Compare the Kaabo Mantis King GT and the Zero 9

When shopping for an electric scooter, two names frequently at the top of the list are the Kaabo Mantis King GT and the Zero 9. Both offer exceptional performance, but there are key differences to consider. Firstly, in performance, the Mantis King GT outperforms the Zero 9. The King GT features dual 1000W motors allowing a top speed of 40-50 mph, significantly greater than the Zero 9's 28 mph. The King GT also excels in range, boasting a staggering 40-50 miles, while the Zero 9 offers a respectable 25-27 miles. Suspension is another important factor. The Mantis King GT comes with hydraulic shock absorbers that ensure comfortable rides on uneven roads. The Zero 9 meanwhile offers basic front and rear spring suspension, fine for smoother city roads but may struggle with off-road or uneven surfaces. However, the Zero 9 shines in compactness and lightweight design. It weighs 18 kg and can be folded into a more compact size compared to the bulky 34 kg Mantis King GT, which although robust, can be less convenient for carrying or storing. The Mantis King GT features an attractive cockpit design with an easy-to-view LCD and finger throttle. In contrast, the Zero 9 has a functional cockpit with a thumb throttle, which may be more comfortable for some users. The premium quality of the Mantis King GT makes it more expensive than its Zero 9 counterpart, making the latter a more economical choice. But with the premium pricing comes enhanced features that may just make the Mantis King GT worth the investment.
