VMAX VX2 Pro GT: the case against
- No suspension at all, at 24 mph
- 8.5-hour charge
- Front drum plus regen is the only braking
- The GT pack that gives it this range is the dearer of the two VMAX sells
VMAX VX2 Lite: the case against
- Base 499 Wh pack is modest: expect around 20 miles in regular riding
- Front drum with rear regen only, no mechanical rear brake
- 48.3 lb is not a casual carry
- The 874 Wh pack takes 9 hours to charge, against 5 for the base pack
