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)
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
I replaced 90% of my car with my G3. It’s light enough to go on public transit and at 28 mph I have made it to work running late several times. If you are seriously thinking about replacing your car the G3 would be a good option. You can also look into Teverun, Kaabo or Dualtron etc but those are heavy and more expensive
