voromotors emove roadrunner pro scooter

The Emove RoadRunner Pro is a seated electric scooter that looks like an unassuming little runabout, but don’t let its small stature fool you. This e-scooter has the power and performance to hang with the much bigger dogs. In fact, it’s probably more than you’ll ever need, and that’s why I love it.

Here at Electrek we appreciate all electric two-wheelers, but we’ve got a bit of an extra penchant for the fast and powerful electric two-wheelers.

And that’s exactly what the Emove RoadRunner Pro is. It builds upon the original Emove Roadrunner, which topped out at a mere 36 mph, and now bumps that speed up by around 50% to hit a solid 50 mph (80 km/h).

Or at least it claims to. I noped out in the mid-40’s despite the scooter telling me that it wanted to keep going, so I have no doubt it will get up to 50 mph if you push, you’ll just have to be braver than me.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start with the specs behind this beast, which you’ll find below just after my video review. And trust me, you’ll want to watch the video on this one.

So much more than I expected

I was as guilty as most people will be when it comes to underestimating this little seated scooter. The small size makes it quite convenient (especially if you’re limited in garage space), but it also means that you probably won’t expect it to be such a powerhouse.

I tossed a leg over and grabbed a bit of throttle for the first time when I instantly heard the sound of spinning rubber. Both my tires were simultaneously peeling out, and I wasn’t even ready to go anywhere.

A quick ease off the throttle and a two-second mental reset later, I was ready to try again. This time I feathered it a bit more purposefully and I was off!

The scooter positively flies. The little 14″ tires combined with the super high power motors make for some seriously impressive torque off the line. The instant acceleration will throw your head back and bring a smile to your stretched face.

I’ve ridden some of the most powerful electric motorcycles on the market, and yet somehow I was being impressed by something that looks like an overgrown kids toy. Darn, they did something right here!

And it makes sense, since this isn’t Voromotor’s first rodeo with the RoadRunner. The original was already a pint-sized performance king, but it had some draw backs. Now they’ve addressed those and make the RoadRunner Pro into a seriously compelling machine.

The lack of rear suspension and the somewhat thin seat on the previous version have been replaced with seriously good full suspension and a very nice seat upgrade.

I felt much more comfortable pushing harder into turns and taking larger bumps in the road, unlike with the previous hardtail version that had a bit of a catapult effect on bigger bumps.

The battery also got a massive upgrade. It’s not a potent 60V and 50Ah pack built with high quality cells, pure nickel and copper strips and uses massive 8AWG wires for the discharge. That’s practically welding wire, folks.

Normally a battery that big wouldn’t be removable, especially not in a scooter, but they managed to retain a removable battery design that makes it easier to charge (especially since you won’t want to lift a 115 lb scooter up the stairs into your apartment).

And there are other major upgrades that you won’t notice day to day, but could come in super handy. The split rims mean you run tubeless for better flat protection, and also make it easier to perform repairs if you do get a flat or eventually change tires.

But what gets me the most here is the price. At just $2,895, your’e getting incredible performance at a budget price. There are light electric motorcycles at this price that don’t go this fast. There are e-bikes that have a fraction of this performance!

Speaking of light electric motorcycles, I’d actually consider this to be one of them. It’s called a “seated e-scooter,” but the line is blurry and largely comes down to appearance, not performance. Anything that can scrape you across the pavement at 50 mph deserves to be treated like a motorcycle. To me, that means a full face helmet, armored riding jacket, gloves, pants, etc. The whole nine yards. I’m not telling you how to dress, but I will tell you how not to dress. This isn’t a tank top and flip-flops scooter, not by a long shot.

It’s an awesome machine, but one that demands respect.

What are the downsides?

I love almost everything about this quirky little e-scooter, but that’s the thing – it’s got quirks.

First of all, the rear turn signals are largely a gimmick. They use a single horizontal row of LEDs and flash in a pattern towards one side or the other. That means the “turn signal” isn’t your typical blinker, but rather an animation in the middle of the scooter. Are drivers going to see and then interpret it correctly? Who knows, but I wouldn’t rely on it. I found myself still using hand signals.

Next, the amazing power that gives it awesome acceleration is almost too powerful. It has a tendency to unload the front wheel thanks to the extremely torquey rear wheel. In fact, both wheels are equally torquey, which means that the unloaded front wheel likes to start an early burnout whenever it can. That might be fun if you like leaving short rubber snakes on the pavement, but it also kills your handling, especially if you want to have full control of your steering on a powerful take off. You learn pretty quickly to feather the throttle, but it’s something to keep in mind.

And lastly, there’s the questionable legality. As I mentioned, I didn’t fully hit 50 mph, but that was only because I didn’t push it all the way there. Once I got into the 40’s, I just felt like I was drawing so much attention that I was worried about having to explain to a cop what the heck it was, and why he or she should let me off with a warning. Your local laws may vary, and you’ll want to check to see how a 50 mph seated electric scooter fits into your existing scooter/motorcycle/moped laws. I can tell you that in Florida where I was testing it, this would qualify as a motorcycle and be treated as such. My motorcycle license is important to me, and I didn’t really want to risk it by flying around town at 50 mph too often.

So what’s the summary?

Here it is: This is an incredible machine. Voromotors really pulled out all the stops when it came to redesigning the scooter. The Emove RoadRunner Pro is what would happen if someone actually built the silly idea for an electric scooter we all dream up.

It’s powerful. It’s fast. It’s got a massive battery. It’s even full of great parts like awesome suspension and a long, comfortable saddle.

But you’ll be well served to use an extra helping of responsibility each time you squat down onto this little hooligan. It’s so well outfitted that it will easily get you into trouble if you aren’t careful with it.

Prime Day-1 Green Deals: Lectric's new XP Trike2, EcoFlow, Segway e-bikes, ECOVACS robot mowers, Anker SOLIX, and much more

Amazon’s Prime Day is in full swing through the rest of the week, and we’ve got a jam-packed edition of Green Deals for you today from the first round of savings that we’ve spotted so far, with all the rest being added to our Prime Day Green Deals hub here, which we’ll be updating regularly. Leading the pack is the preorder launch of Lectric’s new XP Trike2 that is getting $227 in free gear at $1,499 through July 28th. We also have some EcoFlow direct-website Prime Day savings, like the DELTA Pro 3 bundle with a 400W panel and a transfer switch at a new $2,849 low, among others. There’s also the new low price hitting Segway’s Xafari e-bike for $2,000, while the Xyber e-bike is down at $3,000. All that and much more are waiting for you below.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Lectric launches new and improved XP Trike2 with $227 in free gear for preorder at $1,499

As part of Lectric’s newly launched Better Than Prime Sale, the brand is offering preorder savings on its all-new XP Trike2 that comes with $227 in free gear at $1,499 shipped, while the upgraded 750 model won’t be available for preorder until September. This bundle would normally cost $1,726 in full, but as most folks know, the brand tends to provide discounts on the bundled items over actual price cuts. This all-new commuting solution is getting the first chance at savings through July 28th, when it is slated to begin shipping. Along with the eTrike, you’ll be getting a wider saddle with a supporting backrest, an Elite headlight, and a suspension seat post. Head below to learn more about this model and its upcoming 750 variant too.

The next generation of one of the most popular eTrikes on the market, especially amongst older riders, Lectric’s new XP Trike2 cruises onto the scene with a Stealth M24 500W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,092W) that runs quieter than normal motors, as well as a 624Wh battery. This combination provides top speeds of 14 MPH and a travel range of up to 50 miles on a single charge when the five PAS levels are activated. If you haven’t ridden in a while and want to take things slow, there is a power-limiting preset feature that dials down its max speed until you’re ready.

There’s a bunch of notable upgrades coming with the Lectric XP Trike2, like the Cloud 50 suspension fork to take pressure off your joints, as well as hydraulic brakes for guaranteed stopping power, a headlight and taillight that provides amber side lighting, turn signals, brake lighting, plus reflective tires – all in the name of keeping you seen and safe. You’ll also be getting puncture-resistant tires with fenders over each, a 20A internal controller with an IPX5 water-resistance rating, parking brakes, a rear cargo rack with a 75-pound payload, a half-twist throttle, a new TFT LCD display, keyless riding functionality, and more.

Now, if you want to hold off for the upgraded Lectric XP Trike2 750 model, there are a few key differences to consider. First, it will be available at $1,799 shipped come September, with a larger 840Wh battery and Stealth M24 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,310W) that provide increased 17 MPH top speeds and a travel range up to 70 miles with the pedal assistance activated. From there, the big changeup comes from the inclusion of the brand’s Quick Switch tech that allows you to switch between cadence and torque sensors.

Ford launches new $0 down, 0% interest summer sales promo and you get a free EV charger

Ford launches new alt=

Ford-summer-sales-promo

Ford has a new idea to help you save this summer: $0 down payment, 0% interest, and zero payments for the first 90 days. The new summer sales promo is available on most Ford and Lincoln models. Those buying an electric vehicle can also score a free home EV charger.

In April, Ford launched the “From America, For America” campaign, offering employee pricing to all. According to Ford, the offer helped make it the number one selling brand in America in the first half of 2025.

Despite the success, Ford is shaking it up for the second half of the year. Starting July 8, Ford is transitioning to its new “Zero, Zero, Zero” offer.

The summer sales promo features a $0 down payment, 0% interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days on most Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

Although the employee pricing plan turned out to be a success, Ford dealers said buyers could benefit from less out-of-pocket expenses.

Those shopping for an EV can also score a free home charge. Ford extended its Power Promise program through September 30.

The program offers buyers a free Level 2 home charger (plus standard installation) and other perks like 24/7 live electric vehicle support, roadside assistance, and an 8-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty.

Despite strong overall sales in the second quarter, Ford’s EV sales fell by nearly a third. Ford spokesperson Martin Gunsberg told Electrek the lower EV sales were due to the Mustang Mach-E recall and changeover to the 2025 model year. “Our dealers can’t sell what they don’t have,” he said.

Although the Trump administration is ending the federal EV tax credit, you still have until September 30 to snag the savings on eligible models.
