I quit riding street motorcycles years ago, after a highway crash - wasn't hurt, but could've been killed. Fast forward 35 years, I just turned 60, and in the last 2 months got a free, dirt cheap sit down scooter, the kind the seat is built in, shocks in the rear, and 12 inch wheels, and last week, a free, dirt cheap stand up scooter w/ solid 8 inch wheels and no suspension, both from Amazon (of course). When given just these lower level scooters, between then, I like the sit down one better. Maybe because it seems safer, sitting v. standing, is more comfortable, has a higher rear light to be seen further away, and I'm not going to be jumping over small hills. I'm more interested in riding to the store, on sidewalks when free, and being able to bring home a handful of groceries at a time. This reduces my use of my SUV, thus gas expenses and pollution. It kind of satisfies my motorcycle-like passions, at speeds limited to 16 mph. You can kill yourself at 16 mph, but it's not as likely, and I bet you can sustain a jolt when sitting, that may throw you on a stand up scooter. Which segways me into my concern. That, as scooters go faster and more vehicle-like, that more state and federal laws will be written, requiring a license, insurance, license plates and turn signals / lights. I'm responsible and wear gear and use lights. But I don't like the thought of having to pay the government charges, and pay my insurance company even more.
Sitting is definitely safer than standing on these things! I also like using my scooter in place of my car when possible. You can kill yourself walking and looking at your phone at the same time! lol. I want as few distractions as possible when I am riding mine! Having your posterior absorb some of the shock when riding is also a plus, but not for your posterior... 🤣 As far as laws go, it will likely be based on power/weight as to where you can ride them and what all you have to have to operate them. Just watched a story about an area cracking down of Golf Carts because a small community is using them in place of cars and it's leading to more cart accidents.
I think you are paying the same price for the kit, because you get different brakes. I'm considering this scooter as well. Chiefly because of the handlebar height and board size for my almost 6'5" frame. I don't really care that much for speed vs. overall comfort of the ride (except for the power for some hills). I wish there was a supportive place near me to purchase it for issues since I'm not handy. In either case I don't have any room in my garage for now anyways lol. Black Friday sales are going on right now with $200 off on this scooter which would be sweet, I gotta admit. Maybe next Spring or Summer I can take a road trip to their offices in Los Angeles to actually try it along with the Roadrunner Pro. That seems to me to be the most pragmatic. Good luck on your decision.
I would be surprised if this scooter goes up to $2195 after Black Friday. The rest of their prices haven't changed at all. Such as the single motor version. It has been $1499 since it released. I do like the price where it is now though for sure! Let me know when you do decide to get yours and which one you get! 🙂
@@ElectricScooterGuyYeah and no discount on the Roadrunner Pro. Although by next year a version 3 most likely. I have a Fluid Free ride in San Francisco which is about 45 minutes south of me and The Last Mile (another scooter store closer to me)I tried the Klima there as well as other scooters last year (obviously I’m in no rush lol). If Fluid carried the Emove cruiser would you go through them. Totally hypothetical considering they don’t.
@@ElectricScooterGuyNope Voro is only in Los Angeles area. Who knows, when I eventually get room in my garage I might just get an electric bike because I would get more use out of it and I would feel more comfortable on it. They just aren’t portable unless you got a pricey bike rack and tail hitch. Scooters even though they are heavy can most likely be put into my RAV4. In the coming year I hope to see a review comparing the Emove Cruiser V2 with the dual motored 52v and 60v
@@MrBalas3 I gotcha! Yeah, I would also like to see how the performance compares between a Dual Motor 60v and a dual motor 52v that has been upgraded! 🙂
The cruiser with dual motors should definitely have at least a 60 volt battery to be optimal. I'm curious to see the reviews and how it actually performs once it's released.

All those with this scoot already know this. Many have preordered the kit .The kit comes with full
Hydraulic zoom breaks.
Nice!! Do you have or are you getting the kit for yours?
@ElectricScooterGuy yes

@@MrBalas3 Version 3 Roadrunner Pro? That's interesting! It's nice that you have a Fluid Freeride near by. Does Voro Motors? have a place near you?

Yes, a 60V Dual 1000W Emove Cruiser is quite intriguing!!
