Australian price and specification comparison using dated catalogue observations, labelled range estimates and state-specific device checks. Confirm current seller prices, stock and delivery.
Choose the Kaabo Mantis Urban for adjustable suspension, disc brakes at both ends and seller stock at our last dated check. The run-out Pure Air5 Pro had the lower dated catalogue price, is 2.8 kg lighter and has a higher published rider limit, but it was out of stock at our last check, so only consider it if you find clearance stock with an Australian warranty. Their ScootFinder range estimates are equal, so ride hardware, portability and availability should decide the choice.
Kaabo's single-motor commuter with adjustable suspension. Check the exact supplied configuration and state device requirements before public riding.
Pure's mid-tier Air5 commuter with more range and power than the base model. Inside the 25 km/h legal class.
Speed uses the Australian supplied configuration where verified; overseas modes are not implied. 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: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Pure Electric Air5 Pro: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
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.
ScootFinder currently uses the same 28 km planning estimate for both models. Actual range varies with load, speed, hills, wind and temperature.
The Pure Air5 Pro is lighter by 2.8 kg and is the better choice when regular carrying matters.
The Pure has the higher published rider limit at 120 kg versus 100 kg for the Kaabo. Include clothing and luggage in the total load.
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.
