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 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.

[@rxonmymind8362]

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.

[@adambaszak5465]

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.

[@e-scooterguy]

@@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!

[@howardgold5036]

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.

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!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

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

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

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.

[@GenZyannd]

wolf warrior is not as portable. is that important to you?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

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

[@smalltownsmoker4331]

Is there a bluetran lightning review coming?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Not anytime soon! -Vosk

[@carrickdubya4765]

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

[@yanassi]

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?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Sinewave is usually smoother and less jerky then the squarewave

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?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.

Hey ESG will you guys be reviewing the mantis pro v2?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Not in the near future

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide What about the bigger battery 24ah v2 mantis or is that the pro model v2?

Are you saying that the V2 of the lite plus has hydraulic brakes?

Mantis V2 Fluid Edition has hydraulic brakes! -Vosk

Hello was this tested on the Kaabo mantis v2 18.2Ah battery version or the 24.5Ah battery version????

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

The bigger battery!

Why does this mantis V2 have front turn signals, but the mantis king gt doesn’t?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

They change and remove some features from their scooters from time to time. -Vosk

Is the V2 Version available in a European Store?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Would have to ask a local dealer! Not all dealers carry same models in different countries! -Vosk

I'm confused. Is the mantis 8 and mantis pro the same thing?

No they are different scooters! -Vosk

Does the v2 Pro + have the sign wave smooth throttle as well?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Believe so!

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

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

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Are you referring to the mantis pro ?

[@chefgav1]

Avoid the LG like the plague as it’s not an upgrade

Are the tires tubeless on the V2?

No they are tube tires! Thank You.

"New standard," then 6 months later, a real standard-setter is released: the Mantis King GT... as long as reliability isn't an issue. Electric scooter market really needs supply & support system improvements ASAP.
