Rion RE90

Rion RE90 is a beast of an e-scooter designed for speed enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies. With a jaw-dropping top speed and powerful motor, this scooter caters to riders looking for the ultimate thrill on two wheels. However, its lack of water resistance and suspension might deter everyday commuters or those who prefer a more leisurely ride.

Design and Build Quality:

First things first, Rion RE90's design exudes premium quality with its robust frame that feels sturdy underfoot. Crafted from high-grade materials, every inch screams durability and attention to detail. Assembling this machine was straightforward, and in no time, I was ready to hit the streets.

Overall Performance:

On the performance front, Rion RE90 doesn't just raise the bar; it launches it into the stratosphere. Commuting becomes an exhilarating dash rather than a mundane task. For fun riding, nothing compares to the rush this scooter delivers when you throttle up – it's like being catapulted forward with sheer force. Uphill climbs are a breeze too; it tackles slopes with such power that you'd think they were flat roads.

Speed is where the RE90 shines brightest; hitting 128 kph is not just possible but feels controlled and deliberate. The acceleration is instant, pushing you back as it takes off. Braking ability is equally impressive with hydraulic discs that bring you to a stop promptly and reliably. In terms of distance, covering 96 km on a single charge was more than adequate for daily rides and spirited jaunts alike.

The Motors & Battery:

The dual motors totalling 12000w are nothing short of astonishing. They deliver relentless torque and make every ride feel like a launch sequence. Battery performance was consistent with the specs, providing long hours of ride time without faltering, even when pushed hard across various terrains.

The Wheels & Braking:

Rolling on pneumatic tires provided a reasonably comfortable experience despite the absence of suspension – though rough patches did transmit jolts directly to my hands and feet. Braking was always secure and instilled confidence with each ride, thanks to the responsive hydraulic system.

Overall Handling:

Handling on this scooter felt intuitive yet demanding due to its aggressive performance profile. In urban settings, weaving through traffic felt like dancing on asphalt – albeit carefully given its speed capabilities. Off-road handling wasn't its strong suit without suspension but manageable nonetheless on less challenging terrain.

Maintenance and Repair:

Maintenance-wise, keeping up with the RE90's needs proved straightforward for someone handy with tools. The brand offered decent support for issues encountered but repairing some things had to be tackled DIY due to part availability which could be limited at times.

Additional Features:

Despite its focus on raw power and speed, Rion didn't skimp on features that matter for convenience such as quality electric gauges that kept me informed about battery life and speed – essential for managing such a potent ride.

Rating:

I would give Rion RE90 an 8/10 based on its incredible power delivery, remarkable range and speed capabilities. Points were deducted for lack of water resistance, lighting options for night riding, and limited availability of parts which could be critical for long-term maintenance.
