VMax VX2 Gear

Manufacturer: Vmax

The VMax VX2 Gear is a full-sized electric scooter built around a capable motor and a practical feature set suited to everyday urban riding. It comes equipped with suspension and pneumatic 10″ tires, which work together to absorb road irregularities, and the scooter supports folding for easier transport and storage. Front and rear lights are included, and a dedicated smartphone app allows riders to interact with the scooter digitally. The unit carries an IPX6 water resistance rating and is designed for adult riders, with a maximum load capacity of 130 kg.

Powering the VMax VX2 Gear is a 1400W motor paired with a 499 Wh battery that delivers a maximum range of 65 km per charge. The charge time is rated at 2.5 hours, and the scooter supports regenerative braking, which feeds energy back into the battery during deceleration. A battery level indicator is built in for at-a-glance monitoring. Braking is handled by both a front and a rear brake, and the top speed reaches 35 km/h. The scooter weighs 22,588 g and measures 1,325 mm in height and 1,154 mm in width.

Pros
  • Regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration, contributing to the 65 km maximum range
  • Full recharge takes only 2.5 hours, which is relatively quick for a 499 Wh battery
  • Both front and rear brakes are present, providing dual stopping points for improved control
  • IPX6 water resistance rating means the scooter can handle strong water jets without damage
  • The scooter folds, making it practical to carry onto public transport or store in tight spaces
  • Front and rear lights are built in, supporting visibility during low-light riding
Cons
  • At 22,588 g, the scooter is quite heavy, which limits how practical the folding feature is when carrying it
  • The battery is not removable, meaning the entire scooter must be brought to a power source for charging
  • A single motor is used rather than dual motors, which reduces traction and torque distribution
  • The scooter does not include a seat, which may reduce comfort on longer rides
Who is this for?

This scooter suits adult commuters who need a reliable daily rider for moderate urban distances, given its 65 km maximum range and 2.5-hour charge time. The IPX6 water resistance rating makes it a practical choice for riders in environments where rain or wet conditions are common. The inclusion of suspension, pneumatic tires, and dual braking also makes it a reasonable fit for riders navigating mixed urban terrain, while the folding mechanism adds convenience for those who need to combine the scooter with other forms of transport.

Who is this NOT for?

At 22,588 g, the scooter is unlikely to suit users who frequently need to carry it up stairs or over longer distances on foot, as the weight largely undermines the practicality of folding. Riders who require a seated riding position for comfort on longer trips will find this scooter unsuitable, as no seat is included. The single-motor setup and 35 km/h top speed also mean it is not well-matched for users seeking high-torque performance or faster travel on open roads, and the non-removable battery is a drawback for anyone who cannot easily bring the full scooter to a charging point.

The VMax VX2 Gear is powered by a single 1400W motor — it does not use a dual-motor configuration — and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h. Stopping power is provided by both a front and a rear brake, giving the rider control at either end of the scooter. The maximum supported rider weight is 130 kg.

Battery:

charge time 2.5 hours
maximum distance per charge 65 km
has a battery level indicator ✓
Has regenerative braking ✓

battery size 499 Wh

The VMax VX2 Gear is equipped with a 499 Wh battery that supports a maximum range of 65 km on a single charge, with a full recharge taking 2.5 hours. The battery is not removable. A battery level indicator is built in so riders can monitor remaining charge at a glance, and the scooter features regenerative braking, which recovers energy during deceleration and feeds it back into the battery.

Final Verdict

The VMax VX2 Gear is a well-specified adult electric scooter that delivers a solid combination of range, weather resistance, and practical commuter features. Its 65 km maximum range paired with a relatively short 2.5-hour charge time makes it a capable option for regular urban use, and the IPX6 rating, dual brakes, suspension, and built-in lighting round out a feature set that holds up well in real-world riding conditions. That said, its considerable weight tempers the usefulness of the folding design, and the absence of a seat or removable battery will be limiting factors for certain users. On balance, the VMax VX2 Gear is best suited to adult riders who prioritize range and durability over lightweight portability, and for that specific use case, it presents a coherent and reasonably complete package.
