![]() Despite being priced in the mid-ground between the Mantis Pro SE (18.2Ah) and Mantis Pro / Pro SE (24.5 Ah), it’s the slowest of the bunch and doesn’t offer many novel features or improvements to the design or build quality of those scooters. To me, the Mantis 8 Pro seems overpriced. I think they do – have a look at the table below to see if you agree. These models (which are also known as the Mantis 10 family, owing to the 10-inch diameter of their tires) are a little larger than their Mantis 8 counterparts – but do they represent better value? To answer this question, it’s worth comparing the 8 Pro to several of the other models in the Manti family – the Mantis Pro and Pro SE. Value for Money Is the Price Tag Worth it? Its acceleration packs plenty of punch, and its top speed will get your heart racing. In fact, it very nearly ties with the Apollo Ghost for this title. The 8 Pro is, however, a great scooter for new riders wanting an entry-level performance scooter. ![]() While it’s one of the lighter models the Manti range has produced, the 8 Pro is still almost 20 lbs heavier than the maximum weight I recommend for commuter scooters. If you’re looking for a commuter scooter, don’t be fooled by the 8 Pro’s trim, slimmed-down frame – this isn’t the model for you. ![]() Plus, it’s worth noting that the 8 Pro isn’t designed for off-roading – if that’s your bag, I’d recommend shelling out a bit extra for the Wolf Warrior X and its interchangeable off-road tires. Terrain-wise, the 8 Pro’s suspension, and tires (albeit small) enable it to take on both urban and off-road terrain with ease – though it’s smoother, more well-maintained roads that you’ll observe the best results. However, it’s not quite up there with the likes of the Mantis 10 Pro or Wolf Warrior X that sit in the upper tier of the category, nor is it comparable with the more basic models of its ilk – such as the original Mantis 8. Owing to its specs and capabilities, the Mantis 8 Pro can be classified as a performance scooter. Who is it Best For? Will the Mantis 8 Pro Be a Good Fit For You?
