Overview of the EMOVE RoadRunner Electric Scooter for Adults with Seat
The EMOVE RoadRunner V2 maintains all the fantastic features that made the original model renowned. Equipped with dual hub motors, the RoadRunner V2 doesn't shy away from power. With a top speed of 34 mph and an impressive range of over 100 miles (possible with a battery swap), this electric scooter for adults with seat is ready to take you wherever your heart desires, whether it's commuting to work, exploring the city, or running errands. The RoadRunner V2 ensures a stylish, comfortable, and seamless ride.
Moreover, this new version brings even more to the table. It features Xtech hydraulic brakes for reliable stopping power, a super bright front headlight for excellent visibility during night rides, and a swappable battery for doubling your travel distance. With adjustable suspension accessible with the turn of a knob, you can customize the resistance to your comfort level.
Additionally, VoroMotors has made significant upgrades to the seat on the RoadRunner V2. Departing from the original small plush design, the new scooter now comes with a thick, heat-resistant memory foam seat, similar to the one on the EMOVE RoadRunner Pro. Your back and bottom will undoubtedly thank you for this improvement! Another key upgrade from the original model is the transition from tube tires to tubeless ones. The new tubeless tires are easier to maintain and significantly less susceptible to flats. Furthermore, the new thumb throttle is crafted for enhanced durability, faster response time, and a more comfortable grip. This upgrade ensures a smoother, more controlled ride every single time!
Unbox and Set Up Your EMOVE RoadRunner Seated Electric Scooter
Unboxing a new EMOVE RoadRunner seated electric scooter is an experience brimming with anticipation and exhilaration. As you carefully open the box, a wave of excitement washes over you, heightened by the sight of your sleek, new electric scooter nestled inside!
What's Included in the EMOVE RoadRunner Box
Upon opening your EMOVE RoadRunner box, you will find everything needed to get you started with your new electric scooter. The package includes:
EMOVE RoadRunner Seated Electric Scooter Quick Setup
Let's get your new scooter ready! The setup is a breeze with just a few easy assemblies. Follow the simple steps below, and you'll be up and riding in no time.
How to Install the Handlebars
The first step in assembling your scooter is installing the handlebars. Before removing theRoadRunner from the box, position the handlebars in their designated slot. Then, lift the 55 lbs electric scooter out of the box using both hands.
In the middle of the handlebars, fold and secure the latch in place by locking it down.
Next, remove the small rubber piece from the slot where you insert the handlebars.
Using the largest allen key provided, tighten the bolt inside. Once you feel resistance, give it one last tighten and then cover it with the rubber piece. This ensures the handlebars stay securely in place while riding.
How to Adjust the Brake Levers and LCD Display
Using the second-largest allen key, tighten the screws on both brake levers to adjust them.
Once the brake levers are secured, move on to adjust the LCD display. Take the allen key and tighten the screw located underneath the LCD.
How to Install the Foot Pegs
Slide the rubber foot peg covers onto the ends of the pegs and tighten them securely by hand. Ensure they are tight and stable, as they provide essential grip to prevent your foot from slipping off while riding.
How to Remove and Charge the Battery
The EMOVE RoadRunner makes it easy to remove and charge the 48V 26.1Ah battery.
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it to the right to release the battery. Gently slide the battery out.
For charging, fully remove the battery, plug in your charger, and connect it to an outlet.
When the scooter is charging, the indicator light on the charger will glow red. When the scooter is done charging, the indicator light on the charger will glow green.
When the battery is full, be sure to remove the charger immediately.
For optimum safety, we recommend that you never charge your scooter unattended, like charging it overnight while you're asleep.
How to Read the LCD Display
Once your scooter is fully charged, power it on to view the LCD display. Here, you'll find important information, including the battery indicator, speed, gear level, and total mileage.
To power on the electric scooter, simply hold the power button.
Press the 'M' button to switch between speed modes: (1) Low speed, (2) Medium speed, (3) Top speed.

Guide the new wire through the scooter's body and up to the lever.
Thread the new brake line back into the lever and turn the screws until the opening is clear.
Insert the bulbous portion of the new line into the lever and fasten the lever screw to keep the line in place.
Insert the line into the caliper and tighten the tension piece using your fingers. Then, securely tighten the caliper screws with the 5 mm hex key.
How to Replace the Front Motor
Over time, due to constant wear and tear, the front motor may become less efficient or even malfunction. In such cases, you will need to replace the front motor to ensure a smooth and safe ride.
Tools
5 mm hex key
4 mm hex key
18 mm socket wrench
Electrical tape
String
Pin tools
Spoon tool (2)
Scissors
Gloves
New front motor
Steps
Use the 5 mm hex key to unscrew the four screws under the seat. Once unscrewed, lift the seat up and hang it off to the side. Make sure to wear gloves around the electric components for safety reasons.
Cut the zip tie holding the wires together and unpack the contents.
Locate the front controller and unplug the motor wires in the motor hall. Take a photo of the motor hall and cables before disconnecting for reference.
Using the pin tool, remove the pins out of the motor hall one at a time.
After removing the pins, cover them with a plastic sheath.
Tie the wires together to the motor hall cables using a string. The string will help with routing the new motor wire later.
Bundle the wires together using electrical tape.
Cut the zip ties holding the motor wires along the frame and unwind the wire. Place the wire cover to the side for later.
Now, take the wire at the front and pull it out. If the string ever falls out, you can use the brake line to push the wires through.
Cut the excess string on the end that you tied to the cables, leaving enough to tie the new motor.
Remove the tape and string from the wires.
Use the 5 mm hex key to unscrew the brake caliper and let it hang off to the side.
Use the 18 mm socket wrench to unscrew the motor bolts. Be careful as the scooter's weight balance will change after removing the wheel. Be ready to catch the wheel once it's free.
Bring the front wheel to a workstation and remove the disc rotor using the 4 mm hex key.
Use a screwdriver to remove excess air from the inner tube to assist with the next steps. You can also spray the rim with water to further assist with removal.
Place your spoon tools along the same side and move them in the opposite direction until the tire emerges over the rim.
Be careful not to damage the air valve as the tire comes off.
Now it's time to place on your new motor. Deflate the inner tube even further before starting.
Line up the air valve with the rim and insert it. Use your spoon tool to assist the lift off the tire and the rim where needed. You may spray some water to make it easier to insert. Please ensure that you have a towel to wipe up excess liquid as the motors are susceptible to water damage.
Once one side of the tire is over the rim, use your palms and spoon tool to push in the remaining parts. You may massage the tire if it seems uneven on either side.
Fill the wheel with air to the recommended psi (between 45 and 50 psi) and install the rotor back on by tightening the six screws using the 4 mm hex key.
Before placing the wheel back on the scooter, ensure that the washers line up with the frame on both sides.
Push the motor into the frame and screw the motor bolts back in with the 18 mm socket wrench.
Ensure that the motor cables emerge from the correct side of the scooter so that you can wind it into the body. Get in front of the tire and see if it lines up with the rest of the scooter. Check for wobble to ensure that the tire is fully secured.
Tie the string from earlier to the new motor wires and then tape them. Pull the string at the other end while pushing the cable from the front until the whole cable emerges into the cavity.
Remove the tape and string, then ensure that the motor hall pins have the fins sticking up before installing them using the pin tool. Insert each pin one at a time into the motor hall and push them in until they click.
Connect the motor hall and the motor cables, matching the colors.
Test out the front motor. If it accelerates, organize the controller among the wires and close up the main cavity. Please make sure no wires are pinching.
Place the seat on top, line up the screw holes, and use the 5 mm hex key to screw in the seat until it's firm.
Wrap the wire cover over the cable starting at the motor and working your way towards the scooter body. Use zip ties to secure the wrap cable to the two slots from earlier.
Screw the front caliper back onto the frame using the 5 mm hex key.
If there are any scraping sounds coming from the front, try to realign your brakes and check if the disc rotor is bent. If there's a bent on the rotor, slowly turn the wheel until you see it with your own eyes. Then, gently bend the rotor back using your hands.
Finally, tighten the brake caliper and rotor and place the nut covers back on.

Unplug the cords with the black connector and plug them into the same colored cords on the new controller. Do this for each set of wires according to the color groups.
Remove the old controller, wrap it in plastic, as it may still hold a charge. Avoid placing it on a metal surface.
Reconnect the yellow power cords.
Test the scooter to ensure that it's working properly. Check the throttle, front and rear motors, turn signals, brake lights, horn, LCD screen, and front lights.
Once you've confirmed that all systems are functional, arrange all components neatly, ensuring no pinching of wires.
Finally, align the seat with the screw holes and use the 5mm hex key to securely fasten the seat back on.
How to Replace the Rear Controller
The process for replacing the rear controller is identical to the front controller replacement. Follow steps 1-14 as mentioned above. The only difference is in step 4:
Locate the larger controller, typically positioned along the back, and remove it.

The electric scooter throttle controls the speed of the scooter. It may require replacement if it gets worn out, broken, or if the scooter's speed control becomes inconsistent or unresponsive.
Tools
3 mm hex key
5 mm hex key
Scissors
Pin removal tool
Flexible wire
Tape
Knife
Steps
Using the 5 mm hex key, unscrew the four screws located at the bottom of the seat.

Snip the wire where it will be depinned.
Debride the throttle line and gently pull the throttle cable out.
Twist and remove the right grip with your hand.
Loosen the throttle using the 3 mm hex key, slide it off, and fully remove it from your scooter.
Slide your new throttle onto the handlebar and semi-tighten it with the 3 mm hex key.
To test the new throttle, pin the wires into the white connector as follows: red to red, yellow to green, and black to black.
For the last two wires, yellow and blue, which determine the single and dual motor functions, first try connecting yellow to yellow and blue to blue.
Power on your scooter and test both the single and dual motor functions. If the buttons are flipped, swap the yellow to blue and the blue to yellow.
Take a picture of the wire orientation and disconnect them from the white connector.
Thread a flexible wire through the right tube.
Tape the throttle line to your wire and slowly pull it through until it reaches the controller box.
Use a knife to lift the locking pins and insert them into the black connector in the same orientation as earlier.
Plug it into the white connector and power on your scooter to test that everything functions properly.
Organize the wires and place the seat back into its position. Align the seat holes and secure it in place with the 5 mm hex key.
Reinsert your grip and fully tighten the throttle.
