At a Glance: What is the Mantis V2
is the second major iteration in the ultra-popular Mantis line, which had both 8-inch tire and 10-inch tire versions. It features a powerful 1000 watt motor in each wheel, which definitely skews on the more powerful end for scooters. That s paired with a whopping 1092wh battery, making for 27.2 miles of range to get you plenty far between charges. Clocking in at 66.4 lbs. The Mantis V2 isn t light per se, but it s reasonably manageable to tote around and with this weight, you will not be sacrificing speed, range, or weight capacity. Supporting a maximum 265 lb weight rider capacity, the Mantis V2 should work well for most folks.
Mantis V2 Electric Scooter Performance Review
Are you looking for a flagship e-scooter without breaking the bank Consider the Mantis V2. In our range test, we rode for 27.2 miles on a single charge. We appreciated its blisteringly fast 2.2 second 0-15 mph acceleration that s speedy yet smooth the Mantis V2 absolutely shreds tires without snapping your head back.
Its base model comes outfitted with sinewave, rather than square-wave, motor controllers, which lend buttery smooth throttle control. Packing plenty of power, the Mantis V2 handles hills with ease. Better yet, the Mantis doesn t sacrifice comfort, balancing ride quality with raw performance.
Scooter safety is critical, and one of the Mantis V2 s standout improvements is a Zoom hydraulic braking system. We found the V2 s stopping power slightly better than the 2020 Mantis Pro.
Acceleration: 2.2 second 0-15 mph
Braking: 9.7 ft. from 15 mph
Hill Climb
Accelerating on flat ground isn t terribly taxing, but riders in hilly areas will love the Mantis V2 s excellent hill ascent. The V2 outpaced its predecessor while sliding in just shy of the 2020 Mantis Pro.
Portability
At around 66 lbs, the Mantis V2 isn t feather-light, but considering its big battery and beefy motor, that s a manageable weight. Its compact, folding form factor passes the trunk test though just barely. We d suggest taking the elevator with your Mantis V2 if you ve got to traverse more than one flight of stairs, although if you hit the weights more (or less) than us, your experience may vary.
