YUME Raptor 2:
Quick Review & Test Data
The budget hyper scooter that hit 52 mph, climbed hills without flinching, and still went 29 miles on our range loop. Here is the short version with all the raw numbers.
The YUME Raptor 2 is a budget hyper scooter, and the more we tested it, the more we liked it. For $1,500 it does things that usually cost a lot more: a tested 52 mph top speed, 0 to 40 mph in 9.80 seconds, no slowdown on hills, and 29.1 miles of real range at a hard 35 to 40 mph pace. Here is the short version with all our raw test data below. For the complete hands-on review, head over to our full YUME Raptor 2 review on RiderGuide.

The 60-Second Verdict
For $1,500, the Raptor 2 punches way above its price on the numbers that matter: range, acceleration, top speed, and turning. It hit 52 mph on the dash (rated 40), ran 0 to 40 mph in 9.80 seconds, saw no slowdown on a short aggressive hill, and went 29.1 miles at a hard 35 to 40 mph pace on a 30Ah battery. Handling is a genuine standout, with effortless deep leans and excellent low-speed balance, and two-piston hydraulic brakes stop it from 15 mph in about a second. Order the slick tires and street riding is buttery smooth. Weak points: soft suspension that bottoms out, ride settings that reset on every power-on, an NFC-key ignition, and a heavy 101.65 lb build.
Buy it if: you want the most speed, range, and features per dollar and you mostly ride the street. Skip it if: you need plush long-travel off-road suspension or a scooter light enough to carry up stairs.

YUME Raptor 2 FAQ
How fast is the YUME Raptor 2?
YUME rates it at 40 mph, but it is faster. On our top-speed run the dash climbed to 52 mph, and it will nudge 53 without much effort.
What is the real range of the YUME Raptor 2?
We measured 29.1 miles with a 210 lb rider holding a hard 35 to 40 mph the entire loop. Ride slower, use single-wheel drive, or weigh less and 40 to 50 miles is realistic. It runs a 60V 30Ah battery.
Should I get the knobby or slick tires?
For city and street riding, get the slicks. They are dramatically smoother, with near-zero vibration even above 40 mph. The knobby tires are better on loose terrain but carry more vibration on pavement.
Is the YUME Raptor 2 worth it?
If you want the most speed, range, and features per dollar and you mostly ride the street, yes. The trade-offs are soft suspension that bottoms out, ride settings that reset on each power-on, and a heavy 101.65 lb build. For $1,500, what you get is genuinely impressive.
