Bro I get anxiety watching you weave thru traffic but I love it 😂

[@ashpunting]

How can this bike be so cute and a beast at the same time and a lot of fun 😂👍🏼

JB 360 hectic commute ride alongs are back 😤

[@JB360_NYC]

It never ends lol

[@enterlematrix]

Man this thing cooks. Be careful. A few close calls man. I got cut off and hit on a full size just recently. Great project. Great content. One life. Stay safe bro.

[@JB360_NYC]

💯 🙏🏻

[@l3arney]

I always ride as if everyone on the streets is out to murk me so I ride extremely defensively! So far so good...just hope it stays like that! 😊

[@Catbert814]

I owned my roadrunner for about a yr and a half. Always been disappointed about the lack of power. Man I need this!

[@tsukiyomi_420]

The panels on the sides is super cleannn

[@ecsracing]

Nothing better then a clear smooth road ahead of u. Great video bro and awesome riding. Pocket rocket got balls, lol.

[@JB360_NYC]

💯💯

[@garymertens2019]

Wow that bike is so cool going 60 on a bike that low to the ground makes it so crazy fast please be careful on that awesome bike it's so amazing great job on that build buddy. It really is so awesome you should be very proud obout that build. RIDE SAFE.

[@stockey]

The RoadRunner, is a sitting down scooter, and you should install a kick stand.😄

[@JB360_NYC]

I know I gotta get one asap lol

[@Gamingcs11692]

The traffic isn't that bad it's just the way he's riding it though the vehicles. The gravel on the other hand has always been pretty rough on those electric bikes and scooters. Also you have to be careful of some of those taxis because they won't let you get through.

[@mikefleek9259]

In NYC I recommend wearing fluorescent orange. Have a will drawn up .

[@boobiebug]

Love this video bro, i was like omg omg is he going to fit thru some of the spaces .lol.. be safe out there. Thank you for putting me onto Sal. I cant wait till he tells me what great things i can do to my bike.

[@JB360_NYC]

For sure! Sal's an awesome builder and knows his stuff.

[@cIoudbank]

super cool and unique- looks straight out of a movie or anime

[@ymgaming9976]

Id say the best category that fits the roadrunner pro would be an electric moped 😂

[@JB360_NYC]

Yea exactly hehe

You got me paranoid riding through traffic like that on something so quite. But it is fun isn't it 😂

[@hanz101]

I started taking the ferry a bit myself. I've seen whole ass delivery style mopeds on the ferry among other beasts. That dude definitely was feeling some kind of way that day or sumthin.

[@antonypartali]

@@JB360_NYC if your motor magnets are 65mm it's ok! If it's 60 mm as mine, max power can give is 85-90% And make thicker your phase wires (10 awg or 8 awg) !!! Whatever your motors are!!😘

[@rickwu6005]

looking good

[@riceoobxg]

Hey JB. I commute a similar route as you. Are you still taking the Road Runner onto the SI Ferry regularly? If so, have they given you any trouble outside of that one incident?

[@JB360_NYC]

On the SI side they don't care about the pegs but I'm starting to think it's the Manhattan side that sort of look for it. The guy that gave me crap was the security dude in the late afternoon (like 7pm on) he looks just like Paul Mooney. I think before 7pm should be fine to get into the SI one. If they give you trouble you can just take the battery park one that goes to St. George (it's like 4 bucks) and they don't care about pegs.

[@Ebikeboogie]

Nothing like a cruise on the west side Highway on the late night #zoomiez

[@nokapboby3861]

I wanna move there now lol

[@juanmolyneaux6816]

hey do you have a vid of you installing each upgrade? I just bought the roadrunner pro would love the instructions! thanks in advance

[@JB360_NYC]

I hope to do one in the near future if Voro lets me get one of their stock bikes to work off of

[@flxthecat2735]

Great video JB!!! I'm loving those side panels (what those the writing on the panels mean? If you dont mind) According to what I hear with different officers, if you dont have pedals the bike ain't considered road legal. Is always a judgment call from the officer but places like Times Square where they like to do sweeps, no pedals kiss the bike good bye i been told. That V2 looks GREAT 👍👍💪💪🔥🔥🥰😍🤩 STAY FOCUS STAY SAFE STAY BLESS BRO

[@JB360_NYC]

Thanks bro! The Otaku word means "nerd/geek" and the other symbols on the other side say "Way of the Warrior." Yea our city is so crazy. Illegal mopeds and dirt bikes messed it up for us unfortunately.

[@flxthecat2735]

@@JB360_NYC NICE!!! ...yes indeed

[@raylivengood8040]

That looks real sketch. Glad you have great peripheral awareness 😅

[@s_989]

Sweet ride! But that is the worst spot on the bike to put the controller!😧 Please relocate the controller to above the battery somehow or on top of the frame between your knees 😩

[@BethePandaGames]

22:20 perks of an e-bike. 😆

[@TomL2025]

I saw safety issue when driving in the city

[@KenoshaCaptures]

I couldn’t tell but were you getting flashed by cameras when you were going fast? Looks like red light cameras or speed cameras like Chicago has.

[@JB360_NYC]

Yea it was lol

[@housedjnyc]

Yo this is super dope! Curious is it still dual motor? If so, are you wiring both controllers together to the battery? & is it both wires combined to the throttle? I plan to build a roadrunner up after two other e-bikes I’m building. Keep inspiring us brother!

[@JB360_NYC]

Yes still dual motor. My throttle is basically linked to the throttle for controller 1 and 2 so they work simultaneously. The signal wire is tapped into both controllers.

[@Trueecliptix]

Are these street legal in NYC? Live in BK. Looking to get one for myself. Great vid!

[@JB360_NYC]

Yes these are technically legal in NYC since they are categorized as a scooter. The only issue you will really face is getting on the Staten Island ferry where they only allow ebikes with pedals and stand up scooters.

[@GreenGrid]

Couldn't imagine hitting a pot hole on that 😶‍🌫️

[@trueformoblivion8557]

Wait that’s funny ur on Manhattan beach Blvd I can tell by the buildings in the back

[@JB360_NYC]

I wish lol. It's Staten Island but most of the vlog is in Manhattan NYC

[@trueformoblivion8557]

oh i swear that looks hella similar. That things cooks too@@JB360_NYC

[@Jaykilla1981]

Are electric scooters allowed on the ferry? Like dualtrons?

[@JB360_NYC]

Yup they are allowed. Any stand up scooter can get on

[@ridesharebiz5317]

If it has pedals, it's an ebike. Safety first.

[@thermodynamics1110]

wow its so small, i thought it was a fiido q1 at first

[@JB360_NYC]

Haha it pretty much is...same motors and all

[@SamuraiBlaqk]

the bike is from voromotors just tell the guy that at least

[@JB360_NYC]

Yea I showed him even on the site and he wasn't having it

[@i_hate_my_brother6911]

What hub motor and size?

[@JB360_NYC]

These are the 5kw, 12 inch hub motors from Lunyee econiccycles.com/products/motors-12-hub-motor-8-motor-with-12-x-3-tire-72v-5kw-dual-phase-inputs

[@jamesthebond0072]

Got a link for battery ? I’m Australia to

[@JB360_NYC]

My friend orders the batteries for these. You can reach Sal at [e-mail] or call him at [phone]. He usually answers his phone most of the time. Just tell him you're interested in the mini bike battery JB 360 has.

[@sc7453]

Is lane splitting legal there? They’ll run you off the road for trying that in Minneapolis

[@retrograde330]

What would be the difference between small and big tyres on that thing

[@JB360_NYC]

The biggest tire you can go on this frame is 14". Unfortunately there aren't many 14 inch motors that fit my frame that are high powered so these 12 inch motors are the only ones.

[@retrograde330]

@@JB360_NYC I’ve heard the saying one pothole or stone and its over, are bigger tyres more safer or efficient or is the difference not something to worry about?

[@retrograde330]

@@JB360_NYC also you should configure your battery in a 134v pack, you’ll gain greater efficiency and thus way more power, instead of hitting over 70, you’ll be hitting around 90

[@JB360_NYC]

@@retrograde330 the tire size definitely makes a difference. With smaller tires, if you hit a large enough pothole, your wheel doesn't have the size to roll over the pothole. The larger tires cover more ground and increase your chances of rolling over one without too much effect.

[@retrograde330]

@@JB360_NYC another random tip, a longer wheelbase leads to better stability at higher speeds, an example of this would be the solar e-clipse, though the turning may not be as great. Also also, if you haven’t already install motorcycle breaks on that thing cause its op. And if you were wondering going beyond 134v isn’t really worth it, for instance the difference between 134v and 360v battery configuration is only a gain of 1-3% efficiency, but the difference between 72v and 134v is way larger.

[@rickwu6005]

have you fix the fuse issue. I mean at such high speed, it is easy to cause wire burns right.

[@JB360_NYC]

No issues with the fuses as the phase wires are fairly thick and can handle the current.

Wow great success

What Is your top speed

I have a wolf king gt pro but I’m scared to ride it on the road u got any tips

[@JB360_NYC]

Wolf king gt is a beast! I would say definitely be prepared for any moves from cars and always try and be 3 steps ahead. As long as you watch out for cars blindspots you'll get more comfortable riding on the roads. Also, always assume everyone can't see you.

[@Pushing_peso_los_angeles_ca]

Dude I couldn't watch

[@robertoadames8430]

What exactly was the issue with the ferry and the pedals?

[@JB360_NYC]

So basically the Roadrunner is not considered a "stand up" scooter or even an E-bike (no pedals) so they wouldn't let me on. Those 2 categories are crucial for getting onto the ferry without any hassle. They pretty much considered the RR as a moped 😕

[@mark_M12]

How much money you put in to it

[@JB360_NYC]

This build cost me about $4000

[@boobiebug]

[@xavierguiang7332]

Is the dual crown suspension a direct fit or did you have to trim the frame?

[@JB360_NYC]

Direct fit for the stem. Just make sure you keep the original headset from the RR. Also I ended up replacing the quill stem inside as well to fit my new handlebars.
