The Kaabo MANTIS PRO electric scooter just got better: With a new lighting package, full hydraulic brakes, and IPx5 waterproofing, it is designed for the demanding rider who wants it all! Swift inner city commutes with strong acceleration, excellent trail performance for those fun weekend rides, large batteries to master up to 45 miles between charges, and still allows carrying in one hand.
With 65 pounds this scooter is one of the lightest in its class. It folds down easily and is still portable, despite its strong performance.
The two powerful brushless 60V 1000W motors in combination with the 27A Minimotors controller deliver fun acceleration and climb up to 30% inclines with ease. Ride in single motor mode up to 30 mph while conserving your battery or switch on the second motor for extra acceleration and 40 mph top speed.
The front and rear advanced swing arm spring suspension delivers a smooth ride on any terrain. Ride over grass or on dirt trails, jump a curb in the city, this 40 mph electric scooter can handle pretty much any reasonable ground condition.
Dual full hydraulic brakes require minimal strength and provide more direct control during your ride. The Minimotors EY3 display/throttle combination allows configuration of speed limit, cruise control, regenerative braking strength, motor torque adjustments and ABS.
The brand new bright headlight at handlebar height lights up the road ahead of you while the two front and rear LEDs plus the bright lateral LED strips inside ensure you will be seen at night. The newly added turn-signals and horn make for safe riding in traffic.
Charge overnight with the included charger in 13-16h. 5A Fast Charger available to reduce charging time by 60-70%.

ADVANCED COMMUTER SCOOTER
Performance AND Portability for the Demanding Rider
ELEGANT & PORTABLE
With relatively slender design the Kaabo Mantis is a sleek high performance scooter that 'only' weighs in at 65 pounds, making it the lightest in its class. It folds down and is still portable in one hand, despite its strong performance. Only available in all black from fluidfreeride.
HIGH SPEED AND CLIMBING POWER
This 2000W electric scooter with dual brushless hub motors in delivers a top speed of 40 mph and can climb steep hills with ease. Due to the higher 27A of the Minimotors controllers inside your Mantis PRO, you can expect an even punchier acceleration than on the standard Mantis V2.
SMOOTH & COMFORATBLE
The front and rear advanced swing arm spring suspension in combination with the 10" pneumatic tires delivers a smooth ride on rough city streets and trails. The high sitting handlebars and the rear foot rest allow for a comfortable and secure stance.
STABLE FOLDING
In its third version, Kaabo has created a zero wobble folding mechanism that is super sturdy even when it gets a little rough.
LONG RANGE & LONG LASTING
The extra large 60V 24.5Ah Li-ion battery includes higher density cells manufactured by Samsung or LG so you can get up to 45 miles in range. Compared to the standard Mantis V2 with 18.2 Ah Chinese battery, you can expect your battery to degrade more slowly over time.
SAFETY FIRST
Now with a bright handlebar mounted headlight to light up the road ahead of you. The newly added horn and turn signals plus ample deck lighting make for optimal visibility and safe riding in traffic. Dual Zoom hydraulic disc brakes provide full control and stopping power during your ride.

COMMUTER FAVORITE
Made to Delight the Demanding Daily Rider
With enough range and speed to eliminate public transport altogether, it is still foldable and versatile. So if need be you can take it on the bus or transport it in your trunk. Need to ride at night? Count on ample lighting and turn signals for safe riding in traffic.
Want to ride in the rain? No problem, the Mantis PRO V2 is now IPx5 certified and comes with a mud guard extender pre-installed so no water will spray up your back or run inside the deck. We still do not recommend riding in heavy rain as road conditions become dangerous.
Justin from elecric-scooter.guide
"Striking, Durable Build + Awesome Speed"
"The Kaabo Mantis Pro is one of the best electric scooters in the world — striking the right balance of functionality, power, range, and weight. [...] it’s no cheap scooter; however, it’s probably the best value out there if you’re looking for a high-end beast scooter. [...]
The Kaabo Mantis Pro has exceptional build quality and is on par with the best scooters we’ve reviewed. Construction is hefty and uses many thick metal parts that are tightly assembled. The scooter is very quiet, with no rattling or squeaky parts.
This is the range you can get under optimal conditions. Usually manufacturers quote this type of range. We expect real world range to be lower since you will not go at constant slow speed.
33 miles
Real World (165 lb rider, aggressive riding)
This range has been tested by electric-scooter.guide under real world conditions. Quick acceleration, multiple stops, some inclines. All ESG range tests are done by the same rider and on the same circuit.

Love the look of the scooter although it arrived with a few scuffs, the changing port cover came smashed so I have to play with it a bit to cover the charging port, also the charger won’t screw on, so far I’ve put 30miles on it mainly riding in eco/single mode on “gear” 2 (26mph is more than enough for me riding in Manhattan) handles well so far I’m happy just annoyed with how it arrived

Amazing scooter. Amazing customer service!
Absolutely blown away from the quality and speed of the Mantis Pro, couldn't imagine needing anything more. Also have to give a huge shout out to their customer service, spoke personally with a representative who was amazingly helpful and professional. I don't do many reviews but felt I needed to give credit where credit was due. Amazing job fluidfree!!

Agile performance, quality build. Read here for tips.
Dear Readers,
I waited a little over a year to write my review. I wanted to wait until I could give some tips on handling and minor maintenance.
The Kaabo Mantis Pro, is not for beginners. It can be used by intermediate riders, cautiously. This unit is a high performing unit with a top speed of 42mph that varies depending on the riders weight. The torque settings should be lowered to the lowest settings when using this unit for the first few months for intermediate riders.
I have years of experience and even I was taken back by its torque. Please follow fluidfree’s instructional video on youtube. It is a great starters guide.
Do not use aftermarket fast chargers not approved by an authorized vendor like fluid free. Doing so, not only voids your warranty, but renders your LG Battery USELESS!
After your first 3 rides use locktite glue, to tighten your wheel nuts. You will be happy you did! Locktite glue is your best friend!
I had to upgrade my stem bolt, but new users will not have this challenge as fluid only sells the new and upgraded models at no extra cost.
In closing, this unit is loads of fun and if maintained properly and to the vendors specifications, will give you years of enjoyment. Kaabo designs the very best performing electric scooters, bar none!
My experience with fluid free for this purchase was flawless and made simple. They had all the necessary information I needed. They even have a list of approved repair shops that specialize in electric scooter repair, in almost every major city. What I like most about fluid is their willingness to help me with my unit months after my unit was sold to me.
Have fun, Saftey first and be well..... until my next review on the Kaabo wolf warrior 11!

The mantis pro will give you great performance and safety!
I purchased the Mantis Pro—advanced all round, power & range— seven weeks ago. Unfortunately, my first order got lost/stolen while being shipped by FedEx. Luckily, I had insured the scooter with Route. Additionally, the Fluidfreeride staff were very helpful. Specifically, I communicated with Adam about the situation, and he was extremely supportive. Thanks again Adam! Now, back to the mantis pro. I only have great things to say about the scooter. I have put in 377 miles already in the mantis pro and not a single issue so far, riding in city traffic and on bike trails. The scooter feels extremely safe, has great acceleration, it’s crazy fast (in dual and single mode, gear 3) and the range is what Fluidfreeride advertised—45 mile in single-eco mode, gear 3. Also, I’ve ridden the Mantis Pro using a combination of dual-single and eco mode, gear 3, and I have been able to get 37 miles range with 25% battery left. Overall, this machine will give you an amazing performance and safety. The mantis pro is highly recommended for folks commuting daily in heavy city traffic, while enjoying long rides on weekends.

A blast
The Mantis Pro is a fun scooter. The acceleration is quick, and the brakes are strong. Top speed with single motor is about 35MPH on the gauge. The brakes are initially grabby, but I'm getting used to it. I'm going to try turning off ABS. Torque with both motors is over the top. The deck is good sized, and the handlebar is well-placed for my height (6'). The deck lights are nice but are there to be seen, not to see. It needs turn signals. A smoother torque curve would be nice too. Overall very fun and the nexus of performance, features, and price. Highly recommend pads and full-faced helmet. Excellent service from FFR.

Fluid was great to work with and Mantis Pro is AWESOME
Fluid shipped my order next business day. They also helped out when FedEx sent package wrong way. Mantis Pro has been an absolute blast. The stem is solid as can be. I can’t stop riding! Put 100 miles on in just 1 week.

Blazing!!!
Solid build, fell in love with the power & zip of the Kaabo Mantis Pro. If your in the market for a scooter that had power and pep. Look no further, get yourself an early birthday or Xmas present.
Team Fluidfreeride customer service is A+. With an email 📧& phone support to address any situation that you may have about your purchase with them.
I've had the best experience.
Thanks Julian, John, & Adam.

Phenomenal Scooter
I can't say enough good things about Fluid Free Ride and my Mantis Pro. Firstly FFR has been outstanding in their service, response and delivery; I have no complaints and feel well looked after into the future if anything ever went wrong. A big thank you for that.
Ok onto the Mantis.
This scooter is phenomenal. I previously had a Wide Wheel Pro and whilst I don't want to put anyone off buying a WWPro, I have to say that for me, the Mantis Pro is perfect with its extra speed, distance and maneuverability. I have a 5 mile commute to work and back and it makes the journey exciting whereas it used to be boring. Chilly, but exciting. I give it a full charge every 3 days and it lasts the 10 miles each of the 3 days. And I like to cruise on weekends for up to 40 miles on a single charge.
A few things to consider.
This machine is fast if I need it to be or normal if I need it to be. It is very easy to control the power with my left and right thumbs, even with gloves on and even as I use the accelerator or brake. I barely have to glance down at the controls.
It is really stable. The wide handlebars and big tires give a feeling of security even at 40mph. Conversely at slow speeds it maneuvers easily, which is particularly useful where I work in a University.
The suspension and brakes are tremendous and really do the machine justice. I often plow over drain covers and road grit barely noticing them at high speed.
It is highly visible at night with its deck and rear lighting.
All in all I am 100% plus happy with everything. I'm doing my bit to be eco-friendly while saving tons of money on gas, insurance and maintenance on a car. This is way better than a car. If you buy this scooter, protect your investment with good security and protect yourself from road rash or worse with a full face motorcycle helmet and padded jacket and pants.
I stylized my Mantis with a handlebar extension that allows me to have a mirror, front light and phone mount (the front light also charges my phone; nice). I also added indicators which are sometimes a little tricky to use until you get used to them as it means a tap on the rubber end to indicate and another tap to stop indicating.
On the security side I have a disc lock shown and a 16mm U lock for the front. I also attached a remote controlled alarm to the front fork. This is brilliant; less than 30 bucks on Amazon. Attaches with adhesive backed tape and 2 zip-ties.

The Mantis Pro is a beast.
This thing is sleek, quiet, all black, smooth & has a back snapping pick up & speed. A solid piece of equipment all around.

Great acceleration
Right out of the box I noticed on lowest setting possible it took off well! Maybe it was sensitive because it hadn’t been used. I’ve hit 70kph (and my friend hit 72) when going downhill. 64kph is max for flat terrain. Suspension is great and you can fly over speed bumps without it jiggling. I do notice the scooter sometimes shakes when it’s going 60. Specifically the handle bar. Maybe that’s because it’s much more sensitive to motion at higher speeds? The black rubber covers for the nuts on the wheels frequently come off. I do hope the company will send me some backups! The display is great. The final thing is the brakes. On the Pro version, the brakes can either be really good or really sketchy. Sometimes when I’m going slow and I bake really slowly, it’ll skid and you’ll hear the noise (keep in mind i’m not going fast or braking fast). However, other times, when i’m going 70kph down a hill, it’ll come to a complete stop in 4 seconds without any skidding whatsoever. So that part is a bit confusing and inconsistent. Also, in general the brakes are sensitive. You can push them down to a certain point and once you hit that point it’ll really feel like your slamming on the brakes. This can cause the scooter to shake and swerve. I’ve had this for a few weeks but I’ve rode it a lot. I also fell once and the scooter went flying and created a huge pile of dust (I was surprised the shaft didn’t disconnect), but this thing is a BEAST... so zero damage (except a millimeters worth of paint scrape on the handle bar). The acceleration was still the same afterward and the motor felt normal. The brakes were still a bit inconsistent (and are opposite sides from the bicycle brakes, but for a specific reason). You can change so many settings (such as acceleration). I prefer it on the highest acceleration mode, but occasionally it glitches and the acceleration is slow even tho it shows it’s on a high mode.. what I do to fix it is I change the setting to the lowest, then back to the highest, turn off the machine, toggle off Turbo and then toggle it back on and turn the machine on and it’s fixed. So overall, if you like adrenaline, this is the scooter for you.

Love it!
Love the scooter (mantis pro) and the service was great! The only issue I’ve discovered is that that battery indicator always shows 100%. The voltage display is working, so I rely on that. it’s a beast of a scooter.

The Mantis Pro is a BEAST!
I received my MantisPro 3 weeks ago. Since then I put about 200 miles on it just cruising around learning about how it handles and having a lot of fun the entire time. I am extremely impressed with this scooter. I live in North Jersey and this scooter can tackle any of the large hills in my neighborhood with ease. Here is a video I put together about it on my Youtube Channel:

The Mantis Pro
This is my third scooter. I have the Mercane Wide wheel and the Segway Max. I purchased the Mantis Pro because I wanted more speed and range. Okay, first I want to point out that FFR got an amazing delivery service! The Mantis arrived at my house in less than 4 days. Also, let me tell you, this scooter got a lot of torque. You will want to dial down the power until you get use to riding this scooter (P7 &P9 Setting). the scooter will want to launch you forwarded. It is because the spring is kind of soft, so it is bouncy for a heavy person (260lb). I wished you could adjust the springs like the zero 10x (Turbo Wheel). The front and rear wheel comes off easy, so it makes repairing flats a breeze. There is also no seat for the Mantis because the handlebar seats high. The pro version got a big battery, so you should consider purchasing a quick charger. There is no bell or lights, so you must purchase them separately. The stem has a little give, but you can purchase parts on the internet that will make it stiff. So would i still recommend the Mantis Pro? hell yeah!

Striking Like a Mantis...
Testing the mantis pro in one of the most dangerous roads you will find Anywhere.... It's not about the wind in your face, It's not about what it feels To run like a cheetah.... It's not about the roar of thunder when you take off like the wind... It's not about taking the hills Or challenges of what this scooter can do? It's about the crazy drivers from everywhere in Orlando Florida... But I love the look on people's Faces when the torque and power picks off from a red light... Jaw dropping... Exhilarating And a rush Filled with awe.... I've had friends laughing that I'm getting an E scooter, and as each Of one of Them Who ride motorcycles.... Let's just say they themselves want one... Although this is my personal review , And not promoted, Do I get any form of extra stuffFrom fluid free ride For new customers? Lol... But really I'm not kidding... I'm thinking of getting the Wolf 2 as well for offroad power, not that this lacks any Power... But please be responsible, BecauseThis can easilyTake you out if you're not Careful? I definitely recommend a full face helmet and all safety precautions... Especially if you're going full speed... These are my thoughts about a great purchase...

Mantis Pro Adult Scooter
I was ready to purchase a Nanrobot D4 scooter but hesitated because I had reservations about its suspension. If I'm going to spend this much $ on a scooter, I better be completely sold on it. I wanted a scooter that had decent range, enough power(to scare me if I wanted it to) and suspension to take it off road. Is that too much to ask? After searching, scooters that checked all my boxes were either too big/heavy or too expensive (might as well buy a motorcycle). I came across a video of someone riding a FluidFree Mantis and the first thing about the scooter that stood out for him was of its suspension and how nice the ride felt. I saw a few videos and finally checked out FluidFreeRide's website and was pleasantly surprised that they were a US based company. Read the reviews and decided that although I can go cheaper by purchasing the Nanrobot D4, the Mantis and its better designed suspension, its LG battery (Pro) and its MiniMotors USA controllers was worth the difference in price in my opinion. I ordered the Mantis on a Saturday and received it on Wednesday. Fast delivery was a definite plus! My first impression when I first opened the box was that it was bigger than I expected. This is definitely not a toy. The scooter looks to be very well made and heavy (a plus when going 25+mph). After assembling the handlebar and tightening a few screws -I was excited to take it for a test ride. That initial acceleration made me realize how much torque this scooter has. I almost let the handlebar go. I would advise new users to start slow, check the settings including its initial acceleration settings which can be changed from strong or soft. It's nice to have options in the settings like cruise control, ABS, speed limit and auto turn off to name a few. While I haven't had the chance to fully test the range, speed and suspension out. I am satisfied with my purchase so far and look forward to taking my Mantis with me on my mini getaways up and down the CA coast to explore.

Mantis Pro - Pouncing Performance & Extreme Comfort!** WORTH THE WAIT **
Thanks Julian from fluidfreeride and Michael from Kaabo for bringing this scooter stateside.
After about 100miles since it’s arrival in Chicago at my doorstep a few weeks ago, I have to say that this scooter is a BOMB.
It took a few long rides to get acquainted with a proper riding stance and confidence on the mantis, but once I learned how to break effectively and shift my weight correctly - it was off to the races!
This thing is a beast in the city downtown, TRAFFIC DESTROYER! When in full power mode and duel motors, I’m still running 45+miles range in colder temperatures right now @110kg rider, so I’m pretty impressed with the battery performance thus far. I think I’ve topped out at 39mph on gps but could have pushed it more for sure.
The suspension is very comfortable (like a cloud) and with a longer deck and rear foot board, I love the riding stance on this scooter, very agile.
I’ve added some light accessories etc etc, and the LED deck lighting is great for night rides or even just flipping on so that nearby cars or bikes can see you better if you’re in a busy area.
The duel motors is quite a bang, extremely fun and “ racey “, but ALWAYS RIDE WITH SAFETY AND WEAR YOUR GEAR MY FRIENDS - this thing will put a smile on your face, and tears in your eyes if your not wearing goggles. 😂
And hills, forget about it. I’ve climbed a few extremely tall hills and roadways with the mantis on duel motors and this thing crushes with ease. hilly areas are a breeze for mantis, NO PROBLEM.
The only thing I can really complain about is that I am personally experiencing some slight neck wobble that I can’t seem to fix from tightening 8mm bolt or stem screws of any kind. I’m pretty sure it can be fixed at a bike shop with the right tools, but it’s slightly annoying for me to deal with tbh. I wish this mechanism was just a bit more solid and the scooter would be close to perfect for the price point.
