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

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)

i’ve had two: kaabo mantis and splach turbo. i would recommend NOT buying off amazon. do your research there if you want, but then go directly to the manufacture site and buy from them. first of all amazon is evil, but second of all, sometimes their second party seller shit is sketchy. you’ll always get more straight forward sales help from the manufacture site. -consider if you’ll be in easy bike lanes most of the time or if your streets are a little rougher (this will help you choose the type of tire and suspension and brakes you need) -consider how long you wanna be able to go without a charge (size of battery you’ll need) -consider if you are gonna have to fold it and pick it up to walk up stairs or carry on public transit (if so, i don’t recommend one that’s over 40 or 50lb… you may think that’s just a dumbbell amount of weight but it’s awkward and annoying and wears you down quick) -consider if you want tube tires, pneumatic tires, or solid tires (google the differences - there have been other posts about this as well) -i also recommend one where the handlebars fold down if you’re gonna be taking it on public transpo -lastly…. consider how much fun you wanna have. cuz tbh my mantis could go up to 40mph and i averaged usually about 30-32 bc that’s where i felt safe in the city but goddamn that shit was fun… my splach averages at 22 and that’s safe and fine and still fast, don’t get me wrong…. but i do miss the thrill) OH AND GET THE WARRANTY - it literally saved my ass with my mantis when something in the steer shaft was buggin and basically got all my money back and got to keep the scooter. hope this helps

I’ve bought a couple of dual motor scooters from AliExpress, and I’ve been really happy with their performance. For a scooter that’s built like a tank, I recommend checking out the Kaabo or Dualtron models—they’ve got awesome power and are tough enough to handle rough roads or off-road trails. Based on your budget, if you’re looking at a scooter around the $300–$600 range, these scooters should be a good fit. I also recommend checking out the reviews and asking the seller directly about customer support and warranty to ensure you’re getting something solid. To make your purchase even better, you can use some of these discount codes: $10 off $69: RDLFK10 $16 off $109: RDLFK16 $30 off $199: RDLFK30 $45 off $299: RDLFK45 $60 off $399: RDLFK60 These will definitely help you save a bit while getting a solid, durable scooter.

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.

The suspension sucks and Kaabo basically makes up excuses to not warranty any failure should you have one. They are ok, but far from the best.

DO NOT GET KAABO IVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH CONTROLLER FAILURES AND THEIR ASS CUSTOMER SERVICE.

NAMI, Kaabo, Dualtron and Roadrunner (not that piece of shit D4) just to name a few. If you're looking more at budget scooters, NIU and Segway are about it.

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

Inversely, I had such a crappy time dealing with Kaabo that I had to do a dispute charge with my bank
