Solar Hyperion Review – A Portable Hyper Scooter

Solar has made fast electric scooters before, but they’ve never made a real hyper scooter – the kind of electric scooter that could compete with scooters like the Kaabo Wolf King GTR, Teewing Mars XTR, RoadRunner RX7, Inmotion RS Midnight, and other high-performance vehicles. Until now. Meet the Solar Hyperion. 

How does it stack up against the competition? When it comes to max speed, range, acceleration, and other metrics, the Hyperion comes out right where it should for the money. It doesn’t quite hit that promised top speed of 65 mph, but that’s never really what I’m most excited about.

The Solar Hyperion has a huge battery with 40 amp hours, 73 Volts, and reliable Samsung cells. It’s also got two big motors with a combined peak power of 9,340 Watts. To handle all that power on the road, the Hyperion rides on 11-inch knobby or street tires, your choice, and a fully adjustable hydraulic suspension system.

It’s got all the right specs. But the problem with big scooters is that their weight and bulk can make them difficult to live with. Hyper scooters are hard to transport, and they don’t always corner as well as smaller scooters. The Hyperion, on the other hand, remains relatively nimble for its size, while accommodating riders of all kinds.

Despite being way more portable than some of the bigger scooters, the Solar Hyperion is actually super roomy. The deck is 22 and a half inches long and 10 inches wide. It’s one of the roomiest out there, and one of the longest decks we’ve seen.

This scooter’s great for sport riding and touring, with long range and supreme ride quality. The bars are very tall, at 41 and three quarters inches, and they’re also very wide. I find it comfortable, and I’m five foot 10, 165 pounds. But because of the adjustable suspension and the huge deck, the Hyperion can suit riders of almost any size and shape, up to its 330 pound weight limit, for sporty longer rides.
