Great video. I’ve been shopping for a good do it all scooter for weeks and with the plethora of options out there I’ve narrowed it down to the Klima and the Mantis King GT.
I like the GT because it’s about 4-5 lbs lighter and has a latch when you fold the neck for easier portability.
I like the way the Klima looks better than the Mantis but that won’t affect my decision.
Both seem to be really solid do it all scooters. Wish I could test ride both before deciding.
I was in the same dilemma. To choose between mantis king gt or the nami klima. At the time, both were on pre order here in OZ(no stock available), and the mantis king gt was the same $$ with the klima 25ah model.
They are pretty much head to head when it comes to performance. I really like the color on the mantis, especially the gold on the swing arms. One big factor that made me go with the klima was the issues with the mantis king gt's neck breaking or cracking. I already dismissed that ossue as i thought it was already fixed by changing that part in the factory for new productions, but apparently it's still a thing. Not sure on newer releases now.
I would suggest, join some groups on facebook dedicated for the nami and mantis king gt. Dont ask them which to get as they will definitely be bias with their answer, but Look out for people posting their issues. There's no perfectly made scooter i would say, but i will go for the scooter with least issue, or atleast something thayt can easily be fixed or amended.
If you end up getting the mantis, make sure with the seller that they have v3 neck, i think thats the latest one for it that solves the breaking issues
@@GieOnScoot I will definitely do that. Thanks a lot for the info!
All good mate! Im sure you'll love it either way you go! Ride safe!
@@GieOnScoot I ended up going with the Klima Max. I will have it the first week of August. Can't wait! Oh by the way I talked with a rep for Nami and he said the newer models now come with a stem that latches to the deck.
I don't mind riding my old scooter in the rain,just hate the cleaning afterwards, I bought a new scooter six weeks ago and I still haven't taken it out as the weather has been so bad in Europe 😩
I feel you mate, been raining the whole week here in Sydney and will continue on for the next couple more. But I still prefer to ride my scooter if it's just light rain than to drive my car 😅, hope you get to enjoy the new ride soon!
that klima is very nice, but do you ever miss your old scooter the varla eagle one pro, and its 11 inch wheels?
I do! Just the tire size tho... been searching for better tires for the klima, had tried 2 different tires now. Currently using a tire that looks like the ones on the e1 pro, but a tad smaller. The first one tried is almost 11 inch but the problem was tge fender wouldnt fit in.. used it for a a couple of months and changed it coz it has been raining a lot at the time. Still on the look out for a different tire. But aside from that i really love the klima.
Like your gloves! Can you share a purchase link please? BTW nice video showing Nami water resistance.
Thanks man! Here's the link www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09X1QY2HG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I love this scooter i have it too besides the fact that most came with defective brake sensor cables. Takes really long time to deplete the battery and the horn people think is a motorcycle on the road lol.
G'day mate, great dedication in adding your thoughts on the way home from work, that shows true passion. I am considering either a Klima Max for nimbleness along paths / cycleways in tight spaces yet also a BLAST max for thrills and stability at higher speeds with longer range. Struggling to decide as currently both are on sale.
If you dont mind me asking where abouts did you shoot this content? Rivers you passed by look FULL as a goog! Which state & suburb ?
BTW.... Can you upload a short 5-10 minute clip detailing your mods (handlebar accessories > mirror, turn signals / display sun cover) deck screws, swimg arm nut savers, etc and what you did to personalise your Klima.
Really like what you've done, it'll give me a few ideas for when I finally make a decision on a Klima or Blast. Whatever you can do it would be appreciated
I havent tried a nami blast yet, but with nimbleness, i have a feeling that the blast should be just as nimble as the klima, the only difference physically is that the blast has a wider/bigger deck than the klima. Blast is also faster. Only reason i didnt like the blast is because of the front suspension set up, which many says is actually better than c type suspension. But i dont like how that looks, to me it looks kind of weird, reminds me of a horse leg or something. But if that doesnt bother you at all, i would opt for the nami blast, if you want that extra power/speed, and 11 inch tyres would handle better on cornering on speed and will absorb bumps better than 10 inch tires. I am in Sydney by the way.
@GieOnScoot Thanks mate, that is good intel I actually don't mind the weird inverted front swing arm. It's apparently built that way for better stability even for one handed riding not that I'd do it very often. Yeah I saw your other video to Brighton near Botany Bay area on another video you shot. I am heading down to Sydney end of the month, I thought New South had tough restrictions on private scooters with very strict laws? Or is Sydney area an exception ?
You're right. Private scooters are restricted in NSW. This is why i ride on the bikepaths that goes thru the parks, lucky for me there is a direct route from home to work 😅, hidden from traffic. I often see cops, almost everyday when i ride with my scooter, but they are very forgiving, i guess as long as u stay out of the road, wearing a helmet and not riding like a hoon, they dont bother us here. I dont really know whats holding NSW government to legalise the use of e scooter and others like esk8s and euc. But you see us here everywhere now. There are some trial areas, one being in the inner suburbs of sydney (kogarah), but i havent tried them on yet, heard they are pretty expensive to rent.
Hi, could you put a link for the small lights you have on front ? Appreciate it !!

@@GieOnScoot Thanks ! But oddly enough, I received my Klima SE yesterday and this kit was already mounted haha
That's nice! New batches comes with it.. unlucky for me, i bought mine january this year and they dont have it yet.. had to purchase separately
Inbike, the company that makes your gloves makes rain gear as well bro, may want to invest.
Thanks for the info, im checking now 👍🏼
Do they make extra grip tires for these scooters?
Sure, theres a lot of tires for escooters out there, for grips, rubber tires would be the choice. There is the PMT tire brand who makes racing/track tires for escooters aswell. They come in higer $$ then regular tires. But there are cheap ones that are good as well.
wtf was the sound @2:12
Definitely not the scooter, possibly the rain coat hood rubbing to my helmet
