The accurate range alone makes it worth the money 👌

A small converting error guys, 36.8 lbs = 16.6 kg not 59.2kg.

One of the comments inspired me to hill test my vx5 pro more thoroughly since that part was left out of the video. I took it up the two steepest hills in my neighborhood, length and angle of incline courtesy of the new york cycle club. The first was ~500 ft long with an average incline of 8.4 degrees. The scooter climbed it with no apparent struggle. The speed (according to the vmax app) didn’t dip below 10.5mph (except when I ran into a pothole at the end) and peaked around 12mph. The second hill was both steeper and significantly longer, coming in at .34 miles long at an average incline of 9.5 degrees. The parts at the beginning and end were steeper, i would guess at least 10 degrees, though I didn’t have the tools to measure it exactly. This one was harder, but the scooter made it up, ranging from 9.7-11mph the entire way. Though it was slow, it never felt like it was in danger of giving out or losing forward momentum. The battery was at 100% when I hit the first hill, and 85% when I hit the second hill. Would definitely not recommend attempting a hill as steep and long as the second one with less than half battery. Speaking of which, the exercise drained my battery much faster than a regular ride; the battery was at 59% after 5.5 miles when I got home afterwards, projecting a range of about 13.4 miles. Earlier today, I rode 14 miles over more level ground and still had 30% battery when I got home, projecting a range of 20 miles (I have the ST model, which is only supposed to give you 17 miles of range- I expect the inflated number is due to the fact I’m going off the app’s odometer numbers which are no doubt optimistic). I did both rides at as close to top speed as I could accounting for traffic lights/pedestrians and such. In other words, definitely no powerful hill climber but able to get the job done when called upon and definitely impressive for the $500 price tag. Overall, I’m very happy with the scooter, especially considering the low price tag. Hope this helps!

When are you gonna make a review for the new EMove Cruiser V2?
Been waiting on that bad boy for a while.

Mitchell, those squinty eyes in the sunlight give me Napoleon Dynamite vibes haha great review. I just hit over 1000 miles on my MaxG2 yesterday! Cheers!

Please review the new Segway ZT3 and how it holds up to similar Segways.

Great review! Thumbs up to VMAX for its app perfection. In contrast, I found the KQi3 Max so aggravating that I got rid of the scooter after a year then passed on the 300X when it it was released. Loved the quality, style, ride and mechanical features... despised the app. The VMAX VX2 Pro GT replaced my KQI3 Max, where it's used as a "car trip" vacation scooter. Such a great, compact, range-y scooter for when you don't want to deal with the weight or bulk of a dual motor sport scooter.

I love this scooter

Got it during 4th of July sale but TBO I’d buy full retail

It’s a terrific scooter

Can't wait for you guys to review the VX2 Extreme and see how it compares to the Pro! I love a simple, lightweight scooter that has great range, acceleration and hill climbing.

[wildwingckan]

Will you be performing a hill test review on this VX5 Pro? That's actually the part I'm most interested in. Thank you for all the great work your channel does!

[lim.]

So I’ve been looking at the Hover-1 Renegades but I can’t find anyone who’s done an in-depth review

[Chasem]

How bout the VX2 Extreme? Is that coming soon per chance? :D

[ItsYoYoHo]

I'll never buy 36 volts scooters because 48 volts scooters have more torque power, at the same price.

[hi-tych]

I'd rather have my scooter bind to my account. If someone steals it, ypu gotta show proof of it being yours etc.

[Lumps]

Quick question y'all. Does the fluid vista have similar real life range to the fluid horizon?

[David-gsvw]

I’m a 14 shoe size would I have enough space

[GalileoDavinci-dpyt]

The performance is too low for 2024. Good Price? Not considering battery prices have come way down from just a few years ago.

[hecker]

You guys should review the Engwe y600 600w electric scooter
