We’ve called the RoadRunner RX7 the most anticipated electric scooter of 2024, and it’s one of the world’s fastest electric scooters, too, topping out in our tests at 63.2 mph.
More importantly than those honorifics, the RoadRunner RX7 also earned Best Equipped Electric Scooter of the year, because it’s a scooter you won’t ever need to upgrade. All the best components come stock.
There are the four-piston Magura hydraulic disc brakes, the motorcycle-grade, adjustable KKE hydraulic shocks, and the sticky, Italian-made racing tires from PMT.
The RX7 also has the biggest removable battery we’ve ever seen, made with premium Samsung cells; and it’s covered with ice-blue electro luminescent paint for max visibility night or day.
Who Is This Scooter For?
All of the world's fastest electric scooters are really best reserved for serious riders. Riding this scooter safely requires hundreds of dollars in safety gear, as well as lots of training and experience riding and racing scooters and/or motorcycles, so add those intangibles to an already premium price tag.
(Launch price is $3,999 but we've heard it might go up.)
While it’s not a ride for every rider, this is one of the easiest to ride out of all the big, fast electric scooters we’ve tested.
