Our verdict
Kaabo suits riders who want a fast, long range kick-scooter with suspension and folding built into the same frame. Models start at $799 with claimed range of 40 to 200 km, so your money goes into power rather than brand polish, and every model folds for the last mile.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of $799 sits below the site median of €2,299
- Top speed of 40 to 97 km/h and claimed range of 40 to 200 km beat the site median speed of 30 km/h
- Folding, suspension, disc brakes and tubeless tires across the range
- A spare parts shop and a 18 months warranty
- Support runs on email, chat and phone
Cons
- The range spans 40 to 97 km/h at the top end, so the quickest models are far beyond the site median of 30 km/h
- Shipping is listed for US only, so anyone outside the US looks at a narrower choice
- A 100 to 150 kg load limit and 20 kg weight mean the lighter end is the one to check against your own needs
- Support is strong on channels but there is no listed certification or licence, so the trust case rests on Reco Pev Limited and 2013
Who it suits
- Commuters who want 40 to 97 km/h speed and 40 to 200 km range from a folding kick-scooter
- Riders who want suspension, disc brakes and tubeless tires as standard
- Shoppers in US who want a spare parts shop and phone support
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders buying in Europe, since shipping is listed for US only
- People who need a light scooter to carry on public transport, as 20 kg is the stated weight
Core features
The line-up covers Kaabo Urban, Mantis X Plus, Mantis King GT, King GTR Max, all of them kick-scooters. Claimed range runs 40 to 200 km and top speed runs 40 to 97 km/h, which puts the quickest Kaabo well above the site median speed of 30 km/h and the median motor output of 500 W. Motor power across the range is 500 to 2,000 W, from near the site median of 500 W up to the site ceiling of 2,000 W. Every model folds, and suspension is fitted throughout, with disc brakes and tubeless tires on the Urban. Max load is 100 to 150 kg and the listed weight is 20 kg, so the lighter models in the range suit a shorter trip or a stair carry better than the fastest ones. Cover runs 18 months, and there is a spare parts shop, so tyres, tubes and wear parts can be bought without going through a third party. Support runs on email, chat and phone.
The company behind it
Kaabo is sold by Reco Pev Limited, which is based in the United States and has been trading since 2013. Having a named legal entity on the warranty information is useful when a claim goes wrong, since the warranty of 18 months has a company behind it rather than a marketplace seller. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so you can reach people by email, live chat or phone, browse a help centre, or fall back on the community. A phone line and chat alongside email is more than a lot of scooter sellers offer. Shipping is listed for US, so buying outside the US means checking delivery and warranty cover first. No licence or certification is named in the information provided for the range.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Kaabo scooter cost at entry?+
Models start at $799, which is below the site median of €2,299 and the upper quartile of €3,506.97. That entry price sits in the cheaper part of the 52 brands compared on starting price, at position 43. The figure is a purchase price rather than a subscription.
What range and top speed do I get?+
Claimed range runs 40 to 200 km across Kaabo Urban, Mantis X Plus, Mantis King GT, King GTR Max. Top speed runs 40 to 97 km/h, from a city-friendly model at the bottom to a high-speed one at the top, well above the site median of 30 km/h. Motor output across the range is 500 to 2,000 W.
Are these scooters road legal?+
The listed information names no certification or road legal approval for the range, so check local rules before riding one on public roads. Top speeds of 40 to 97 km/h will exceed many street limits even where scooters are permitted. The speed figures are manufacturer claims, not road legal declarations.
How heavy are they and what can they carry?+
The listed weight is 20 kg and max load is 100 to 150 kg. Heavier models in the range are less pleasant on stairs or in a car boot, so pick from the lower end of the speed range if carrying weight matters more than pace. The load limit also leaves little room for heavy cargo or a second rider.
What warranty and support do I get?+
Cover runs 18 months. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, live chat and phone are all available, plus a help centre and a community group. A spare parts shop is on the site for tyres and wear items, which keeps small repairs off the warranty.
Where does Kaabo ship and who sells it?+
Shipping is listed for US, so buying outside the US needs a check on delivery cost and cover. The seller is Reco Pev Limited, based in the United States and trading since 2013. A named company means warranty claims go to an entity rather than a marketplace seller.
What do the models have in common?+
All of Kaabo Urban, Mantis X Plus, Mantis King GT, King GTR Max are kick-scooters, and the range shares folding frames, suspension, disc brakes and tubeless tires on the Urban. Differences sit in the 500 to 2,000 W motor, the 40 to 200 km claimed range and the 40 to 97 km/h top speed.
Is Kaabo a good value pick against cheaper brands?+
Entry at $799 is below the site median of €2,299, while features like folding, suspension and a spare parts shop are standard across the range. The cheapest entry price across the site is €599.99, so the gap buys suspension, range and speed rather than branding. The cost score of 8.3 reflects that spread.
