Kaabo Mantis King GT review: the performance scooter that makes the expensive ones look silly

A 60V 24Ah UL-certified pack, adjustable hydraulic suspension at both ends and hydraulic discs, for $1,299 on sale. This is where the performance category gets sensible.

Apollo Phantom 2.0: what $2,599 buys that $1,299 does not

Apollo's 52V flagship is quieter, better finished and better supported than anything else in the performance class. Whether that is worth double the Kaabo is the whole question.

Dualtron Thunder 3: 51 kg, 100 km/h, and a conversation about where you are allowed to ride it

A 72V 40Ah pack, four-piston hydraulic brakes and a $3,499 price. The Thunder 3 is a superb machine and an awkward one to recommend.
