Glion Electric Scooter Model 215 Review - $849 Affordable, Practical, Professional

[@Mazxlol]

omg i have this scooter! i bought the very first original model i believe. The one that doesnt have lights and has a pin to fold it in half. love this scooter! i've been riding it for like 2 years and it still works well

[@ElectricRideReview]

Nice! That's awesome to hear. I enjoyed reviewing it quite a bit.

[@Mazxlol]

First model was $700 instead of 850. It did not have headlight and quick release. Instead of quick release it had a pin which you had to manually use to lock it in place but once it was locked there was no way it could randomly unfold on its own. Otherwise looks the same. Good review, i agree on the half a second delay on the throttle, kinda annoying.

[@thetouch315]

Im worried about speed. Says max is 15 but when i rented 17 was my average. Does it go faster downhill?

[@JaRhule]

@KT yep! I just ordered one. Cant wait til it arrives!

[@jasontomica8938]

How many miles do u have total on it

[@mroberts112]

great review. I totally agree. the dolly aspect of the scooter is arguably its biggest strength. I don't know why more scooter manufacturers realize that they need better ways to move the scooters around when you are not riding them. This one is a perfect last mile solution for business people.

[@arj6461]

Some have already done it. I tested the Speedway Mini 4 pro a while back and to my surprise it had the same function :)

[@yonihales9133]

I have this exact same one, I bought it at the Goodwill for $80 Holly Crap I did not know they were $849! Thanks for the vid I coundnt figure out how to fold !

[@dduem13]

Holy shit, where is that Goodwill? Lol

[@yonihales9133]

dduem13 frequent them I find at least 1 huge score a month like the scooter I got a month ago that honestly just sits around after riding it for a week, glad I only spent 80 on it lol

[@MikeSpille]

Thanks for the comprehensive review!

[@lexibakergirl2422]

More control when braking is the main safety improvement needed. Q : When batts are dead - do the wheels ' free wheel ' - can you coast and kick it home if the batteries die ?

[@Berzrk-Z]

yes, you can coast and kick no problem

[@kustomweb]

Good job, love the drone shots

[@BBBYpsi]

Down to $599 on amazon. But you can get much better scooters out there for around the same price faster & much better range with suspension. Only thing this thing has as advantage is the weight & handle to use like a suitcase. Which is a great idea. The weight thing will happen because of battery size & construction of material. I do like the tires never flat & like the guy in video rounded which does work better for turns.

[@JoeyBridman]

Do you have a list of better the better scooters for the same price, or are you just commenting nonsense?

[@jasontomica8938]

@@JoeyBridman he is commenting nonsense

[@phototristan]

This is literally the best scooter for the price on the market, with great customer service. I just wish it went about 5 miles an hour faster as it is limited to 15 mph, I think the platform can really support 20 miles an hour though. And the battery indicator is indeed accurate, you just have to read it when you’re not moving. It’s also not a heads up display.

[@ElectricRideReview]

Good point, I think this power meter is looking at voltage and that can sag when you're powering the scooter at full blast :)

[@phototristan]

Right, and also my information on that comes directly from Glion.

[@RevRides360]

For a little faster and a similar price point you can look into the ZERO 8 scooter or the ZERO 9. I would be happy to answer any questions you have.

[@Earthneedsado-over177]

It is not regenerative braking, it is just electric brakes.

[@aegisfate117]

It's not regenerative braking, it's electric braking. Glion specifically says they don't want regen braking on their products because it is likely to break.

[@aegisfate117]

plus it's $630 now

[@OnlineMediaCollection]

Most helpful video so far

[@Ace-ir2ug]

Glion is the best scooter

[@timwong6818]

It is less than 500$ now... with a fender braking and a decent (not bad) front suspension. The brake is still body-throwing. But the motor is not 250w-ish weak at all. Actually 600w peak is not worse than many scooters. (They explain that 250w is just about the power you need to get rid of the fraction when riding on a smooth and flat surface.)

[@jessaphillips2846]

this would be really great if you could use regenerative braking while pulling the scooter behind you to charge it up some...

[@markkitaoka8783]

Does anyone happen to know the voltage going to the headlight? Easy to replace with something with a better pattern and brighter.

[@blacksunaccounts]

one level of breaking? that seems like a bad idea...i also read on a top 10 site that it can not go up hills

[@Berzrk-Z]

I've not had any issues going up slight hills/inclines (6ft 215lbs and backpack). It slows down, but it doesn't quit. As for the breaking, it's definitely weird to get used to, but once i did it's fine and isn't all on or all off in my experience

[@hhbbhvvbjhbbyjj]

excellent review wow!!

[@lylehutz]

This is going for $629 now. Would you still recommend this as a great scooter for the price? I am looking for something to handle a 3 mile roundtrip commute every day.

[@Berzrk-Z]

Kevin, I just purchased this scooter (won't ship until 12 Sep) and will be using it to go from the train station to work (1mi), from work to gym at lunch (1.2mi, 2.4 round trip), and finally from work to the train station (1mi). So I'm looking at almost 6mi a day and would be happy to report back to this comment after a week or so of use if you'd like. I did hours of research and ultimately settled on this because I felt it was the best choice OVERALL for my needs, even though other scooters were better in single areas ie. speed, distance, etc. For reference, I'm 6ft 213lbs and will also be carrying my MMA bag that'll weigh roughly 8-10lbs.

[@marouchaaa]

Leonard Kelley I am looking to buy this scooter for a similar commute to yours. Any chance you could share your experience with us? Thank you!

[@Berzrk-Z]

Marwa, so I've had my Glion for a few weeks now but I'm not yet ready to rate it because I ran into an issue (of my own causing) so I haven't had a chance to really test it out. I unfortunately bent the dolly handle and it ended up being stuck; totally my fault as I forgot to retract the handle before opening the scooter up. Long story short, I reached out to Glion directly and they offered to either have me ship it back for repair (their cost) or ship me the replacement parts and instructions to fix myself. I ended up choosing to fix myself, and did so without issue. I'm going to be commuting with it all week next week, so I'd be glad to report back here afterwards if you'd like?

[@lylehutz]

Marwa Dridi I have had this now for about 3 weeks, and it has been going great. I commute about 1.2 miles each way and never have a problem with battery. I actually keep my battery at work, so I can charge before I go. The most I have done on one charge is 1.2 home, 1.5 to a school, 1.5 back. and then 1.2 to work, and it was no problem.

[@marouchaaa]

@@Berzrk-Z thank you so much for checking back! I would be morecthan interested in knowing your impressions about this scooter.

[@williamsalazar2536]

Do you know if you're going to review the Velocifero / Mototec MAD scooter? I wanna know what your opinion is on that.

[@harrvey]

Great review! 👍

[@ElectricRideReview]

Thanks!

[@steveamendola6651]

This site on going any longer?

[@laurentkm3]

Thanks for the review. Now that some time has past since you review the scooter and used it, how do you feel about the scooter now? Is it still function properly. Is it really worth it? Hope yo respond.

[@arj6461]

The glion dolly is worth its price. If you're on a budget you might check out the GXL from Gotrax recently released. A really nice scooter. Unfortunately it doesn't have the dolly feature :/

[@SRT_Daevon]

Do a review on the better bike pebl

[@vallejojc]

Which scooter do you recommend if I live in downtown LA which has some slopes.

[@RevRides360]

For LA or other hilly cities I would recommend a scooter with at least a 500W 48V motor. The ZERO 9 is a good choice. If you don't want hills to slow you down then step up to an 800W 52V motor on the ZERO 10 or ZERO 10X. All available at www.revrides.com. Let me know if you have more questions I can answer.

[@Valentineismynameorisit]

Great review! Could you please review the Inmotion Lively e-scooter? There are no reviews of it on KZbin and it has some pretty nice features that I haven't seen other scooters with, like IP65 (waterproof) rating and cruise control (albeit some other scooters have that. Thanks again!

[@splitzlol269]

I like how the title says $849 affordable

[@net200777]

Oh you still do this channel

[@billayers2190]

How do you charge the battery?

[@chrisskinner6483]

It comes with a power brick, plug into wall. Wait 3 hours

[@BenevolentXMachine]

Review the Dualtron

[@sundo-pf5zv]

Good presentation, man. Just same with most other presentations: Why make background music sooo loud? Background music theme in your video presentation is as annoying as the motor on your e-scooter! That's MY WISH for your improvement. It's exhausting to sharpen the listening skills while fighting an uphill battle against the background noise. At least riding the scooter you can put on ear plugs or a head phone to muffle the noise while riding. All else is good. I'm over 50 trying to shave some lbs off my 215 lbs frame :)

wheres the original guy?

Hi! Brent is a new guy helping to cover more scooters and interesting electric rides. This is Court (the original guy) typing, I am focusing more on Electric Bikes right now but may do some rides here and there still :)

@@ElectricRideReview Court, do you have IG?

[@senior_ranger]

Please lose the annoying bubble-gum music noise. What's the point?

[@markuzjay7466]

you have to weigh 160lbs or less so it can go for 15 miles long and if you weigh 180 or 200 then it will only go 11 miles long

[@techyin326]

Price???

[@ElectricRideReview]

Good call, that should be in the title in the future... It's also listed in the full writeup which is linked in the description. The price for the Gion Model 215 is $849

[@sundo-pf5zv]

Yeah, it's a bit of a let-down that ppl can't catch on to what's written in the words that they are reading. Time wasters. If we don't pay attention to detail then all Hell breaks lose. Hint: It's a matter of FOCUS. Even if you're a person of genius IQ you need FOCUS to avoid a messy life. GL - Good Luck to us :)

Wow 2020 and mine was $429

[@l-Lucid-l]

450$ now, can get them refurbished for 380$

"The Glion weighs in at 28 lbs, which is pretty light." HA! 28lbs is light? Nope.

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

$849 is not affordable... and it's not great for a below average speed E scooter... I would price this at $500 because it's not good enough for that price... I would pay $1,000 for a bigger and better battery and go to 30mph instead of a measly 18 which btw is very low compared to the competition. Which is at 20mph at $500 price range

[@sundo-pf5zv]

Even $1000 is too much, honest. Bigger battery: Yes, but higher speed: ABSOLUTELY NO ! for safety reasons. This design with a straight-up handle and you standing on the deck without a safety belt would cause severe head injuries for average users in an accident and would thus cause rather harm than usefulness. NOBODY is talking about safety gear when promoting this gadget. A conscientious presenter would ALWAYS raise AWARENESS to ANY listener to prevent misunderstanding the HIGH RISK that ppl expose themselves to when they start riding this vehicle.

[@DrakeShin]

didn't show us anything really, just talked about it.
