Kaabo - Urban

I'm a kaabo snob I love my pooter scooter no issues! They just released a new scooter called the Urban and its under $1000 max load is 220lbs. I ride the warrior king gt pro max load 330lbs and its my daily driver I paid $2919 after my discount. [ Kaabo Urban ] https://www.kaabousa.com/products/kaabo-urban

Just went through same dilemma. Was looking at vmax vx2 extreme, Apollo go, kaabo urban, Segway max g3 and few others I forgot. I went with the urban for decent price, suspensions, tubeless tires, and size (since I need a smaller one for work). Urban has been great and CS too. It just gets speed wobbles at with slight steering even at sub 20 mph. Probably kuz of smaller tires. But everyone talks sht about every brand ngl. I just went with one I liked, and prayed for the best lol. But kaabo is pretty well known so thought that was okay.

I like my Kaabo. I have the Mantis X Plus. NO problems getting up hills, even at the same speed as cars. Their “urban” model is cheaper and I think still can do some inclines. Look em up anyways. When I was shopping around one of the better YouTube reviews I saw was from a Canadian vendor!

If you're in the US, look at wilsonebikes.com. Their prices are affordable and competitive. My colleague had his scooter serviced at their SF location and would only go there. I was considering buying the Navee GT3 Pro from Wilson's, but I opted for the Kaabo Urban from Kaabo USA in Fremont instead, as Wilson's didn't have it in stock. Buying directly from Kaabo USA also included gloves, elbow pads, and knee pads, along with a $100 gift certificate. Check out Kaabo USA to see if you like anything they're offering.

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

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.

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!
