Reference Materials for Kaabo
Comprehensive artifacts including wiring diagrams for Kaabo models of Mantis and Wolf.
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 K2 variant for Wolf King GTR (Advanced S/ESP & other functions).
The KM03 Central Display (4 inches, 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 2024 inaugurally on 48 volt Mantis X Plus and subsequently on the 60 volt models of Wolf Warrior X Max, X Plus and 11 Max through 2025-2026.
The CM06 (monochrome, often called Kaabo Display or NFC display to differentiate from the non-NFC LT01) 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.

This is a very early list and will not reference the front frame revisions and related changes to bearing type. Parts inaugurally produced for this model are designated as new development, borrow means inherited from an existing model.

Wolf Warrior GTR display main line was initially 4/8 (4 connectors, 8 cores) for TFT and progressed to 4/9 to additionally accommodate KM03 Central display. The diagram (drawing) below shows the KM03 Central Display convention (with Green wire to 2-pin XH) and the photo's show TFT convention (Green wire in pin 8 with brown sharing with the black in pin 6). The image, sourced here does not inform what the 2-Pin XH connects to, or what purpose it serves for the KM03.
Wiring diagrams and references for Kaabo Wolf Warrior GT and Wolf King GT series.
The Wolf Warrior GT Wiring Diagram reflects both the PRO (TFT) and PRO+ (Minimotors EY3). The diagram is an early version with known errors:
- The plug base adjacent to the 7-core main line (switch) is incorrectly labelled as No. 2 plug base. This should be No 4 plug base.
- The PRO is labelled as having a 10-core main line for display. This should read 9-core.
- Both Pro+ and Pro are missing a line for the wire labelled red.
- In almost all instances (for both PRO and PRO+) it is observed that pin 5 = red (rather than white) and pin 8 = white (rather than red). The Wolf X series (LT01) also has colour discrepancy on pin 8 with the other colour being in pin 2 rather than 5.
- You may find the wire labelled as purple on the PRO display main line is actually brown, for dual motor switching.
Photographs show the wire colours observed on Wolf Warrior GT PRO (TFT, Sine Wave) with closer view of throttle/display, plug for plug base 1. Note white on the end (pin 8) in socket 1, not red as per the diagram. The brown wire is clearly show, this is the 9th wire, noted as purple on above diagram - it serves purpose of dual motor switching and connects to pin 1 on plug base 2.
This diagram details the pinouts for the number 1 plug base (display, 8-Pin plug), from an eSN TurboTrack Harness which adopts the observed colours on GT PRO (TFT) models. It also clearly shows the JST defined pin assignment (Pin 1) although pin numbers are rarely referenced. Where referenced, this is the source of truth.
This list shows the designation of the pinouts across plug base 1 (display), 2 (master control / front controller) & 3 (secondary control / front controller) on GT TFT models. The Orange DM=Dual Motor. All these designations correlate with the TurboTrack Harness diagram above and observed photos further above which informs the errors in the original factory diagram.

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.
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.

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.
Wiring diagram for Kaabo Mantis 8 / 10 Lite which were introduced 2025 with the K2 protocol controller (2x20 amp 48 volt) with CM06 Kaabo NFC display. This diagram Introduces previously non-documented socket 16 adjacent to socket 3 (B-Front controller) for headlight/horn power. It also documents the Rear Tail Light (assumed 17) and 18 (keylock). The diagram also shows hall sensor and motor phase wire colours.
Observations from the late Kevin Sanders :
Wiring diagram for Kaabo Mantis 10 PRO+ with V1 controller in V2 system, introduced 2022 with EY3 Display/Throttle. Models in this era (including Base/Dual and Pro) introduced Wire collection board with controllers referred to as "V2" (version 2). These models introduced headlight. This diagram shows the sliver MiniMotors Square Wave controller, 2x27 amp with transitional V1 to V2 conversion adaptor cables to adapt the older V1 controller (Black JST SM connectors) into the V2 white XH system. These were on the very early 2022 models, prior to full native V2 controller support.
Wiring diagram for Kaabo Mantis 10 Plus / Pro (Base / Duo / Dual) circa 2022 through to 2024 with the LT01 display throttle. Models in this era introduced Wire collection board with controllers referred to as "V2" (version 2). These models introduced headlight. This diagram shows the black, Kaabo Sine Wave controller, 2x25 amp.

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 multi-meter 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).
Mantis King GT wiring courtesy the late Kev Sanders. Mantis King GT adopts universal main line left and right, only difference being JST housing between each side.
This generic Hall Sensor Motor Phase Wire Flow Chart for Sine Wave helps ensure motor wiring is appropriate. Follow this chart to determine the appropriate wiring configuration between controller and motor. You can see in the motor wire colours in the Mantis Lite Universal Wiring Diagram.
