After my time with the Mantis, its personality as an urban speedster is clear – it thrills with performance but doesn't overlook everyday practicality (aside from wet conditions). This scooter is a compelling choice for those who can handle its vigor and are willing to work around its limitations.

Speed demons and urban explorers, take note: the Kaabo Mantis is tailored for you. Its combination of power and design caters to riders seeking thrill and efficiency in their daily commute or weekend adventures. However, those requiring a water-resistant ride might want to consider other options.
Upon first glance, the Kaabo Mantis strikes you with its robust frame and elegant curves, signaling a serious commuting machine. Materials feel premium, reassuring me of durability. The dual spring suspension caught my eye during rides – it's not just functional but gives this scooter a formidable stance.
The Kaabo Mantis excels in speed and agility. Zipping through traffic at 64 kph feels exhilarating – the rush of wind against my face reminded me of riding a powerful motorbike. Hill climbs at 10% gradients are tackled with surprising ease, while the range of 48 km kept me exploring without constant recharge worries.
That 2000w motor isn't shy about showing off; it delivers quick acceleration that pins you to the deck. The 1050 Wh battery consistently matched its promised longevity. Even after a full week of testing in different scenarios, from quick sprints to long cruises, battery life never faltered prematurely.
Pneumatic tires cushioned most road imperfections, although I felt every jolt on rougher terrains due to lack of water resistance. Disc brakes provided the needed stopping power for such a swift scooter, but I did experience some squeaking after several high-speed stops that hinted at early maintenance needs.
Navigating bustling streets or weaving through park pathways was mostly effortless. Comfort on long rides didn't disappoint, thanks to handlebars positioned at just the right height for my stance. Different environments posed no significant challenges to the Mantis' handling capabilities.
Routine checks were straightforward – I managed most tweaks using simple tools at home. Dealing with customer service was pleasant when inquiring about part availability which thankfully, are quite accessible if needed.
Integrated lighting proved essential during dusky rides home; they're bright enough to alert others of my presence. The electric gauges provided clear readouts that helped me manage speed efficiently without guesswork.
Weighing all experiences with the Kaabo Mantis, I rate it an 8 out of 10. Its blend of speed, range, and build quality impressed me thoroughly despite minor brake noise and the absence of water resistance which could be critical for some riders.
