctures. It seemed like I was constantly getting flat tires with the stock setup. The tires I bought were from China and they are made by TUOVT 80/65-6
@@mikkihintikka7273 He definitely rode very recklessly this mentis!!!⚠️. Don't abuse a road vehicle. He damaged this scooter than the problems showed up one after the other. He has not much of an idea what's he is doing.Tlc?
Don't worry about it. Mines is fine, he got a messed up scooter and I bet they will replace it. first, Get it water proofed Second, get better inner tubes, i got better ones and never got a flat again. The only thing that happened for me, is was my suspension broke. And that's because how i had it in the car trunk wrong , it gotten lose then came off. I fixed it, but still going to have them replace it. The scooter is still great. But I do agree about the flats though, those inner tubes are cheap as shit.
Hi-TyCh I’m hoping to have the flat issue covered. My brother-in-law runs a tire shop here in town and he was my one stop shop for all my cycling needs in the past.
WRONG! The front end of your 10X SUCKS BALLS. And the only reason why you think it’s ok is because you have never ridden a real scooter like a Kaabo Wolf Warrior or a RION. And it’s not like the 60 watt 10X is cheap$$ either cause it’s not! It’s way overpriced is what it is.
stop the hate. so what if we didnt have the wolf or 11x.my choice is 10x because it is more easy to transport and does not need me to leave my kid just to fit a scooter. still same fun ride. rion is way up there and id rather pay for a motorcycle if i wastemy money with that amount
@@jr8472 I agree the Rion has cool tech but their prices are just silly now that other companies are making them 62-75mph for 1/3 less compared to the Rion. The only place where the Rion excels is that it weighs a lot less than the competition but even if I had the money I wouldn't pay it for a scooter and rather put the $9-10,000 as a down payment on a investment property to rent out. I've had a few motorcycles and terrible how easy they are to steal if you do not have a garage wherever you park it. Scooters you can take with you so problem solved but prices are too much for the fast ones and most only have a 1 year warranty.
Love your videos. But the way you ride your Mantis, these issues were expected. I would suggest making videos on how to fix this issues. By the way i don't even have a Mantis)
Get rid of flats forever by putting tuffy tire liners on it. I used to have a e-longboard with off road tires and was constantly getting flats. Put tuffys on and wrapped it so I had 3 layers thick. I never ever had a flat again. I couldnt even puncture through with a needle when I was testing.
3 thousand km on my Ride. LED strip died after 600 km, rear hydraulic brake started leaking and died after 800 km. Besided that all well. Of course, as a precaution, I waterproofed it and re-tighened all bolts with glue.
Luckily I avoided the mantis myself, the stem bolt issues were enough to scare me away. Have 2100 miles on my t10-ddm(10x factory direct) I highly recommend it because it has none of those major issues. There’s a couple trivial things but nothing like you’re describing here. Kaabo always been a little shady with the recalls/replacement stem bolts...
1. Did you try to bend the tire valve w pliers to the correct angle 2. For any loose parts you can try to weld them together. This is regarding the loose footboard
Thanks for your videos mate... My skywalker 10s+ snapped last week, the metal that holds the stem to the battery/body is such cheap metal, I had a blast on it up till then. I'm about 70kg and managed 1300 miles, I did a couple of 60 mile days trips with food and charging stops. Got 2 flats, one from using the wrong cheap innertube. But did find cheaper good ones on Amazon prime for like £8 each, once I knew one was good I bought two more quickly. I bought two tyres at £35 each. The scooter was awesome, the parts cheap. I'm working with kaabo UK, a dealer working from South UK, hopefully they will offer a refund, i wouldn't want another skywalker. 60v 24ah battery dual 1000w motors @ just over £1000. The frame and weight etc can't handle the forces exerted on it. I was thinking to upgrade to the Mantis pro. Keep going bro 👊🏼
I had this scooter and it was great. Super fast. I only sold it because I felt I would be more comfortable on an ebike. Not going to get the same speed out of an ebike but will be way more super chill as 2000w scooters are like constantly being on a roller coaster. Fun for a bit but bound to be extremely dangerous over time.
Thank's for telling us about all your problems with that scooter i wanted to buy one but now it's finish i bought an electric bycicle and much more happy with it and i have no problems to resolve . Ride safe
Wow!Do Not continue riding that scooter. I can't believe the front section is totally coming off. My god. Confirming everyones suspicions about the mantis. Just be glad your stem didn't snap mid ride like others... Curious, what was your psi In the tubes when they kept going flat?
@@-joo3033 so you confirm the stem snapping issue is a known defect. But you deny it happened to other people?... How can that be the case if it didn't happen to anyone else? ... Re-read my statement.
@@GingerOnWheels no i mean the stem snapping is a different thing from the Chassis screws getting loose, the stem snapping is due to the bolt in the bottom of the handlebar snapping (it has been fixed in the mantis V3)...sorry if this sounded offensive :)
@@RK9Rides definitely check your PSI. Make sure it's above 35 at least. 'Pinch flats' / ’snakebite flats' sound like they are to blame for your later flats.
Sorry to hear about your bad experiences with the Mantis scooter, I was just about to purchase a Mantis scooter but now, after watching this video, I wont buy it. Thank you for the updated review.
The inner tubes are easy to find, they are 15$ shipped on Aliexpress for a pair of them. The mat is easy to tack down with some glue. Stem issues have been resolved and updated with the newest models, there have been no reports that I know of regarding stem issues. That motor wobble is deffinitly unacceptable though, I hope they improved the quality control and design of it by now. It also sounds like you have had many bolts/screws come lose. This can cause a lot of wiggle and play in the joints. This only makes things worse, so you need to make sure that you lock tite them, when they come lose so that they don't come lose again. Towards the end of the video I see where the stem meets the deck, the whole insert is sloppy. There should be bolts underneath the deck, those are likely very lose! Lock tite and re tighten to spec. Also lock tite and re tighten the screws on top of the deck. Without lock tite, it'll just come lose again
I now have owned my kaabo mantis 10 pro for 2 months, riden 505km and only 2 flats (same hole) went to the Thansen (mecanic shop) and they had one that matched but the wrong angle, i got it fitted tho. No problems otherwise a great scooter
I had the same issue with my mantis, you can fix the shaking part by taking off the from covert where the light are and tightening the 4 screw on each side
I have to disagree with your views on this scooter, in a brief segment within your video, I seen you jumping off a curb. Okay the machine can handle it but how many times do you think you can ride hard without expecting give or take... Murphy's law. Problems your experiencing including correct tube purchase!?! (Huh lol)Maybe it's just me but I felt your problems are minimal in this video and redundant, loose construction of the neck on top of the battery box could be fixed with a quarter inch piece of aluminum or carbon flat stock ( 7'-8'inch X 3'-4'inch) but instead you discredit your previous videos and expect the world like it's never going to have issues...
The official distributor not having a compatible parts even for an item as commonly needed as an inner tube is 100% a good issue to bring up. Just because the e-scooter market is an emerging market, doesn't mean that these issues are not important to bring up. Why should the Mantis be immune from criticism regarding the stem wobble issue when I've never seen anyone bring up a similar issue with Dualtron or Inokim scooters?? This scooter is the price of a 150-250cc Yamaha or Honda gas scooter, but if any of those other two brands have an issue with loose stem after 500 miles or unavailability of replacement parts from the OFFICIAL distributor, you'd be called stupid for defending them
Good video.Sorry to see & hear about these problems. There's a fundamental frame problem there. All these troubles showing up a definite big problem with this brand???⚠️☝️ Quite a lousy construction of that plate on the front deck unless there was an accident with it.??I wouldn't want to ride one like that.An accident is WAITING to happen. Tubes are an other issue. This is not a full suspension MTB!!! EVEN THEY CAN BREAK. Those can even happen on bycickles too. I won't get into those now. Some are easily fixable & rearly will have flats. MAY BE A DIFFECTIVE rear axel could be a softer material thus bands easily & can cause other issues ? 25 years of riding many types of.... Wish you all well & safe.Thighten nuts,bolts & screws regularly. Don't abuse the scooter or else.
Thank you RK9 , I Was contemplating buying this scooter but you have definately given me an eye opener about it......Shame that You spend between $ 1000 and $1600 and these companies still get it wrong or they are purely in it for the Maximun profit .....Either way its a shame , Im looking for my First scooter , would like something that can reach 23 or 24 miles per hour with decent suspension , 1 Honeycomb tire and 1 Pneumatic Tire , with a 24 to 25 Mile range , Decent lights and no rattling of the Stem or other Parts while Riding ....Open to any recomendations .....would also get a scooter that has both Pneumatic Tires as long as they are not difficult and time consuming to change .
The stem on my Kaboo mantis cracked around the clamping point thanks god i noticed it quickly cause of a strange wobbling i contacted the supplier in china via Alibaba and they sent me a new upgraded stem, it was really difficult to replace due to the wiring and bake lines i have the mantis pro with hydraulic brakes by the way, and last but not least the common brake noise that most of us know about i had to replace the rear disc brake cause it was slightly bent but other than i have had a lot of fun with the scooter no flats tires so far.
i had my first flat and innertubes for mantis pro are not available at fluid, after a couple tries and returns from amazon ,i found that you can get them on ebay and the same innertube for zero 10x ( cant remember the company name that sells zero 10x) ,they worked just fine.i have 300 miles on my scooter and the only problem i have had was my front brake caliper was leaking fluid since day one i had been riding with only rear brake, , fluid sent me a new one free of charge,nice to have both front and rear ,big difference, and since i was changing the rear i went ahead and switched to the off road tires, i was concerned that the clearance would be an issue , but they run just fine ,no issues at all.
Sorry to hear those issues man, and thanks. I have zero 10x. Just got it. I am having a few probs with loose stem. But that is something you have to occasionally look at throughout the life of any scooter, its normal. I've not come across one yet that didn't have that issue. My main prop is the battery. Its 52v version. The battery keeps cutting out completely at around 53v. I'm sure its the BMS. I plan to open it up and bypass the discharge leads going through the BMS. Keeping the charge section intact. Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks for the honest review. Anyone who criticizes your review is living in denial. These cheaply made scooters are all the same. There are about 3 different designs for all the brands. There are however 2 exceptions, now I know it has lackluster performance numbers but the Boosted Rev is still the most solid built and reliable scooter out there, and a top speed of 24 mph isn't that bad. If you want performance and solid build there is only RION scooters.
I’m having the same issue with my mantis 8 with the base of the deck. Kaabo keeps saying it’s the stem. I sent them a video and it’s taking forever to deal with this issue.
Thanks soo much for this video. I was on the fence between the Mantis and the Zero 10x and this helped me make a decision. I will be going with the Zero 10x.
I'm not jumping off curbs with my scooter. I'm using it as a simple bike replacement and commuter machine. I'm not at all trying to ride the machine harder than what it's supposed to go. Just my opinion.
There is no way those two little screws secure the front frame. You either need to take the thing apart and loctite all fasteners, or if you aren't comfortable doing that, get someone who is. And maybe some solid tyres or a run flat variant would help you. Best of luck.
Thank you for helping me decide between Kaabo Mantis Pro and Zero10x ;) ..I'm sure my 120kg (264.5 lbs) of total weight will split Kaabo in two pieces. Zero 10x has one solid piece of metal. Unfortunately, it's made of "chinesium" but still better without any body joints.
Zero 10X/ T10 ddm, suspension can break...Even Dualtrons have snapping stems...for some reason every scooter seems to have some kind of problem with the Desing :/
You'll be fine with the mantis pro. Get it watered proofed and Just get better inner tubes, like i did because they're cheap and would break easily. Also, check the the scooter tires before riding. My suspension did break, well was loosened and it came off in the truck of the car. I fixed it, but do have the suspension too lose, even though you may like it bouncy?
Yo you inspired me to make a couple videos as well although couldnt commit to keeping it, the rear hub i guess( i thought it was the bent rotor) I couldnt reach top speed unless going downhill , Im happy to send you an extra tube I had spare from my 2 experienced flats. For other commenters theres an Apollo brand or name of Scooter that looks almost the same but has had much better reception in terms of rigidness but i would recommend others to look for content and unfortunately some one has to be the reviewer of a long time reviews.
I have 1,586 on my kaabo mantis pro with zero issues... it's maybe because I don't jump it 🤣 with zero flats .. kick stand is till working the mat is junk that got unglued no big deal I replace it with skateboard grip
I was gonna purchase two of them one for me and one for my wife thanks god I saw this video and I will be looking to buy something else but not Kaabo. Thank you so much
Wow awesome review thinking about getting the splash twin. But they all seem to be similar like it's the same company but using different brands. Hope you can help me on this. Definitely not getting a scooter that you have thanks. So sorry about yours
You can get the tubes on Amazon 2 for $10 they are tight like they are showing but hold up fine. You need a different pump or at least an extension hose. I am currently using g one with no issues. As for the hub I had the same issue on my pro SE same issues with the tire waring and break disk clipping. Mines about a month old and the pads are toast I purchased it from voro and they were very cool and sent me a replacement compleat rear motor/hub free of charge. On mine and probably yours. It’s the clips or what look like clips. That you screw the rim to the hub through. They are drilled off center. At this point your probably sol but for new owners. And dude your tightening the wrong screws for the stem wobble pop off the front headlights cover those bolts and the bolts under the body need tightened. This is normal maintenance bro. The only real issue you have is the hub and yea that sucks. But the rest is because your not taking time to learn the proper way to care for your scooter. You don’t have to change the oil or pay for gas but you do need to keep the screws tight. All of them. Loc tight is very helpful. And while you have the headlight cover off waterproof that compartment with silicon. That’s the most important thing you need to do ASAP. The hub well you can always switch it to the front and pull the break caller off but fluid should have replaced that. Maybe you can ask companies that sell/ repair the mantis if they have a blown motor you could buy/ have check if it’s straight by looking at the gap on those tabs. If they are uneven it’s no good. Heck even the one on voros commercial is wobbly. Well hope you get it working. I don’t see any reall issues that would make me give up on it. Just take some time to learn how it works and how it is put together. And what care is your responsibility and you’ll have a bad mofo ride I promise
Thanks for your honesty and this video. I will NEVER buy this scooter. $1600.00 well saved. I’m happy watching even with a simple commuter scooter. Signed..:new loyal subscriber!
