RS5 PRO Electric Scooter

I’ve had a basic 500W scooter before this about a year ago and this thing is just a godsend. Shipment was quick even with the holiday and upon opening the box I was in shock. It’s a pretty big scooter but I also weigh 250lbs and am 6’3 so it fits me perfectly. Getting it up and down the steps can be a little troublesome because of the weight but it’s not that bad after getting used to doing it. 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.

After about a week with the new Roadrunner RS5 2.0 I have to say I have had zero issues or complaints. Apart from the size and weight, it makes up for itself with comfort and distance. I travel to work about 20 minutes ride each way with gravel roads, asphalt streets, and bike trails. The suspension may seem firm at first but after a while you break in the hydraulic springs and feel very few bumps. On the topic of charging, I haven’t had to charge this scooter in four days when using first gear. When it comes to torque going up hills, I was skeptical but quickly found out it has absolutely no decrease in cruising speed when you hit a 25 degree slope.

The bright lights and solid build design really shows with the price you pay for performance and quality.

Overall this scooter is a must buy for long range and all terrain traveling! Have not thought about buying another kind since.

Before buying I considered several options, and ended up going with the RS5 from RR because of the removable battery, good turn signals and back light, tubeless tires, hill climbing power, speed capable of matching cars on suburban streets, and the US based brand with responsive customer service. With a scooter this heavy it's a significant advantage to have a removable battery. I chose the RS5, and I like that at a later date I could get a second battery to upgrade it to the RS5+ and not only have a longer range from 1 battery but have the ability to swap and extend the range. Now for a few things that could be improved. The multi-tool it comes with is to short/bulky to be able to get into the areas to tighten screws, be prepared to get your own set of long hex wrenches and adjustable cresent wrench(found at my local hardware store). I'd really like for this scooter to have traction control, and also a higher IP water rating so I don't have to stress about random weather changes and can at least ride it slowly to the train if it happens to start raining(Lime scooters can do this) also other scoots on that market have up to an IPX6 water resistance rating(so it is possible). The front headlight could also be improved a lot if it had more spill/wasn't such a narrow beam. The cords by the handlebars are very tight, I'd like more slack to be able to upgrade it to some folding bike handlebars, also the current handlebar is tapered and bent with very minimal room for accessories…
