Quick Answer: The EMOVE Touring — Voro Motors’ 39.6-lb, $799 lightweight commuter with a 500W motor and 624Wh LG battery — has been discontinued. It now sits on Voro Motors’ own Discontinued products page (still listed with 138 customer reviews), with only refurbished units left for sale on a final-sale basis with a 6-month warranty; Voro Motors points buyers to the newer EMOVE Cruiser V2 instead. Independent testing from RiderGuide measured a top speed of 21.5 mph against the scooter’s rated numbers, and a real-world range around 18.7 miles versus its 32-mile maximum claim — and found a real design weakness worth knowing before buying one refurbished: every bit of braking comes from the rear wheel alone.
If you’ve seen the EMOVE Touring mentioned elsewhere on this site — it’s the “light, simple alternative” in our EMOVE Cruiser V2 review’s lineup comparison — that mention is now out of date. Here’s what changed, what the scooter actually delivered while it was current, and whether a refurbished unit still makes sense.
EMOVE Touring by the numbers
- Discontinued, not just sold out. Voro Motors lists the Touring on its own dedicated Discontinued products page at its final $799 price, with 138 accumulated customer reviews still attached to the listing — this isn’t a temporary out-of-stock, it’s an official end-of-life.
- 624Wh battery, 500W motor — a 48V 13Ah LG lithium-ion pack that, per RiderGuide’s teardown, was one of the better-specced batteries in its $799-$899 price class during its production run.
- 21.5 mph tested top speed / 18.7 miles tested range — both below the scooter’s rated maximums (widely listed as 25 mph and 32 miles), per RiderGuide’s independent road test.
- No front brake at all — braking is rear-wheel-only, combining a mechanical drum brake with regenerative braking, a limitation RiderGuide specifically called out as reducing stopping performance.
EMOVE Touring vs. its replacement, the EMOVE Cruiser V2
| Spec | EMOVE Touring (discontinued) | EMOVE Cruiser V2 (current) |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Discontinued, refurbished only | Current, in stock |
| Price | $799 (final list price) | ~$1,199 (52V single-motor trim) |
| Weight | 39.6 lbs | 74-85 lbs |
| Motor | 500W, single, rear-mounted | 1000W single or dual 1000W |
| Battery | 624Wh (48V 13Ah LG) | Up to 1,566Wh (30Ah LG 21700 cells) |
| Top speed (rated) | 25 mph | 33-44 mph depending on motor config |
| Range (rated) | 32 mi | Up to 62 mi |
| Brakes | Rear drum + regen only, no front brake | Hydraulic (hybrid or 2-piston) |
| Suspension | Front + rear spring | Quad suspension |
The comparison makes the “replacement” framing a little misleading: the Cruiser V2 isn’t a direct successor so much as a heavier, longer-range, meaningfully more expensive scooter. Buyers who liked the Touring specifically for its 39.6-lb portability and sub-$800 price aren’t really being offered an equivalent — they’re being offered a different category of machine.
EMOVE Cruiser V2 (Voro Motors' current recommendation)
- Up to 62 miles rated range and 33-44 mph top speed depending on the single- or dual-motor configuration you choose.
- Quad suspension and hydraulic brakes — both meaningful upgrades over the Touring's spring suspension and rear-only drum brake.
- 74-85 lbs — no longer a lightweight, stair-carry scooter like the Touring was.
Should you buy a refurbished EMOVE Touring?
- Buy refurbished if the discount against a comparable new $799-$899 lightweight commuter is significant, and you’re comfortable with a final-sale, 6-month-warranty purchase rather than a full manufacturer warranty. The core spec sheet — 624Wh battery, front-and-rear suspension — held up respectably against competitors while the model was current. That 6-month coverage actually sits at the longer end of what refurbished scooters typically get — see our electric scooter refurbished guide for how Voro Motors’ warranty compares to Amazon Renewed, Segway, and Gotrax’s own refurb programs.
- Skip it if you want front-wheel braking. RiderGuide’s finding that the Touring has zero front brake is a real limitation, not a nitpick, and it doesn’t change on a refurbished unit.
- Skip it if long-term parts support matters to you. Voro Motors still sells Touring spare parts today, but discontinued-model parts availability typically narrows over time — budget for that risk against whatever discount you’re getting.
- Consider the EMOVE RoadRunner SE instead if you want a currently-produced, similarly-priced ($799) EMOVE scooter with full manufacturer support rather than a discontinued model — it’s a different seated form factor, but it fills the same budget-EMOVE price slot new.
The bottom line
The EMOVE Touring was a genuinely well-specced $799 lightweight commuter for most of its production run — a 624Wh battery and real suspension at a price where both are often cut corners — but Voro Motors has now moved it to the company’s own Discontinued page, and new units are gone for good. What’s left is refurbished stock on final-sale terms, a rear-only braking system that was always its weakest point, and a “replacement” in the EMOVE Cruiser V2 that’s really a heavier, pricier, longer-range scooter rather than a like-for-like swap. If the Touring’s light weight and sub-$800 price are what drew you to it, our EMOVE RoadRunner SE review covers the closest currently-sold alternative in the same lineup.
