Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro Review

In this review of the Kaabo Wolf King GT, we cover why the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro’s ten upgrades go beyond updating their flagship Wolf King and will affect the future of all-electric scooters.

Far from a boring “BNG update” (“bold new graphics”), The GT’s ten upgrades are the sort that leaves us drowning in superlatives like: 

  • Fastest production scooter in the World 
  • 2nd longest range ever tested 
  • Best high-speed stability of any electric scooter 
  • World’s best flat-proof pneumatic tires (you’ve never seen tires like these before) 
  • Best color display ever 

And that’s only half of the list. 

This flagship scooter doesn’t come with a flagship price, though.  

So when you encounter high-end scooters which cost > $1,000 more than your Wolf King GT, you can enjoy offering them a choice of how to eat your less-expensive-scooter’s dust: Would they like to be dusted on range, acceleration, or top speed.

Our Take: A Whole New Scooter, Disguised As An Update

The first generation of this scooter, the 60V Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11, made a huge splash when introduced. Riders voted it as the best Beast Scooter in the World.

Having ridden all of the Wolf scooters back to back, the 11 still holds up as a world-class scooter.

Then came the 72V Wolf King, basically a Gold Wolf Warrior with more power, bigger brakes, and a much, much higher top speed.

When the new Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro 72v scooter arrived, we expected a slightly faster Wolf King, but we were wrong.

The GT is a very different (and better) beast!

What’s so different? Well, here are some of the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro upgrades that make it possibly the best scooter ever made.

World record speed of 61.0 mph?

True, but meh! Being the fastest electric scooter on our database didn’t even make our top 5 in terms of high-impact upgrades.

On the other hand, the Kaabo Wolf King GT’s sinewave controller is an absolute game-changer, giving you ten times as much precision when applying throttle at low speed. 

Acceleration is exceptionally smooth. A scooter this powerful would be virtually unrideable with a typical, abrupt, squarewave motor controller

Is there such a thing as too much range? It turns out that the GT Pro can cover more urban miles on one charge than I can

At the 50 mi mark on our urban range test, I was sure I’d had enough. The GT’s battery still had miles remaining and set a new record for longest-range at 55.0 mi.

Taller handlebars may not seem like a huge innovation, but for big riders, they may be the highest-impact change of all. 

Even average-height riders like Chuck and I tend to prefer 40 in high handlebars, so the big Wolf scooters’ 37.75 in tall bars have always been a confounding feature. 

We (especially 6′ 3″ / 75 in tall Ramier) are thrilled to see Kaabo finally “raise the bar,” so to speak, to a comfortable 40 in deck-to-handlebar height for the Wolf King GT Pro.

Another where-have-you-been-all-my-scooter-life feature is “puncture-proof” tires. Which, of course, we put to the test! 

Exactly how Kaabo made them puncture-proof is a little complicated, and we’ll cover that. 

But what you need to know is this: they really work. And in a completely different way than normal tire sealant. 

Is the new IPX5 water resistance rating (resists water jets) also more important than eye-watering top speed? 

We think so. 

Flag-ship scooters like the Wolf King GT set the standard for Kaabo’s future product line, and to some extent, the whole scooter industry. 

We’re happy to see Kaabo leading the way on waterproof displays, motors, and controllers by testing the prototype GT’s hardware underwater for 10 days straight! 

Scooters have got to be reliable all-weather transportation to be true car replacements

The Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro electric scooter is better (and bigger) than expected in almost every way.

We hope it’s a sign of things to come from Kaabo and other manufacturers.

Is It Good for Bigger, Heavier Riders? -Yes.

As much as Chuck and I love the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro, the upgrades are an even bigger deal for Big Dawgs like Ramier

The Wolf King already had enough top speed for riders of any size.

 

But, more acceleration, more hill crushing power, and more range make the Wolf King GT Pro scooter possibly the best scooter for heavy adults ever, performance-wise. 

The 40 in handlebar height means finally a Wolf scooter 6′ 3″ (75 in) tall Ramier can ride without feeling or looking hunched over while zooming by. 

The bars are also a surprising 4.5 in wider — right on target for the big riders. 

I prefer the original width, but they’re easy to swap out or cut off if you have a hack saw.

Upgrade #1 (Not in Order of Importance): Top Speed and Acceleration.

Wolf King GT Pro Top Speed

How fast is the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro scooter? Well, with an RG certified top speed of 61.0 mph, the GT supasses the Wolf King’s record and becomes one of the fastest electric scooter you can buy except for racing scooters.

like the Rion and the S1-X, you just can’t go faster standing up. And you certainly can’t go faster than this for $3600.

Most expert riders love the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro’s top speed, and if you’re looking at this in 2023, then you’ve probably heard that soon, we’ll have the new and improved Kaabo Wolf King GTR, so watch out for that review.

Acceleration

While the Wolf King GT Pro’s top speed is only 1.6 mph higher than the Wolf King, the GT Pro’s acceleration is a massive step up due to new sinewave motor controllers pushing 50 amps each. The Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro electric scooter reaches 30 mph in 3.8 seconds, 29% faster than the spectacularly quick Wolf King.

 In 2023, 2 years after we initially reviewed the GT Pro electric scooter, it remains one of the fastest electric scooter for adults. In addition, the new Wolf King GTR takes the crown for fastest scooter to 40mph of the hundreds of electric scooters we’ve tested.

Hill Climb

The Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro is not just a fast scooter on flat ground, it is also a powerful electric scooter with good hill-climbing ability.The Wolf King GT logged our 3rd fastest hill climb time ever (6.5 seconds). The fastest two are the NAMI Burn-E and the NAMI Burn-E 2 Max at (6.3 seconds) followed by the Apollo Pro 60V (Ludicrous).

Among all other things it does well, the King GT Pro remains the best electric scooter for hills.

Upgrade #2: Range

Sure, this is the world’s fastest scooter, but how far does the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro go?

The Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro has 55.0 mi of RG certified range and is a range record-holder. This is 59% further than the King due to its large battery and efficient sinewave controllers. The Wolf King GT’s has a 2520 Wh battery from LG. And because it comes with two chargers, Kaabo claims that the King GT Pro can be ready to do it all again 7 hours later.

We ride all our scooters in max performance, so you could get more real world range by riding in one of the lower modes, and riding in flat ground–though that’s not the essence of an e-scooter like the Wolf King GT Pro.

Also, disclaimer. As with other scooters, we don’t rely on battery percentage to calculate the remaining miles. At 50 mi, my display still indicated 29% battery remaining, but less than 5 mi later was at 0%.

Braking

The Zoom hydraulic brakes bring the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro scooter to a stop from 15 mph in an impressive 10.0 ft, edging out all three of the comparison scooters

The Wolf King and King GT are the only high-performance scooters we know of to use 3 mm thick rotors, making them more resistant to bending and warping.

Ride Quality

Upgrade #3: Progressive Throttle Control.

While slower scooters allow you to treat the throttle like an on/off switch, 72V super scooters like the Kaabo Wolf King usually require a steady hand and total concentration to ride smoothly and safely.

The Wolf King GT Pro’s thumb throttle and sinedrive controllers do an impressive job of taming 8400 watts of peak power. So you can relax a little and enjoy its performance without gritting your teeth.

It works even better if you apply the RG anchor-and-rock, thumb technique. Stabilize your thumb on the throttle assembly and rock the base of your thumb forward. This eliminates the dead space at the beginning of travel and doubles your precision.

The controllers also make the ride exceptionally quiet.

We bench tested the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro electric scooter against the King and found that the GT Pro is 10 decibels quieter at full throttle. To the human ear, that’s half as loud.

The ride quality off road is also excellent for this electric scooter with big tires and a full suspension set up.

Upgrade #4: Stability.

The Kaabo Wolf King GT feels more comfortable at 60 mph than most scooters do at 40 mph. 

Dual stem scooters like the high-end Kaabo scooters are inherently more stable because the wide weight distribution gives the front end a larger moment of inertia than single stems. This stability makes the Wolf King GT Pro an exceptionally good off road scooter.

The additional mass of the now-fork-mounted motor controllers takes it to another level. It’s the most stable scooter we’ve ever ridden. Adding a steering stabilizer to the Wolf King GT like we see on other all-terrain scooters would be pointless.

Kaabo Wolf King GT P-settings

The best sinewave controllers give you such good throttle control that they essentially eliminate the need to tweak P-settings for different riding styles.  

Keeping the Wolf King GT’s default settings and riding in “gear 5” with dual motors enabled should be all you ever need if you’re an experienced rider. 

One interesting note: If you dig deep into the advanced menu, you’ll find an option to bump the maximum current from 50 A to 60 A

When I finished testing, I decided to risk breaking stuff by cranking it up to 60 A and taking a (possibly final) top speed run.  

My new top speed results?  

61.0 mph, exactly the same as when it was set to 50 A.  

So, the 50 A controllers wisely only deliver 50 A, even if you tell them 60 A is ok.

Kaabo Wolf King GT Features

Portability

Folding the Wolf King GT Pro| Credit: Richard S. / RG

While the Kaabo Wolf King GT is the World’s best in many categories, it’s the worst in portability. In fact it comes second behind the largest electric scooter we’ve tested in terms of weight and folded dimensions.

We were surprised to find that the Wolf King GT tipped our scales at 125.4 lb: 10 lbs heavier than its specified weight and over 13 lbs heavier than the measured weight of the Wolf King Scooter. We were so surprised by the weight that we brought in two other scales. They all agree. 

Like the Wolf Warrior 11+ and the Wolf King, the Wolf king GT gets even longer when folded. And the GT’s uniquely wide 29.5 in non-folding handlebars help make the GT one of the widest and least portable scooters we’ve ever tested. 

It’s not just big; it’s also challenging to fold like the other big Wolf scooters.

The good news is that Chuck‘s-person Wolf Warrior loading technique still works. The wider handlebars mean it’s just going to need a bit more space.

Cockpit

Upgrade #5: The Best Display we've Ever Seen.

The cockpit of the Wolf King GT  Pro is a huge step forward from the Wolf King, and the masterpiece is the display. 

We’ve covered the ergonomic benefits of upgrade #6 (handlebar height) already. However, having the display 2 in higher and centered also makes it easier to see.  

This 4.2 in TFT display is bright, easy to read, and gives a whole new level of detail, including riding mode, top speed, average speed, and the temperature of both motor controllers.   

The display lets you pre-program the 5 “gears” to match your riding preferences and change or eliminate the scooter’s password. Subsequent releases by the Kaabo brand have only elevated the quality of the central display and improved the functionality.

Unlike the Wolf King scooter, it doesn’t leave you guessing whether you’re in single or dual motor mode.

Another welcome cockpit upgrade: turn signal and headlight switches with LEDs above each button to let you know when they’re active

Brake lever ergonomics are greatly improved. Aside from being more precise, the thumb throttle doesn’t interfere with the brake master cylinder the way trigger throttles do. So you can set the right-side brake lever at any height you desire.

Upgrade #7: The Word's Best Headlights and Turn Signals.

Kaabo took the scooter with the World’s best headlights and completed the package by adding the World’s best front turn signals. If you’ve watched any of our Kaabo Scooters reviews, you know how good the headlights actually are.

The high-mounted turn signals are huge, bright, and you can see them from almost any angle. The tinted rear signals and brake light also look cool, but the dark lens makes them a little too dim for daylight operation.

The Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro electric scooter also has all the deck lighting you need to be seen.

Unless you have your heart set on swag lights that look like a rolling disco (think Dualtron electric scooters) this is the best overall lighting package ever.

Tires

Upgrade #8: Puncture Proof Tires (an Absolute Game-Changer)!

Of course, we couldn’t let a claim like this go unchallenged, so we literally poked holes in it.

While technically we were able to puncture the old and new pneumatic tubeless tire with the same 55 lbs of pressure, the standard tire was flat within an hour, yet 24 hours later, the puncture-proof tire had lost absolutely no air at all.

The tires on the Wolf King GT Pro also answer the question–Does Kaabo make good offroad electric scooters? And the answer is yes. The large, flat proof air tires are great on both city roads and are just as comfortable rolling over obstacles, and absorbing road shocks. Paired with the full suspension, the Kaabo Wolf King GT Scooter, like the Warrior 11, makes for an excellent off road scooter.

Deck

For a long distance scooter like the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro, you want it as comfortable as it can be. Thankfully, Kaabo did not change the deck from the one we had on the Wolf Warrior electric scooter.

It’s rubber, and enormous, measuring 20.3 in long by 9.0 in wide, allowing room to move around during long rides

Being rubber, it has the  least wet/dry traction of the decks we have measured but is still enough traction to make you feel surefooted. The simple pattern and material make this type of deck the easiest deck to clean.  

The Kaabo Wolf King scooter has a very high ground clearance of 6.3 in, which means you’re riding taller in traffic and are more visible to other drivers. The tall deck does mean that you do more of a “hop-up” than a “kick forward” to get on board when the light turns green.

The new Wolf King GTR is even taller–probably taller than anything we’ve ridden before.

Build Quality

Upgrade #9: Water Resistance.

Wolf-Warrior scooters have legendary build quality, and the Wolf King GT  is clearly their most durable scooter yet. 

When we first saw photos of Kaabo’s component testing, we couldn’t believe our eyes. The dash, motor, and controllers were submerged for ten days and were still operating. 

So, is the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro electric scooter waterproof?  

Well, not exactly. The motor controller hubs and the dash are waterproof, while the rest of the  Wolf King GT’s body’s water resistance is rated at IPX5. Note that despite the high water resistance rating, Kaabo still recommends staying out of heavy downpours.  

That said, part of the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro upgrades included moving the motor controllers inside of a box attached to the forks, which helps with water protection and also helps keep the controllers cool. 

Also, if you do ride in the rain, you’re going to need to extend your fenders, or you’re going to get sprayed. Fenders are one area of the GT Pro which has not been upgraded–but let’s see what they do with the new 2023 Wolf King GTR.

In response to a small number of Wolf Warrior and Wolf King scooters suffering failures where the front axle connects to the forks, all Kaabo Wolf scooters now come with forged aluminum end caps, which are lighter and stronger.  

Even with all of these upgrades, there are still a couple of build quality improvements we’d like to see.  

The charging port covers are always in the way, and the chain for the security pin should probably be deleted altogether since it always breaks.

Wolf King Gt Pro safety pin chain

We’d also love to see the Wolf King GT get self-canceling turn signals.

Overall, the build quality is excellent–and the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro 72v is the most reliable electric scooter from the Kaabo line of scooters.

You can see it in every detail of the scooter and feel it in the solid smooth ride.

Wolf King GT Pro Review Conclusions

We hope many of the GT’s upgrades will appear in the rest of the Kaabo product line and that they’ll influence the designs of other company’s scooters as well, especially in the area of throttle control, displays, water resistance, and flat tire prevention. The Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro is a much bigger upgrade than we expected and is everything a flagship scooter should be: fast, solid, and absolutely state-of-the-art

What is the Price of the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro in 2023?

The latest pricing for the Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro scooter is $3,595. In our books, and from our hands-on testing, this scooter delivers the most performance value per dollar.

It is not just the fastest scooter in its class, it also has the longest real world range, is the best hill climber, is the most reliable all-terrain scooter, and certainly has the most high quality build from one of the best brands for electric scooters.

Is There a Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro Seat Available?

Yes, a seat compatible with the Kaabo Wolf Series is available. It’s sold separately and typically priced around $145

Where Can I Buy a Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro?

In the US, you can purchase your scooter directly from trusted dealers like Voro or Fluid Freeride.

The Kaabo Wolf King GT is available in United States from VORO Motors.
