California-based Voro Motors supplies a few of the strongest electric scooters available on the market, a few of which may even attain freeway speeds of their unlocked modes. Now we’re getting an early glimpse at a custom-modified scooter that mixes two of the model’s fashions into one high-power Franken-scooter.
The scooter is constructed on an EMove RoadRunner chassis.
Late final yr we coated the launch of that scooter, which is a riot by itself.
The $1,695 electric scooter is a pint-size powerhouse, using on 14″ wheels but reaching speeds of as much as 35 mph (56 km/h), because of its twin motors.
And that’s no exaggeration, I’m at present testing one and have truly hit that pace on it (full evaluation coming quickly!).
But the smaller motors within the RoadRunner apparently weren’t extreme sufficient for the group behind this one-off scooter, as they determined to up the ante with elements from Voro’s Wolf King GT electric scooter.
The Wolf King GT is close to the highest of the checklist with regards to excessive electric scooters. The $3,695 scooter options lengthy journey suspension, tall experience top, and a pair of two,000W-rated electric motors that propel it as much as 62 mph (100 km/h).
As typical with high-speed electric rideables, the rated energy doesn’t inform the complete story. With a pair of 50A sine-wave controllers working at 72V, every motor can theoretically pull a peak of three,600W.
That’s already a bit loopy on a standing electric scooter (and is in fact designed for off-road using, which is what the Wolf King GT excels at), however the loopy meter ratchets up a couple of extra notches when these elements are shoehorned into the little RoadRunner’s body.
With the pair of overpowered motors bolted on, the beforehand peppy RoadRunner now seems to be like an orange rocket recent out of a mad scientist’s scooter laboratory.
They check with it as a 5,000W scooter, however that’s truly probably a bit low primarily based on the height efficiency of these motors.

The inclusion of what seems to be a steering damper in addition to body lights from the donor scooter ought to make the modded RoadRunner a bit safer, although “safe” is a relative time period at these energy ranges.
The firm hasn’t launched an excessive amount of extra information concerning the mod but, however it could truly be accessible for buy finally.
The challenge was created partially to showcase how riders can use Voro Motor’s vast choice of electric scooter substitute elements to customise and modify their private electric autos. But the corporate might find yourself doing one thing related with its personal distinctive creations.
As the corporate defined:
All elements and elements at the moment are accessible on our web site – Riders be at liberty to customise your scooter primarily based on the specs you need! VM will quickly be releasing 1 of 1 version every month on our web site, absolutely personalized able to ship electric scooter on our web site, keep tuned for that!
As I discussed, I’m at present testing out the RoadRunner in its inventory configuration. That used to appear like overkill, however now it immediately feels a bit extra sane after seeing this custom-modified model.
I’ll be excited to get my full evaluation of the RoadRunner ready quickly, however within the meantime you possibly can examine it out in a fast look beneath.
