EMOVE CRUISER V2 – $1,499
We reviewed the EMOVE Cruiser V2 a few weeks back, and Paul covered the specs in depth, testing range, speed, acceleration, etc. But in this review, we do something a little different.
I’m taking Cruiser V2 off-road, and testing its ride quality with a rider my size – 6’1″, 200 pounds vs Paul’s 5’10”, 165 pounds. The original Cruiser was one of our favorite recommendations for larger riders. Is the updated version still a good choice?
What really stood out to me right away when I unboxed the scooter was the new level of build quality and overall stability. One of my biggest issues with the previous EMOVE Cruiser was that it had a rickety feel for heavier riders, especially when the stem height was extended all the way.
The new Cruiser uses a beefier stem lock and more robust telescoping stem that eliminates much of the flex of the earlier model. The Cruiser V2 also takes the model’s long riding platform to the next level with a tail you can rest your back foot on.
The Cruiser V2’s suspension is still nice and stiff, which is great for larger riders since the scooter won’t bottom out when you hit a bump.
At the outset, I was super-impressed with the new level of build quality on the Cruiser V2. It’s still the longest-range electric scooter you can buy under $1,500. How did it do on the trail? Find out below.
