This dude in Nashville…

Said he had some other dude in Korea build this for him. I watched him smoke the tire going down the road at 40. He did a quick hit to 105mph. Betting most here know more about it than me.
IamAfuzzyDickle@reddit
Looking at the website I believe this model is MSRP $19,200
It's cool but come on, for that money you can get something much cooler and more practical even. I would need to have much more disposable income than I currently have to even think about getting one of these.
EggnogThot@reddit
Looks dangerous as fuck lol
This_2_shallPass1947@reddit
Hell yeah it does I don’t like scooters bc I always feel like I’m gonna fly off but this thing would destroy me I’d be on the road checking gravel rash as that monster of a scooter was still flying down the street

Have you ever heard of punctuations?

This_2_shallPass1947@reddit
Are you serious? Don’t you have anything better to do with your time…sorry, you already answered that question w your needless comment.
Nihiliste@reddit
In my experience, a decent scooter with suspension and pneumatic tires should feel safe up to about 30mph, at least.
This_2_shallPass1947@reddit
I’ve been on scooters maybe 5-6 times and each time I felt like I was going to fly off the damn thing…Vespas are fun to ride but they are a far stretch from a scooter
XaeiIsareth@reddit
Did you assume a stable riding stance and move your body in line with what you want to do?
For example, if you’re trying to stop fast, you lower your body to lower your centre of gravity and get better stability.
Spnranger@reddit
Exactly.
Degobuh@reddit
I guess people forget you don't just hop on a bike. You have to learn how to ride one.
They Probably think you can just hop on a scooter and you're a pro.
PM_SMOKES_LETS_GO@reddit
100%. I picked up a dual motor scooter that can press 50 a couple of weeks ago. I haven't bothered going faster than 20 yet because I'm still getting used to it
scootergal25@reddit
I agree. Mine weighs 87 lbs, and I feel safe going 40 mph. It is a beast. The smaller ones don't feel near as stable. I have a backup small one, and about 25 is the fastest I feel going on it.
goodfellaslxa@reddit
As a mid 40s fat man who would die on a skateboard, I love my Segway scooter. It's fun and yes a bit scary. I wear a helmet but not all the other gear I should wear. I have gone over the handlebars 3 times while crossing grass, never a scratch. On pavement if you lean back a bit you feel much safer. Larger, rental scooters feel much safer. I rode a Lime around DC for a day and the longer wheelbase and heavier construction made it feel more stable than my smaller folding Segway. It's more challenging than a bike, but with a little practice you feel comfortable. Just avoid potholes.
Dnugs94549@reddit
That thing has TWO of the motors that my full size e motorcycle has. Stock controller my bike has about 25kw of output and caps out at 80mph, which is pretty mild for a qs273 motor. I'm guessing this thing is at least 25kw x2, so ~100 horsepower and 400-500 lb ft of torque combined. I bet it beats a liter bike to 60mph.
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
The WEPED you're looking at has 10.7 hp. Read the detailed specs I just posted.
Dnugs94549@reddit
It's not doing 105mph with those specs, my estimates were from that speed. 2x 4kw on 13inch hubs might not even hit 80mph. Isn't the 7260r like 16kw combined and capable of like 75? My scooter peaks at 2700 per motor and it can touch 52mph on a good day. Must be modified.
Educational_Ad_3922@reddit
If my 2k gearless ebike can hit 45mph how is it your 5kW scoot can bare touch 52mph?
The math doesn't math unless you have a terribly bad efficiency controller or your motors just wound at the factory to reach high speeds.
Dnugs94549@reddit
Probably because your tire is more than double the diameter of my tire. Riding position on a bike is probably better aero.
loquacious@reddit
Two major factors here (often overlooked) is total wheel size and total.magnetic.flux.
Wheel size is complicated because it is not just about a longer rolling distance per rotation, but there are also factors like much less rolling resistance, more rotational mass and momentum and even aerodynamic factors.
There's a reason why a skinny tire 700c size wheel bike will coast for hundreds or even thousands of feet and be more efficient per watt/distance and a small wheel stand up scooter slows down so fast when you try to coast it feels like you're hitting the brakes.
Even an analog push scooter without motors has so much rolling resistance that you can't really coast except down hills steep enough to overcome that drag.
Meanwhile a 700c analog bike will coast down practically any grade no matter how.small once you start rolling and you can cover miles and miles without pedaling at all as long as there's just enough slope.
As for motor and magetic flux - Watts is a very poor measurement of actual efficiency, power or total speed because electric motors widely vary - especially brushless DC motors of varying sizes, winding types and magnet sizes and strength.
The issue is that every brushless DC motor has a flux saturation limit that is the true limit to how many RPMs a motor can do (efficiently) and not melt down.
Smaller motors are going to reach this saturation state sooner larger motors, and on a watt per watt basis they're going to max out of torque and total speed sooner than larger motors.
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
IDK - WEPED website claims 100mph maximum speed but 87mph "safe" speed. I feel good knowing I can safely go 87 standing up on a scooter 🤸
xorbe@reddit
100 hp is ~75,000 watts so maybe not quite that much. With a small faired motorcycle, about 33hp will get you to 100 mph. 100 hp on a faired motorcycle can touch 145 mph.
Stonkpilot@reddit
Curiosity question, standing on a scooter the only thing really pushing against the wind is your body, on a motorcycle the body of the bike (aerodynamics included), bigger tires, etc. Are pushing against the wind. Considering both riders tuck in, who is more/ less aerodinamic?
xorbe@reddit
Faired sports motorcycles are entirely designed to be as aero as possible. Naked bikes (no fairings) waste more power fighting the wind. Scooters are the worst as you are standing like a board in the wind.
Illustrious-Can-7482@reddit
I have a modded e scoter I’m only pushing around 58mph at peak settings (still learning to tune). I agree 1000%. If I sit normally upright I can’t reach past 43mph. If I tuck down and bring my legs in as you would a motorcycle I can reach 58mph on flat terrain. Haven’t tried hill as there isn’t enough stability for 14 inch tires.
Dnugs94549@reddit
Scooter is worse. Naked bikes perform worse than fully faired Supersports at higher speeds. It's better to be within a solid aerodynamic shape. Lower center of gravity on a bike is big stability concern at speed as well.
Dnugs94549@reddit
Motorcycles have a transmission. It's not really comparable to a hub Motorcycle that is direct drive. A Motorcycle with 33hp is probably getting 5x mechanical advantage in its highest gear. Such a pain explaining this to people who want fast ebikes, "well my 750w bike can do 40mph, so 5kw must be like 100mph". Well, your bike transmission won't handle that much power. You don't usually see transmissions on powerful EVs, because they lose you 10-20% power/range in friction losses at any speed, to gain 50% range at highway speeds. That and most transmissions for gas applications cant handle electric torque, and there is no need to multiply torque at low speeds, combined with how fast electric motors are able spin, and ev transmissions don't make sense.
xorbe@reddit
Power at the wheel is power at the wheel, regardless of how it got there.
indiechel@reddit
I believe that pictured is an Weped Sonic scooter. It has “just” 8kw from the Dual BLDC hub motor.
military-gradeAIDS@reddit
8?! The internal motor gearing has to be insane
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
You are correct. I just posted the full specs.
Itchy_Lab6034@reddit
Seriously going 85 on a lighter motorcycle is terrifying I couldn’t even imagine this
TangoDeltaFoxtrot@reddit
I’d be down for it if it had a decently long wheelbase and wheels big enough to not get hung up on small road debris or holes. Steering geometry would be critical too

Own_Round_7600@reddit
You're equally as exposed on a motorbike, the only difference is sitting vs standing. And arguably in a crash the bike's mass can crush your leg/pelvis against asphalt or another vehicles, whereas on the scooter you'll just get knocked off your feet.
CybersoftAdmin@reddit
Finally another person that actually has a brain in this subreddit. I have wiped out on both a hyperscooter and a motorcycle, and can confirm this. Wiping out on an escooter is overall less dangerous than on a motorcycle since the possibility of any parts of ur body getting stuck to the escooter is negligible, whereas on a motorcycle ur legs can get stuck pretty easily. In fact, Im less afraid of wiping out on an escooter now compared to on a motorcycle after experiencing a wipeout on both types of two-wheel vehicles.
Simple-Rub1934@reddit
Wow, I have both a teewing X5 scooter and 2 motorcycles, dirtbike & street bike. Don't agree that your premise that crashing on a scooter is less dangerous. I have crashed on both on and off road. Have raced dirt bikes most my life and have only broken my collarbone & hand. Was involved in traffic accidents on paved road twice, neither my fault got up walked away with no injuries. Both motorcycles totaled. Like most people you likely panicked which is a natural reaction. The trick is don't panic ,relax and wear proper protective gear. I am 70 years old and ride both on and off road all the time and dont putt around . I ride them like I stole them.🤪
Short_Redhook_24@reddit
"you'll just get knocked off your feet" is a crazy way to say you will be launched over it going 15 or over and unless you have full face helmet you'll get a free face lift
toodlesandpoodles@reddit
Exposed, yes, but the smaller tires, shorter wheelbase, and higher center of gravity make a faceplant much more likely on a scooter.
Brillegeit@reddit
And a massive difference in front suspension travel. Hitting a two inch stone, hole or curb isn't a problem on a motorcycle, on this thing it's a big problem.
venom121212@reddit
Dude right? Like the thing that you hold on to for support is the thing that makes it steer and wobble. That's insane to me.
loquacious@reddit
I mean I could spend 20k on a touring/cargo ebike.
But for that kind of money we're talking custom steel or titanium frame made to measure, bullet proof carbon wheels, super high end drive train, the best in racks.and bags and maybe even a portable solar setup and some change left over for camping gear.
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
But, WEPED claims a top "safe" speed of 87mph 🙄

AnimalBasedAl@reddit
it’s hilarious that these things are completely unregulated
SK3055@reddit
Most (if not all) states define any 2-3 wheel device over a certain engine power/CC’s as a motorcycle, and this would certainly qualify. So, it might look like an unregulated moped, but if a cop catches you going 40+ mph without a registration, then it’s getting impounded.
Itsatinyplanet@reddit
That'll never happen. The cops couldn't catch you on that thing.
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
yep...🚨
aseaoftrees@reddit
Cars are already normalized in society...
RoboRhet@reddit
Cars have massive amounts of safety regulations and licensing, insurance, and registration requirements. Don't act like cars and these overpowered escooters are remotely in the same category.
aseaoftrees@reddit
Cars kill 43,000 people per year in the US despite their 'safety regulations'. They are not remotely in the same category.
RoboRhet@reddit
The only thing you are succeeding at doing is hurting your cause. You're being an asshole and looking for a fight. Anybody with more than 2 brain cells to rub together understands the difference here. If you want to advocate for walkable cities or alternative forms of transport by all means, I'm right here with you. Anti car nonsense isn't the way. Pulling this crap in completely unrelated threads and unprompted makes us all look bad and does nothing but make enemies. So from myself as a cyclist, sincerely, fuck you for making it even harder to advocate for positive changes.
aseaoftrees@reddit
I just think it's interesting that people get up in arms about powerful bike or scooter when something much more sinister already exists and is completely normal to most folks. So sorry my internet contribution has made it that much harder to advocate for safer cities. Take it easy big dog.
telephonekeyboard@reddit
Yeah, can’t let people drive around street legal race cars and complain about an overpowered scooter
aseaoftrees@reddit

Hipster-Doofus585@reddit
They aren't. They have speed limits and are restricted to certain roads or trails.
AnimalBasedAl@reddit
I’m talking about licensing and insurance
xtraman122@reddit
Wouldn’t be surprised if this guy lost his license and this is way around not being able to drive now. Hence spending so much money on a weird toy you can’t really use to its potential in almost any place legally.
Hipster-Doofus585@reddit
They are pedestrian devices and are covered under liability insurance. My State Farm homeowners covers it by default.
Pedestrian devices shouldn't need licensing, they are pedestrian devices
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
This particular WEPED scooter requires a driver's license, insurance, and registration. Regardless, in most states it's still illegal to ride on any paved road or sidewalk and most trails.
colostitute@reddit
The insurance industry hasn’t had enough time to lobby yet.

Arcaner97@reddit
I think this is the point where you should just buy a motorbike. It would probably be cheaper and safer.
CybersoftAdmin@reddit
Safer, in every aspect other than in wipeouts. Cheaper, definitely. A motorcycle would also be way more reliable than this (other than the higher maitenance requirement).
Ok-Armadillo-392@reddit
This was never about being cheap or safe.
poedraco@reddit
Agree. It's about very tiny tiny wheels going over really big holes
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
The tires are 20 inch. Larger than any other scooter and even many motorcycles. Read the full specs I just posted.
poedraco@reddit
Outer circumference. Maybe. Which my scooter 8-in rim is about that size. Most were cycles are anyone between 16 and 17-in rims. 17 would be a standard sports bike front end
GrapeHappy8513@reddit
WEPED specs list the tire diameter at 20". I don't know what the wheel size is. I wasn't thinking of tire aspect ratios when I made my comparison to scooters and motorcycles. Probably because my bicycle brain realizes that a 20" tire refers to an actual 20" wheel and tire diameter - not whatever the smaller wheel size happens to be.
poedraco@reddit
I know motorcycle tires and automotive measure there's one way. Bicycle measures there's another. And ATV and off-road vehicles measure theirs different.

implicate@reddit
Do you actually think this dude doesn't know that?
Arcaner97@reddit
Some people buy scooters to avoid paying tax and insurance on a proper vehicle or use it to abuse paths for shortcuts, so it depends on a person.
Of course no idea about laws around it in Nashville so could be wrong here, but its something common I see where I live.
dorradorrabirr@reddit
Or bro had a DUI
implicate@reddit
Well sure, but if you're spending whatever this guy spent on this thing (let's say $6-10k) then doing it simply to avoid tax and insurance is highly unlikely.
There is no way this guy doesn't know that he can get a decent motorcycle for that amount.
jpercivalhackworth@reddit
There are people who will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid paying any form of tax. It has little to do with money, and a lot to do with they’re angry that they’re expected to contribute to society.
implicate@reddit
Okay, but what you're saying is a serious fringe element.
What it comes down to is that none of us know what this dude's actual reasoning is, so it's kind of pointless for us to just sit here and continue to speculate.

That WEPED SONIC S DUAL E-Scooter was not made for a dude in Nashville. It is manufactured in South Korea and available world wide. Price is $19,200 USD. The battery is a 100.8V, 100Ah Samsung using 21700 50E cells with a capacity of 10,080Wh - which equals 10.7 horsepower. The claimed range is ~175 miles. The tires are 20 inch tubeless - which is much larger than standard scooter tires and even larger than many motorcycles. They claim a top "safe" speed limit of 87 mph and maximum speed of 100 mph.
In California the legal speed for a scooter is 15 mph on roads limited to 25 mph. It also exceeds the 1000W power cap 10 times. It would require a driver's license, registration and insurance. But it's not street legal anyway.
