Video of scooter reaching 100 km/h on famous Brazilian city road goes viral and exposes illegal use (Instagram @matheus_rayk)
A video showing a man riding an electric scooter at 100 km/h on a famous public road in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, has gone viral on social media.
The footage draws attention for its extreme speed and the fact that the rider is keeping up with heavy car traffic on an expressway. The post was made by Matheus Rayk, an electric vehicle technician and digital influencer who regularly shares content about modified and high-performance scooters, as well as participating in industry competitions.
The model used, a Dualtron Thunder 3 from South Korean manufacturer Minimotors, is among the most powerful on the market. With two motors totaling 11,000W of peak power, the scooter can exceed 100 km/h and travel up to 170 km on a single charge. Valued at around USD 6,214, the vehicle features sporting and structural characteristics that set it apart from common urban scooters, such as hydraulic suspension, powerful brakes, and wide tires.
Despite its technological appeal, using the Thunder 3 on public roads raises legal concerns. In São Paulo, electric scooters are limited to 20 km/h and must operate on bike lanes or roads with speed limits up to 40 km/h. Models like this one, with high power and speed, may be classified as mopeds, which would require documentation, a driver’s license, and the use of safety equipment.
Riding a scooter of this scale on public roads without meeting legal requirements can result in fines and vehicle seizure.
