Origin

Kaabo is a Shenzhen-based electric-scooter maker that rose to prominence in the enthusiast community on the strength of its high-performance Mantis and Wolf King models. The Skywalker 10 line sits at the accessible end of that lineage: a deliberately simple, heavy-duty commuter built to a budget. Launched in the late-2010s (reviews place the original around 2018-2019), the Skywalker 10S paired a single 1200W hub motor with a large battery and full dual suspension — a combination that was unusually generous at its price point and quickly made it a go-to recommendation for value-focused long-distance commuters. Over the years the family expanded into a faster dual-motor 10S+ and a revised V2 generation (marketed as 10C and 10H), keeping the same practical silhouette while updating internals, so the 'Skywalker 10S' name now covers several meaningfully different machines.

Specifications

Frame: 6061-T6 aviation-grade aluminium, one-piece forged stem

The verdict

+Strengths

Excellent value: big battery, dual suspension and strong brakes for a mid-range price
Best-in-class braking — dual Zoom mechanical discs with very short stopping distance
Comfortable, stable ride from full dual suspension plus 10-inch pneumatic tyres

−Weaknesses

Small deck with limited standing room — cramped for taller riders or bigger feet
Heavy (25-30+ kg) and slow to charge (6-9 h stock), so poor for carrying / last-mile use
Only light water resistance (IPX4 at best) and reports of cheap bolts / fiddly folding latch

Generations

Original 10S (~2018-2019)
- The value benchmark: single motor, ~40 km real range, dual suspension. What most 'Skywalker 10S' used listings actually are.
10S+ (~2020)
- Performance trim: dual motor + much bigger battery for long range and faster top speed; ~5 kg heavier and roughly twice the price.
V2 line 10C/10H (~2023+)
- Successor generation sold under 10C (comfort) and 10H (higher-spec) names; refreshed internals, keeps the same practical dual-suspension silhouette.
