    This is the RoadRunner RS5. (Re-branded). Same body, same deck, same display with removable battery.... I have 2 questions ....
    1). The Roadrunner RS5 has tubeless tires. Does the G3 Pro have tubeless too or do they have innertubes ? (There's a big price difference between the two the G3 being considerably less expensive. )
    2). Also, it looks like you could get the better LG 52Volt 28AH battery from Roadrunner and use it in the G3 Pro. From what I can tell it looks like it would work. The LG Battery would give the G3 Pro a bit better top end and if driven moderately considerably better range. 5 to 10 more miles. It would be a great backup battery too !!!
    It looks like it would work but it's hard to tell for sure.
    Just, trying to figure out the differences between the two because of the price difference.
    G3 Pro US $1,550 verse
    RS5 $1,990 and with the LG 28AH $2,290.

      From what I know, KUGOO launched this model in EU countries last November, not sure when did this roadrunner RS5 come out. I also did some research on Amazon about the price difference between tubeless tires or tires with an innertube, sadly I didn't find the 'big price difference' you mentioned, if I was wrong please show me.

      @MakeUseOf  Рік тому +3

      It appears to have tubes, same as the G3.
      I'd guess they're either both generic, or Roadrunner had an exclusive contract for a while and perhaps Kugoo are the manufacturer - but it's hard to tell with these things.

      Hello! Thanks for your attention! Tbh, G3 Pro has been released in the European market for a long time, while the US market later, due to the production cycle and shipping time. A more affordable price for our customers to enjoy our products and services at a more reasonable price. :D

      I just got my g3 pro here in Colorado 🇺🇸. Shipping took about 5 days it came perfect. I was on the fence about one of these dope scooters until I saw this. I noticed that it was a less expensive rs5 as well. Opted for the standard battery. Honestly it’s plenty fast. 50 feels fast on my surron so 40 mph is more than enough (I have only gone about 34 so far but it had way more)(185 lb rider). I am no expert on e scooters but this thing is sweet. Dual motor gear 3 it will throw you back while climbing a very steep grade. Hops right off of curbs no problem. You better respect the power.

      @@bartmcdowell8349 And it's very, very easy to up-date your battery if you ever need to. Roadrunner sells an exact fit replacement pack LG 28AH pack. You'll get even better range and a bit more top-end. In any case great choice, like the key, display and board....
      ....and the Orange is quite nice too !!! Have Fun !!!

      Use the UK shop for EU warehouse: www.kugooscooter.uk/products/kukirin-g3-pro-electric-scooter - no import fees. Free delivery. It's difficult for me judge warranty issues as I have a direct contact for any problems, such as the shipping damage. It did take a while to ship the replacements though, I think outside of the scooter, the spare parts come from China via Germany, so takes longer. .
