Rion Apex

After Rion Motors announced their new electric scooter, the Rion Apex, there was quite a buzz about it. People wondered if it was only hype that made this scooter so famous or if it was truly a beast on the road.
After the first batch came out in early 2022, it was clear that this was a foldable scooter that is as powerful as they come, with a design that made it stand out in the crowd. Equipped with two ventilated motors, a powerful battery, a sturdy build, great brakes, and reliable suspension, this scooter is more than you could ever ask for.

Bottom Line

The Rion Apex is a fantastic scooter that, unfortunately, is not readily available at all times. If you want to buy it, you will have to wait for about six months. But the wait is worth it, considering that you will get a more powerful and faster scooter than you would ever expect. So, do not hesitate to look into it more closely.
