VMAX VX2 Lite
No citable customer rating — see how we compare.
20 mi estimated · 31 mi claimed
The claim is 1.6× the estimate. How this is worked out.
The cheapest way into suspension on a VMAX: the VX2 Lite pairs a 47 mm oil-damped front fork and a rear elastomer with a 500 W motor and 10-inch tubeless tires for $799. It sits below the VX2 Pro and Hub and shares their 287 lb rider limit. The base 10.4Ah, 499 Wh pack claims 31 miles; at the 25 Wh/mi rule of thumb that is nearer 20, which is fine for a daily commute under 10 miles each way. A 874 Wh version with a 56-mile claim is $200 more and is the better buy for anyone with a longer ride. Against the Segway Ninebot Max G2 class of scooter, it gives up the sealed-in battery and brand polish and gets full suspension and turn signals in return. The brake is a front drum with rear regen only, so stopping power is the compromise to know about.

35-55 lb — you can lift it into a boot or over a kerb, not carry it far. Estimated range is our own calculation from the battery capacity; the claim is the manufacturer’s.

- 287 lb rider limit
- 28% claimed grade from a 1,400 W peak motor
