VoroMotors have unveiled a new version of the RoadRunner electric scooter. The RoadRunner Pro is the culmination of some serious improvements on the initial model. The RoadRunner Pro can reach a speed of 51mph (82km/h).
The RoadRunner was a seated e-scooter that has a top speed of 34mph (~55km/h) but looked almost like a toy. The RoadRunner Pro is an enhanced version of the RoadRunner. Its looks, like its predecessor, belie its capacity. It is a significantly upgraded version of the Emove RoadRunner but retains some features. It still has an all-wheel drive but with dual 2,000W motors. The two motors help to generate the power that yields the top speed of 51mph. The 14-inch wheels, however, seem not to be large enough for a rider to move at such high speed.
The RoadRunner Pro has a pair of dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes and offers solid control when you want to stop. It also has a dual suspension system, with a hydraulic suspension fork at the front and dual coilover shocks at the rear. The rear suspension system is a key upgrade over the Emove RoadRunner.
The RoadRunner Pro comes with a bigger battery than its predecessor. It has a 60V/ 30Ah that offers 1,800Wh of power. The battery uses the 21700-format battery cells and gives the RoadRunner Pro a range of about 80km. The battery capacity of the e-scooter is among the highest in the class of light electric scooters. An updated twist throttle and a new full-color TFT VoroMotors display are also present in the new e-scooter. The rider can view the battery status, speed, temperature, ride mode, and other ride parameters on the 3.5-inch TFT display.
The 14-inch tubeless pneumatic tires of the RoadRunner Pro are more effective than the traditional bicycle or scooter wheels. This means that the RoadRunner Pro e-scooter requires less maintenance and provides an overall improved user experience. The e-scooter has a more comfortable and larger saddle, wrapped in wear-resistant and heat-resistant material. The scooter weighs 52 kg which is not the lightest but still good.
The RoadRunner Pro is now on sale and retails for $2,895. VoroMotors say the affordable price of the RoadRunner Pro was due to the company’s ability to self-develop the scooter. The model is expected to catch the attention of the market quickly due to its impressive parameters and decent price.
