    I wanted to get this, since I have the gtr and inmotion but idk after that QC. Seeing as he supposedly took each scooter to check them. Yet you get a damaged 4k scooter. The glue all over , and damaged luminor is unacceptable. It looks good , but also that rats nest of wires.. unacceptable. After seeing the RS and gtr controller setup and no crazy wires, I never want another rats nest.

  • @jabo5779
    @jabo5779 6 місяців тому +7

    I have the same dent on the kick plate. There are no scratches or dings on the lumilor, though, and I dont see any of that glue stuff on the side. The power button and dual motor buttons are already worn off in just 50 miles of riding. My left handlebar end piece fell off, and I had to glue it back on. Also, the rear motor wire was zip tied so close to the motor that the valve stem was hitting it, making a click every rotation. Had to just go without the zip ties cause once you cinch them down, it pulls the wire towards the hub. One suggestion: I took the stock headlight off, and then you can run the wires coming out of the stem behind the headlight. It looks a little cleaner and helped me get that plug thing where the wires come out of the stem back in cause mine was out like yours. I agree with you. This thing rides sweet. They picked great components, but they really missed the ball on the little stuff. The owner said they did a second quality control check, I dont believe it. I think that unboxing in the vegas warehouse caused more harm than good. For 4k, it should be perfect, and it is not. And I had no idea we got cheated on the tubed tires. Where was that memo? Lol. Anyway, early adopters get burned always, but it is still fun to ride. I dont know that they have me as a long-term customer. I think other brands are going to easily surpass this bar. But there is not a whole lot of competition in this high-end space yet. Waiting to see the rider guide review. I think he is going to expose some of these rushed decisions and design choices like the kickplate angle.

    • @Nabicook
      @Nabicook  6 місяців тому +4

      The way how they handled QC was almost like buying a second handed $4799 scooter at the used price of 4k. and at that point it makes sense. but 4k brand new with this condition is a bit off.
      The idea was great, the way how they've put everything together was great, but the actual product for these early batches are like prototypes that came straight out from someone's garage.
      I can definitely see if other brands released their next generation, they are going to have way better finish and overall more polished design.
      Afterall, it's the roadrunner's first attempt and we all know what an early adapter means. They mentioned about the RX6, which I assume is going to be 10in 60v 60mph scooter based on their marketing strategy, will have a better finish and probably address all the problems with the RX7. and then just like how the RS5+/Max had a bunch of upgrades, I'd expect an RX7+ that will make the original RX7 look obsolete.
      I agree with you, I can't say for sure if I will be their long term customer, but still, I can't deny the fact that this was the most interesting scooter in 2024. If I really wanted something finished and ready to go, nami burn e2 max or the inmotion rs may have been my choice. Good thing the RX7 doesn't have mechanical/functional flaws (yet) and mostly cosmetic issues.

My suggestion is that a special wrench be made to help us get better leverage on that collar. The tighter we can get it the better and the strap wrench can only do so much.

    Just checked my steering damper mount and that front big bolt was completely loose after 150 miles. Guys, this mount needs blue loctite for the two bolts that join the mount to the scooter arm. There should have been something for that front bolt, either a lockwasher or the suggestion of loctite at the very least. Please check your steering damper every so often. Nabi, if you make another video about the play in the stem, you could include this as well. How is yours holding up?

    You give some of the most detailed breakdowns of the product I have ever seen. You're doing a great job as you cover stuff that most users don't even think about. I saw on the RX7 site about a water protection kit and that's something that should be factory standard. I usually silicone spray all electrical parts to prevent water damage.
    On your other video you showed water in the display. I couldn't believe it. That's terrible. A display should be perfectly sealed as a given. I would ask for a replacement and I would seal it myself to make sure it didn't happen again.
    Anyway, keep up the good work. I don't need a powerful scooter like RX7 but it seems to be a well-designed scooter that anyone would be proud to own. I suppose all products have flaws and you're doing a fine service pointing them out for other users or potential users.

    because I didn't want some cheap skate bullshit scooter that can only go 5 miles (or less) and die on me! I didn't realize the scooter game
    has come along this far since the last time I was looking into electric scooters about 10 years ago! Before doing some research if you were
    to ask me what's the fastest electric scooter on the market I would've assumed 30-35 mph at most! This thing is a damn beast! I've always
    been against motorcycles because I've had too many friends/family die on them! Plus I don't like the fact that no matter how safe you ride
    on a bike you always have people around you that aren't paying attention. I'd prefer smashing this on the bike trails we have out here rather
    than actual roads though! I'd rather eliminate other terrible drivers all together! We have some awesome paved trails out here where I live
    that go from my apartment complex, all the way into downtown where the trails run along a river and to a lake! It'll be a blast for sure!

    Having owned 3 NanRobot scooters, I’d been waiting for RoadRunner to put something out, like this. The owner of RR is fantastic, btw. As fate would have it, my scooter went on sale back in January (before the 7 came out). I get around 55 mph, which is fine and the DualTron build quality is excellent (minus stem-creak😂), so I’m happy. Good luck with the scooter. I see that you’re the kind of person that will give it the care it deserves😊

    The speedometer being off by 15-30% has been an issue since their earliest iterations of the RS5. I changed the wheel size in settings to make my RS5 Max closer but it's still off. I can't imagine why the owner / designers haven't addressed this yet. They're one of the few, well known scooter brands that are missing an accurate speed display by more than 10%. It's a bit of insight into Roadrunner's ability to recognize, troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly.

      I've never tried the RS5, but it's based on an existing platform, unlike the RX7 which seemingly is suffering some problems right now. unless you HAVE to go 50+mph all the time (which is danger fast at the first place), I'd say RS5 would be a better option if you were to choose from RoadRunner. make sure to check other options as well. but for RX7, it looks cool on paper, but may not be for everyone.

Its a great scooter for sure, but not up to the quality of that $4k price point in my opinion. $3k is more realistic of a price for it.

    8:00 All the shipping / packing damage is unacceptable on a $4k scooter. It seems everyone has the dent or scratch on the kickplate. The black base finish around the stem / front wheel support is uneven, chalky and has streaks of clear coat or adhesive smearing and dripping across the surface. The rat's next of wiring looks like it would be home on a $1000 dual motor "super scooter" from Amazon, not a premium, $4000 ride. I can hardly belief how rough the scooter looks in the close up shots. I'd box the thing up and send it right back to them. From what I'm seeing, the RX7 falls well behind in quality compared to the Inmotion, Nami's and even some of the Kaabo's. I'm an RS5 Max owner and this video was hard to watch. So glad that I didn't order one of these. Some great idea's but poor execution. I'll wait until / if they get their shit together.

    I hope that Dale guy reads this comment and other initial early reviews. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that he and his team did a QC inspection and yet your scooter and others were allowed to be released with damages. If we were talking about a $500 scooter, I think expectations would be tamer, but this is a $4,000 scooter and you and others who received damaged scooters shouldn't happen in the first place. The damage to your kick plate, to the lumilor, and the extra silicone/glue that was apparent on the deck and the nut underneath the rubber cap is atrocious. Dale and company should be ashamed of themselves. Shame on you guys for releasing this crap to your customers who paid good money. I'm giving a thumb up to this video but I wish I could give a thumb down to the scooter.
    Thank you for taking your time to create this video. It was very helpful. I have a few questions if you don't mind answering?
    1) Remember on their original website listing, it mentioned that this scooter was capable of reach 30 MPH from a dead start in under 3 seconds. Did you get a sense of that?
    2) Your brakes seem to be squealing a lot. Is that normal?
    3) Have you contacted Roadrunner scooters regarding your cosmetic damages? If so, what were there response?
    4) How's the length of the handlebar?

    • @Nabicook
      @Nabicook  6 місяців тому +2

      1. like I said with the settings, I can only set to 1 for the acceleration and I can't tell if thats because of the pmt's or just weaker acceleration, but I'm getting way less wheel spins than klima. Klima on turbo wants to launch out, RX7 atm gradually increases speed with way much noticable power (but minimal wheel spin) Im going to have to test it out. I'll probably film it today.
      2. its normal for disk brakes, they can be annoying but it really is just two metals scrubbing against each other. Brand new rotors have flat shiny surface, which makes it even easier to generate those squeaky noises. you can change pads to resin based which is quieter but wears out fast or metallic based which is louder but long lasting.
      3. not yet, will probably do.
      4. handle bar is enough for me (Im a small guy) and I've seen complaints about it not being wider. If you are a big guy, then it might be little short. At least its an easy component to replace/customize.

      @dhandmg 6 місяців тому +1

      As someone who also waited 6 months for this scooter, (and yes my kick plate has a dent, and I have a broken dampener) I feel a lot of these comments are pretty harsh. This is a really really really nice scooter! It's fast as heck, smooth, has amazing brakes, fantastic tires, awesome battery. The throttle is the best thumb throttle I've tried, with no dead zone, and a great feel to it! It has a huge usable deck, and is basically everything I hoped it would be. Yes, my main gripe is probably the tubes in the tires, it's not a deal breaker but does kinda suck. All that said, I understand the disappointment with some cosmetic defects, it sucks. But..... I kinda feel Dale was in a danged if you do, danged if you don't situation in regards to all the flack he would have gotten had he delayed this even more. I know I was super anxious to receive this scooter, and had he said do you want it now or in two months once we get the tubeless tires and some other little things worked out, I 100 percent would have said give it to me now!!

    Usually wobbling happens on its own at high at high speeds, when certain scooters get to certain speeds they start wobbling only on when you go for your high speed test that's when I'll be concerned, in which I'm not sure if you tried to take it to the highest speed in this video or not. What you were doing was called carving

      I weigh 130lbs, and I was able to hit 64mph with a bit more throttle left (~95A discharge out of 110A max) I wasn't even bending down but standing straight. So its clear that there's much more headroom left to go faster.
      Flat road without headwind seems easy to hit at least 68mph, I'd say 70mph is reasonable if you are a light rider maybe below 160lbs. Now heavy rider is a different story and it applies to all scooters,
      but purely from a marketing perspective I see that they were trying to match with the number "7" which is the RX7, 70mph top speed, 70mi range.
      70 is for sure not going to be for everyone, even higher voltage scooters struggle time to time to hit 70. Its more like a peak speed you can reach and not sustainable speed you can casually go 24/7.
      Realistically, I'd say you can casually hit 65-68mph if you are not too heavy, even if you are, 60+ should be easy. So yeah take it as "upto 70" where it requires all conditions to be met.

    The air vents r meant to be cut off not open access to the battery it’s self the idea is to keep it cool not expose it to water/bacteria/dirt the seal is obviously there to keep water out as well that’s the idea of a water resistant scooter but I understand not every one understands how things work if ofc u didn’t engineer it ur self now , a good honest review is wat we should expect out of u but ur doin to much now

    • @Nabicook
      @Nabicook  5 місяців тому

      addressed in my second video,
      1. the rubber seal is inefficient in heat transfer but there is also a gap between the deck and cover, also between the battery. I have a pc thats more expensive than this scooter and experiences building custom loop water cooling builds, knowing what an effecient cooling design should look like. it plays minimum to zero role. I commented as better than nothing, but not as effective as it sounds like.
      2. addressed in the video, the seal does not provide front coverage and the controller compartment is not water tight. As my area start to get some rain, I get water droplets getting closer to the weak spots I mentioned. If I hit a puddle by an accident its a game over. you don't advertise such design as ip66, unless you know what an IP rating is.
      3. you dont need a degree in mechanical engineering just to understand that rubber and air gaps insulate heat. your tumbler has literally the same design, metal-gap-metal. this scooter has an air gap between the cover and the battery, and the controller heat are spread through the bottom (where there is no heatsink), not the top.
      there's already instances of riders frying up their controllers.
      4. this is a prime example of an honest review, revealing every single aspect of the product so that the viewers can decide. a sponsored/dishonest review will simply call it an amazing scooter, drop an affiliate link, and recommend to buy one - which I never did.
