When people tell me you could buy a car for that money I always say... "No You Cannot". Plain and simple. #1- Gas #2- Registration #3- Insurance #4- Extensive Maintenence (especially for a 4-5k car) #5- Parking and tickets #6- Excise Taxes I'm sure there is more. For my veteran sherman I paid around 3k almost 2 years ago and that's it. The amount of stress I don't have to deal with is amazing.
@@fishingstix610 Absolutely. I ride it all year round in Boston. In the winter you just ride slower and wear a heated jacket. I've gone through 2 winters so far and it's been great.
@@jamesbarry2388 I live in Boston which can get below 0 in the winter and I'd much rather ride my euc to work than a car. It's the only fresh air you get all winter. With heated clothes it's comfortable. Whether it sucks or not is your opinion.
Great job guys. I almost beat you guys to the punch with a review of my own of the Tronic Roadrunner. Hopefully, I'll soon be sharing my thoughts about this amazing machine.
With the gas prices at where they are these days, a years worth of gas and you would have payed more for the fuel than the car or motorcycle that cost 4k(less for the motorcycle but still very expensive for gas right now).
Looks like good quality but I'm going to wait for something that's more not resembling a midget bike. It would be tough to take jumps and land them on that especially if you're bigger.
Yeah you could buy a USED car or a starter motorcycle BUT... lots of maintenance costs(oil, tires, brakes, fluids, etc) for that car, insurance, smog check BS here in Kalifornistan, registration, expensive breakdown repairs (transmission, CV joints on an older civic, blah blah..) finding SAFE parking, various ticketing schemes(Kali), etc.. And you still haven't bought gasoline yet. Then after spending all that money... you still have crime and traffic to screw up your day.
Have you thought about making a video with an update for InMotion Electric Scooter? Recently there have been few updates for S1 that have fixed issues like lag when pushing acceleration button, so it might be worth considering. I'm currently between S1 and Ninebot Max, so it would really help out to get some info how it's going after a year and a half. :)
As cool as this is, I'm just thinking of all the mods you could do to a super 73 for the same money and get a similar too speed with more comfort and practicality
Correct me if I'm wrong but mopeds are considered motorcycles if they are over 50cc's. Where is the line being drawn between an electric scooter and a motor vehicle that needs to be licensed?
If the Roadrunner tronic had kept the headlights, turn signals, display screen and had the exact same seat the Roadrunner pro has and cut the price down to $1,000 maybe I would be interested in that.
Imagine spenidng 5k on one of these and then pulling up next to a Ninja or R1 that you could of had for the money. That gotta be like owning a chrysler 300 and pulling up next to a phantom.
@@thesolojourney8955 Thats a interesting point but with the electric cars there, A. faster then most average cars and B no gas. I only put like $50/month in my R1 driving it almost daily. So for motorcycles it doesnt make a lot of sense does it, because gas was never a problem, these motors are super efficiant and adding more batteries for power weighs the e.bike down and then your missing the power to weight ratio. Motorcycles are currently so much better then what you get for the $$
3:18 Gotta be critical here... instead of building your own, "you can buy it from voro and have the whole package ready to go" -- except you'll want to replace the cheap suspension that pictured here -- looks exactly the same as the suspension people complain about on the Roadrunner. Oh and perhaps add a screen since that doesn't come with the 5,000 dollar one. Oh, and probably make the wheels bigger -- not smaller -- since you'll be going faster. Idk what to say about the throttle -- it doesn't seem like something I'd like more than a traditional thumb throttle. The Roadrunner is somewhat appealing to me but the notorious problems they seem to have turn me off. You'd think with the 5,000 dollar one, they might have gone with more quality components... but I get it. Get the money from the people who want the faster one because they have to have the fastest one, and, you don't really need to worry about quality. If you're thinking about buying an electric bike for 5,000 that looks more like a toy than a practical means of transportation, but want a practical means of transportation/something fun, I'd recommend doing what I did and buy something like a Ninja 1000cc that's hardly broken in with the exact same money. It'll last way longer, won't have tons of problems essentially immediately and will be worth far more than an old broken scooter will in a few years.
I keep askin because the viewers would love to see which is a better bike/scooter and not sure if Voro motors are sponsoring the videos but I hit up voro to try to buy the Tronic and even though it’s “Available for pick up” they don’t even have any made, so I asked few questions and got ignored, so their customer service seems to be 50/50…That’s why I wonder if Alien Rides may be a better option unless they ignore customers as well..
Works electric scooter premium hand built please review also Ristretto FS Electric bike looks to be awesome would love to see you guys review one and one more thing can you please see if you can verify if Suru Cycles is still in business and have you ever seen one or used one? They look to be interesting and we'll built.
Very cool but looks a bit too small IMO, I’m sure it’s a blast to rip around on tho. What I would give for the curve throttle and tronic controllers in my Dualtron Achilleus!
Sounds like fiido hate why would this be cheaper to get than an upgraded fiido wouldnt it cost the same sense it uses the same parts? Genunienly confused
What's the legality of this thing in Washington/California? Without the pedals aren't these completely illegal and you can't register them because of the size?
