    Thank you your great reviews, most professional and with very good comparissions with different actual models! There you compared Mantis 8 mini 18ah, but not Mantis 8 Pro model, which is much powefull. I think there will be some really differences, but as you comparing it with Wide wheel pro little different, must be compared Mantis 8 pro for such specifications, than will be equal comparission. But as i understand you dont't have this Mantis 8 model. Anyway thank you very much for your efforts and very great videos!! When you will have Mantis pro please do comparission of speeds and etc with Mantis 8 not pro. Best regards from Lithuania.

    I’ve owned the mantis 8 for a couple of months now and I love it. Only issue I had out the box was the screen on the throttle. Soon as I turned it on, it was glitching. I emailed kaabo with a video and they sent me a new one. Other than that I have no issues. I’m a 150 pounds. I would like for the suspension to be a bit more soft. I have the vsett 8 and I feel like it out performs in the suspension. But that’s just me. Other than that I love it. Definitely looking into the mantis 10. Also I’m not folding it. That is my other complaint. I just carry it with the stem up. To much going on to fold it compared to my other scooters.

Especially when scooters are popping up everywhere, I'd like to stand out a little. Great stuff guys, the Mantis 8 is not for me because range is quickly becoming king. The Mantis needs to eMove aside. 🤭

    Hello everyone! Another great video. Looks like this is a solid scooter and would be nice to own. However, I purchased fluid freerides Horizon this year and the specs are still good enough to hold on to it. Plus paid at total only 650 for mine under preorder! So I was wondering will Mantis 8 be enough to pull other buys who already have similar specs on their current rides?

    Could you do a video on the best (or available) scooters for very tall persons and those that might weigh more? I'm 6'5" and weigh 206 lbs. With a full backpack, it could be up to 230 lbs or more. Most scooters aren't tall enough (handles) and aren't rated for heavier riders. It's hard to find a comparisons list for those scooters. Thanks.

A few weeks ago I almost bought a wide wheel pro but it took so long to ship so I cancelled the order. When I saw this going more than 25, I figure this is better for more speed but its the same speed? Fluidride falsely advertising the Mantis 8? Its arriving tomorrow too so....

    what is the difference between fluid free rides mantis 8 and kaabo USA's?

  • @ESG-ElectricScooterGuide

    @ESG-ElectricScooterGuide

    3 жыл бұрын

    That's a good question. I'm not familiar with Kaabo USA at all. I just had a look at the specs and they're pretty different. The Kaabo USA Mantis 8 has two 500 W motors, where the Fluidfreeride Mantis 8 has one 800W motor. They weigh the same though, because the Fluid scooter has a 40% larger battery (18.2ah vs 13 ah). So I expect that the Fluid Mantis 8 has much longer range, while the USA one will have a bit more acceleration. The handling of the single motor scooter from Fluid is also really really good because of the lighter front wheel. We have a Mantis 8 Pro, here from Fluid, which is an absolute beast on acceleration, but the handling of the single motor version is noticeably better. -Paul
