Big news! The first ever line of RK9 Rides apparel and merch is out!

Good to see that you have put a bad experience of a brand to one side to evaluate a new model with a clean slate. That shows good maturity and I like that. Loved the video and the first thoughts and thanks for sharing. See you on the next vid

Congrats on being sent free electric bikes & scooters to review. You must be in heaven.

Great review! I really like the Mantis 8 so far. I have their (Kaabo USA's) Mantis 10 as well, which has been working out well for me.

Started a job in the city and am trying to get into an electric scooter. This video was super helpful. Thank u very much

I just received my Mantis 8 and really like it. It's a great value and the tubeless tires are huge. The only downside is Kaabo's customer service is NON existent! They never return emails and there phone# in El Monte, Ca. just rings with not ability to leave a message! If something goes wrong with it under warranty, etc. I bet I'm screwed!

[symcardnel]

Absolutely LOVE your reviews!!! Very thorough, and it's great to see you don't scoot over any detail! Unrelated, would you mind if I tattooed your logo on my forehead :)? Additionally unrelated... would you go w/ a twist throttle if available?

Hey thanks for all the content recently! Kinda looking into giving Kaabo a chance at redemption, since the experience I had with the Pro was pretty horrendous! Im 5'9 225Lbs so almost fulfilling 75% -80% of these scooters max capacity, which has got me looking into Varla Eagle One. The upgrades you made made it seem to pretty much allow you to experience the ride and not the paranoia of something coming loose or snapping, rotor/hub warping. Now that the brakes you upgraded come with the Varla EO out of box, might wait for the Mantis 8 full review but after experiencing the Mantis Pro speed and adrenaline, kinda seeing I am leaning towards the Varla. I do live in an apartment on the second floor though and recognized the point of not being a daily it for work was my situation last year. Keep having fun, congrats on the website launch as well!!!

Great scooter. Sadly its not the 800 w motor version from FFR

[brandonclement]

Great video 🤘 definitely changing my mind about the stem issue. Look forward to the long-term review. Can't wait to see the Pegasus shoot out.

[alenbole]

Just got my mantis 8 + today, and it's beast 👍

You are such a genuine guy you know. It's not 1, 000 dollars it is 1100 plus tax.

I starting to like what they have done with the Mantis 8. Tubeless tires should be standard for most of not all scooters. My Cruiser them and we'll over 500 miles on the odometer and still no flats. But I wanna see you full review for the Mantis 8 before I say anything else. Stem wiggle happens over time and I'm not a big fan for plastic mudguards either. As for the new Logos I will gladly buy 3 with the white accents. It will stand out better on my stealth black speeder. Nice video, looking forward to seeing the next video for the Victor if my eyes are correct. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌

It would be nice if you would let us know the top speed and range as well as acceleration time to the top speed.

[jeansjeans]

Can you do a 2 year update video on the mantis 8?

[ruberteric]

Hi!! If you get a chance, see if you can do a review on the "Vsett 8" scooter.

[rus]

Cool review!! Thinking of getting the pro version 800w dual motor as its the only one available here in NZ or the vsett 9+. Would u be doing a review for the vesett line?? Your reviews are awesome and honest so yeah hopefully u do so i can decide! Thank u!

[hdavidbenson]

While enjoying your review you may to contrary comments. Regarding the turn signals you said they were dingy during the daylight because they are recessed but you said you would never complain about more safety features on an electric scooter, yet when you found that the horn button either doesn't work or the the horn doesn't exist you said that it is a small thing to not have. I totally disagree, I even believe that a war may be more important then non-visible turn signals. I have only 30 miles on my wolf- Warrior X and already the horn has saved me from hitting people that stepped out in front of me twice, you also need to warn Vehicles should they attempt to cut in front of you or if someone opens the car door in front of you, therefore horns are critical on scooters in my opinion

[JULIANysuHOHNER]

Im new on scooter and im so excited to get one, i want a fun and fast scooter looking to get this one maybe.

[franciscogonzalez]

Will you ever considered getting, buying this scooter from banggood, laotie es18 lite, I think they're 52v, 28.8ah, with dual motors, 21700 batteries, and they go for like 1000 dollars, great video, keep the the good work
