The NEW Mantis V2 Escooter: Unboxing & Review 

I love 🇦🇺

Thank’s Jimmy, I’m also a member and one of the admins of Perth’s fastest growing and most active escooter groups - WA Scooter Enthusiasts (WASE). Hopefully one day you boys can take a trip downunder and come on a group ride with us. 😉🛴👍

That's what I do I lift the front tire to see if it's spinning 😄

So, you don't like the mantis? I'm not seeing a solid opinion here

@@Ekairah extremely confused myself😂

are u sober? get help before u post again

I just spoke with ewheels, they have them listed but the delays have been crazy with no end in sight.

@@freshlycharged I see buddy and Thanks for the info...I will check ewheels out👍..

Why only lots ?

@@Same_ol_jee man these cops are Gung ho,a guy did get crushed though

Can you give me an example of such a high end scooter with self-sealing tires

@@h.hristov Nami Burn E2, Teverun Fighter, Blade Gt, a few of the Dualtrons, Apollo City ‘22, off the top of my head.

That's what happened to me I had it for at least 4 days and after that every time I turned on to scooter the light would come on I just left it

which one did you get?

Did you end up going with one ? I’m actually debating over the same two now.

It all depends on the road conditions. They're videos explaining it.Research & study it.

This is the 24.5 amp hour version. There is two V2 versions.

There screws and bolts are horrible i have a wolf warrior and 6 screws sheared off my scooter in 6 months they use hhe worst nuts and bolts!

Which is the more robust and reliable alternative to the Kaabo Mantis in your opinion?

@@h.hristov Vsett is much better quality and they use to be known as Zero. A new competitor on the block is Varla. But don’t expect any customer support they are known to be none existence. Dualtron fine as it’s tried and true. If I were to rate how the scooters hold up over time Dualtron first, Vsett second, Varla third & Kaabo last.

The Mantis Pro has Minimotors controllers and display. This version has a smoother acceleration where the Mantis Pro has a faster acceleration and top speed.

fold the stem. look into the bottom of the stem and adjust that bolt to the point that it feels sturdy when the stem is unfolded.

I would get a nami because it has a really high stem height

You can actually program the color i believe with an app

Lazy rolling. Safety gear link in the description.

You can adjust the p settings on it.

The smaller battery version is under $2k

TSG pass. Link to our safety gear in the description.

They have the V2 in the 18.2 ah and 24.5 amp hour version. The pro models are the ones with Minimotors displays and controllers. The V2 is Sinewave vs Minimotors square wave.

How fast do you want to go? There's too many to list.

@@Andrew-vt4jt 0 TO 60 KPH as quickly as possible and a top speed of up to 80 KPH Thanks

Did the same thing and canceled my Apollo order.

They still offer it with the Minimotors display and controller.

Agreed

Ok Buzoi

Saw a video where the guy flipped the brake levers over and upside-down an it fixed the throttle angle issue. I guess it allows the throttle and brake lever to sit closer to each other and makes for better angle on the throttle.

Maybe it's not their scooter, so they try not to modify it. Maybe they test scooters so you get an out-of-the box review.

580 mile update: Had to replace a flat tire, rear tube popped on me, still unsure what caused it as nothing was seen visibly punctured through the tire; verdict is still out on that one. The hex screws were massively overtightened, partially stripped one of the suspension bolts getting it loose enough to get the tire off. Same went for the hinge bolt. Once they were loosened and that seal was broken, it was relatively smooth sailing from there. Front rotor got warped somehow. I have no idea what could have caused it, wish I could post pictures of what it looks like, but it's kinda wild. Looks like someone grabbed it with some pliers and physically bent the actual disc itself slightly. It doesn't interfere with the riding quality, yet, but it's my next change. I tend to ride at full power a lot and I've got the lesser battery. Full throttle riding will net you around 18-20 miles, would be my bet, considering everything. I've personally gotten 23 miles out of mine riding at around 28mph on cruise control. I say I got 23 miles because it was nearing that voltage cut off point and sitting at 45v when I was still moving, but hadn't gone out quite yet. Headlight is plenty bright enough for night riding. LED strips on the underside are VERY helpful for visibility's sake. E-braking is kinda rough if you use both brakes. Often I just use the rear brake, which isn't great because of wear and tear, but it's manageable. I just use it because even 'lightly' braking with the rear brake and having e-braking enabled is actually pretty damn strong. Again, just fairly abrupt feeling compared to having it off. Gear 1 pushes you to around 17mph, Gear 2 goes up to 25-26, and Gear 3 is all the way up to top speed. I've personally gotten it up to 40 before on a flat road, wearing minimal gear, but it'll often just ride up to around 37mph without issue. Handles the heavier hilly roads here in Gainesville Florida. Wall of text, but I figure anyone that cares to read might find it useful. If you have any questions, ask away. :) Only regret is not buying the bigger battery version. (Though that can be swapped relatively easily, and since it was bought through FluidFreeride, I get it half off. :D)

Why haven't more people liked this comment? Isn't what I'm saying worry everyone's thumb up?! Not sure how anyone can skip past this undeniable, not to be ignored, piece of information.

It really depends on what type of riding you do. The Mantis is much more portable since it locks into itself while folded. The Varla Eagle One has a larger deck. However, the biggest issue is Varla has poor after sale service. If you have anything break down, you have to wait months for parts.

@@Andrew-vt4jt that's good to know, all I actually have right now is the turboant x7 pro, and a onewheel GT in the mail, I wanna upgrade to a better performance scooter sometime soon

U can't compare a varla to a kaabo

Nothing is faster or better than the Mantis V2

@@zaincuriel ended up ordering a kaabo wolf warrior x, should be here next week 👍

I agree

Denver, Colorado.

@@freshlycharged Hello, how is this Kaabo Mantis with LT01 and kaabo electronics? Is it powerful in acceleration? That is to say, the wheels spin with a lot of torque or is it quiet and boring? thank you I await your response

There horrible flats all the time

He should he knows way more than jimmy lol
