Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 GT review: The ultimate Father’s Day gift

It’s what he really wants for Father’s Day: a high-performance scooter that can hit 80kmh-plus. What could possibly go wrong?

Scooter crew: who says Dad is too old for it?

WHAT IS IT? The ultimate Father’s Day gift: an electric scooter that accelerates from 0-30km/h in less than two seconds, and has a top speed of 80kmh-plus!

THAT’S CRAZY. I’ll say. But imagine the grin on his face come Sunday morning as he tears off down the road on it, reliving the thrills of his long-lost youth!

I’D BETTER PUT TRIPLE-ZERO ON SPEED-DIAL. Good idea. A small thumb throttle controls the awesome power of its dual 1200W motors, so there’s a learning curve involved.

WHAT IS IT EQUIPPED WITH? Hydraulic front and rear brakes, all-terrain tyres, hydraulic front suspension, powerful headlights and an “automotive grade horn”. There’s also a 9cm colour display screen on the handlebars that shows your battery level, speed, power mode, etc.

RANGE? A claimed maximum of 150km; it takes nine hours to charge the battery.

ANYTHING ELSE? Yes, make sure you abide by the electric scooter laws in your state unless you want to get in trouble with the cops. Alternatively, you could try to outrun them. Go, Dad, Go!
