For those who worry about falling at 80mph just get a motorcycle suit, helmet, boots, gloves and your pretty safe, imo it's meant for this fast scooter. Falling with helm and clothes will get you some nasty road rash, bruises or broken limbs.
I've seen my share motorcycle accidents at 45 with proper gear. None of them have walked away, all have needed to go to the hospital and one is permanently disabled. So .....

In 1994, 7th grade for me, my neighborhood buddies and I built a gas powered scooter using the big mag wheel scooters with the bike tires and brakes. Although we had to remove the rear one as it interfered with the rear wheel being driven. We put a weed wacker engine on a chain drive and away we went. It would do an honest 41-42mph. After months of blasting around the neighborhood and trying to keep up with cars, the front tire blew out at speed and I ate sh*t, sliding a good distance on my shoulder and forearm. But you know what, we slapped another set of tires on that thing and kept on having a blast, road rash and all.
I lean towards airless tires for that reason, gives a more solid feel, slight height reduction and little more weight depending on the tire thicknesses.
I daily a motorcycle and grew up riding all sorts of different things. I could not imagine going over 70 mph on a freaking standup scooter. Just ridingg the lime scooters downhills in Tacoma was scary enough. 35 miles an hour feels fast AF on those things. That being said, I want one.
It's impressive that a company spent the R&D and cost to develope such a great scooter when the market is so small. It is growing, but still very small.

Thank you for doing such a thoughtful review. I’m currently exploring transportation and recreation using electric vehicles exclusively. I plan on building an off grid home using solar, wind and hydro power. I’m glad there are companies that are using cutting edge technologies in order to advance the use of them. I’m sure that as things develop the cost will come down as well as more people using it. There is one very important point I want to make here and that is safety. If we ride responsibly with e-scooters the public will have a more positive attitude towards them. Given the fact that there is opposition towards them we need to do everything we can to promote them. Here are some suggestions I have for all riders. Be a defensive rider; always assume people can’t see you. When using the bike/pedestrian trails, slow down when passing people and alert them that you are going to pass. If you show people respect they will remember that, especially when a ballot issue comes up that might ban e-scooters. Sorry if I sound like a dad, but I can’t help it. I very much want e-scooters to become common place. There are so many benefits to them. Stay safe and have fun! Here is a link you should follow if you’re interested in the accident statistics in the US. www.google.com/amp/s/www.9news.com/amp/article/news/study-40000-e-scooter-injuries-nationwide-from-2014-2018/73-f0f34d72-bf47-4b71-8194-45dee525d462
Thank you for the thoughts and sharing your suggestions, they are really great. I am looking forward to a cheaper and more accessible form of electric transportation for all in the future. Ride safe!
When I turned 12 in the late 90’s my dad got me a go-ped sport that had a top speed of 20mph. Most friends had them too. I think it was like 400 dollars. We used to carry around a little pouch of oil in our pocket so we could ride all day. Parents used to say “back in our day we didn’t have those cool toys”. 😂 Now look at this stuff 🤯 wasn’t even that long ago!!
I’d be your parents age. What is a go ped. Bikes and skateboards were my thing + when they came out with snowboards and Mountains started letting us ride them on the run it was far out.
Replying to folks seems to light up people's day, so I try to! Won't be able to do it forever, but I'll at least try to respond to the upvoted comments in the future.
it looks like one of the most fun ways to travel, even if I'm not want to test the top speed it is good to have some extra power and know it can go fast
I rode an E300 down a big hill and reached 30-35 mph. That was pretty intense and ended with a little crash when it got unstable and I couldn't make a curve. It was fun though.
Kevin, I also want to add all the videos you have posted are awesome. Particularly, this video is well edited and just enough of the background music to melt into. I have to say this video is seductive and pushes you to get a Rion. Good Job!!! Keep up the good work. I hope you get the chance to post more of the Rion thrust in the near future. Ride safe
Finally quality construction and performance that looks great. Dualtron and Rion produce really nice scooters and are at the top when it comes to design and performance.
i would never get on that beast but your review was superb . it was the little details of explanation that impressed me. You used the hyperbolic term of " military grade " but then went on to explain what that really meant . well done !
Wow,the shock I had there 😂 I thought you would say you didn’t have or something and really wish you did but you say you have the 11x! I got a random scooter with a top speed of 12mph 2 years ago and got into scooters,I got a ninebot a few months later and still use it.I always dreamt of getting 10x or even 8-9x but that’s for a different time,for now I’m just enjoying my ninebot.your very fortunate to afford and have that scooter,11x is ome of the best in the world in my opinion and is not far from the rion.
I got a meepo mini 2 skateboard for 400 us dollars. Goes 28 mph (actually a bit faster..33ish since I put larger wheels on it), and has 10 mile range. They have a version with 20 mile range. Anyway, not a 80 mph scooter, but still the best 400 bucks I ever spent on a toy. Would have definitely used this thing in college or actual transportation while in the city. Now I just slam beers and fly around my burbs as the old crazy guy. 25+ mph is absolutely terrifying... That scooter looks like a death trap!

They have discounts now for added items. I strongly recommend adding the 100mm PU rear wheels if you have bad roads in your area. The stock wheels get beat up pretty bad after a few hundred miles of you have allot of gravel areas... The 100mm have more rubber and are much more durable. Shipping can take a long time too, but boy this thing is fun (very dangerous as well... Serious power!!!).
I’m actually getting an electric scooter after 6 days I can’t wait thanks for the video you made now I can watch your electric scooter videos while waiting for it to come home love your videos your the best TH-camr I mean most AWSOME TH-camr you deserve 100M subs

@@AlienRides brother I super APPRECIATE your response as I didn't expect it!! I'm literally watching your video on the NAMI as we speak! I'm in LA I'm absolutely HOOKED
Hey brother the weight of the rider is a big consideration for top speed and battery consumption I'm 6'8 and 270 and I topped out at 64 mph on a flat surface, 71 downhil and 56 going up hill, I also average about 35 - 45 miles tops per charge. Its still a fantastic product and I definitely do not regret my purchase. Thank you for the great video
Be safe out there and remember that just cause your on a “scooter” doesn’t mean you are exempt from the traffic laws of the road. If someone looses control of their vehicle and dies trying to dodge you when you were in their lane you may be held responsible for for manslaughter. Awesome footage, and beautiful editing though.
Good video. I'm curious to know what kind of vibration do you feel on the deck of the scooter when you're going 60mph+? Also, is there a difference in tire quality between Rion and lesser priced scooters of same size tire? Thanks.
It is quite stable, though you might occasionally find that the tires can get a little lumpy at extremely high speeds. I would say that RION makes the highest quality scooters right now. 👽🖖
@The Illegitimate President using this at high speed will kill you. Stupid shit from China I'm guessing. hahah carbon fire this etc and that. Well at least it might survive an accident to pass onto the next idiot after previous owner becomes a ball of blesh bone blood and brains after hitting a barrier at 80mph
You have gotten very professional! You took my suggestion on getting new helmet? I appreciate A TH-cam content provider who is open minded! a breath of fresh air! Like how you white bored and practice your voice ,over very professional! Thank you for refreshing Video to watch!
Thank you! I have had this helmet for a while now, and will be unveiling a brand new one very soon. I'll probably still annoy you with my junker helmet sometimes to vlog in 😆
This video is so good that it convinced me to get one asap, then i remembered that i don't even have a car ,(it's still great thing to dream about having one day 😂)
I doubt I'd forget about the ~$5000 scooter I ordered, and if I did, it wouldn't be 6 months of forgetting. I'd have to forget it every day, until it arrived.
I didn't know the lever griping reaction was called whisky throttle. That's definitely what I've been experience on my Apollo pro. On top of that, the standard lever throttles obstruct the front bake lever thereby making it less viable for stopping. I Definitely want to upgrade the throttle to the Rion system when I get a chance.
Yup, I think systems like the Rion throttle are much safer to use all around. I think they're still in the process of making sure they're compatible with Apollos/Dualtrons, so hopefully everyone can upgrade to them.
Hah, we do get a lot of flak from skateboarders, but they have no idea how much fun they are missing out on. Imagine when they discover they can hill bomb UP hills with motors. 🤯
The video is amazing. The editing and presentation makes me feel like I'm watching a Porsche, Bugatti commercial. That scooter is amazing. For its features, it definitely feels worth it
My father is getting super old and he has a nice inheritance for me when he passes away. In honor of my father, who used to race motorcycles and was always a bit of a thrill seeker I will be purchasing a massive pile of electric toys! You only live once!
I really hope these electric scooters become legal to use in the UK I know that you can legally own one and use it on private land with the owners permission but I want these to become legal to use on roads mabye not public paths obviously that is why I haven't got one yet I'm waiting for this to come in and then I will strongly consider buying one

It's not only the electric scooter that I'm impressed with... The video quality is also crazy!!! Keep It up!
I'm using dualtron thunder and I'm pretty happy with this, my arab friend ordered this one can't wait to test it out my self it looks impressive
Awesome, can't wait to hear what you and your friend think when riding the Rion.
I agree, having a way to see road in the dark, park it, actually be visible by cars and being able to show turn signal is so distracting.... This hyper scooter would make BMW riders proud.
Hah, well those features might make it more traffic worthy, but easy enough to add on your own if desired.
Thank you for doing such a thoughtful review. I’m currently exploring transportation and recreation using electric vehicles exclusively. I plan on building an off grid home using solar, wind and hydro power. I’m glad there are companies that are using cutting edge technologies in order to advance the use of them. I’m sure that as things develop the cost will come down as well as more people using it. There is one very important point I want to make here and that is safety. If we ride responsibly with e-scooters the public will have a more positive attitude towards them. Given the fact that there is opposition towards them we need to do everything we can to promote them. Here are some suggestions I have for all riders. Be a defensive rider; always assume people can’t see you. When using the bike/pedestrian trails, slow down when passing people and alert them that you are going to pass. If you show people respect they will remember that, especially when a ballot issue comes up that might ban e-scooters. Sorry if I sound like a dad, but I can’t help it. I very much want e-scooters to become common place. There are so many benefits to them. Stay safe and have fun! Here is a link you should follow if you’re interested in the accident statistics in the US.

Thank you for the thoughts and sharing your suggestions, they are really great. I am looking forward to a cheaper and more accessible form of electric transportation for all in the future. Ride safe!
My mate has a old vw camper he changed to eletric via a tesla upgrade
This is easily the best EV review I've ever seen, great cinematography!
Thanks! We put a lot of work into this reviews 👽🖖
When I turned 12 in the late 90’s my dad got me a go-ped sport that had a top speed of 20mph. Most friends had them too. I think it was like 400 dollars. We used to carry around a little pouch of oil in our pocket so we could ride all day. Parents used to say “back in our day we didn’t have those cool toys”. 😂 Now look at this stuff 🤯 wasn’t even that long ago!!
Hah yeah go-peds were really cool, standup electric scooters are basically the next generation of them. 👽🖖
I’d be your parents age. What is a go ped. Bikes and skateboards were my thing + when they came out with snowboards and Mountains started letting us ride them on the run it was far out.
@@miked9466 a go ped is a gas powered stand up scooter. snowboarding must be hella fun, can't wait to try, far out and gnarly my dude 🤙😎✌
I love how he tries to reply to all comments, keep up the work bro👍🏻
Replying to folks seems to light up people's day, so I try to! Won't be able to do it forever, but I'll at least try to respond to the upvoted comments in the future.
it looks like one of the most fun ways to travel, even if I'm not want to test the top speed it is good to have some extra power and know it can go fast
Exactly, it's nice to have it there in case you need it, definitely a fun and stylish way to travel. 👽🖖
I love that you're testing it out at Hawk Hill and riding all over the city where I'm at
Love riding all over the bay area and exploring new places
I rode an E300 down a big hill and reached 30-35 mph. That was pretty intense and ended with a little crash when it got unstable and I couldn't make a curve. It was fun though.
Hah, that's crazy fast for an E300, hope your crash wasn't too bad. It's doable, but you need a solid scooter likely with steering damper 👽🖖
When it goes down to half the price I'll get one for me and the wife until then just daydreams.
They do have the RE60 available for a bit less, but hopefully all of the models drop down in price in the future.
Get some $XRP bought... then buy the toys next year
How much is it ?
@@getsleep5778 check there website has the name rion on it use the internet
You can get a good used Prius for nearly the same price as this scooter, and you get AC, radio, can carry groceries, and rain is a non-issue.
I wanna say one thing, you did make me happy with your professional filming keep going.
Kevin, I also want to add all the videos you have posted are awesome. Particularly, this video is well edited and just enough of the background music to melt into. I have to say this video is seductive and pushes you to get a Rion. Good Job!!! Keep up the good work. I hope you get the chance to post more of the Rion thrust in the near future. Ride safe
Thanks, we will definitely do some more Rion videos soon. 👽🖖
Finally quality construction and performance that looks great. Dualtron and Rion produce really nice scooters and are at the top when it comes to design and performance.
Yes, these are amazing scooters for sure.

I'm happy to finally see an in-depth review of the more technical aspects of this scooter. Thanks!
Glad we could create this video and release the most in-depth review to date. Might do more in the future like a full teardown.
i would never get on that beast but your review was superb . it was the little details of explanation that impressed me. You used the hyperbolic term of " military grade " but then went on to explain what that really meant . well done !
Hah, I later learned that military grade also meant cheap, but we had fun making this video anyway. 👽🖖
The quality and the sound choices were out of the world
Glad to hear, we put a lot of effort into editing and are always trying to get better.
Rion is a monster, hopefully I'll get one someay. For bow I'll keep enjoying my Zero 11X. Great review.
Awesome, the Zero 11x is a great scooter and I hope it treats you well. Definitely try the rion when you get a chance.
Wow,the shock I had there 😂 I thought you would say you didn’t have or something and really wish you did but you say you have the 11x! I got a random scooter with a top speed of 12mph 2 years ago and got into scooters,I got a ninebot a few months later and still use it.I always dreamt of getting 10x or even 8-9x but that’s for a different time,for now I’m just enjoying my ninebot.your very fortunate to afford and have that scooter,11x is ome of the best in the world in my opinion and is not far from the rion.
Terrific
I hope in the future technology will be so advanced that these types of electric bikes and scooters sell for cheap.
That is the goal for sure, we'll get there eventually. :alienRides:
I got a meepo mini 2 skateboard for 400 us dollars. Goes 28 mph (actually a bit faster..33ish since I put larger wheels on it), and has 10 mile range. They have a version with 20 mile range.
Anyway, not a 80 mph scooter, but still the best 400 bucks I ever spent on a toy. Would have definitely used this thing in college or actual transportation while in the city. Now I just slam beers and fly around my burbs as the old crazy guy. 25+ mph is absolutely terrifying... That scooter looks like a death trap!

Looks like the price went up by 50 bucks on the standard. They have discounts now for added items. I strongly recommend adding the 100mm PU rear wheels if you have bad roads in your area. The stock wheels get beat up pretty bad after a few hundred miles of you have allot of gravel areas... The 100mm have more rubber and are much more durable.
Shipping can take a long time too, but boy this thing is fun (very dangerous as well... Serious power!!!).
I get scared once I pass 30mph, and your going 80!? You have no fears
I’m actually getting an electric scooter after 6 days I can’t wait thanks for the video you made now I can watch your electric scooter videos while waiting for it to come home love your videos your the best TH-camr I mean most AWSOME TH-camr you deserve 100M subs
Awesome, glad you're getting a scooter, you're going to love it! I'm sure we'll get to 100M some day! 😁
I wish everybody on TH-cam did reviews like you. You hit every little details as if you read your viewers' minds lol. Enjoyed every second of this video.
Thank you, we put a lot of work into this one, hope to top it soon. 👽🖖
Best Rion video ever! Congratz Alien Rides!
Thank you, this was a ton of fun to ride!
I got my emove cruiser 1000w model 2 weeks ago. I've put 40 miles on her. And im already looking at this LOL.... I own a 5.0 mustang gt... the search for power never stops
It is really an addictive hobby for sure! 👽🖖
@@AlienRides brother I super APPRECIATE your response as I didn't expect it!! I'm literally watching your video on the NAMI as we speak!
I'm in LA
I'm absolutely HOOKED
During the top speed part, you just made other drivers doubting their car speedometer when they were outrun by a mere scooter
It is fun beating cars on a scooter for sure, too bad there were none in the tunnel when we did our test.
At $4,800. - $7,000. That’s expensive you might as well just buy a used car or a motorcycle. Then again neither would be so amazingly portable.
i would bought a vespa
Just imagine how stiff it is man.....
@@alexanderanghel7946 , stiff ?
@@MissMarinaCapri super stiff...
Or save you money on gas and maintenance over the years.
WHAT a work of art. Looks beautiful.
I agree, it's an amazing looking and riding scooter.
Top design
man your reviews are absolutely Amazing and the choice of background music makes everything great.
Hey brother the weight of the rider is a big consideration for top speed and battery consumption I'm 6'8 and 270 and I topped out at 64 mph on a flat surface, 71 downhil and 56 going up hill, I also average about 35 - 45 miles tops per charge. Its still a fantastic product and I definitely do not regret my purchase.
Thank you for the great video
Oh you got one? Awesome! You might be the biggest Rion rider I know of so far. Good to have that datapoint. 👽🖖
I wonder how much wind resistance at higher speed is coming into play for someone your height.
@@oddsman01 it certainly slaps me in the face pretty damn hard and makes holding on a bit tedious on longer rides.
The lighter a vehicle is the more every pound matters % wise so that makes sense
goód f9r yoú
This was a very well made video and the Rion is crazy af!
Thanks, we had fun making this on an awesome scooter.
Be safe out there and remember that just cause your on a “scooter” doesn’t mean you are exempt from the traffic laws of the road. If someone looses control of their vehicle and dies trying to dodge you when you were in their lane you may be held responsible for for manslaughter. Awesome footage, and beautiful editing though.
That is a really good point, we are liable for our actions and we should never ride in a way that will put others in harm.
it was a sensible comment, but you took all the fun out of it haha
Good video. I'm curious to know what kind of vibration do you feel on the deck of the scooter when you're going 60mph+? Also, is there a difference in tire quality between Rion and lesser priced scooters of same size tire?
Thanks.
It is quite stable, though you might occasionally find that the tires can get a little lumpy at extremely high speeds. I would say that RION makes the highest quality scooters right now. 👽🖖
The airbag technology is probably the most impressive thing about it. 👍
Hah, I don't think they have an airbag yet, but that would be sweet. Maybe a giant bubble.
@@AlienRides basically a beach ball that exploded out of his/your back pack
Bro 😂
This beast is so awesome but damn I'm scared of its speed and a small rock landing me in the hospital
Yes, riding at high speeds is definitely dangerous. So much fun though.
@The Illegitimate President using this at high speed will kill you.
Stupid shit from China I'm guessing. hahah carbon fire this etc and that. Well at least it might survive an accident to pass onto the next idiot after previous owner becomes a ball of blesh bone blood and brains after hitting a barrier at 80mph

We do get a kickback for purchases, but we definitely cover some of the negatives in the video as well. 👽🖖
Dude... 40mph on an Apollo phantom feels like flying, 80 must be a whole other plane of existence
It's the lambo scooter. Exotic scooter. Love it and of course it would be awesome to own one.
Indeed, the ultimate expensive toy. 👽🖖
yes ot iß
This guy is still hearting and replying to comments. Respecc
He tries to!
I have a 20 mph scooter and that feels quick 😂
Hah, everyone's gotta start somewhere, ride safe!
I just watched this video again after 10 months. So sick! I might be getting a Suron soon
You have gotten very professional! You took my suggestion on getting new helmet? I appreciate A TH-cam content provider who is open minded! a breath of fresh air! Like how you white bored and practice your voice ,over very professional! Thank you for refreshing Video to watch!
Thank you! I have had this helmet for a while now, and will be unveiling a brand new one very soon. I'll probably still annoy you with my junker helmet sometimes to vlog in 😆
JUST IMAGINE SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY PASSES YOU WITH THIS
Hah, can't wait to make that video.
many has done this , till it got banned , lol
I can't even afford a Rion but watching this is satisfying
That's alright, most people can't... Still fun to watch the videos though, and I'm going to be making a lot of them.
might start saving
When they send that $2000 check in the mail you will be able to afford.
@@mfcannoncannon4597 rightt😂
Thanks for the review! I bought this for my nephew. It should get him to school and back pretty fast.
This video is so good that it convinced me to get one asap, then i remembered that i don't even have a car ,(it's still great thing to dream about having one day 😂)
Hah, definitely get a car first if you need one - it's much more practical than a hyperscooter. You can get this later :) 👽🖖
@@AlienRides I'll definitely do so 🔥❤️, thanks 👽
I doubt I'd forget about the ~$5000 scooter I ordered, and if I did, it wouldn't be 6 months of forgetting. I'd have to forget it every day, until it arrived.
Yes, the wait is often the worst part.
hahahaha, I fell on the floor laughing, lol
So what u is a loser
I didn't know the lever griping reaction was called whisky throttle. That's definitely what I've been experience on my Apollo pro. On top of that, the standard lever throttles obstruct the front bake lever thereby making it less viable for stopping. I Definitely want to upgrade the throttle to the Rion system when I get a chance.
Yup, I think systems like the Rion throttle are much safer to use all around. I think they're still in the process of making sure they're compatible with Apollos/Dualtrons, so hopefully everyone can upgrade to them.
Honestly the best looking scooter ever
It really is, they do a fantastic job. 👽🖖
plot twist. since he's an alien . His scooter came from his planet. Just joking. good bike and more power to your channel.
Thanks for stopping by. I don't mind being called an alien at all.
Its amazing how he is still watching conments
Some say that's all he does with his spare time.
Skateboarders: people who ride scooters are stupid!
Rion:
Skateboarders: 😲
Hah, we do get a lot of flak from skateboarders, but they have no idea how much fun they are missing out on. Imagine when they discover they can hill bomb UP hills with motors. 🤯
Finally a scooter I can take on the highway
That would make a sick video 👽🖖
The connector is known as a “Speakon” connector. Meant for concert loudspeakers & high power. VERY robust!
Ah yeah, that's the one! Thanks for that info.
Maybe lights front and back would be advisable.
Yup, those are definitely important when not riding in the middle of the day. Easy mod to make since any bike lights should work.
You can always put them on your gear as independent units.
The video is amazing. The editing and presentation makes me feel like I'm watching a Porsche, Bugatti commercial.
That scooter is amazing. For its features, it definitely feels worth it
Thank you, we put a lot of work into these videos. Lots more good stuff coming soon. 👽🖖
My father is getting super old and he has a nice inheritance for me when he passes away. In honor of my father, who used to race motorcycles and was always a bit of a thrill seeker I will be purchasing a massive pile of electric toys! You only live once!
Now we just need to convince RION Motors to build a kickass EUC!
I'm working on that all the time, will definitely let you know if they can. Got some EUC videos coming up soon.
That would be a terrifying ride
ME: Casually rides scooter on the freeway
"Mom there's a scooter passing us"
Truly a commuter scooter
I really hope these electric scooters become legal to use in the UK I know that you can legally own one and use it on private land with the owners permission but I want these to become legal to use on roads mabye not public paths obviously that is why I haven't got one yet I'm waiting for this to come in and then I will strongly consider buying one
I really hope they are legalized everywhere, they are great machines to reduce carbon emissions. 👽🖖
@@AlienRides me too I guess I would help the environment as well
This is exactly what I have been looking for!
Pretty insane machine, hope you can try it. 👽🖖
being a scooter lover you'd be suicidal to get anywhere near 80 mph on a regular basis
Yeah I definitely don't max it out on a regular basis, very rarely. It's good for bragging rights I guess.
Lol I still say 60mph is crazy even goung 45mph on a ebike is crazy stupid and scary
wrong chiwf druve 155 mph
A long time ago I went down at 65 mph when my motorcycle went into a wobble. On a escooter you're going to face plant at that speed and good luck with that.
Haha, you said buy it and forget about it to have a surprise... I track $3 items like a madman, i can only imagine me after buying a $7k item 🧐🥵
Hah yeah... the Rion would drive you crazy in that case. Hopefully production speeds up soon.
@@AlienRides 7k for a item that might not be street legal I'd buy a motorcycle that is safer and legal
@@gulfcitynd Yeah, I'm looking at the Sondors Metacycle, or the Ultraviolette F77. One of these will be my electric, Solar charged vehicles, but I'm still keep my ICE car for other stuff. Best of both worlds. Would love the Aptera but it's out of my price range, though with the new EV Fed credit of up to 10, 000 it may be affordable.
This scooter costs two and a half times as much as my car, and 28 time as expensive as my last car
Definitely not cheap, but one of the most fun things I have ridden.
Where are you getting your cars?
If there was ever a death scooter it’s this thing. Absolutely luv it. Life expectancy 13 weeks from delivery or your money back.
