Kaabo King GTR: the case against
- 139 lb and five and a half feet long folded
- Kaabo's 112-mile claim is more than double the 48.2 miles measured independently
- Boost mode is dangerous without full protective gear and a steering damper
- IPX5 sealing is modest for a $3,000 machine
- Nine hours to charge, even using both included chargers
- At 65 mph, legality on public roads is questionable almost everywhere in the US
Kaabo King GTR Max: the case against
- 148 lb: not liftable, and folded length is 65.9 in
- $3,899 is $600 above the Dualtron Thunder 3 here, which has the same 2,880 Wh in a 112 lb frame
- Range claim of 124 mi is over 1.6 times the Wh-derived estimate
- No IP rating for the scooter itself, only the display
- Needs a long, flat load area to transport
