We give asymptotic expansions for the moments of the M2-rank generating function and for the M2-rank generating function at roots of unity. For this we apply the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method extended to mock modular forms. Our formulas for the M2-rank at roots of unity lead to asymptotics for certain combinations of N2(r,m,n) (the number of partitions without repeated odd parts of n with M2-rank congruent to r modulo m). This allows us to deduce inequalities among certain combinations of N2(r,m,n). In particular, we resolve a few conjectured inequalities of Mao.
