Kaabo Mantis Pro electric vehicle

Description

The Kaabo Mantis Pro is the flagship 10-inch variant of Kaabo’s Mantis line. It pairs two 1000W hub motors on a 60V architecture with a 24.5 Ah LG battery (1470 Wh), driven through dual controllers that allow switching between single- and dual-motor modes plus eco/turbo power settings. Independent testing by Rider Guide recorded a top speed near 37 mph (about 59 km/h) and a real-world range of 33.7 miles (about 54 km), while the manufacturer and several reviewers cite up to 40 mph and around 45 miles in eco mode. The scooter rides on 10 x 2.5-inch pneumatic tires with adjustable front and rear spring suspension, and stops via dual hydraulic disc brakes paired with a programmable electronic ABS system. At roughly 65 lb (29.5 kg) it folds via a collar-style stem mechanism for transport. Reviewers consistently describe it as exceptionally well built, with thick metal parts and a stiff, planted feel that handles like a compact, more portable alternative to larger dual-motor machines.

Model history

The Mantis line debuted in 2019 as a collaboration between Kaabo and reseller Fluidfreeride, positioned as a stiffer, better-built alternative in the 40 mph dual-motor segment. The Mantis Pro designation refers to the higher-specification 10-inch configuration carrying the larger 60V 24.5 Ah LG battery and dual 1000W motors, distinguishing it from lower-capacity Mantis trims and from the separate, smaller 8-inch 48V Mantis 8 Pro. The platform became a long-running reference point in enthusiast reviews for its build quality and balance of power and portability, and was later iterated through V2 and refreshed Pro/Pro SE editions.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Strong dual-motor acceleration — roughly 0-15 mph in 2-3 seconds, well above its class
  • Outstanding dual spring suspension paired with 10-inch pneumatic tires for a smooth ride on rough surfaces
  • Powerful braking — semi-hydraulic on early models, fully hydraulic dual-disc on Pro/V2 versions
  • Bomb-proof build quality with a locking stem and minimal wobble
  • Long real-world range, with eco-mode figures around 40-45 miles on higher-capacity versions
  • Strong, even acceleration from dual 1000W motors
  • Large 1470 Wh LG battery delivers over 30 miles of tested range
  • Dual hydraulic disc brakes with short measured stopping distance
  • Robust, tightly assembled metal construction
  • Adjustable spring suspension front and rear

Cons

  • Heavy (around 61-66 lbs / 28-30 kg), limiting comfortable carrying despite folding
  • Ergonomically uncomfortable thumb/trigger throttle noted by multiple reviewers
  • Weak factory lighting that is insufficient for confident night riding on early models
  • Bulky when folded and no integrated locking mechanism
  • Early 2019 units suffered notable reliability and folding-mechanism problems before later refinement; base model lacked an IP water-resistance rating
  • Heavy at about 65 lb (29.5 kg) despite folding
  • Water resistance is disputed; rigorous reviewers report no verified IP rating
  • No companion app for tuning or diagnostics
  • Trigger throttle and stem can feel firm for new riders

Verdict

The Kaabo Mantis Pro remains a benchmark 10-inch dual-motor performance scooter, combining a large LG battery, two 1000W motors, hydraulic braking with ABS and a notably rigid build into a still-portable folding package. It suits experienced riders who want strong acceleration and range without stepping up to a full-size hyperscooter.

What reviewers say

  • The suspension pre-load is also adjustable. It makes the suspension adaptable for riders of different weights.
    Rider Guide
  • The Kaabo Mantis accelerates like an absolute monster.
    ERideHero
  • The Mantis Pro’s acceleration is pretty even and consistent at low speeds. It balances out at around 30 mph.
    Scooter Guide
  • Knife sharp yet smooth in operation.
