Roadrunner Rs5 MAX Tire Upgrade: Will 11" PMT Tires Fit on this Scooter???

This Roadrunner RS5 is riding perfectly now. Made my two typical upgrades, PMT tires and carbon fiber handlebar. Plus the optional steering damper really makes this scooter very stable. Great beefy build quality, the full review will be out after about 200 more miles!

Can the RS5+ 2.0 also be upgraded to 11 inch tires in the same manner?

[@peter.karundeng8841]

I wonder if i can upgrade my vsett 9+ too would you recommend?

[@rayreese7285]

As usual great review Brian

[@ScootaGang]

Thanks my dude!

[@TravelatorH8r]

What differences can you name if any in Split rim or solid rim? If you could choose which one what would you go with

[@Xineovii2003]

Would love your thoughts on this scooter vs a Nami Klima. Look at both of these and don’t know which way to go! Any help would be awesome. Great channel

[@yogantaryadi6704]

Do you have another video where you change the break of this scooter?

[@Ayo_Kev]

Very nice!! I might do this upgrade too since I got my first flat at 150 miles sadly, Ny streets suck lol. But definitely looking forward to the full review.

[@ScootaGang]

That's a bummer, yeah if you do this with the bead sealer like in this video around the edge of the rim it will hold air very very well. Plus you could put some tire sealant in it to prevent going further and really be flat resistant.

[@loum5143]

Yes want to see the review as soon as you can.I think after looking at numerous options in this class I want something well built and reliable.I want the MAX and looking forward to the review.Not to many reviews other than ginger on wheels which compared the new version vs last.I think I will prob get this and can't wait.Like the channel bro.Why does YT block emojis?Also add very interested in range.Reported around 30 miles realistic.Of course dependent on use and terrain.

[@ScootaGang]

30 miles of range for me might be possible at slower speeds, but I think its more around 25 miles at my pace and 200 lbs. Great range though equivalent to my Mukuta and Maxfun for sure no problems with range on this scooter, for this price point it's right there.

[@doublahh]

This video has single handly helped me to decide between the RS5 Max and the Vsett 10+R. Split rim is the way to go.

[@ScootaGang]

I used to agree with you but after riding both split rim and solid rim scooters it becomes obvious that the tube is the main point of failure. Having a tube might make the tire change easier, but you will have to change it more often. Tubeless tires rarely go flat in comparison they are just way more reliable. So yes at the end of the day, split rim is easier to change, but in reality you will prob spend more hours over the life of the scooter changing blown tubes versus the tubeless counterpart. Def something everyone should consider when buying a scooter, and if you have a scooter shop near you that can help mount the tires, it's not that expensive of a job.

[@TsDomain]

Just bought one.. and saying goodbye to my Tube Graveyard!

[@aptrm80]

Im thinking of upgrading my tires to PMT 10” or 11”?? & the shocks to EXA 291R 2000lbs with the Rebound adjustment. The Front EXA shock is 125mm instead of stock 120mm , do you think that extra 5mm would be enough to avoid the 11” tire rubbing as it will angle the swing arms slightly more.🤔 Back shock is the same 150mm so no issue Also would some spacers not allow the fender to fit with the 11” tires . I enjoy riding off road . Thanks 😊

[@MarkTruskolaski-bw4vf]

Will u do a review of this scooter the rs5 max

[@AydenDion]

Do you remember me at rabbit hill park with the black electric scooter. And we road around the park and your tires were flat and I was drifting on it.

[@ScootaGang]

Doubt that was me bro I've never heard of that park and I def don't ride on one flat tire let alone two lol sorry

[@Maxthafirst]

I have a RS5 Pro. I installed PMT tires also, love them, major upgrade.

[@mickp10]

Like the heat gun to loosen bolts tip

[@mtbse789]

Looks beefy. Fantastic!

[@KyleKick909]

I need to buy PMT tires. I've only been riding for 50 miles but I'm not liking the stock off-road tires. And off-roading a scooter isn't as fun as I thought it would be. At least not with a 60v 6000w scooter that weighs 100lbs.

[@ScootaGang]

These are superior in every way, highly recommend. Been riding PMT for like 3 years now on about 10 different scooters, it always massively improves your ride!

[@foxsinwolf7477]

Yeah I just put PMTs on my scooter a few weeks ago and I'm still loving it...

[@dinachoueiry6073]

@@foxsinwolf7477you know you downgraded in size… and comfort. The 65 number vrs the 55 will make better for bumps. And the pmt are 10.8 inch almost 11. Where the stock tires rs5 comes with are 10.9 but they post them as 10 inch for some weird ass reason But 85/65/6.5 is 10.9 inch tires 100/55/6.5 are 10.8

[@DT-Nicky]

​@@dinachoueiry6073I'm pretty sure that each PMT tire has their benefits, I think Fox was talking about the 10x3.50 PMT eFire tires which is a better option for any 10 inch wheeled scooter that can take the width of the tire in stride.

[@andrewbarratachea]

​@dinachoueiry6073 it's not that much of difference in size dude. PMT is still better than any nylon tire.

[@avoidingreality7]

Waiting on the 500 miles review brother! Thanks

[@Truth_Spoken]

Glass cleaner works great to help the tires slip on and off easier for those that are struggling. Those looked pretty easy to mount though.

[@ScootaGang]

Yeah you can if you need it, but makes it too slippery for me to be honest and ends up being more effort. These 11 inch tires slip over the rim so easily compared to small scooter tires

[@alexwyoungmusic]

Thinking about getting a RS5 MAX or a Mantis King GT. IS the Roadrunner just as good? I love how you can remove the battery and that also probably makes it easier to carry up flights of stairs lol. The 11inch tires seem like a great idea. Did you mean you shaved the shocks off a bit too so it would fit when you mentioned shaving something off a bit?

[@ScootaGang]

Review will be live in 2 hours for the RS5 Max. Long story short I definitely prefer the Max over the Mantis.

[@alexwyoungmusic]

@@ScootaGang Thanks I'll check it out :)

[@Mikehud1984]

Does your RS5 MAX also surge or feel like it sputters while accelerating in 3rd gear?

[@ScootaGang]

Try moving your brake lever and throttle a little bit away from each other. If they are too close the magnets in each can interfere with eachother. Noticed the same issue with this and the Maxfun 10 pro with the same throttle/brake combo.

[@Truth_Spoken]

@@ScootaGangI will have to try that on my MaxFun 10 Pro, along with these 11” tires

[@ScootaGang]

@@Truth_Spoken these tires won't fit on the maxfun 10 pro. only 10" tires will fit that rim. This scooter has a larger rim!

[@crispysocksss]

All scooters should come with split rims, you can replace a tire or tube in 20mins on the road.

[@AJCoReTV]

Tubeless do not suffer from constant flats like tubes.

[@crispysocksss]

@@AJCoReTV theres split rims for tubeless tires. They have a big oring in the middle the seal the rim.

[@ScootaGang]

No all scooters should just go tubeless, tubes literally have no advantage to any scooter imo. Just another failure point, that fails pretty often too

[@ElectricScooterMan]

1:00 that is what I love.

[@Jayfiftyfive]

What PSI you running?

[@ScootaGang]

35 psi, Max on the sidewall is 2.5 bar which is like 36 psi

[@semsemis]

I used both options on my scooter Laotie, the price was kit PMT 120 euro, GST kit 30 euro! Yes, PMT grip and ride softness on the road are better, but tire wear is twice as fast, in addition, PMT is slightly narrower than GST and in case of a puncture it is very dangerous, since the tire instantly loses air and it almost flies off the rim of the wheel, with a GST puncture you You won’t even feel it right away, and if the tire gets punctured, you can easily drive home at low speed. Conclusion - PMT tires are not for everyone; for practicality, GST is better

[@fredbruno]

Man I thought this was an axel thru

[@genxfeedback]

no fenders is a no go for me.

[@ScootaGang]

If you have to commute I get it, I could care less they don't do anything for me anyways

[@mzvarik]

why? nobody rides in rain anyways

[@thenightelectric]

​@@mzvarikguess I'm a nobody then.

[@themechanic4222]

There is something called ENGINEERING ❤. 10 is 10 and not 11

[@teddy_123.]

Hi

[@ScootaGang]

Yooo 🛴💨🛴💨

[@drzrider3440]

you do realize you put the tire on backwards right? The arrow on the sidewall designates the direction for the tire to spin. I have over 1000 miles on my RS5+. At first it had some brake issues right out of the box, but fixed those and no issues since.

[@ScootaGang]

It's correct, check again... I also put a 145 mm rotor on the front if you notice, and two shim washers, now the new pads make full contact and the scooter stops much better. Anyone with the Max can do this, not sure about your pro model how well your brake are aligned out of the box.

[@dinachoueiry6073]

I am no math wizard. But Isent the 85/65/6.5 tire size 10.9 inch. Vrs 100/55/6.5 is at 10.8 Making the stock one bigger tire. Only reason the other one looks bigger is because of the bulge. 😂. You down graded in size. But get the rubbing because one tire has more of a flat look They actually sell 11.1 inch tires 90/65/6.5 on there website roadrunner Oh also you put the tire on backwards 😂

[@onceuponareset-ho7fg]

Why does such a nice scooter come with such crappy tires? This would be a deal breaker for me.

[@icecorner87]

Soybooooooyyyy
