Australian price and specification comparison using the live ScootFinder catalogue, with realistic range estimates and state-dependent legality.
Choose the Kaabo Mantis Urban for suspension, disc brakes at both ends and more composed urban ride hardware. Choose the Inmotion Climber for dual-motor hill assistance, the higher 130 kg rider limit and a slightly lower current price.
Kaabo's entry commuter with adjustable suspension, ships default-limited to the 25 km/h legal class.
Inmotion's dual motor hill-climbing commuter, light and water resistant, ships inside the 25 km/h legal class.
Manufacturer range claims are shown separately from ScootFinder planning estimates. A TBC value is left blank by the source rather than inferred.

Kaabo Mantis Urban 2026: Fits the 25 km/h legal class, but rules still vary by state. Legal to ride within limits in 6 of 8 states and territories. Not permitted for private use in NSW or NT.
Inmotion Climber: Fits the 25 km/h legal class, but rules still vary by state. Legal to ride within limits in 6 of 8 states and territories. Not permitted for private use in NSW or NT.
Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.
The dual-motor Inmotion Climber is the stronger hill choice on paper. The Kaabo counters with suspension that should feel better on broken surfaces.
The Climber has a 130 kg published limit; the Mantis Urban is limited to 100 kg.
Both can be configured for the 25 km/h device class, but state and territory rules still decide where and by whom they may be ridden.
ScootFinder has not physically road-tested these two units for this comparison. Published specifications come from the sources below. Real-world range figures are clearly labelled ScootFinder estimates and prices or availability should be confirmed before purchase.
