20R

RION Motors is a small, hand-build workshop based in Los Angeles, founded in the early-to-mid 2010s (commonly cited as ~2012-2014) by Chris Rion. Rion saw an unfilled niche for extreme performance in a compact personal vehicle and set out to build electric scooters the way race machines are built: carbon-fibre monocoque construction, aerospace-grade materials and dual high-drain hub motors. The RION RE90 became famous as one of the world's fastest electric scooters and the first to use that much carbon fibre — chassis, stem pole and handlebar all moulded in carbon, keeping weight remarkably low for the power on tap. The RION2 generation (RE80, RE90 and their battery-pack trims, of which the 20R is one) refined the platform with programmable dual controllers, Molicel/21700 race packs and PMT Italian slicks. Every unit is essentially made to order in LA, with long waiting lists — these are boutique hyperscooters, not mass-market commuters, and they carry prices to match.
