Notable build quality and well thought out design. From the first ride it’s easy to tell why the Mantis so popular and highly rated. Rides really smooth. Also, super happy with the extra power and battery range. Totally recommend the Mantis 2025 to riders of all levels. Purchasing from fluidfreeride is the way to go!!!

Its a smooth, fast ride. Handling and power, best bang for the buck. Amazing customer service from Chuck Kwok at the Brooklyn shop as well.

Happy with my new scooter. No problems at all. Lot’s of power.

MANTIS V2 - fluid Edition

Perfect scooter for getting back and fourth from work, or to just have fun riding around, it has quick acceleration and can keep speed going uphill. I also like that it is lightweight as it makes it easy to take inside. Will be interested to see how this scooter last long-term as it seems to be good build quality.

I’ve put around 200 miles on it so far.

Pros:

Very quick acceleration.

Light weight! 65 lbs is pretty much as light as you’re going to get for a dual motor 2000 watt scooter. Light weight means more fun to ride, and also easier to store, put in car etc.

Really great handling, I absolutely rip around on this thing. So much fun. Great ride too.

Great brakes! Hydraulic discs are far superior to cable.

Sine wave controller. I can’t even imagine 2000 watts through a square wave.

Price. I got mine on sale at the end of the year, it was $1,500 total, tax and delivery included. A good value imo.

Looks. I think it’s a nice, simple low key looking ride.

Lighting. Surprisingly good headlight, and other lighting.

Build quality seems very good, feels and rides solid.

Cons:

Not many!

I prefer a thumb throttle to the finger throttle, but that’s personal preference (and it can easily be changed to a thumb throttle).

The folding mechanism feels very sturdy, but the double locking design takes a little longer to use than some other single clamp designs that can be clamped and unclamped in 2 seconds. I don’t fold mine much so it’s not a big deal to me.

I can’t quite hit 40 mph. 170 pound rider, I can get 38 mph GPS verified on flat ground or downhill. The speedo on the scooter is pretty accurate, btw. Under 30 mph mine is dead on, at higher speeds it reads a mile or two high. On the plus side, the torque is great, I can fly up some steep hills at 32-33 mph.

Overall, I’m very happy with it, and highly recommend for someone looking for the “sports car” (high power, low weight, great brakes and handling) of scooters.

This scooter is a great upgrade from my Horizon. Very punchy acceleration and no problem going up steep hills. Average speed for my scooter is 39mph but have been able to get it up to 43mph on a easy downhill commutes. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Awesome! Love it! It’s powerful enough to get up an hill in San Francisco no problem! To be respected! Thanks again!

I'm a buy once type of person so I tend to buy as good as I think I'll ever need. I'm feeling good about this choice. I wanted something with a suspension, dual motors, pneumatic tires, disc brakes (hydraulic in this case), and good top speed (for when I get the nerve to use it). I wanted to keep this around 55-65 pounds to be able to load this up for camping and various of other outings. Everything arrived safe in the box without issue. Everything on the scooter looked to be tight and in place. Great bang for the buck.

This is my 3rd purchase from freeride south. In 2000 I bought 2 Mantis base models and just picked up the Mantis V2 version. What an amazing scooter with Amazing upgrades. If you want comfort, speed, style, reliability and distance this is your choice!!!! Do it, you won't regret it!!!!
