31.7 mi estimated · 43 mi claimed
The claim is 1.4× the estimate. How this is worked out.
The Extreme GT took the VX2 platform and raised the peak motor output to 1,600 watts and the rider limit to 330 pounds, which is what turns a flat-city commuter into something that holds speed up a hill with a heavy rider aboard. VMAX rates it for a 33% grade. The 792 Wh GT pack was marginally larger than the VX2 Pro GT's, but VMAX no longer offers it: the VX2 Extreme is now sold only with the smaller LT and ST packs, so the range and price shown here describe a version you cannot buy new. Still no suspension, which at 25 mph is the scooter's defining compromise; running the tires below the factory 42 psi is the only way to soften it. Plastic frame protectors and an IPX6 rating make it unusually well armoured for a commuter, and VMAX's UL certification matters to people who have to store a scooter inside an apartment building.
