Lmao I can see where you’re coming from 😂 what scooters are you into?

@@matelslug1 not gonna argue w that, brother. I do have a Dragy. the people will get their stats 💯

@@matelslug1 next Apex video I put out I’ll make sure to get GPS data 👍🏽

@@stevencruz426 that would be a Feliz Navidad for real 🎅🏼🛴💨

@@usm7924i wish bro they expensive ash

thank you good sir! just got my V3 forks….let’s see how that goes!

@@buliemuyenzelwa3296 nah, they sell online exclusively. leopev.com

@@ScootaGang I hit about 77mph at least, every time I step on the deck. The wobbles happen when I let off the throttle at speeds greater than 50mph. I’m pretty comfortable now at controlling this beast at the speeds I ride. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to just anybody, though, so in that sense I guess I can’t say it can hit 60mph safely. But don’t call me slow, bro 😂

@@WattWerxPEV I’m going to review these uploads on a few different devices to try and see what you mean. Hopefully I can get this ironed out 👍🏽

@@WattWerxPEV thanks for the feedback. I’m going to look into it.

@usm7924 no problem bro. I use the same cam and had the same problems. I found the sweet spot to be 4k at 50 frames for 360 uploads and standard 1080 for forward looks great on the big screen. Also, check the settings for grain, "speed" illusion, steady cam options etc. Awesome ride bro!

@ thanks, brother. I’m not super knowledgeable about the AV aspect but I’ll do my best to implement your suggestions.

@@matelslug1 it’s no Dragy, but that Cycleplus on the handlebar is a GPS speedo 💯 I have Dragy data which I’ll include in a future video 🫡

@@PBJ-pl1bu 80mph w the current tuning.

@@usm7924 WoW!!! Top Speed in the Video?

@@yojamey 77.3mph

@@johnrichardson5089 Always great insight from you, brother. 🙏🏽 I also learned that you can stabilize wobble by adding throttle, but if it were a racing situation where you’re shedding speed for a corner, that technique would not be viable. I’m hoping the V3 front fork Matt said he would send me will help….I’m still on the original forks. I’ve also been talking to a carbon RION rider who believes that wind turbulence from the chassis design is the reason behind the instability. He recommends correcting this flaw in aerodynamics to resolve the wobbling issue. I guess we’ll see what ends up working.

@@usm7924 You are absolutely going to love the ride stability on the new forks. They are very easy to install also. The observation about the wind turbulence from the chasis design is more of a guesstimation, in my opinion. I think the real culprit preventing solid stability is the design of the neck that connects the fork to the deck. If that neck was completely thick solid cast iron, I believe the full stability would be unleashed. I noticed that you ride with your foot on this neck at higher speeds. I'm starting to be a little more cautious about doing high-speed runs at the risk that it could possibly snap from the constant wobbles that I've already experienced. So stay safe out there, Bro, and make sure you give the Apex a good pre-ride inspection for any damage in this area. The new forks will bring the front tire back by a few inches. It makes a huge difference, but tire pressure must be adjusted to avoid that bouncey effect I mentioned in my previous comment.

@@Antony--DIY you’re right, another, those wobbles are crazy. I’ve learned to handle the scooter better since this video. these scooters just have air suspension in the back, so adjusting stance and weight distribution is the only way to counter the wobbles. appreciate the comment!

@@usm7924 What has helped? More or less weight in the back?

@@user-bp5py6bh3g which part?

@@usm7924 Velity 511r and Slack Core series will shred just as hard ;)

@@user-bp5py6bh3g oh, absolutely! I never said the Apex is the ONLY weapon, bro. I’d love to try both of those scooters 💯

@@Antony--DIY speakin my language, pardner 💯

@@GeeboysProductions that’s what I’ve heard. Matt told me that with field weakening we can get that max speed over 80mph. I wanna find out.

@@usm7924 I've been 82 with the original tune. It had more top end power, but now I have more bottom end torque, with some power shifted from the rear to front motor.

@@GeeboysProductions would it be possible to get your parameters?

@@Antony--DIY hahah very nice, you got me beat….for now 🤙🏾 how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

@usm7924 I'm just chasing the numbers...😁 The truth is, you have one of the BEST scooters in the world!!!😻 And for sure you are the only one who caught so high top speed with Rion scooter (in TH-cam)...☝️👏👏👏 I have a diy scooter with 20+ kw... I'm a feeler (70 kilos) and not to tall (1.70 meters)😋 I'm from Europe (sorry about kilos and meters).. Keep going bro... Show to the world what Apex can do!!!🤙🔥🔥🔥

@@usm7924 I've hit 81-82 with full gear on, probably 200 pounds and 6'0"

@@Antony--DIY I have two more videos coming out soon. Sub it up man, I’d love to have you along for the adventure. PS: if you happen to be a WEPED scooter fan like myself, you’ll def wanna tune back in soon.

​@@usm7924 I'm subscribed of you from the day you upload Apex... I'm waiting like crazy to see your new videos....👀👀

@@johnrichardson5089 thanks brother. it was the speed testing that tanked the batteries, and as I was packing up the truck to go home I saw these guys rolling down the road towards me. needless to say, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

@@landsurfmarin lmao I’ve been waiting for this comment 🎯🤣

@@GeeboysProductions that’s really weird. I can see this comment though….

@@hurdthenerd I know! can’t wait for next season. We’re pretty much done riding up here 🌨️☠️

@@GeeboysProductions Rochester, NY. the best thing about riding is sharing the passion w other enthusiasts 💯

@@usm7924 It would be great to meet up with more Rion owners and other e-scooter enthusiasts. I'm in California not too far from Matt's shop actually.

@ you guys have an amazing PEV scene out there in Cali. what model do you own?

@@usm7924 I think I have the same as yours. It's the Apex from Leo PEV. I took mine back in to get the new display added to it. Before, I was using a spare phone with the VESC app mounted with the motorcycle Quadlock.

@ nice, it’s an amazing scooter. I wanna get the display too. it’s sorely needed on mine. how much did it cost you to get it?

@@oviss5946 nice! I think they’ve also added a little tail light along with your display since the original design. oh well 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

@@ZeroLoveScooters nope, none whatsoever. the philosophy for this is to keep the handling as stiff and the scooter as connected to the road surface as possible.

@@usm7924 Right on. Not for me but a cool design. Would love this guy to make a good off-road scooter

@@Kouk.john123 nah man, none whatsoever

@@jaybones614 it really is though. what are you riding, brother?

@@anthonyrodgers6613 we’re about the same height, man. I have to ride more to say for sure but when I took it on a path for the first time I didn’t mind having the bar so unusually low. it’s just a different setup.

yeah man I waited until a guy had his delivered before I ordered. you’re a seller in the USA?

I’m 6’3”; I’ve owned the Burn-e in the past and currently have the OG WW11+ in the stable along with the WKGTR. I’ve learned that I definitely do not like high bars after I tried a riser on the Wolf. The Apex is definitely low, but it’s not too bad when in an athletic stance.

@@usm7924 6,3 is 190 cm, I am 180cm so for me it will be ok especially that Leo is making them now with 6cm longer pole. thanks

it’s coming, my friend. there was a front fork failure that prompted LEO to send out a stronger part, which I will install before the review. I also had a controller glitch that I have to address. once that’s resolved I’m gonna put together a review that will be worth the wait 🤙🏾

Well, here’s the inside scoop. We’re in the midst of warranty replacement of the front forks as well as a tuning issue w the controller. Once these things are taken care of, it will be go time. I’ll have plenty more to share at that time, but it’s likely to be a week or two.

@@usm7924 Oh that's too bad. Hopefully it gets fixed shortly. I have an X12 controller myself, and its not too hard to tune with the vesc tool app so if you have any questions lmk! (Also YT never sends me notifications for comments so sorry about the late reply.

oh, this thing will never see the rain. I agree about the damper, I’ll have to make that call after a few more high speed runs. thanks for commenting 🤙🏾

A range test you say? Definitely on the to-do list my man. We’re buried in snow up here atm but I’lll be riding as soon as things clear up 🤙🏾

speed test and more is coming, I promise! thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏾

thanks brother! this thing definitely packs a 🥊

thanks brother. how’s yours been holding up?

@@usm7924 all good. although I had the deck replaced by Rion, as there was some slight lacquer peel. Absolute beast of a machine

@@customboatscreensolutions5893 that’s great news. the Apex is undergoing a bit of a rough launch, we have a report of the front fork snapping. LEO has said they will be sending out replacements with higher quality material soon, hopefully with some instructions to do the installation….

I remember seeing the video of that scooter, but it’s a custom build that isn’t sold on the market. Still very impressive and definitely on another level.

I was just taking the beast for a walk, so nothing adverse to report in the performance department. In the next video….we run. 🤙🏾

I hear it all the time, man. Hopefully this is the year. Have you had any correspondence from anybody at LEO PEV?

How long did yours take to arrive after the initial deposit/order to Leo PEV? @@usm7924

this is my hope as well. thanks for your comment 🤙🏾

I wasn’t thrilled at all with those bump stops when I saw them either, man. as for the drilled rotors, the premise is to improve heat dissipation. this is a dry weather only racing scooter, so shorting out will be a non-issue. the lack of HUD is also due to this being a bare bones racing model (I’d still rather have one tbh).

Ordered in September and it arrived in January. I waited just about 4 months.

@usm7924 wow very privilege. I ordered 2 years ago and still waiting

@@deridion7291 I’m so sorry to hear that. it seems that the folks that ordered with Rion Motors are waiting indefinitely. are you in the United States?

@@usm7924 yup

appreciate your comment. excited to see how this experience goes 🤙🏾

actually, it’s much more likely that I don’t have many subs become I don’t post very often. you shouldn’t be so presumptuous, especially for someone who doesn’t seem to create much content or have many subs themself.

well, as you may have noticed right at the start of the video, it’s snowing where I live. you think I’m going to take a 33kw scooter with racing slicks out in this weather? if people don’t want to wait to see my performance review, that’s out of my control; it will come as soon as i can make it happen.
