Despite it being a lightweight electric scooter, weighing only 39 lbs, the EMOVE Touring can accommodate heavy riders up to 308 lbs. As a foldable electric scooter, it quickly transforms into a compact size, measuring just 11.5" in height and 43" in length, allowing for effortless storage and transportation.
Where the scooter folds and how impacts its safety and longevity. The Touring has an easy-to-use step-down lever to fold and unfold the scooter. Additionally, the rubber folding cylinder, a key component in the folding mechanism, is replaceable, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. The hinge, which serves as the pivotal connection between the aluminum alloy stem and deck of the scooter, is slotted to lock it into the folded and unfolded positions, guaranteeing a secure and seamless folding experience.
Its spacious deck, measuring 22" long by 7" wide, provides ample standing room for you to change riding positions, while the grip tape down the center offers excellent underfoot traction preventing slips. With 5" of deck-to-ground clearance, the Touring effortlessly handles various terrains, thanks to its triple suspension system on both the front and rear wheels. The 8" front pneumatic tire comes with an inner tube, wheel hub, air valve and two bearings. Working together with the 8" rear solid rubber tire, these ensure good traction and stability for a comfortable and smooth ride.
At the heart of the EMOVE Touring lies a 48V 13Ah LG battery, fueling a 500W rear motor which can be replaced if needed. During motor replacement, it's important to ensure the wheel has both the M12 silver cap motor nut and motor hook spacer for proper installation. With this setup, the scooter boasts a maximum battery capacity of 624 Wh, with a charge time of around 6 hours. With 32 miles of range, the Touring is a great beginner scooter that goes the distance and hits 25 mph top speed, surpassing the performance of typical rentable street scooters.
One of the best things about purchasing an electric scooter like the Touring is how much you can customize it to your tastes and needs. If standing up while driving sounds unappealing, you can upgrade the Touring with our custom-designed seat. We also have several types of handlebars available to make your Touring stand out from the crowd. There are also alternate throttle options to replace the built-in finger trigger throttle, along with other useful and fun accessories.

As time goes by and you use your electric scooter for daily commutes, it's not uncommon to encounter missing screws. This is primarily due to the wear and tear caused by regular usage. The constant vibrations and movements experienced during rides can gradually loosen screws, compromising their ability to hold components together securely. To maintain the structural stability and safety of your electric scooter, it's important to regularly inspect and replace any missing or loose screws.
VoroMotors has visual maps of where the respective screws should go in the electric scooter in this EMOVE Touring Screw Catalog.
For beginners getting ready to embark on their first ride with the EMOVE Touring electric scooter, a quick and simple setup is essential. Begin by confirming that the scooter is fully charged and ready to go. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the scooter's operation, including understanding the displays and controls.
Before hitting the road, perform a thorough check of the scooter's overall condition, ensuring that all components are secure and in proper working order. Lastly, and most importantly, always prioritize safety by wearing appropriate safety gear, such as a helmet and protective pads. Remember, it's important to learn how to ride an electric scooter safely before embarking on your journey.
The EMOVE Touring electric scooter is designed to be portable and convenient, offering a quick-release folding mechanism. Its compact size when folded makes it easy to carry around in crowded spaces, such as public transportation or offices. This portability allows riders to effortlessly store the scooter in limited spaces. Unlike some faster electric scooters, the Touring is quick to fold. Here’s how to unfold the EMOVE Touring.
Check out the video above for a visual demonstration of how to fold and unfold your EMOVE Touring electric scooter.
The EMOVE Touring electric scooter features an LCD display that you can customize to your personal preferences. It’s always a good idea to learn how to adjust the display settings to your preferences before kicking off.
The LCD on the Touring has two buttons, Power and Mode, which you use to toggle through the settings. From the main display, you can read the speedometer, battery charge, speed mode, odometer, and trip time. These reset every time you power on the display.
There are five display modes on the LCD on the EMOVE Touring. Use the Mode button to toggle through the display modes.
There are three speed modes on the EMOVE Touring, with speed mode 1 being the slowest and speed mode 3 being the fastest. That means, the scooter will automatically limit your top speed in modes 1 and 2. Here’s how to switch between modes on the Touring scooter.
The EMOVE Touring LCD is pretty simple, but you can access performance settings, or p-settings which enable riders to modify factors such as acceleration, top speed, and overall performance.
Here’s a reference table displaying the p-settings and what they do.
P-Setting |
Function (Default Value and Options) |
P0 |
Tire diameter (8)* |
P1 |
Low voltage protection (41.5 or 415V)* |
P2 |
Motor magnets (15)* |
P3 |
Speed signal (1)* |
P4 |
Speedometer units (km/h: 0, mph: 1) |
P5 |
Start mode (zero start: 0, kick start: 1) |
P6 |
Cruise control (off: 0, on: 1) |
P7 |
Acceleration (fast: 0, slow: 1) |
P8 |
Max power level (100: max, 70: reduces speed by 30%) |
P9 |
Electronic brake strength (off: 0, low: 1, high: 2) |
*We recommend keeping these p-settings at their default value to avoid functionality issues. For example, if you change the tire diameter in P0 to 10, the speedometer and odometer adjust accordingly to display values for a 10” tire. Setting the value higher than the actual tire size will make it appear like you’re covering more ground (or going faster) than you actually are.
While pneumatic tube tires for electric scooters provide a durable and reliable ride, there's still a possibility of encountering flats. This tutorial aims to simplify the process of replacing the front tire on the EMOVE Touring, whether it's the outer tire or inner tube. Unforeseen incidents like punctures or other damage to the tire can cause air leaks. Not only are flat tires difficult to ride on, they reduce your overall range and can cause damage to the rim if not remedied.
Here’s a step-by-step tutorial for how to replace the front tire on the Touring electric scooter. If you can elevate the scooter on a hydraulic lift table or other sturdy surface, that will make it easier to access the wheel.
It is recommended to use the standard charger that comes with your electric scooter. Here’s how to charge the EMOVE Touring.
Over time, it is natural for the brake pads of an electric scooter to wear down, which can lead to reduced braking efficiency. In addition, the brake cables may stretch or become misaligned, resulting in decreased responsiveness and control. Regular brake tuning is necessary to address these issues.
The brakes on your Touring scooter might require less adjustment than you'd think due to the drum brake system it employs. However, fine-tuning them is an important step to ensure your safety and improve your riding experience. Here's how to adjust the tension of the drum brake.
Here's an alternative method to fine-tune the response of your drum brake directly on the brake lever. This method provides a convenient way to adjust the sensitivity of your brake without having to tamper with the drum brake itself.
In some cases, the brake line may pop out of the correct housing, which can cause the brake to malfunction. To get the brake line in the right position, follow these steps:
You may need to change the grip tape on the deck of your EMOVE Touring after riding it for a while. The grip tape can suffer damage due to usual wear and tear, creating loose edges, cuts, or reduced traction. Fortunately, you can follow along with our video tutorial for step-by-step guidance on how to effortlessly replace the grip tape yourself. Before removing the old grip tape, it is necessary to disassemble some components of the scooter.
There are two ways to remove the grip tape: using a heating element or soapy water. You can also combine these methods for stubborn adhesive.
Now, you can scoot around with your Touring dressed in a brand new grip tape!
