Kaabo Mantis King GT vs Nami Klima: Battle of the Best!

The Kaabo Mantis King GT and Nami Klima are two of the best light-heavyweight performance electric scooters ever made, but which one is better? This comparison will be looking mostly at riding feel and performance, rather than diving too deeply into the components and stuff that I frankly don't care as much about. Check out the reviews of these scooters below for a deep dive into all the features and components.

This is the video I've been waiting for! Thanks, great comparison!

[@curtflirt2]

Would like to trust Nami but with what I am hearing and seeing with Michael Sha is doing to customers these days isn't good. There have been so many complaints about broken stems and other stuff lately and he's just been blocking and ignoring people who have come with the complaints. Not GOOD!

I'm looking pretty hard at getting one of these two scooters, can you please give me your opinion on the deck space and which seems to have more foot room? Thanks

[@Mr.Goat_]

Do you think that the handlebars are too high for someone who is about 5'9? (Im not full grown in height yet) I have been looking at both of these scooters for fun for a while (i dont have nearly enough money), and im trying to narrow it down to just one scooter to kinda save up for. The main parts for me is the top speeds (which is not that different, but 70km/h sounds better than 65km/h), but also how safe it is to ride. i dont know for sure, but i think that handlebars that are too tall could be a safety factor.

[@shanew7361]

Is there hybrid or offroad tires available for the klima?

[@americatheblind5820]

Got my Klima on Sunday afternoon, and have 117 miles on it already! Really enjoying it so far. Well made, and by your size comparison, makes the Mantis (the other scooter I was looking at) look kinda like a kid toy. I'm 6' 1“ and appreciate the wide tall handlebars, the longer deck, the adjustable suspension. I'm really glad I chose this over the other scooters. Been getting around 40 miles per charge (30ah model) from 99%-->15% ish. I did have brake sensor issue (Fluidfreerides sending replacement sensors), but other than that, it's been good to go (knock on wood).

[@nicknie8782]

Love your video. Just one question. Have you tried the Kaabo Mantis V2? Is there an improvement over the problems that you had in the old mantis? How does the Mantis King GT compare to them? Thanks a lot.

[@aakashbakshi2469]

I’ve got both the Mantis V2 and MKGT. The V2 is slightly slower at 40mph compared to 45, but the V2 is lighter, more nimble, and honestly more fun. The GT has a steering dampener which I usually don’t enjoy and its e-brake hits pretty hard no matter how lightly you touch the brakes. They’re both awesome but I prefer the V2 myself

[@nicknie8782]

@@aakashbakshi2469 Thanks a lot. That kind of confirm my preference. I do prefer a more lightweight scooter. One thing I am worried about is that MKGT seems to suffer from snapping stem more often than the v2 (more cases reported on reddit) but reports for the v2 are rarer. Not sure if more people own the MKGT but I suspect the opposite is true.

[@HxHeisenberg]

@@aakashbakshi2469hi, is there any way to modify how stiff the dampeners are? I find it hard to drive the MKGT on slower speeds because of the dampener

As awesome as the RGB is on the side of the King GT, which was one thing I rather liked, since it's so eye-catching at night and let people know you were there, the Mantis V2 has that awesome light bar on the underside and is... a touch more subtle. Still kicking myself for not getting the bigger battery version of the V2. >.>

[@Rafael-ri2ft]

First time scooter buyer and I'm looking for some advice on scooter choice. Generally looking for a commuter in which I'll be doing approximately 13 miles pd, no doubt I'll end up doing some recreational riding as well. I live in an extremely hilly suburb and am 6ft1 and weigh 265lbs,, So I think I'll need a two motor option but, high speed is really not a concern. I'm considering: Klima, Phantom V3, VSETT10+ and the Mukuta 10+. Your thoughts? Or are there other options to consider? Because of my weight and hills I have ruled out cheaper options though frankly that's all I'd like to spend.

[@futmut1000]

Nami Klima is the best at his price range hands down and will fit you perfectly, has good range and power and its more advanced than the competition and its more comfortable too

[@ssoffshore5111]

I ordered an Imnotion RS and currently have a Mantis V2. I was planning on keeping the Mantis V2 for a second/guest scooter, or for when I wanted to transport a scooter somewhere... but the 36-38 mph top speed is just a hair to slow to flow with traffic in my area. I decided to replace the Mantis and had all these on my short list, with the RS5+ and 10+ being near the top. I saw a sale on the Teverun Blade GT+ and it caught my eye. After seeing they have revised it with a V2, I decided there was no better value. Larger 11" tires, 1500W x2, sine wave controllers, 30Ah LG battery, 50+ mph, 79lbs, TFT display, NFT lock, nice app, adjustable hyd suspension (same as on the Nami), steering damper, etc, but I paid $1928 (shipped) for it. That's a lot of scooter for the money compared to the others I was looking at. Anyway, it shipped from China the other day so I look forward to checking it out next month.

[@kraphun]

Mantis King GT should be called Mantis Pro, Mantis 10 Dual is good for changers from small Ninebot,Xiaomi escooters. But if u want upgrade ,every high performance scooter comes with 30AH+ battery. So Mantis King GT is "nothing" with his 25AH battery.

[@Braveheart18]

Yet the scooter gave me easily no issue 28miles full send dual motor and when I was riding eco mode on dual motor I’ve done 40miles so it definitely holds up and it truly is elite I done beat stock surrons and beat plenty dualtrons lol other kaboo scooters no issue and if range truly a issue you just need ti buy a extender battery little bag hang it on the scooter now you good power and range 🤝🏽💪🏽

The mantis king GT folds and locks up and if you’re strong enough like me you can carry it with one hand. If Nami had something similar I would totally get it. I’m sick and tired of the handle bars trashing around in the back of my vehicle as I turn because it just folds instead of locking
