@@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….
Wow! Glad to see they actually are shipping them out to customers, when I have to wait from my scooter deliverys from China for two months that feels like a eternity 😊
Congratulations on your scooter bro. Please be safe testing its limits. I really hope, for that price, that it really lives up to the hype. You have a unicorn! Enjoy it!
I feel like the dragy results are what we are all waiting for 🤔😂 It feels like it accelerates fast when you are on it, but it seems slower than the other powerful scooters with a lower top speed. My scooter smokes it really bad, but I'm getting around 4.5 sec to 60 mph with draggy, I actually needed to gear it up to 90 mph to do it, I usually have it top out around 65-70. (It's a chain drive). But I built it myself, none of the store bought scooters are close.
I have lots of respect for guys like you who are willing and able to custom fab your PEVs as you please. I’d like to get there one day, but for now, I just have to pay to play.
@@antonypartali it has a floorboard and is meant to be ridden standing, tons of scooters have seats. You can't even really sit on it, since it's like at shin level. Also all the ebike and emoto people say it's not one of those 🤷♂️
Awesome!!! I'm so happy for you. The Apex looks magnificent. Your unboxing was so precise and very well detailed. Great job! Just keep in mind that the Apex still must be tested for durability before you go all out MAX with that Draggy. Be safe and GEAR UP GOOD. I value your contribution to the PEV community and I want you to be safe...
thanks, brother. I know exactly what you’re saying and I will do my best to test the performance of this scooter as safely as possible. I appreciate your comment. you’re a real one 💯
@@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.
No damper is a death sentence. But if you know your machine it doesn’t really matter I guess. If you had to ride it in the rain I would be concerned about that power button but there is no reason to buy this scooter for commuting so it’s not a big deal. Have fun!
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 🤙🏾
@@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.
lucky for me I placed my order with LEO PEV, not RION Motors. those who ordered from the latter are the ones who are unfortunately enduring an unspecified period of waiting and without any guarantee of delivery. I ordered from LEO PEV on September 2023 and had my scooter at the end of January 2024. my wait was approximately 4 months.

@@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?
I have the x limited and im barely happy with the product quality for the price. This thing has badly 3d printed parts, ported hubs to short out your motors and controllers and no HUD? The slider you showed looked horrible. If they can't even tune a 3d printer i would not pay 8k for a product.
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).
well, let’s see. slack core920 clocked at 90mph as per NUMO. Emove roadster clocked at 73mph as per Freshly Charged. what competition have I missed? to my knowledge, the Apex hasn’t been clocked on GPS yet. if all goes as planned, I will have that data soon.

I remember receiving my Rion Re60 after a 1 year wait. Great feeling. Congrats mate
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

this is my hope as well. thanks for your comment 🤙🏾
Nice unboxing bro. That no weight speed test was unexpected. It’s really moving.
thanks brother! this thing definitely packs a 🥊
It's one of the most powerful scooters... Waiting to see dragy tests..👀😁
Wish you the best my friend.. and hope to delivery all guys orders!! 🙏
appreciate your comment. excited to see how this experience goes 🤙🏾
You should do a speed test. Ride safe bro. Nice scooter
speed test and more is coming, I promise! thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏾

Finally unboxing🔥
Pretty sick
@@jaybones614 it really is though. what are you riding, brother?
Awesome looks very nice 👍
Mine has a mini touch screen….❤
@@oviss5946 nice! I think they’ve also added a little tail light along with your display since the original design. oh well 🤷🏽♂️🤣
no front suspension?
@@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

47inches height that's well short I'm 6.3 my scooter is 53inchs in height and I still struggle... ill have to get a seat

what size battery and how much does this cost?
I included that information in the video, but the answer is a 100.8V, 29.4 Ah MOLICEL P42A battery (24s7p).
the price is $8,399 with NYS tax.

Infront has some suspension;

"arguably the highest performance racing scooter in existence"
Not really, pretty slow compared to its competition.
