#NewElectricScooter #Kaabo #MantisV2 @fluidfreeride - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Guys you did it again . Excellent review , Mantis in my opinion is the best of both worlds . fast , comfortable , portable and great performance . Thanks
Thank you! We work hard on these 👏
That display tho 🤦♂️
@rob Yeah is time to redesign the display and upgrade visibility, but the performance is really good. More smooth acceleration and less dead sone . Thanks
@@mantaescooters9899 yeah scooter definitely looks good, nearly there
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide BIG DOG, HOW FAST WILL IT GO WITH YOU ON IT? SEMPER FI
GUNNY
That’s why I love this channel, you guys have metric terms for everyone outside of the U.S. Thank you, we appreciate that extra work.
Our pleasure!
Damn ya even updated the ending. Great work!
Thanks paul. You’ve put this scooter on my “next scooter list”. Sine, range, speed, ip, brakes, stem stability, price, all are welcoming features. 65 lbs is the only holdback. I’m looking to see reviews on another light performance scooter, the toooo expensive but lighter dualtron spider v2. Plus i learned the spider v2 has a square wave rather than a sine, ugh
Thanks for your feedback!
- Vosk
Have never really understood why people complain the LT01 display is hard to see in sunlight. It's impossible to see in sunlight! It is an excrement design and as such someone could make money by marketing a bolt on replacement that you could actually see.
Another awseome review guys, anyways love watching what you and your team create 😁
Thanks for watching!
-Vosk
i dont see any problems to view dashboard in sunny day with my mantis 10 .. its ok..maybe
Dudes...I GOT ONE!!!!!!!! LETS GO!!!! It's totally all your faults lol, I'm in love. Popping wheelies, burning out, riding with 1 hand. Omg I'm seriously in love!!!
Enjoy your awesome ride!
-Vosk
I'm really happy that you guys posted this and I feel like I made a good purchase. Bought it on day one when it was released.
I would really like to see the specs written out I'm assuming you guys are going to do a full review on your website with all the speed test results etc?
I purchase it a few hours ago, im happy to see this video,
@@sinrespetopr6884 have you gotten any problems with it ? have you ride on rain ? thanks in advance
Great review... Love you Guys😎
Thanks for watching!
-Vosk
Bought the mantis v2 because of this review and because it is big dog approved. I like it when big dog gives approval, and adds a side of comedy,
Riding is such a thrill, but gotta get a better a helmet so I can max it out
It’s a awesome scooter! Definitely grab a better helmet. Regards -Vosk
Gorgeous video 👍
Thank you so much Ron! -Paul
Thanks... I won your
Apollo Phantom V2... I adore you always😎🙏🏼♥️
Thanks for the kind words!
-Vosk
Great video👍
Thanks for the visit
Need one of these would love to review these mantis scooters ! Got a mantis 10 lite and a mantis 10 pro coming Tuesday !
Enjoy your scooters!
-Vosk
Great improvements finally a main player getting the indicators, front mounted headlight and better ip rating in there. However a thumb throttle option would be good. High light looks like it could be better plus I’m not a fan of those front white deck lights as Indicators. To me improve the headlight, add a central red break light at the back and make the 4 corner deck lights orange to be proper indicators. It’s good to see they are heading in the right direction improvement wise tho.
To you and I the improvements seem obvious.
Why somebody hasn't come in like apple did when they came out with their first iPhone and just "get it" is beyond me.
Can't really expect too much for this price. I agree with thumb throttle, but a decent front light costs $20 and they did waterproof it which was a major downside before.
@@adambaszak5465 true and now they have thumb throttle on the new mantis king! So be interesting to see if they offer this on the standard model eventually!
I just picked up a slightly used V2 today. Unfortunately it has the smaller generic battery, but it came with a lot of accessories, looks super clean, and has less than 300 miles on it. I couldn't resist for $800. I'm looking forward to riding it based on your review!
Enjoy your new ride! Stay Safe. -Vosk
Good lord I wish I could have found one for that price! How's it held up since? :D
@@imglidinhere Zero issues with it! Solid scoot.
Just an FYI the generic batteries are better than the LG
The Kaabo Mantis V2 from Fluid FreeRide is my first “serious” scooter after putting in about 250 miles on more consumer-oriented rides. Those were important miles though .. the Mantis V2 is a serious vehicle, not a novelty or toy. Your bicycle helmet is necessary but not adequate.
My scooter in my town with my weight and my gear achieves a top speed of 38 mph. Anything over 25 mph is scary fast unless you have some kind of protective gear above and beyond what you’d wear on a bicycle. This means an actual motorcycle helmet, and abrasion-resistant pants and jacket, at a minimum.
Once you have your gear in place, the Mantis is almost like a little motorcycle. You can zoom around with a smooth ride and powerful acceleration and braking.
For the uninitiated .. this scooter is radically different from the city rentals. The Mantis V2 can take you all over town at city traffic speeds, without using any gas.s
Cons? It could use a bigger and brighter headlight, but so could everything. The cover for the charge port is a little bit cheap .. more rubber and less plastic would serve it better.
Awesome, commandingly capable scooter. Maybe more than you need if you’re looking for a local in-town ride!
Great feedback! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Currently I have a boosted rev and of course the terrible range is the reason that I’m looking to upgrade to another dual motor scooter. The Mantis and Ghost are both on my radar. Thank you for your insightful review of this scooter. It’s swaying me more to choose this one.
Mantis has a slight better suspension!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideno discussion about the battery?
Awesome scooter. But there actually is a mantis model from early 2020 with the same sine wave controllers and LT01 display. Also dual motor. I have it and I quite like it. I think it was called the Mantis 10 custom and I was only able to find it on AliExpress. Because it's an earlier model it lacks the headlight and indicators tho
Thanks for the feedback!
-Vosk
Thanks for the review! I'm looking forward to the written version.
What is it about the Zoom brakes that makes the ergonomics a poor combination with the trigger throttle? Do the adjustable levers help?
P.S. I hope a VSETT 9 review is coming soon!
Thank you!
Great question. It's that the housing for the trigger throttle bumps into the top of the tall-ish Zoom master cylinder, so we just can't rotate the trigger down as close to the brake lever as we would like to. It's even worse with EY3 and Zoom brakes. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Makes sense. Thanks for the answer!
Really thinking of getting this for my commute to work. 8 mile round trip. I've had the boosted since it came out but you really don't get anywhere close to the range they say. This seems like a fun upgrade.
It’s an awesome scooter
-Vosk
Yeah, one important thing he didn’t mention is that this new Mantis not only comes with sinewave controllers but you can optionally get it with a larger battery (24.5 Ah)- the eight mile round trip will be a piece of cake -Note :I advise against getting the Pro version as it does not come with sinewave controllers-Get the 2022 base model V2 with the larger battery.
Great video
Thanks so much for the kind words!
-Vosk
Getting one by summer
I love the video thumbnail ahahah
Thanks for your feedback!
-Vosk
I like the lights.
I'm not so sure cagers will acknowledge the turn signals but they are nice to have anyways.
Thanks for your feedback!

We recently discovered your channel while looking for a replacement+upgrade to our Mercane Widewheel Pro 2020 for city+suburb rides in Stockholm (Sweden).

Congratulations and *thank you so much !*

I just bought one of these. Thanks for the info to help decide to get this one over a ghost. Quick question about it though? Does it need a steering dampener? If so where should I get it from?
There should be no issues without the damper! Very stable ride! Thanks for watching
-Vosk
How about a video detailing the top best dual stem scooters?.. if possible
Great Idea! Thanks for the suggestion
-Vosk
Thanks for the look at the V2 Paul, looks like a good upgrade. How would you say this rates against its nearest direct price competitor in the Varla Eagle One which i am surprised you didnt show as a direct comparison. I do beleive the Eagle one is $1,699 also with the only difference i can see is that the Varla is a 52V where the V2 is a 60V
This mantis definitely packs a better punch of features for the price comparing to varla
Thanks for watching
-Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Many thanks for the reply and definately interesting to know!
I got a mantis I love it 🥰
Congrats! Enjoy! -Paul
Big Dog approved Epic!
Hope they'll release an update as well for the baseline Mantis 8 with a similar headlights and tail signal.
Let’s hope
Please do a review on the dual tron City
I would love to. Fun to see something so different come out. Not sure when or if we will review it. But we usually get our hands on the most important Dualtrons. -Paul
That thumbnail is beautiful!
Thanks for your comments!
-Vosk
I'm sold as soon as I heard sine-wave controllers
It’s a great scooter
Are you guys sure max rider weight is 265lb / 120kg? I've seen it being advertised as 330lb / 150kg on some stores. This is important info for heavy riders. Thank you ESG!
330lbs is incorrect for the mantis
Those specs are only for fluid edition or will it be available in this config in other location like France ? (Like the ipx5 rating)
You would have to ask your local dealer!
-Vosk
Are you going to review the mantis pro plus?
I got the 60v 35ah battery id love to know what you think of it
Nothing is planned as of now! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
Nice scooter front and
Rear turn singles!
Thanks for your feedback!

I have a question about
Adding a trailer to my
Scooter.
I have a Emove Cruiser
And was looking at a
Dom T1 trailer that
Converts to a suitcase
And has a 66 pound
Capacity.
Is there any other trailers that would work for electric scooters.
Thanks.
Please contact Voro Motors so they can better answer this question. Thanks! -Vosk
I’m so intrigued by this scooter. You think it’s good for a 1st time scooter rider???? Looking to get my 1st scooter.
Yes it’s a great scooter! You can change the mode to level 1 for speed until you get the hang of it and then increase the speed limiter
-Vosk
Hey ! What is the black thing that they put on the scooter to make it IPX5 ?
Most likely waterproof silicone!
Hi paul or vosk, v2 fluid question: for $2099 (i believe), you get 10 more miles with 24.5 ah LG and ey3. Is it worth it? I don’t need the extra miles but the LG and ey3 are mildly interesting, what’s your thoughts?
It depends on how long you will keep the scooter! Eye is better but not much better and battery should get 500 charges before it starts to lose cells and 500 charges is ALOT! By then you will probably be getting a new scooter
-Vosk
The mantis v2 (all black) has a basic s4 throttle it seems and a sine wave controller, the mantis pro se v2 (exciting gold pop) has the ey3 throttle and a square wave controller. I think this is accurate. What difference does the throttle have on the ride acceleration/quality of the two manti when ridden?
Sinewave is usually smoother and less jerky then the squarewave
How does this scooter compare to the dualtron raptor 2? Do you guys have a review of the dualtron raptor 2?
We have not reviewed the raptor yet
-Vosk
I have the mantis pro V2, with the new motors, headlight etc. Can't wait for you to review that one! I hope they upgrade to sinewave for the pro version soon, I'd swap it out in a jiffy!
How much?
@Lowell Dagdag I got it for 1950 shipped on aliexpress but it's more expensive in the states.
I'm getting mine in a month... What's your real top speed on the Pro V2?? They don't come with Sine Wave because those ESCs are not compatible with the EY3 display
@JuanSQuiP well, the hope is that they do come out with sinewaves with a new display. The display is easy to make, just need a sinewave controller to come out with 27a output... ugh. It tops at 38 on the GPS flat ground
Is there a bluetran lightning review coming?
Not anytime soon!
-Vosk
Hello there which do you prefer the Mantis V2 base or the Vsett 10+ base?
Thanks y’all appreciate your channel 💪👍💯
Vsett 10+ I slightly favor but they are both excellent to be honest! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks 🙏 I appreciate you. I was thinking 🤔 the same just needed a little direction before spending 2000.
What is the best way to secure this scooter or any scooter? I did not see a lock on it. Please advise, thks 😁🙏
A U-lock at the base of the stem, behind the front suspensiom is best. Unfortunately, all locks are still vulnerable. I wouldn't leave it outside for more than 15 minutes even when locked up. -Paul
I was on the phone with one of the associates and he told me this was about to release. I still ordered the pro tho lol
We’re looking forward to checking out the new Pro too! -Paul
Hello ESG i always liked Kaabo and the Mantis! I found this with the 24,5ah battery the PRO version and they sell it for 2,000e. Do you think its a good price for it? You guys always been so helpful i cant thank you enough also i have learned so much from you guys! :)
Sounds like a retail price to us! It’s a very good scooter but slightly dated.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yes its a retail price i dont have a shop. yeah just seen your klima review they sell this here also but its a bit pricy i think.
How would this compare to something like the Vsett 10+?
Both excellent scooters!
You can’t go wrong with either
-Vosk
Guys, I´m considered purchase one of these Kaabo scooters. I was pretty leaned about Wolf Warrior X, by the suspension, lights and horn, but...after see this review, honestly I don´t know which one to choose. I think the Mantis V2 could be a really good deal, looks wonderfully comfortable. Little help here! thanks.
wolf warrior is not as portable. is that important to you?
Oooh! Tough call. Yeah, the Wolf X is faster, heavier and less portable. I do like the 10x3 tires on the X.
The X is better for sustained high speed. It’s steering is more stable but a little less nimble than the Mantis.
Both have awesome throttle response. Hard to go wrong with either. If you need to haul it up stairs, get the Mantis. If you make a lot of short trips or need to fold it often, then Mantis.
If you want to ride for an hour at a time then Wolf X. -Paul
Is the Mantis V2 suspension better or same compare to Mantis Pro SE?
Should be extremely similar
-Vosk
Are there any recommended scooter repair shops in the Bay Area?
We we recommend alienrides shop pev.works
You guys sold me on the base Wolf X and now this Mantis V2 is throwing me off since it is 13Lbs lighter and that makes a difference. I was also thinking about the Dualtron Spider that is 57Lbs but I still haven't seen enough reviews to pull the trigger. This will be my first and hope it doesn't have too many problems. Do you have any long term 500 mile reviews that discover weakness in the different products? If you do it would be good for Big Dog Raime to do them since his bigger frame would test their limits.
Both are excellent scooters and you won’t go wrong with either. The Wolf X is more rugid
-Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I'm 6-2 so 42" handlebar height is best for me but the handlebars on the Wolf X are only 37" high.
Does anyone know if there is a handlebar riser for the Wolf X?
This price is similar to the vsett 9+R and I'm unsure which to get, portability is important to me but I'm not sure if it is that much less portable.
Mantis v2 is a better scooter IMO
-Vosk
*_Please compare this new Mantis with the Kaabo Wolf X (all their variants). TIA._*
Will do our best
I have a question pls. Should i always run dual motor or single motor? Does it save battery if I run single motor????
We always recommend running both motors! -Vosk
Can u guys do the quick review on the bluetran by Minimotors
We will look into that! Thanks for the suggestion. -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide the first 10.3 tire scooter with 72 v we need to see if it hold market position. u guys are the most respectable and honest Chanel in this industry.
@@kygnonkone1278 thanks for your kind words
-Vosk
Hello was this tested on the Kaabo mantis v2 18.2Ah battery version or the 24.5Ah battery version????
The bigger battery!
Sticking to my 2022 mantis pro for now. May I ask what is the "standard battery" in the v2?
18.2ah
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Sorry, I meant to ask if the standard battery is LG or Samsung or generic battery?
Standard battery is a china generic. I bought the one with the larger LG battery for $400 more. Worth it to me for longer battery lifespan and more range.
@@timoseppala7137 what is your top speed on the mantis pro V2?
A smooth throttle would be much appreciated on any powerful scooter. It would be nice if scooter companies could make the regenerative brake assist smooth as well. That's usually so grabby, I turn it off.
This scooter looks great and my experience with Kaabo Mantis 8 Fluid edition has been very good. I've owned and ridden scooters from Dualtron (Eagle), eMove (Cruiser), eTwow (GT) and can honestly say the Kaabo has a lot going for it. It's a better value than the Eagle and don't get me started on the Cruiser and the company that sells it . . . not a good experience. eTwow is very good for what it is, but comparing to Kaabo or Eagle is apples to oranges.
Thanks for your feedback!
-Vosk
Does the v2 Pro + have the sign wave smooth throttle as well?
Believe so!
I got 1 major upgrade request for this to be perfect " Tubeless tires" please
Yes Tubeless 10x3 with puncture resistance would be amazing! -Paul
Are you saying that the V2 of the lite plus has hydraulic brakes?
Mantis V2 Fluid Edition has hydraulic brakes! -Vosk
Hi Guys,
What’s the difference between the 2022 Mantis Pro SE gold VS the Mantis V2.
Thank you!!
Small differences in small features
Hello, is it true that there are 2 versions of MANTIS 10 PLUS ????
There is mantis v2 and mantis pro
Hey ESG will you guys be reviewing the mantis pro v2?
Not in the near future
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide What about the bigger battery 24ah v2 mantis or is that the pro model v2?
The new iron-Air glow is nowhere near as good but, it glows now
Nice to see your fleet expanding Ash!
Please compare it to nami burn e 72v 28ah or nami klima🙏🏼, i want to buy either one of it, thank you.
Thanks for the tip! Stay Safe out there. -Vosk
I just upgraded my semi hydraulic brakes on my old 2020 Mantis base to full hydraulic because the lines were fraying and snapping too much. They should just make scooters with full hydro in today's market. I should've DEF got the pro model. Mantis still the best price to performance ratio at it's weight.
Mantis is a great scooter
-Vosk
A lot of early Mantis adopters like RK9 rides talk about having issues finding replacement tubes, has this been resolved yet? Otherwise this is looking about just the right amount of scooter for me.
We have not had any issues with this
I had no trouble purchasing six of them that I've got on hand for my two scooters. Not sure if and when I'll need them but I've got them ready. I read up to only buy the CST ones
Is the V2 Version available in a European Store?
Would have to ask a local dealer! Not all dealers carry same models in different countries! -Vosk
Can you recommend a lightweight portable scooter that can reach speeds of 45-50mph that weigh less than 80lbs?
Check out our database on riderguide.com
Is the upgraded version better? The 24aph?
Slightly upgraded features! -Vosk
I have a question. on mine the headlight is on 24/7. Looks like in the video the headlight only turns on with the light button. On mine the light button turns on all the deck lighting but the headlight is on 24/7 which I thought was kind of silly it's going to waste power during the day and limit my range a little bit. Can you confirm which way it's supposed to be please?
Hi Timo,
Ours has a headlight button near the left grip, just over the turn signal switches. Did you get your Mantis from Fluid Freeride? That's where ours came from. -Paul
Yes I have the switch but it doesn't control the headlight it only controls the board lights. Headlight is always on. And yes I did buy it from fluid-free ride. Kaabo Mantis V2 that just came out like a week ago (I got the LG battery version 24ah)
I sent them an email to ask about it but haven't received an answer yet.
Where can you order/buy here in Canada? Thanks!
Fluidfreeride ships to Canada

Am I the only one that loves the whip lash from the kaabo mantis 2020
It’s a awesome scooter
-Vosk
I'm confused. Is the mantis 8 and mantis pro the same thing?
No they are different scooters!
-Vosk
Any comment on how long the range is on mantis v2 with the Lg battery upgrade?
I have that one but have noy been able to fully drain the battery on 25 miles top performance and with lots of incline and spirited riding
Are you referring to the mantis pro ?
Avoid the LG like the plague as it’s not an upgrade
The 18.2ah Mantis Pro gold or special edition is still a better deal for me. It has LG batteries. According to the link, the V2 18.2ah uses normal chinese batteries, right? Seems like the only option is 24ah where they offer LG batteries. And why do you even need a sinewave controller on this? It would make more sense if it is on the Wolf King GT or faster scooters.
Both are excellent values
Thanks for your feedback!
-Vosk
Great review again and it looks like a worthy machine. Turn indicators though? Still down by your feet where they're difficult for traffic to spot in a lot of situations. Instead, why not have the rear ones integrated into the back of the rear foot rest, along with a tail light, and the front ones as bright LED units integrated into the brake lever brackets, far more in line with what we see on motorcycles? For those of us who regularly ride on busy roads with no alternative routes available, that would be a really significant step forward in safety and visibility.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
-Vosk
Is it portable can you carry it on 2nd fl.?
It’s about 60lbs so it’s doable! -Vosk
How do i tell the differnce betweent he Mantis Pro 2021 versus the 2022 version? is there a way I can tell or v1 or v2?
Physically they are the same , ask your local dealer to verify what they are selling
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide what another option? because Im buying it brand new off marketplace. its manufacturing date is October 2021.
I bought my mantis 10 dual (2021 edition) 1 months ago… that’s my luck. I really miss the ipx5 rating :(
Still a awesome scooter all around!
-Vosk
I like the sinewave controller but don't really care for the Qs4, throttle feels kinda cheap, the Minimotor ey3 display is a lot better.
Yep the Ey3 is a better throttle
-Vosk
Why does this mantis V2 have front turn signals, but the mantis king gt doesn’t?
They change and remove some features from their scooters from time to time.
-Vosk
Nice
Thanks! Good to see you here! -Paul
I just got mine two days ago. Total newbie to this kind of transportation. Holy good Lord is this thing powerful. Rides great, but it'll take a minute to get used to this thing... Might've bitten off more than I could chew with this one! I'll edit this post as I reach each of the various mile markers (increments of 250) and let you all know how things go. :) Also for context, I'm in Gainesville, FL, so hills galore to test here too. :D
Edit 1 (Oct 5, 2023): Coming up on that first 250-mile mark and I am happy to say that I have had zero issues. I commute 8-10 miles a day often having to keep up with traffic, so the battery sees some pretty heavy exertion in daily use cases. For anyone interested, I was able to push this thing at full speed for just shy of 10 miles and still had half charge (according to the battery meter) remaining, and that was with 4-5 stops in-between. Probably a good idea to keep the charger with you if you want to keep it topped off, but it's handled daily back and forth commute without worry. :)
The headlight, while it seems dim from the review, is quite bright. I don't know if they improved the light, but it's brighter than the aftermarket option you can get from Apollo, or at least more focused than it appears otherwise. The illuminated underdeck is excellent, definitely helps with being seen on the rare occasion I decide to head out at night.
The stem latch is annoying, definitely my main complaint, but it's solid and does the job well enough. Kinda jealous at the single latch mechanisms on other scooters. I also live on a second floor apartment, so a single flight of stairs is well within reason.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks mate, I started with INMOTION climber, 38kmh is good but battery does down quite quick and 4/5 batteries goes 35, 3/5 32 etc. I think 40-50kmh is the really nice mark where you feel a bit of adrenaline and can actually feel the speed, I can just get that on my climber at 38, I still enjoy it after 1000’s of kms, but think I’ll be upgrading to this for the speed. The latch is great on this climber but tbh it’s not a game changer. Even if it took a few minutes it’s still not a big downside imo.
@@brandensworld3646 I have been having a few problems as of late with the mantis v2. Rear tire popped, swapped the tube out, but not before nearly stripping the suspension and hinge screws; nylock I think the mechanic that helped me called it. Also tire still leaks for some reason.
So it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Haven't been able to ride it in almost three weeks. :/
Nice ii h had the mantis pro 2 and didn't like the twitching and how it just blasts off with the slightest touch
The newer one has sine wave controllers and are much more smoother! -Vosk
Are the tires tubeless on the V2?
No they are tube tires! Thank You.
I have the original that’s modded to go a little over 45mph. I also have an after market headlight 900 lumens - the one provided looks lack luster. IPX rating is cool, but who rides in the rain anyway? The turn signals are cool, horn is silly. Doesn’t seem worth the extra 100. I’d go with the v1 instead - fluid free ride. I bought my V1 a year ago. Kaabo mantis pro 10 fluid edition
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
I would only go for those with twist throttle like segway gt2
Yes those are awesome but it’s a easy aftermarket change if you have a decent mechanic. -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide true
What was the average speed during the range test?
20.2MPH
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thank you!
I just bought the v2 base model, but I just maxed out a range of 25km on a smooth surface with a fully charged 18.2mah battery. Even though I didn't know I drove on a single motor only for the first 12km. I will keep testing, but something tells me that the battery might be dead :(
How was were you driving ?
