Reference Materials for Kaabo
Kaabo communications / signalling protocols across display variants guidance from eSN Facebook page post.
Kaabo's inaugural displays were the LT01 and EY3. The Kaabo controllers used LT01 & MiniMotors controllers used EY3, it was simple. The three new displays are summarised below:
The TFT was introduced in 2022 with the Wolf Warrior GT Series. In 2024 the KM03 central display was introduced, inaugurally on Plus badge of Mantis X. The CM06 (monochrome) was subsequently introduced on entry level Mantis 2025 models.
The TFT (portrait, often called IPS) has 3 protocol variants: TFT (Wolf Warrior GT), K2 (Wolf X GT / Mantis King GT) and special variant for Wolf King GTR (likely functions).
The KM03 Central Display (landscape), has integrated NFC and USB charging and supports both TFT and K2 protocol (universal apparently). There is a special variant for Wolf King GTR (functions). Introduced on Mantis X Plus and subsequently Warrior X Max.
The CM06 (monochrome, often called Kaabo Display) has integrated NFC and finger throttle with buttons, all in one. Available in two protocol variants:
K1. Suited for retrofit in lieu of LT01 and featured on "Kaabo display" models of Mantis 10 Plus (models from 2025 onwards other than those with LT01). Has 3 gears.
K2. As featured on Mantis 10 Lite (UL) and Mantis X Eco. Typically has silver K2 designation nameplate sticker on rear. Has 5 gears.
Notes: Controller nameplate will typically specify if it is a TFT and K2 version. TFT has the most comprehensive settings, CM06 Central Display lacks advanced assist modes of TFT. Often alternative main line and controllers are required to retrofit a display. There are firmware / default voltage considerations with some regions also having a 1385 designation (with e-mark headlight and fully waterproofed main cables similar to NAMI). Kaabo's guidance.

Wiring diagram for what is understood as the suitable main line for Kaabo Wolf Warrior GTR the 9-core variant that branches out a green for KM-03 central display retrofit implementations. The photographs from this listing (and this) of the XHB 8-pin connector do not match the diagram so photo's for illustration purposes only.
Wiring diagram for Kaabo Wolf Warrior GT series (Pro TFT / Pro+ EY3, Kaabo Black Sine Wave / MiniMotors Silver Square Wave Controllers respectively, 2x50A)
Note, No. 1 plug base shows pin 1 =-white and pin 8 = red for both GT Pro (TFT) and GT Pro+ (EY3). In almost all instances, these are observed as reversed whereby pin 5 = red and pin 8 = white. The only model observed with the drawn colours is the X Pro (EY3). Always check these ones with a meter rather than designated in diagram.
Wire colours observed on Wolf Warrior GT Pro (TFT, Sine Wave) with closer view of throttle/display, plug for plug base 1. White on the end (pin 8) in socket 1, not red as per the diagram. The brown to pin 1 on plug base 2.
Pinouts for the number 1 plug base (display, 8-Pin), extracted from TurboTrack TurboTap type H IoT GPS Tracker Harness diagram adopts observed GT Pro (TFT) colours. Brown wire also shown.
Plug base 1 (display), 2 (master control) & 3 (secondary control). DM=Dual Motor.

Note the variance of the wire colours on plug number 1 socket in the two above Warrior X diagrams with respect to red and white wire, and the same further below for Mantis 10. The red and white wires observed in photo's below are reversed to that in the diagrams above (and below). Similar discrepancies apply to the Wolf Warrior King GT diagram further above. Always take a meter reading to confirm pinouts/polarity and refer to more than one reference as the PRO+ (EY3) adopts different colours.
Wire colours observed on Wolf Warrior X Plus (Kaabo Sinewave LT01). Last two photo's and notepad courtesy the late Kev Sanders. Both have the orange (pin 1) on plug base 4, Kev's shows the brown on pin 2 as per diagram.
Wire colours observed on Wolf Warrior X Pro (MiniMotors EY3). The #2 master control socket (9-pin JST XH) and #3 secondary control socket (8-pin JST XH) on this early model has different colours to the X MiniMotors Display Diagram as it adopts a V1 controller with a conversion cable. The cable converts the V1 controller JST black SM connector to JST White XH connector for the wire collection board. The JST black SM connector is shown in background above the silver controller housing. Typically these early models have #1 display plug (8-pin) with pin 8 +ve as red, whereas the sine wave LT-01 Warrior X Plus model is observe with white. Likewise, pin 7 signal to display is white rather than red. Essentially red and white are swapped around as observe below across two different X Pro specimens.
Image below from controller product page shows testing power output from controller. Note the colours here differ to the image above as this controller is the native XH equipped V2 controller. The meter reading is one of the troubleshooting methods adopted to determine if the controller is delivering power to the hub / wire collection board via the white XHB 9-pin connector. The meter shows power across the red and black wires.

Observed in older, non-hub models of Mantis and Warrior 11.

The diagram below informed the above table. Details the MiniMotors EY3 JST SM 7-pin connector (source: Reddit) which is common on Dualtron models. The additional 7th-pin is for headlight and not used on Kaabo models.
If you are unsure as to where "pin 1 resides on JST SM, reference the below image.

Above Mantis diagrams are for Mantis 10. Mantis 8 may have variation (for example, Mantis 8 Pro MiniMotors is similar to Mantis hub / wire collecting board series). There may be some errors or variations to the factory diagrams, it is always prudent to validate wiring with a multimeter and/or following lines.
Wire collection board / hub (HUB-1)
Kaabo transitioned the wiring system with a Wire Collection Board / Hub (HUB-1) as shown on the eScootNow product page between late 2021 - early 2022. Models include the Mantis 8 Pro (which was one of the first adopters of this system), The Mantis 10 SE followed, then the newer headlight equipped versions of the Mantis 10 Pro (the "v2") and then inaugural production of the Warrior X then Warrior GT. This "HUB" uses white JST XHB locking style connectors rather the black JST SM connectors.
Connector designation from nameplate on inside of the black enclosure (lid). Usually these are on the outer side. Typically a jumper is fitted in connector #5 in lieu of physical key-lock (power switch).
Early Model Wolf Warrior GT's were observed with also having a white sticker inside the Electric Controller Box. It uses a different numbering sequence and is erroneous. Astute observers will notice the connector on white label #8 is erroneously marked as Rear indicator, it should be 60V Head light (high voltage, inc 72V, in the position per #14 on the black housing nameplate). The white label does not designate low and high voltage for headlight, for further info see the headlight product page.

and here is the main line wiring harness with that controller (the JST SM 2-pin to lights shown as red-black should be orange black).
