RS5 Review: “This electric scooter is INSANE!”
Raving Reviews
"Quality build, fast, smooth power delivery, great looks, great brakes, removable battery, clean battery compartment, good suspension."
"This was definitely designed by 🇺🇸 US standards, the quality stands out way above the foreign competitors. Very smooth and controlled ride. I would like to see a manufacture date stamp into the batteries. Outstanding scooter. I give it a 10"
“The original RS5 was a good scooter,” our tester Mitchell says. “But the upgraded Pro and Max models are truly competitive with my favorite scooters at this price.”
The suspension and speed is just amazing though. I was shocked how fast it picks up speed and it does hit 50mph as advertised depending on what level of ground you’re on. I’m definitely going to invest in a secondary charger and battery in the future. I would highly recommend this scooter compared to a lot of other companies out there.
My first ride took me by surprise at how quickly it took off from a stand still. This thing is FAST! Definitely need a helmet at all times, additional protective gear is probably a good idea too. I topped out at around 45mph but it honestly feels like you're going 100mph! I highly recommend the RoadRunner RS5, it's a great value, offers premium quality and a sleek design.

The safety of any electric scooter is dependent on its components, especially the battery. We only work with suppliers that adhere to minimum product safety standards. Our batteries are either from Korean manufactures like LG and Samsung or Chinese cells that have undergone rigorous testing and/or have proven reliable over time.
Each scooter has its own capabilities and limitations - please read the manual before use and start slowly. Always wear protective gear like helmets, knee/elbow pads and wrist guards.
- What is a steering damper on an electric scooter? A steering damper, also known as a steering stabilizer, is a device designed to reduce unwanted vibrations and oscillations in the handlebars of an electric scooter. It enhances stability and control by minimizing the impact of road irregularities and sudden movements on the scooter's steering.
- Why do electric scooters need a steering damper? Electric scooters, like other two-wheeled vehicles, can be affected by factors such as road imperfections, wind gusts, and sudden maneuvers. A steering damper helps dampen these external forces, providing a smoother and more controlled riding experience.
- How does a steering damper work? A steering damper operates by using hydraulic or mechanical means to absorb and dissipate excessive forces that can lead to unwanted handlebar movements. It acts as a buffer between the handlebars and the scooter's frame, reducing the impact of shocks and vibrations.
- What are the benefits of having a steering damper on an electric scooter?
- Improved Stability: Reduces wobbling and instability caused by road conditions or sudden maneuvers.
- Enhanced Control: Minimizes handlebar kickback and promotes smoother steering response.
- Increased Safety: Helps prevent speed wobbles and improves overall rider confidence.
Here is a manual on how to install a steering damper on the RS5.
