When to get the EMove Cruiser S?

First of all, the EMove Cruiser S is literally half the price of the Kaabo Mantis Pro V2, so definitely get it if your budget is constraining you.

But, interestingly, even though it’s twice as cheap, it comes with a lot more range, better suspension, bigger weight limit, better water resistance, and lower weight. So, it still has a lot of great use cases where it’s the better choice.

When to get the Kaabo Mantis Pro V2?

This is a classic case of speed vs range comparison. Since the Kaabo has a stronger motor, it will come with better speed, acceleration, and climbing, so consider it in those situations, if your budget permits.
