Can confirm. I crashed my mantis many times and it never broke. Learned all my lessons on that before getting the King GTR which has also held up perfectly. (No crashes)

270lb here. Kaabo GTR is the GOAT. A good alternative—I use—is the Segway Ninebot F30 (bought at Costco). I swapped out the stock tries for rigid (all rubber cores). This way they never pop. Doesn’t matter how hot the pavement gets, they are great (gets hot in summer in swf). Also because they are rigid they can handle more weight. It’s a solid just cruise around the neighborhood scooter.

Kaabo king GTR here. 35ah battery. In eco mode it tops out around 18 mph. I’m 6’4” around 200 pounds and I’m confident I could make it nearly 100 miles on that scooter. But I drive fast, hard acceleration, and I still get 40-50 miles. New scooter is about $3,600 right now.

Segway is a very good brand and the only problem I’ve ever had is cracked rear rims. If I ever manage to do that to my current Kaabo GTR the rim itself is replaceable, you don’t have to buy a whole new wheel tire and motor assembly

If you have the money and want that brand go for it. You can get better performance for less, but it’s a very high quality scooter with a very well integrated app. I’ve had a few Segways, (ZT3 Pro, GT3 regular). My current scooter is a Kaabo GTR, and I’m never going back to anything else unless I want something I don’t have to care about as much. I’ve found that Segway rear rims are quite fragile, but I may have beaten on my scooters too hard. Frequently check the tire pressure. If you have too low of pressure and hit something the bead can burp or the tire can immediately squish and damage the rim.

Any Kaabo former Wolf models now called Warrior and King models with dual front stems that go all the way to the wheel (Not the Inmotion RS which has dual front stems, but don't go to the wheel and they have the C-type front suspension just like most e-scooters) are the safest e-scooters at speeds above 25mph to 30mph because you don't get steering wobbles like with single stem e-scooters which needs a steering damper or two (Looking at you Teverun) if going over 25mph to 30mph. Plus the Kaabo dual stems can take a crash or fall with no problems because they're made of steel and aluminum. The new Kaabo Warrior X Max is the 2025 version of the Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Plus from 2024 which is what I have and it's upgraded with a better rear suspension and a bigger and better battery technology which is UL approved and some other minor features for $1,699 before any coupon code discounts and is perfect for riding in the city. It has a Top Speed of 44mph and gets more mileage than my model since the battery is bigger and has 21700 batteries over 18650 batteries in my WWX+. I ride mine in Philly on the streets with ZERO problems from Police for 11 months.

PLEASE dont buy a cheap chinese ass scooter, buy a used dualtron thunder one or eagle pro or smth, or a lower end kaabo scooter or a nami klima or smth, buy one of those for like 700-1000$, then spend 100 on a good lock and 150 or so on a good helmet, they will all get great range

Hmmm that blue parking sign in the background… Fellow Kiwi? 😆 Love my Kaabo! Did you get yours from Stormrides as well?

You are not the OP? lol. There are a few scooters with a removeable battery, although it seems to be shrinking. And even then the quick release isn't necessarily all that quick. You still need to trust the security in your area though, as even a batteryless scooter is a target for theft. Off the top of my head, I can only think of one of the Kaabo scooters, and the roadrunner scooters. The updated Kaabo no longer has the removeable battery, as that seemed to cause problems (although it seems Kaabos suffer quite a litany of problems). Roadrunner has filed for bankruptcy (and their scooters have their own list of problems), so definitely makes them a wary buy. For the delivery scenario, if you rely on your scooter to make a living, there's a good chance you're going to have more than one scooter, so just go home and swap scooters, and charge up the dead one. Faster and way less fiddly than swapping batteries!
