In this video we will take a deep dive into the ‪@VoroMotors‬ eMove Roadrunner! It is a small scooter, Ebike or minibike - we don't really know as it is hard to categorize it! What we definitely could find out though is the performance, quality and practicality aspects of this machine. I know it's a long video, but if you want to have a full picture of the eMove Roadrunner then you have to watch it til the end!
Big thanks to ‪@monocat.1011‬ for both help in recording and thumbnail! Thanks to Jacek Mrozkiewicz as well for the help with recording some footage!

Don't worry, you're not imagining things. I confirmed with two Roadrunner owners here in Seattle. They both have the same stem wobble coming from the forks. They say it's a fun little machine but that it doesn't feel safe over 25mph. I think the fact that Rion removed the 'feature' from their custom Roadrunner should be proof enough.😉

@Goodman-4525 2 года назад

That fork costs less than 100 bucks I would NOT go 50mph on that in a thousand years lol

@santiagovasquez1404 Год назад

i know but the scooter is cheap 1700 usa the rion version is 4500 usa. and all rion machine do not have suspension they want you to know the road theres real killer power under your seatkno

@hellavisionsmellavision Год назад

My friend took the stock fork off his and made it non suspension

@k9teamzagrebskolazapse149 Год назад

@@Goodman-4525 less that is MTB fork for entery level MTB it can flex and in side of that fork is one spring and litle oil . And after 500km that fork is for garbage . And air fork is only proper way or stiff fork but then is too stiff. I realy don't like it and I don't know why is so much pricy for 2,000€ you can buy good and proper scooter. F fir half of it you can buy Vsett 8

@curtflirt2 2 года назад

Very honest Review, appreciated!

@Bigheadedwon Год назад

Solid review, the couple of others I watched basically didn't even mention any of the issues you brought up. But it seems like if you replaced the front forks that would fix what you had the main gripes with. Not sure if there's anything else in the $1400 range that would be much better. Everything in the price range will have some quirks and possible quality issues.

@deuxexmachina8736 Год назад

Thanks for your honest, in-depth reviews! I had an Emove Touring scooter (gen 2) which also had endemic front end play, from the poorly designed folding mechanism and absurdly cheap fork. In their rush to sell new products, Voromotors seems to have a "good enough" approach to their scooters. Instead of pursuing excellence in products and customer experience, they must put resources primarily into marketing. When my Touring motor seized up on a modest hill, they replaced it under warranty. But instead of wiring the new motor to the controller, Voromotors' technician simply CUT the motor power cable outside the deck and SPLICED in a new motor. This exposed 48 volt cable splice was "protected" by a couple wraps of electrical tape! As your review shows, Emove's attention to detail is still lacking.

Hi, I've been doing a fair bit of research and reading reviews as I'm looking at getting one. Your review is a rarity in that it was refreshingly honest. Which E-Minibike would you recommend? I will mainly use for commuting to and from work (about 5ks each way) and the odd weekend ride to the park. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

@pevns 2 года назад

they look cool to have in the fleet...but not as an everyday ride. would be cool for something different to ride for fun once in a while, but wouldn't be my first purchase. I like esg reviews but they all go the same way: this scooter is awesome, buy it now!... so it's good we've got dudes who give their honest truths and not constant praise and product pushing. wrongway does the rightway.

Helllo mate, I would just like to ask a question... I got my little pocket rocket Roadrunner the other day and for some reason it's bouncing and handlebars are vibrating when going over like 28 miles per hr. Does your one do that and if so how can it be avoided? Thank you and appreciate your response.

@Salamander407 2 года назад

Yes, the lack of rear suspension and the seat can be a killer. And I don't go over 27 on it, too scary, but FUN AS ALL!!!

@JamiePineappleWyatt Год назад

Dynavolts are usually 2600mah 7a max discharge cells, 18650. They're also in most dragon branded scooters. They're fine, not the best, they last a fair few cycles, and hold capacity fairly well too. I came across a spec sheet once, half of it looked fake as all hell, I had to scour alibaba databases to find it.

5:12 I did this on my min e-bike but went right over the handle bars and hit the pavement lol I think the 14" tires are too small, I kinda wish I got a larger bike just because larger tires seem to make the ride safer? I do really like the dual motor on the VoroMotors bike here, I'd like to try them out sometime! The one I have is a similar design but different brand and not as fast or as easy to control. I was just out ridding with it tonight and had my gopro 360 so I may upload a video on it in the next few days

A friend had one of these arrive with locked front forks. They had no movement and no suspension... after weeks of hassling with the manufacturer they eventually sent a set with suspension... very odd. The seat definitely needs work to be comfier.

@hillclayj Год назад

I totally agree with ALL the shortcomings that you mentioned on this RoadRunner. For me personally, Voro's lack of transparency on the exAct specs of the mOst impOrtant component of aNy E-vehicle, THE BATTERY, is the mAin deal-breaker for me... I was really interested in this model and the Emove Cruiser, but I just get turned off when a company is not transparent enough... BATTERY QUALITY is sO critical, and should never be compromised... I want to be able to have "peace of mind" when storing an Electric vehicle in my home or vehicle....especially with my 2 kids around...

That's not quite correct about Dualtron. The display starts flashing to warn you of low voltage before you get cutoff. It's not the same as the controller limiting the current at low voltage, that would be nice... but i find there is plenty of warning.

@mr.chrissanchez6859 2 года назад

@ldscooterrider I'm 5'4, 160 pounds on a smooth flat surface I have went about 34mph. When it's a nice clear street the ride is very nice and even the seat doesn't feel that bad. But eventually if you hit some small potholes you're going to pay! Hurts alot on your balls. For long rides I use a memory foam square I put right on top of the seat and it's a game changer. When you press the "I" button it turns on dual motors and it is also very nice against some pretty steep hills. I was impressed. After about an hour you do feel some cramps in your knees. I'm a short guy that's pushing the speed limit of the RR and I can feel it. It's one of the most fun machines I've ever ridden. A little bit pricey but very effective toy. The thumb throttle is very comfortable. I have never got into an accident but I will say the brakes could be a little bit better. At high speeds i expect a better stopping period.
