Kaabo - Mantis X

The Vmax VX4 is a solid scooter with good water resistance and arguably best in class turn signals. Solid acceleration too, it handles Seattle hills just fine, so NYC should be no problem. Top speed of 25mph, so it barely hits your speed requirement, but everything else on your list it solidly checks. Half a year ago I would've recommended the Kaabo Mantis X, but it died on me 4 months in due to water damage from taking it out in the rain, so yeah... Nope

Kaabo Mantis X is a good choice for that due to the suspension

As the owner of a mantis X I would take that gravel without a second thought. Not at full speed, but yeah no problem.

Xiaomi and Kaabo should have been on the list. My bad. My Xiaomi is 5 years old and still going strong.

Funny that I have owned several kaabos in the past and I still forgot to put it on the list.

I’m pretty sure a good amount of people will say to put Apollo way lower, even with their newer models. Unagi is too high. I’m not even gonna lie, Unagi is just too high for my personal opinion. I have heard and seen nothing but sheer disappointment from Unagi. The only thing I like about them is that they do have some universal scooter info on their website and they allow people to test scooters first to see how they like them. Kaabo being in the same category as Varla and Gotrax surprises me… either my scooters and Gotrax scooters are better than I thought (I did put 2,045 miles on a Pegasus though, still no issues, 1,000 with V2 and still clear there), or Kaabo isn’t as great as I thought.

But kukirin has had some quality control issues in past , it's a good option but if he wants something super well made and good that can definitely get up that , a kaabo, vsett , inokim, inmotion etc scooter is needed.

thank you for not including Kaabo in this list of well built and supported scooters

that's because kaabos support is trash

That's because kaabo isn't actually good and good scooters remind you of that

I've had issues with both to be honest

Ninebot & Kaabo aren't on the list which are the two brands I own.

I have two kaabos, thinking of buying a Nami next.

After sales support was non existent in.my experience.

Kaabo. Didn't want to know about any fault.
