The RoadRunner RX7 Electric Scooter: Most Anticipated of 2024
No doubt those who follow electric scooter news have heard the buzz about the RoadRunner RX7. It’s an electric scooter you’re never going to want to mod out, since it already comes with hundreds of dollars of mods pre-installed.
On the RoadRunner RX7, All the Mods Come Stock
Choice appointments on the RX7 include Magura MT5e four piston hydraulic brakes, the highest spec brakes we’ve seen on an electric scooter. (They’re also on the EMOVE Roadster, currently the fastest electric scooter in production with an ESG-tested 72.1 mph top speed.)
The MT5es are typically used as premium e-bike brakes, and have some of the most legendary stopping power (and most glowing long-term reviews) on the market.
The RX7 also comes with dual adjustable KKE Hydraulic Suspension and 11×4 PMT “B Stradale” racing tires. These are made from rubber, while almost all other electric scooter tires are made out of nylon, not the best material for traction at higher speeds.
And this is the first electric scooter to use electroluminescent paint (in addition to two bright LED headlamps). The coating glows a bright icy blue in the dark, making sure you’ll be seen at night from the rear, front, sides, and even above, just because.
The Biggest Removable Battery Yet
A view of RoadRunner RX7 from above shows off its massive 27” x 11” deck, an enormously spacious platform almost as big as the ultra-stable Dualtron X Limited.
Tucked under the deck is the largest removable battery we’ve ever seen on an electric scooter, a Samsung-made 2880 Watt-hour battery RoadRunner says can produce up to 70 miles of range per charge.
Finally (not really, but we’ll get to the rest in our full review), the RX7 has a steering damper for added stability because… well, it promises to be fast as hell – up to 70 miles per hour according to RoadRunner. With two 1800W motors and a combined peak power of 8000W, we can believe it’s capable, but we’ll only see for sure when we get it on our testing track.
