Not a city worker, just someone excited to see something new for everyone. Feels like the city is shifting from doing everything itself to enabling neighborhoods to shape their own spaces. Pittsburgh feels like a city where this could work because people already care about their neighborhoods. Depends heavily on whether the city actually follows through after collecting input though.

First ride on the RoadRunner V3 in light drizzle in Pittsburgh and dude i get it now. This thing is ridiculous in the best way.

Tiny frame tiny wheels crazy nimble feels more like an automatic kid’s bike on steroids than anything serious. I naturally rode it like a bike not a motorcycle or scooter and that made everything click—it’s more than enough power that way.

When I had to get on the sidewalk and tightly maneuver around people single motor was perfect. Initially I thought it would be pointless and I’d keep it dual all the time but it was actually so clutch to use the same thumb to swap between eco and rocket.

On the wet on hills dual motor gets spicy FAST. Front and rear can be manipulated with the brakes and brake cut-off sensor, sliding around in a way equal parts sketchy equal parts fun. You feel everything on these tiny 14” wheels and the lean is kinda scary not gonna lie.

I had to tighten a bunch of screws out of the box and the brakes needed some love but once it was dialed in it was insanely fun.

Overall first impression is this is not a serious commuter machine. It’s a fun, precise, goofy, little device. It’s the borderline between toy and commuter vehicle.

Also it rattles a lot. I think it’s the fenders. Buyer beware I guess
