[@Otiia]

Great job Ginger, to my HUGE suprise you showed me that this suspension part can be replaced without taking of the wheel. Which is HUUUUGE time saver :D it's a huge tip... to much huge here :P

[@dylansmith300]

Hi mate. I bought the bike shown in the video after watching a video on it that you had done. I was disappointed to find that my controlller was on 48V when you confirmed it was an 60V bike. My bike had gotten so hot that some of my wiring had burnt. It is not a 60V bike theoretically because the controller is 48V which means it can overheat and cause fires which is very dangerous because its a kids bike and is kept in a house and could catch fire. Not only that but I have paid for a bike I wasn't getting. I think you should let your channel/fans/viewers know that these company's are ripping people off.... just to let you know the 60v 18.2AH it is not really 18.2 ah. This company is scamming people mate. Please do something about it as you have a platform to speak on it.

[@GingerOnWheels]

I dont know which bike you're talking about. The Roadrunner Pro is the only bike in this video and it is definitely 60v battery/charger.

U better change those screws underneath the deck I watched a video The Electric Scooter Guy did they shear off like crazy I would change all of them to stainless steel

[@GingerOnWheels]

Underneath the deck? Do you have a video or picture reference you can link me to so I can better understand what you're talking about?

[@dragonking2311]

​@@GingerOnWheelsyou see your thumbnail and you see the screws underneath the deck theres 6 that go around the deck and 4 in the middle part of the deck you cant miss them like I said there the screws shown in your thumbnail

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eojCiquZndabq68&feature=share9 I believe this is the video he's referring to. At 2:22 he mentions screws that had sheared off underneath the deck. After seeing it I replaced them on my GT with stainless for the peace of mind. Especially since he said he's only a 140 pound rider.

Thank you!!!! Received my spring kit the other day, and I was super stoked when I saw this. Ride That Tasty Wave

[@TonyC-s3g]

Love your videos, just recently purchased Kaabo Wolf king GT pro I saw you replaced an upgraded your rear suspension, bushing and springs. I would like to do the same thing but the website that you said we got yours I went to it for the past two days it says under construction are they in business anymore? Do you know if not, do you know of another company that sells replacement, upgraded springs and bushings for the scooter, i’m located in the USA Michigan,

[@robslams2324]

The website seems to work for me. Im from Michigan too!

[@Astimar.]

I put a video on the King / GT Group which outlines a fix that doesnt involve using aftermarket springs or bushings. - The main issue here is the incorrectly sized washer which near immediately starts digging into the softer rubber bushing on any suspension travel - this destroys the bushing and thus the rear suspension.... Most people go out and buy Poly Bushings and call it a day - Poly bushings are harder and therefore dont get destroyed as easy as the soft rubber, however it also rides harder (like shit, some say) due to the stiffer setup. There is also a second problem in that poly bushings are inflexible - meaning over time they get squished down with weight, but dont have the ability to bounce back into their original shape like the factory bushings do. I purchased properly sized washers and then used epoxy and physically glued the washer itself to the stock rubber bushing so that it acts as 1 single piece. This stopped the washer from moving around and digging into anything - thus preserving the stock bushings - im now 600 miles on my factory bushings and have no deformation at all. It really is as simple as immobilizing the washer and costs you a tube of glue

[@kalvinrhone901]

Link to vid please...

[@patc2515]

Thanks for posting this. Very informative and I'm considering this myself before i have this issue on my king gt pro. I wish kaabo didn't continue such a known issue down their line of models.

[@GingerOnWheels]

That's very true. The stock bushings also stop the compression of the spring well before they are bottomed out. The bushings that come with this kit are around 30% shorter too, so the springs can compress more. Just to the point before they bottom out.

[@triz5634]

I just did mine today after buying the kit in the last fall. Have a little under 700 miles and only do road riding and usually pretty smooth not hitting to many cracks or bumps. The washer was sliced right into the stock rubber bump. I had trouble getting pin in. Both sides have that grub screw so undid both and tried sliding through the other side after greased that rod up and it would get through all the holes except one on the end. Pulling up on wheel wasn’t working. Ended up having to loosen up the two bolts that go through the springs and wiggle it to adjust it then tightened them and was finally able to push the rod all the way through. It is good to have one of those grub screws on the rod when putting it back through so the hammer doesn’t mar up the rod and make it now fit through the hole. I was able to put 8mm Allen on and spin and push rod most of the way since I had greased it. Ride was def a bit more stiffer. Went with the green set and I weigh 175lbs. I seen they been swapping gtr rear swingarm and also front fork from gtr. Think I will eventually swap to those

[@bencoelho3]

Hey! You have a Makuta 10! You should do a comparison video. Makuta vs Vsett10+. Would be interesting to know the differences since the price is quite different.

[@GingerOnWheels]

I will do that. Good idea 👍

[@CrefloMack]

Great Video and kit! 2 days arrival time from coast to coast and made install a breeze, Thanks Ginger! My bushings were totally shot, now ive got a 1 inch lift with better suspension

[@philliz2629]

Brilliant video bro, keep the kaabo upgrades coming. What about the back/rear light upgrade to make it brighter don't know if it can take a brighter bulb upgrade

[@tunaphis1362]

You can buy the normal red tail light lens off a Warrior/GT which fits and is considerably brighter.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah, rear fender from the Regular king and 11+ wolf are the same size and not blacked out.

[@Katsoulinos]

What about the front suspensions that are not good either. I'm 136kg and it cannot support me properly. Any upgrade in these...? I've heard about "öhlins" and there's a video around but I can't find any information about this upgrade...

[@chrisginsburg6611]

Ok thanks -- But is there a way to go the opposite direction and get coils that have a lower spring rate? I need my Wolf Warrior X GT to be able to handle real trails, soft and supple suspension.... Right now it feels like a 1986 Huffy Mountain bike with spring forks.

[@RobnKath]

Enjoy your vids great job mate I just purchased my first scooter the mantis king gt I was a choice between that the wolf king or waiting for the gtr so the mantis won for portability and suspension 🤞🏼it’ll be the best choice but I’m thinking in the coming years will be the gtr keep up the good work from Rob down under.

I should mention I’m 6’2” and 246lbs fingers crossed the mantis handles my weight.

I weigh 195-200lbs (I work out a lot and my weight varies monthly) which makes it hard to choose which kit to get. Will the ultra duty make my ride too stiff? I do strap on a large speaker often but not sure if that justifies going ultra vs heavy.

[@GingerOnWheels]

I weigh about the same as you now. I prefer the ultra duty, but I also ride my scooter pretty hard. If you're just a commuter/cruiser doing the occasional curb hop then you'll probably be fine with heavy

Hey Ginger.. just got the kit.. but i also oreded red bushings from leet 3d.. the 75% ones.. and they are almost double in length than the ones that came with the kit.. Should i use the ones that came with your kit or the longer ones? Thanks

[@GingerOnWheels]

Try them both and use whichever you prefer. You've got it made with both options! I obviously prefer the shorter ones, that way the scooter squishes down more on the springs instead of the bushings. My bushings are made to act more like bumpers, to stop the spring compression right before it actually bottoms out and damages the spring.

I was thinking about what you said about not tightening the screws too much on reassembly, and it will give more travel.

How many turns do you suggest?

Just give it a peak under your rear fender with a flashlight. You'll see two springs (or a flap with two springs underneath on the GT pro). Inside the springs are two rubber bushings, if they look ripped, torn, or smashed, then your rear suspension is on the way out.
