@@andygreat423 I think the mavic 2 pro can get just as good footage, if not better if it's being piloted. I think the AI of the mavic is not quite there yet to autofollow, but I'm hoping DJI works on this for future models.
@@AlienRides It sure shows!!! Just watching this drone footage I got right into it as though I was there. Really cool!!! Thx once again for the awesome piece. 🖖🛸🛴
Thanks for stopping by, you're right on about the helmet! Actually it was their first mercury helmet I guess, haven't tried the 2.0 yet. I'm wearing an XL. 👽🖖
If the beacon works as expected, I do think it’s super useful to have, since you can be a lot more confident when doing action sports. Unfortunately mine has some issues where it didnt work Elsa expected, or return to the beacon. I’m not sure what happened, and I’m hoping that gets better in time with software updates.
@@christopherjimenezcabezas4773 Range varies a lot based on model and speed. This model is probably about 30-40 miles, but some scooters can be double that (but slower).
Fun group meet up! Is the Rion super hard to control the throttle? Looked pretty jerky to you but I wasn't sure if it was just because you were trying to keep an eye on the drone or it's hard to control at slower speeds? Seriously considering their "cheap" model. Thanks!
The Rion is an awesome scooter for sure, but it’s not meant for comfort, it’s meant for high speed racing, and has amazing acceleration. It’s definitely jerky due to the power, but a “holy shit this is awesome” jerky feeling. You can also get better at slow acceleration with it with practice, I just don’t practice that often on it.
@@AlienRides same. I absolutely love electric vehicles, but nothing compares to electric scooters. I currently have a Razor E Prime III, and hope to upgrade to a Rion in 3 years. Can’t wait until then!
Nice video mate.... you know looking back at what I've spent and the number of scooters I've bought and sold looking for the "right" scooter, I think maybe I should have just been patient and just bought the Rion and Weped GT50E...
Hard to say, turns out whenever you buy something, a new thing comes out the very next month that's better 😅 Just have to jump in at some point and not worry about it too much. Rion and Weped both have new models coming out in the future, excited to see what they come out with.
I appreciate the comments, so thanks for that :) It's a beautiful climb to the top of this area for sure with San Francisco in the background. I'm super lucky to be able to do it every week. If you're interested in the rion, you can find them at: wearerion.com
Smooth cool video, so is the Rion your main scooter now ? How did the Skydio keep up with the speed or did you go slower for it ? Many thanks Ray K. UK. YNWA.
I was borrowing this unit. I have a Rion in order, but I don’t have it yet. I think that the Rion will be my primary ride when I get it because it’s so fun. The skydio will only go 36 mph, so it’s very easy to outrun it on the Rion. Mainly just made this for cinematic footage though and wasn’t trying to lose it. 👽🖖
I think it handles really well downtown. There’s no regulation, except you can’t fly over people or cars, which is pretty much impossible to abide by during the day. Maybe I can take it out for a downtown sunrise ride one day.
I'm thinking of ordering the new RE60 but I don't know if it will suit my needs.. I want to be able to go 13 miles with spirited driving. Not all out, but fast enough to be fun. One caveat, the route in is flowy with hills and has an average elevation gain of 750ft so it's a heavy drain situation. I wonder if the 21ah battery will make it..
I believe 13 miles should be totally fine! Note this is a 1,428 watt hour battery, it's not that small. For reference, on my Mantis range test I got 15 miles or so and it has a 930 watt hour battery. I would expect at least 22 miles of range at high speeds with this scooter, potentially more. I'll do a range test in the future to find out for sure though!
Hah, thanks. I don't always use it because it's not so good for vlogging, so you'll probably still see me in the helmet you hate :-p I'll replace it soon though.
It's definitely possible, but technically you're not supposed to fly over cars or people. So might have to do it on an early sunrise or something, not sure. I'll give it a shot one day.
I was wondering but do you think Rion will have plans to make bigger scooters because if they do I’ll so buy one.☺️ To me safety wise I’d rather have heavier a scooter that can go fast than have a very light one go fast but that’s just me. It would be awesome if you mentioned that to them if you get chance.😁
I'm sure they're aware of these requests :) I think they'll be making some modifications in the near future, but I don't think they're going to be making a machine that's substantially heavier for quite some time. Besides that, there's going to be an upcoming Rion and Weped partnership that could be quite cool. Stay tuned for that :)
Alien Rides Oh that’s fine if they don’t have heavier ones right now but if there is ideas to make them bigger in the future that gives me hope and I’m so willing to wait.😃That’s interesting to know about that partnership. What is funny it is more like a Rion, WEPED, and Minimotors partnership😂. I am aware John from Minimotors is also the WEPED dealer as well. Since one time I contacted WEPED from Korea gave me his email.😂 Unless it is the actually WEPED from Korea is doing partnering up with Rion. That would be so awesome.☺️
I didn’t have a chance to go to top speed, but under maximum acceleration you can easily lose the Skydio. I lost it a few times this day, but only left one in the video. Overall it’s a lovely drone, for what I do a few more mph would be awesome.
I’m sure they are! I think they have a solid base with active track, but haves long way to go to catch up with skydio. I hope they do though, competition is a great thing for all of us.
andygreat423 it’s against to law to fly over moving cars and people and the FAA well be looking at people who do so it’s quite a big fine. I have my 107 that’s who I know this. Its a good rule a should be enforced it the drone hits a moving car people could be killed same with a person walking. I don’t want to be jerk but you need to follow the rules. It is very nice footage
Operating your drone over the road like that is irresponsible and highly illegal. Skydio is very clear on this. You also have no independent control over the drone as you are also operating another vehicle at the same time. Not safe at all. Part 107 here.
Thanks for the feedback, generally this road is pretty empty, and I thought it was ok as long as there were no cars? Turns out there were some though, so we'll have to find a new place. I'll look into the rules here more. I'm not sure independent control is important, since skydio created a car follow mode and all. If you can point me to some laws around independent control that would be great.
Alien Rides I’m a huge fan of Skydio and drones in general. So I’m aware that we all need to help protect the industry otherwise it will just get locked down by the government. I also used to live where you were riding. It’s a public road. Otherwise, yes, it is beautiful footage!
Lon Denard 😆 Officer Bunghole! Funny! If you don’t like the FAA rules, talk to them. As US drone pilots, we’re all in this together and will all suffer if the rules change. Just because a person lives in a metropolitan environment that doesn’t give them the right to break laws. And as a Part 107 license holder I’m involved in this industry and therefore have a legitimate say in the matter.
👀 Nice eyes! Yeah, it was a little jolt from that dirt patch. It's definitely an awesome racing machine. If you want an off-road beast, another brand is better.
i would keep this drone on the front just so i don't have to turn around to see if its still with me u know andrew brov...just a thought..man this scooter is very nice...me like it...
Yeah, both the drone and scooter are awesome. Putting the drone in front is fun, but it very quickly has to turn around and follow you in that case, the acceleration is just not quite there yet.
Great footage but flying over people and cars, not so much. Personally, I would have thought twice about posting something like this and definitely would not appreciate a drone going over my head or my car.
I could go slower. I could also go faster, but then I would lose the drone much more frequently, and I lost it once or twice this day already at these speeds :-/ Hopefully the drone is faster in the future!
@@AlienRides Alien can't catch a break, he puts out a fast video and people complain. Then if he rides at normal safe speeds, people complain haha. Great video as always!
No front and rear lights? no long mud guards? you can’t ride it in wet weather, much less get in the rain? is he afraid of water? Is Rion for dry weather racing?
It does have rear suspension, but it's built to always feel the road. It's an awesome racing for sure. The Dualtron X for example does have a super awesome bouncy suspension, but not sure I'd be comfortable at high speeds (80 mph) on that.
2:14 I loved that scene where you can see so much bikes, scooters, unicycle all in one spot cheering at the camera.
Awesome video Kev, looks amazing!
We can only make these amazing videos thanks to the amazing scooter you build. 👏

Unfortunately mine has some issues where it didnt work Elsa expected, or return to the beacon. I’m not sure what happened, and I’m hoping that gets better in time with software updates.

Where you can get the Skydio 2? You didn’t list it.
skydio.com - it's a great drone, but there's a long waitlist now unfortunately.
Did you enhance the colors it so pleasing?
The HDR camera does a pretty good job on its own, but I tweak the colors a small amount add some contrast.
@@AlienRides 👍
We're you going full speed on the rion when the drone was chasing you?
I didn’t have a chance to go to top speed, but under maximum acceleration you can easily lose the Skydio. I lost it a few times this day, but only left one in the video. Overall it’s a lovely drone, for what I do a few more mph would be awesome.
I'm sure in future firmware releases it will be capable of faster automatic speeds
Kevin Graehl yeah, that would totally be awesome. By then of course I’m sure our electric toys will be even faster though! 😅
Would be awesome if LIVE FEED is an option on skydio.. so live feed to your Facebook page or RUclips channel
Streaming Skydio footage would be amazing for sure. I imagine we will see something like that in future generations of drones!
Afeez Kay P4 can live stream
DJI must be scrambling right now :)
I’m sure they are! I think they have a solid base with active track, but haves long way to go to catch up with skydio. I hope they do though, competition is a great thing for all of us.
How much does this BEAST COST??? Great video!!!
looks like real ride. youre afraid of cars, looking back and sides. when I see rides without it - no believe in our reality))
Hah, possibly because I don't want the drone to run into them, or get runover too. But maybe it's not as cool looking 😅
@@AlienRides no, its "looking real". because in real life safety is the main goal))
Cool stuff, are you allowed to fly over moving vehicles
Nope, can't fly over vehicles, and flying over those was a mistake on my part. Will try to avoid that in the future.

No front and rear lights? no long mud guards? you can’t ride it in wet weather, much less get in the rain? is he afraid of water? Is Rion for dry weather racing?
The Rion is purpose made for going fast on dry/good roads. You can do some basic trails and things like that, but it shines as a fast road racer.
Is there a suspension?
It does have rear suspension, but it's built to always feel the road. It's an awesome racing for sure. The Dualtron X for example does have a super awesome bouncy suspension, but not sure I'd be comfortable at high speeds (80 mph) on that.
