American Sundiro Mantis II reviews

This moped is good looking and mine goes up to 35 mph. sometimes faster down hill. Some parts are hard to find but there are companies with them. That guy who said his goes 22 mph. has something wrong with his. I recommend this moped to anyone, it is super fun and quick for a 50cc. Plus, the engine is a solid 2 stroke engine. Show less

These Mantis's are still avilable new even though they were dropped as of Sept. 2002 so somebody out there might still be considering buying one. This thing is incredibly weak. It will not go up hills. I don't mean that it creeps up hills slowly. I mean that it wont go up them. The automatic clutch is not adjustable on these which means that you are stuck with it as it is. The engine is very limited in power and no upgrade parts are avilable. It is not just a matter of it being 50cc - it also seems to be very limited due to carburetion. Also, some dealers say they will go 35mph but it's not true! It is 35km/h or about 22 mph, and then only on level ground. The outer scale on the speedo is km and the inner is miles, and the miles scale only goes to 30, but some dealers conveniently miss this. I recommend the Sundiro Akita instead. It has good power and upgrades are available. Show less
