Compare the Kaabo Mantis V2 and the Zero 8X

Electric scooters have become increasingly popular for their convenience and utility and among the myriad of models flooding the market, the Kaabo Mantis V2 and Zero 8X stand out. Both models are applauded for their robust features, but they also have their differences.

The Kaabo Mantis V2, a powerhouse with dual 1000W motors, provides a noticeably faster performance reaching 40mph compared to the Zero 8X, which maxes out around 34mph with its dual 800W motors. This makes the Mantis V2 ideal for thrill-seekers, or riders demanding high performance.

Durability-wise, both scooters demonstrate impressive resilience. However, the Zero 8X, with its solid tyres, offers a puncture-free experience eliminating the worries of flat tyres. The Mantis V2’s pneumatic tyres, though prone to puncturing, do make for a smoother and more comfortable ride.

When it comes to range, the Mantis V2 outperforms the Zero 8X, boasting a distance of 45 miles compared to the latter’s 34 miles. This can be attributed to its larger 60V 18.2aH battery as opposed to the Zero 8X's 52V 18aH battery.

While both scooters feature dual disc braking, the Mantis V2 includes an electronic braking system (EBS) as well. The Zero 8X, on the contrary, adds in a rear drum brake for stability.

Price is a pivotal factor and here the Zero 8X has an edge being more budget friendly. The Kaabo Mantis V2, being a premium model, is higher priced, but for the extra investment, its superior speed and range could be considered worthwhile.

In summary, both scooters offer exceptional qualities. The Kaabo Mantis V2 is speedier and has a longer range, whereas the Zero 8X acts as a reliable budget option, with solid tyres and a dual braking system.
