WEPED Sonic Scooter Walk-Around & Features

- I've been asked by a number of my subs to add a video of the Sonic scooter up close and personal and talk about some of the features it has and the add-ons I have. Thanks and enjoy the video!
I HATE that basically no one outside of Korea makes videos on Wepeds. These things are INSANE. I want to see western youtubers use and review these obscene machines.
I thought that's what I just did :)
@@MrLou345 Yes, absolutely and thank you. But I just wish there was a lot more. Riding videos, range tests, speed tests, etc etc.
@@EcoAcid hard braking too
@EcoAcid given their price range and location ,uS base youtubers won't be able to obtain one of these magnificent machines for review. Also, due to this particular build out ,this isn't a regular scooter by far . You are more than likely to be in need of a license two operate openly ,unlike most scooters . Please correct me if eye'm incorrect.
@@raymondpinckneyii3053 People don't realize that part of the reason these are expensive is the cost of shipping them half way around the world. My Sonic FedEx shipment was $5,000. So if you deduct that from the price (which is included) you will get the actual cost of the scooter. Outside of Korea, these will never be allowed on the streets (not in the U.S. anyway). While they meet some standards of a motor vehicle (lights, horn, turn signals, emergency lights etc) they are in the "moped" class in California where I live. A Moped not not require a license to operate but you must have a license to use one, which is weird. Although WEPED will be coming out with VIN numbers shortly, you won't be able to plate them or use them like a car. Most states that I have checked out are a long long way from making these legal like a motor cycle but who knows what will happen in the future. These scooters are not meant for off road riding. They are the Lambo's of scooters.
This is the craziest escooter I’ve ever seen. The Koreans are living in 2040 when it comes to these wepeds. The 400lbs weight alone makes the dualtron X look like a toy…
If I owned this scooter TANK, I would definitely put a seat on.
They are really stable and nibble for being 400 pounds. And yes, when I pull up to a dualtron next to me, it looks like a kids toy :)
And here, eye thought purchasing my Hollyburn eye was dealing some weight .Eye thought this to be a heavy boy ,but 400 ,incredible .Eye have been thinking about purchasing one ,now eye will definitely be in the market soon . Thank you, my friend, for the video and the safest of riding throughout Life .
awesome bro! hopefully I can order a sonic soon! every time i watch a video of yours the more I want it!
Absolutely insane, I love it. Safe journeys.
Thank you!!
what a true scooter monster you have there , best of luck and joy with it , regards from sweden.@@MrLou345
@@stigtuneback1966 Thank you!!
This is insane bro god bless your scooter !
Great review Lou! Love it 👍🏽👍🏽
This scooter is a realy cool looking scooter 😎 Best looking soo far 👍
I LOVE THAT YOU MADE THE JUMP! This is my ultimate dream scooter. I have a wolf king GT pro but this is the ultimate if you ask me.
Thanks. You should try and trade up to the Sonic?
@@MrLou345 that’s sounding like a plan to me.
Same dude. This thing is absolutely bananas
VIDEO PRODUCTION IS IMPROVING EVERY TIME !!!!!!
Thanks James!!
Your equipment with advanced technologies and cool design inspires me to create too
WOW world first in English! Congrats bro! I wish this rocket will come to Australia soon! Subbed!
Thank you!!
I feel that 😄
Very nice. So many people hate on weped because they're so expensive, to big, to heavy blah blah blah😂 what they don't realize this is a vehicle grade scooter. Like a stand-up motorcycle. They know their customer base and build accordingly. The range on that must be insane. Sadly i'll never own one because I definitely would want an authorized dealer to maintenance it. I've been riding since 2018 I miss my dualtron ultra because it was so easy to work on. Anyways congratulations, be safe and enjoy👍✌️
Thank you so much and you are correct. The people who hate WEPED are the ones who can't afford them so I ignore what they say.
never say never
😎👍... I really enjoyed your Video
I am from Barbados in the Caribbean.Awesome...love the Weped beyond my wildest dreams. 2:33
very cool!!
❤. Thanks for the review
What the hell is this insane contraption I love it ❤
Thank you!!
@MrLou345 I've just bought a rzoguwex 4000w 60mah scooter and does 70mph (96kmh) and I thought that was quick but this is insane hahaha
@@ChargedWheels congrats!!
@MrLou345 cheers my man 👊💥
Woow!! Usually I don't like scooters but this thing is just at another level wow!!!
Thank you so much. It's awesome!!
So sick!👍
Thanks!!
This Scooter Technology is So So Flithy Sick!! OMG!! Gotta Have 2two of These Monsters Machines!!
It is every bit as cool and slick as you can imagine!!
Awesome machine!
Thank you!
your vids are quality keepitup
Thanks!!
Crazy cool.
They make some crazy shit. Still so underrated after all these years. I've only ever had a GT50e, but almost got a SST, but mistakenly bought a RION😢 which never came after three fuqin years
Unbelievable peace of engineering 🚀
It's look very cool
Thank you!!
Motorcycle without a seat
Smart because you don’t need a license. But you also a add +20% chance of death lol. Maybe not smart 😅
shes a beaut. i like that its hefty if that makes sense. probably feels good in traffic too because of the sheer mass of this thing lol. was thinking of getting a scooter recently and i just cant see me getting on something so thin and fragile that could potentially speed wobble into oblivion at higher speed lol.
It's built extremely well and weighs 400 pounds but it's nibble to drive.
@@MrLou345: what are you thoughts om the weped ff, and fs? i was thinking of one of these two because they look bigger in size, but was instantly attracted to the sonic. i dont live in town so i was thinking of something that i could haul into town and parking at my parents who live in the city and using a scooter to knock out errands. im thinking the ease of getting in and getting out without the need to really look for parking.
@@vettedsin Ok, so the FF2 and FS are small but that are fast. The problem with small scooters (I've had about 8 or 9 of them before getting the WEPED Dark Knight, and now the Sonic) is any wheels that are smaller then 14 inches have wobble issues no matter what brand you buy. It's the science of wheel diameter and speed. The faster you go on small wheels the more unstable the scooter gets. You don't have that problem once you get to 14, 16 or like the Sonic 20 inch tires. Speed is relative so if you don't plan on going more then 30mph on the FFS or FF then your golden.
@@MrLou345: thanks for the insight and makes sense.
Does Weped also offer a seat kit for this model ?
Sick
Looking forward to see how much usage you actually do on it,see if that ugly extra battery even gets used..
I really like the design and concept but my one issue is with maintaince....since there is no factor dealership or anything are you just SOL trying to figure out what is wrong with it if on the off chance it takes a shat?
Bro whats that mount you got for your go pro? is it good at helping against wobbles? I ride bumpy curbs and stuff and i have loads of little shakes in my clips
The mount for my gopro has two parts. The first is the handlebar holder for the camera but on top of that is my extender battery holder that the gopro sits in (a self contained battery). I don't have any issues with the jitter of the picture but I do have an issue with the camera sometimes moving by itself because of the weight of both the camera and extender. No matter how tight I make it, it stills moves. I could mount it to my helmet but I don't like that idea because some of the trails have low hanging tree branches and that's not a good thing.
Awesome 🎉❤🎉 That maybe my 60 th birthday gift in the Future. I just upgraded to a Tifgalop K8 and it’s fast enough and 💪🏻. That’s a Giant 😊😜😍👍⚡️👍👻
Can you raise or lower the handlebars? Also how much room is on that deck. With the batter sitting on a 3rd of the deck it looks like it steals a lot of foot space.
You can't raise the handlebars. They fold down for storage but they are not adjustable. You could have two people easily ride on the deck. It's that big.
❤Thanks Lou~
you have more america customers putting orders?
Hello. I follow your RUclips channel and I already appreciate all the information I've gained from your videos, and all the comments you exchange with viewers. On March 7th, I decided to buy the Weped Sonic S Dual, full LED version and external battery. This version is 100.8V 100Ah, which when adding the third battery (external) becomes 100.8V 150Ah (gaining an incredibly amazing range)! It is currently in the construction phase, with an estimated delivery in the third week of April. I can't wait to receive this little monster and test it out.
Awesome to hear and congrats
Excellent video. Does your weped come with instructions on instalation and maintenance. Happy trails.... 👍
no instructions per se, but certain maintenance procedures in the future might be a challenge for me at some point, after all I am 67 years old.
@@MrLou345 i heard that a weped dealer is opening shop in Seattle or somewhere in Washington State ..would make it easier for warranty work and whatnot ✌️
also I am scared that if I ride the sonic in the bike lanes i will get in trouble with the police. have you had any bad interactions with them yet?
Thank you so much for this; I wanted someones perspective of this scooter in the Us; Is a license and insurance required to legally operate that in the street in the us?
Hi, no license or insurance needed, however, every state in the U.S. has it's own laws regarding where and how fast you can use them. I can tell you I live in California, and you can use them on the streets that have a dedicated bike lane OR you can ride them on paved bike paths like I do. You can't take them on highways or freeways of course nor ride them above 25mph :)
Do they ship to Sweden by Any chance Im 16 and i always dreamed having a Electric scooter that tops 100kmh+
This Scooter is a Beast.. it's what I've been waiting for.. it will probably Transform into Sonic Prime. 😎😎😎
S
Go for it, they are awesome!!
What was the total wait time from production start to delivery?
I ordered mine when they were still designing it. I ordered it in Feb. got it in April.
do you have any spec information about this monster?
like peak power, real world top speed?
I think its 90/110 mph
Are they legal to ride on the highway? l have one similar 3000w x two its crazy, worried about riding it on the road
In California (every state is different) they are only allowed on streets that have a bike lane and you have to ride in the bike lane and no more then 15mph. The other place you are allowed to ride (like i do) is on paved bike paths, and again, the speed limit is 15mph. You are never allowed to ride on any highway, and road other then what I just described.
Thats friggin awesome, 1st Sonic in the US 👍🏼
I had no idea it weighed that much!
Do you know the maximum wattage?
The Sonic is 84V 100Ah - 8400Wh
@@MrLou345 he means max watts the motor can draw, as opposed to continuous power
I Have a Question...... Does it have a Vin# To get it Registered to drive on the Road??
Or is it ok to drive it on the surface Roads without getting in trouble with the Cops??
Or can you get a Registration for it??
In California, you can’t ride on the surface streets without bike lanes. You can only ride on streets that have them or bike paths that I use. You can’t register them, as they are in the moped category and it doesn’t come with a VIN number.
Looks like a big meccano set
For a big city,you need a scooter that can fit between two cars in a traffic jam
Since these are not made to drive on L.A. streets per se, it's not a problem.
Is this Sonic S 100.8V(Samsung SDI 21700 50E) 100Ah? Also whats the engine watts?
It is just Sonic 84V 100amps
Does A size 12 feet fit on the stand.
The deck without the external battery is 24" long x 12 1/2 wide. With the external batter it's 21" long x 12 1/2 wide. You only loose 3 inches with the battery mounted like I have.
Im curious about the 🔋 range?
The range all depends on how you use it, and the weight of the rider. I can get about 150 miles on it driving normal and not a speed demon,
This thing is nuts lol.
wut iz that thing in the midle ?
If you are talking about the front of the scooter, that is hanging down over the shock, that is my ultra lock in case I want to lock the scooter up while I'm at store or something if that is what you are talking about?
Did your scooter come with the small 4.5 in handlebar grips? I ordered three pairs of 5 inch ones on Amazon with the anti fatigue rest for your wrist. I noticed the hand fatigue after my first ride on my Sonic X
I did the same thing, and that was the first I changed. I told Weped a number of times to stop with these cheap little things like handlebar grips and install ones for your wrist. I gave them a number of improvements to change that were minor but make a big difference, like adding mirrors, and offering a better solution for the charging interface, instead of cheap plastic end, as well as adding a cell phone holder. all of these things should be free and would make the experience much better, IMO.
@@MrLou345 also a good idea is to get some cnc spirit beast wheel sliders, let’s hope not but in case an accident you will limit damage to the rotor, tire or brakes, I learned the hard way after I hit a deer 🦌 on my Teverun fighter supreme a few weeks ago, luckily I was ok and I replaced some small scratched pieces I found on aliexpress on this scooter
@@AlexErides I'm not familiar with what that is but I will look it up. Thanks for the info.
How do you like the Sonic so far after a few weeks of riding? I love my Sonic X, I read another comment you said using 2 motors is too much power and you always use 1 motor, do you have any regrets or it’s just right? Did you underestimate the power of the Sonic?
@@AlexErides I like my Sonic and since I bought the Weped Dark Knight before it, which had dual motors as well, that's why I went with the switch that I can turn on or off the dual motors. It's just right for me. WEPED just uploaded a video yesterday showing the Sonic going 95mph. These things are powerful and there is no competition anywhere in site.
What type of weped is this? I want the same one.
It's the WEPED Sonic dual motor 84v 100amp. It's $15,700.
I guess it depends on the state, but im guessing this will need to be registered? What class of vehicle would this even be?
You can't register these. They fall under the category of mopeds. There is nothing to do but ride them.
Rider guide is based in Silicon valley and they do their range and speed tests on the road at all times. Have you even tried to ride it on the streets? I don't think they're nearly as restrictive as you think. That's a bunch of bologna that this wouldn't be allowed on highways though, a huge bummer, especially because this one can keep up with highway traffic. I want one. I'm extremely bummed about that.
How long does it take to charge that beast though? Thank you if you decide to answer me
To answer your question, you need to understand how California is setup. Each city has there own scooter rules, aside from the CA DMV. An example is Santa Clarita, where I live is very strict. They do not allow any renatl scooters like Lime and Byrd at all, while in Santa Monica they do and have very relaxed rules on where you can ride them. Both city's are in Los Angeles county. That's the problem. I have to ride a couple of blocks on the streets to get to the bike paths. They are the only place where you can ride them where i live. It's craxy but that's the way it is, like it or not. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge from 60 volts (min) to max at 84 volts fully charged using 15A fast charger.
4 hours is extremely fast, that's awesome! With such a large range, that's such a shame it has to be this way. If it wasn't, then you would easily be able to drive between Santa Clarita and anywhere in Orange county on a single charge. Thank you for taking your time to explain everything to me. @@MrLou345
Where did you buy the mirror? Can you provide me a link?
On amazon - here's the link - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DX3H73V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@MrLou345 thank you. Congratulations on the scooter! It’s a dream scooter
this is the sonic x which is 10k not the sonic dual which is 15k right?
No, mine is the Sonic $15K
Single dual motor is only useful if you can choose the axle . I don't see what it comes be useful for ? The range is extended by using both
It's very useful when stopped at a light when using single motor. If you just lightly touch the throttle when in dual mode, the scooter will just take off and if your not prepared for that jolt, you or the scooter will get hurt 100%, full stop. Remember, this is basically a standup motorcycle that will do over 100mph. On Weped's website they make those videos showing them going down the highways at high speed but in the U.S. you will go to jail if you tried that in L.A., California seems to loves lunatics...
@MrLou345 mine does a theory 115++ ,but 0-60 just over 5 sec. I have 2 nd84530 controllers . @40kw- 56kw ( could be) footscooter that weight 205lb. I have parking / cruse functions for that. And 3 speed highly programmable . For less than . Fardriver controllers are also available with locking keyless alarms system . Making it very difficult to push away ( it's very loud ,and kicks back) . (Could you tell I'm a fanboy of Fardriver)?? Ok , thanks for sharing why you spec. It on your scooter. The Sonic would have been so much more if they used the samsung 50s ,and not the 50E cells in my opinionated opinion 🤔. It's only 8.5kw output, but over 300lb?! The 50E cells are only 9.8amp rate, but the 50S is 45amp output !
Who did you order it thru? How much?
I ordered it directly from WEPED in Korea. It was $15,700. U.S. including shipping by FedEx. in 1 week.
Please be honest: I heard the Samsung 50E batteries in these scooters get fried if you use a fast charger 15A. Is this true? Please let me know. It’s very important.
no, this is completely false. Before I bought the WEPED Sonic, I had the WEPED Dark Knight scooter that had the same batteries and never ever had a problem. Both scooters use the 15A charger.
@@MrLou345 thank you for your feedback. It really helped. Enjoy that awesome scooter! Congrats!
Are you selling your dark knight?
Are they water resistant at all?
No, at most you might get a way with a light mist, but they are not IP rated at all, which doesn't bother me as i live in Los Angeles and it doesn't rain that often :)
MrLou345,were did you buy that Ultra Lock at? let me know.

so amazing, thank you. what is the price?

This is like a supercar of electric scooters
Yes it is for sure!! There is nothing out there that can compete with the Sonic.
Where do u get one from
Here's the website. I ordered it directly from WEPED in Korea - cyberfold.co.kr/
How much will cost me shipment to California ?? Are they shipping from Seattle or Korean??
The shipping price is including when you purchase it. That is one of the reasons they seem so expensive. They ship from Korea.
Man I'll tell yea this scooter is the monster power train superb !!! I WISH I can put comfy seat that way I can stand up at any time or sit down
does take bumps or feel like it hovers and does it wobble steer?
I had other WEPED scooters (Dark Knight) before the Sonic and the the Sonic takes bumps with ease. Zero wobble or over steer. Remember, this scooter has 20 inch tires with the best built in damper on the planet.
Do you think sonic S has 20inch wheels too?? How fast it can go 110mph. Or more??? What about yours what range can you get when you driving 65-75 mph. ???
@@p3dtesla118 Yes, the Sonic S has 20" wheels. The question you have about speed, not sure anyone would want to go 100mph+ on a scooter. Can you do it, sure, mine has the ability but in Los Angeles where I live, There is nowhere to go that fast as they are not allowed on the streets without bike lanes. the speed limit is 20mph in a bike lane and/or bike path where I ride. If you were to attempt this in a city, the cops will have a field day with you and gladly confiscate your $20,000. scooter and you will never see it again. I can go 35-45mph for a distance of about 150 miles. But there are factors to take in consideration - I have the external battery, that helps me achieve this, as well as a single/dual motor switch that I can press and go added distances. I weigh 150 pounds as well as I try and not use big hills if I want more range - it's all a compromise - go fast less distance, go slow more distance.
@@MrLou345 dampener but why it need one?
@@guyfawkesMcCool The dampers are built into the steering column and are state-of-the-art.
I have a ? There's LED lights missing off the neck Is that an option..And is that the standard color
LED's are an option. I don't like all of that nonsense as it doesn't make the scooter go any faster. Yes, mine is the standard color.
Thank you. I have a Dualtron x2 that I had 3 years now I'm getting a weped sonic
How long did it take to be delivered?
@@user-ig8ef2ys8v 10 days from Korea to my house via FedEx. The batteries come separate, usually first.
@@user-ig8ef2ys8v Cool.
Nice video! How was the shipping process? Did you have alot of fees importing it? Did it come straight to your home?
Thanks for your comments. The shipment came FedEx right to my front door in about 10 days. Most of that was clearing customs (5 days). The customs fee was $65. Shipping is included in the price worldwide.
@@MrLou345 Oh cool! I'm about to order an E-chromenight bike and I'm not sure what fees or issues I might run into being from overseas. Did you go through a US dealer or straight from manufacturer?
I ordered it directly from WEPED in Korea, I didn't use a dealer. It was in my house in 10 days from Korea. 5 days in customs and then the rest to get to my home. The customs fee was cheap, just $65. there were no other fees or taxes.
@@MrLou345 Thank you so much for the responses. I just wanted to get some knowledge on this before I went through with it. Did you know ahead of time about the customs fee and was it a separate charge? .. I apologize for so many questions 😅
@@brandonkasten Yes the customs fee is charged by FedEx believe it or not. I didn't know ahead of time. You get billed about two weeks after the delivery of the scooter.
Did you have a vespa and add tons mirrors,add every silly add on, looks like you got carried away ticking all the options boxes 😂
🔥🔥🔥😀😊👍
I want one we’re can I go to buy this????How much did it cost???????
It was $15,700. You can go on the WEPED site and order one.
but is it water proof?
No, it has no IP rating and that's ok with me, as I think riding one in the rain is crazy anyway.
It's a standing Motorcycle!!!!
Yes it is lol
Why didn't you opt for the SONIC S EXPANDER? It's two vehicles in one
If you are going to sit down and ride you might as well get a motorcycle IMO. The beauty of a scooter is standing up and riding!!
Correct 👍
Can you bring this on New Jersey transit?
Most differently not!! Aside from the 400 pounds it weighs and how large it is, I don't think they will let you...
@@MrLou345 I know, just kidding
👍🏼👍🏼🚀
Thay is really nice scooter but it surprised me to see the cheap ingnition key.
Hope you could do a range test without the external battery
Unfortunately I have no plans to remove the external battery.
Do you have any idea if this scooter has an IPX rating?
@@eblopez1288 It does not.
I just ordered one. $21,412.93
The cost doesn't matter as I just wanted it so badly. I had tried one in South Korea when I was visiting a friend and now I have to have it lol.
Congrats!! You will really like it when you get it, trust me, they are a lot of fun and really fast!!
21k for a SCOOTER? You are insane, I love it 👍
Every year will drop 5K in new price as technology progresses
@@wileecoyote5749 I don't think so. It's $5k to ship it from Korea alone and that's the only place they are manufactured. That's why the prices are so expensive because they include shipping by FedEx. The Sonic weights 400 pounds with the batteries. Just look at my unboxing video to see the size of the crate and then you will understand it all.
@@wileecoyote5749The 3 years old Weped FS are still as expensive today as they were back then bud.

How we can avail here in the Philippines??
They are now in the USA in Seattle Washington they have brought that company over here now so people don't have to come as far to get them
Not really. I know James Kim personally WEPED NA and he backed out of that deal. Maybe his son will take over but I'm not sure.
Can you tell the price please
Sure, it was $15,700.
8.4 thousand kilowatts? that's 8.4 megawatts, which is the consumption of several thousand homes. what's the actual capacity and power output of this scooter?
Bonjour tu as un monstre entre les mains le pied a conduire merci
How much did that set you back $15,000?
Yes, you are correct.
have you been pulled over by cops? Is it legal to cruise with no license?
No, I have never been stopped by the cops, however, I never ride on streets where they are not allowed. In Los Angeles where I live, you can ride them only on streets with bike lanes OR, paved bike paths, where 'I ride all the time on and that's where my videos are taken. Every state in the U.S. is different and even in the same state, laws can be different in different cities. It's crazy to keep up with it all the time. One thing you can't do regardless of what state your in is ride on highways like the Korean videos that WEPED puts out. That will get your scooter confiscated and fined.
@@MrLou345 100% Like you I've watched my share of those Korean WEPED videos and it looks super fun but it's not a reality here in the states to flex em like that. Thank you for your informative video!
@@cocoabiscuits Yep, I agree, thank you...
At this point can it be considered a scooter? This has to be registered with the amount of speed this thing is capable of.
I just wish that were true because I would love riding it on the streets, but they are only allowed on bike paths and in bike lanes, which we have very little of where I live.
Does it do well in the rain?
No, it's not IP rated, so you can't use it in the rain.
@@MrLou345so if it starts raining while you’re using it, it’s toast?
I never ride it in the rain but yes, it would be toast if it was a downpour, a drizzle not so much.
@@MrLou345 man that sucks, I live in a place where it starts raining out of nowhere.
@@lasfinezt Then this scooter is not for you. It's expensive and to easy for it to be totaled in rain.
Wow ..... the weight is more than my 1-liter Ninja.
Yeah, but it's basically a stand-up motorcycle that can go 100mph.
Absolutely wonderful, very expensive, I think, more than $5,000
Yes, it was $15,000.
