Name: Kaabo Skywalker
Brand: Kaabo
SKU: SCT-KBSKY-001

Description

The Kaabo Skywalker is the brand’s entry-level commuter family, sitting well below the dual-motor Mantis and Wolf lines. The headline 10C runs a single 800 W rear hub motor on a 48 V 15.6 Ah 18650 lithium pack (about 749 Wh), with Kaabo quoting a 50 km/h top speed and roughly 55 km of range at a 75 kg load on flat road. It rides on 10 x 3.0-inch pneumatic tyres (street or off-road tread options), front-and-rear disc brakes with EABS regenerative assist, and dual suspension pairing a front C-type absorber with a rear spring. A 6061-T6 aluminium frame folds at the stem, the deck carries an anti-skid surface, and an LT-01 LCD shows speed, battery and trip data. The lighter 8H variant drops to 8-inch wheels (front pneumatic, rear solid), a 350 W or 500 W motor on a 36 V 10.4 Ah or 48 V 13 Ah pack, and a rear drum brake with EABS, weighing as little as 17 kg for easy carrying onto public transport. Across the line the rated load is 120 kg and the official climb rating is under 25 degrees. Kaabo does not publish an IP rating for the Skywalker, and there is no built-in app, though an optional third-party Bluetooth phone app is available.

Model history

Kaabo introduced the Skywalker as the accessible commuter tier beneath its performance Mantis and Wolf families. The line spans several wheel and battery configurations, with the 10-inch 10C and 10H and the compact 8-inch 8H aimed at urban riders, and a later V2 revision refreshing the chassis. It positions Kaabo’s engineering in a lightweight, foldable single-motor format rather than the high-power dual-motor builds the brand is best known for.

Pros & cons

Pros

Lightweight, foldable build; the 8H is easy to carry and store
10-inch pneumatic tyres plus dual suspension smooth out rough city surfaces on the 10C
Disc brakes with EABS on the 10C give confident, controlled stopping
Real-world range stays close to the quoted figures in owner reports
120 kg rated load and a sturdy 6061-T6 aluminium frame

Cons

Single motor and modest power make it a commuter, not a performance scooter
Full recharge takes most of a working day (around 7.8 hours on the 10C)
No manufacturer IP rating, so wet-weather durability is unspecified
No integrated app; only an optional third-party Bluetooth app exists
The 8H pairs a rear drum brake with a solid rear tyre, a firmer and less progressive setup

Verdict

4/5 Reviewer consensus · 2 sources

The Skywalker is Kaabo’s straightforward commuter line: the 10C delivers a comfortable, well-braked 10-inch ride with usable range, while the 8H trades reach for a lighter, more portable package. Neither chases speed records, but both cover daily urban trips reliably. Buyers wanting wet-weather assurance should note the absence of a published IP rating.

What reviewers say

The 800w motor delivered swift acceleration and maintained a respectable top speed of 42 kph without breaking a sweat.
