You can tell this is a serious scooter by looking at the controls buttons, placed directly to rider's finger tips as it should be.
Pleasantly surprised as well that it shows Wattage and Volts on the main dashboard, very useful yet a rarity among scooters.
Add the excellent riding quality and this is for sure one of the best one motor scooters currently.
Personally, I don't need higher than 25mph speed.

Kudos to VMax, great job guys.👏👏

That is probably the best display I've seen on a scoot that costs less than 2k dollars.

first gen VX4 owner here from the E.U. - there is another latch trick, beside jamming a pen into the latching hook: use keychain rings. a small one directly for the latch and a larger one (that's linked into the smaller one) to slide it under the 'second, lower hook' of the latching hook. It doesn't slide out, inexpensive to do/get and is easy to attach/detach for carrying by hand. What I'd love to see is a beeper when the turning likes are turned on to have an audio feedback.

This was the best review of this scooter yet! Different classes of scooter of course but the Apollo Go's limited range was the only deal breaker for me. Unfortunately for myself and VMAX, the VX4 GT also has a deal breaker, the top speed. It's a small shame because I love everything else about this scooter from every review I've seen. The IPX6 rating, the display, the range, the build quality and suspension, even the price point with RiderGuide discount.... all superb! On the down side, the "slowest" long range "scooter than I own is the Emove Cruiser S which would sail past the VX4 at double walking pace. It's not that the speed is necessary all the time or even most the time, it's just nice to have when you need / want it. At perhaps a "knot" over NIU KQi 300X speed, I'm not sure that a 65.5lb, $1350, 24mph scooter can occupy a coveted 5th spot in my garage. If it eked out even another 4-5mph however, I could probably justify adding it to the stable as a more modern, single motor brother to the Cruiser S for riding with family and friends.

Thought experiment: The GOTRAX GX2 costs less right now, could probably accomplish the same 29.5mi trip (going the same speeds), has10mph faster top speed!! ...would accelerate more quickly, climb hills faster, stop in a shorter distance and likely has the superior suspension. Yes, it's 10lbs heavier (which really only maters when carrying) but that's a lot of categories that the VX4 is up against just to mention another similarly priced unit. I mean, if you knew you were going to leave your house and only go 30miles, and knew you'd have steep hills, curbs hops, ruts and potholes, some damp streets and a 1-2 mile detour on hard pack trails, would you take the VX4 or a GX2?

Thanks so much! You guys make the best reviews of electric scooters on youtube.

Awesome Paul! VMAX Vx2 Pro owner here!

[RCDevotee]

Thanks Paul and Raimier! That was a lot of effort and information. I used to do that lap around SF on my Dualtron during BAESK8 group rides but do it now on my EUC in smaller groups or on my own. It is a great ride but even more fun if you have a PEV that can keep up with street traffic (35MPH+). There are a lot of sections where you would have to be on the sidewalk or in an exposed bike lane with slower PEVs.

[alexisjavier]

I feel like people keep forgetting about how good the emove cruiser still is in today's market, 33mph top speed, huge deck, full suspension, huge 30ah battery that gives you around 30 to 35 miles of range on the fastest mode and best of all its currently, $1200. Yall should do a revisit review of it.

[DaniHorwitz]

Nice! Great scooter! Great review. Well done Paul and ESG!

[chaxologist]

Holy cow! You just surpassed 100K subs and exponentially faster!
Congrats and can't wait for you to present your Silver Play Button in your office!
This scooter is a beast and a fierce Apollo City Pro contender!

[mackygreen]

*_Wow! You know you're in for a great treat (electric scooter review) when you see one that exceeds half an hour from Paul, Ramier and the ESG/RG Team. This is an excellent scooter. Setting the Segway Ninebot Max as the standard or point of reference, this is a level up. I love the display, the long range and IP rating, also include the turn signals and front/rear suspensions. It would have been (almost) perfect if they made puncture-proof self-healing pneumatic tires, too, like that of our reference. RS always, guys. BTW, SF is a beautiful city._*

The trailing front wheel design caught my attention within the first 15 seconds of the video

Thanks for a very informative and well made video. I have been on the fence about getting an alternative means of transportation. My job is around 6 miles from home, so my 12 mile round trip is not really a commute (if you can even call it that), but I want to be less dependent on fossil fuel. Besides, watching all these videos makes me feel I’m missing out on something. It just looks so much fun riding it!
I have it in my cart now and using the discount code you provided, not much but any penny counts. What convinced me is the range (I can go places other than work and not worry about parking!!) and seeing Ramier on it. I am 230 lbs so other brands I have checked out top out at max 265 so it’s too close to my weight.
I really like your gear too. I will definitely need a helmet or my wife will not let me go outside and play. Any recommendations? I’m digging the motorcycle helmets I’ve seen you guys wear. Where can I get one? Thank you for helping me make my decision.

[naseradnan]

Very awesome review and still waiting for that VMAX R40 PRO review

[charlestan]

Fantastic video Paul. Would Raemaer been able to complete the same SF Loop on the VX4?

[TheBoston]

Great video! You guys should do more like these. Cheers!

[samwu]

Put another 500w motor in the front with 3, 200w combined peak, 35mph top speed and you'll have a serious City Pro competitor likely with better range.

[jlewis]

Are you going to review the Roadrunner RX7 soon? It is supposed to ship at the end of this month. Can't wait to see it!

[antarakakayano]

Low watt motors = more strain on the motor, especially on hills. More heat on long rides = less durability. Straining motor uses more electricity 😮 Higher watt motors will last longer, with less stress and heat up hills, and less heat and stress on long rides🎉 Faster scooters can quickly get you out of the path of a fast approaching car.
