How much power does your VMAX need?
The power of a e-scooter determines how fast and powerful it is - and is specified in watts (W). All VMAX e-scooters VX range have a maximum rated power of 500 Wwhich can be increased to up to 800-1600 W peak power (peak) can be increased. This keeps you legally compliant on the road (Switzerland & Germany) and still have enough power for the city, tours or climbs.
What does performance mean with a VMAX e-scooter?
The performance of your VMAX scooter is made up of several factors:
- Rated power (watts): The continuous motor power is at legally compliant 500 W (does not apply to our racing models).
- Peak power (peak): Short-term maximum power for acceleration, inclines or payload - depending on the model up to 1600 W.
Why is 500 W rated power important?
In the Switzerland and Germany e-scooters may be used in public spaces up to a maximum of 500 W rated power in order to be operated legally. Therefore all VMAX VX models are designed to meet this requirement. Thanks to modern technology, they still deliver a additional peak performancewhen you need it - e.g. on inclines or when setting off.
Which power suits you?
| Model | Peak power (Peak) | Max. Payload | Gradient | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VX5 PRO | 800 W | 120 kg | 25 % | up to 40 km |
| VX2 PRO | 1200 W | 130 kg | 28 % | up to 60 km |
| VX2 EXTREME ★ Bestseller | 1600 W | 150 kg | 33 % | up to 70 km |
| VX4 | 1600 W | 150 kg | 33 % | up to 100 km |
Tips for optimizing performance
- Look after your battery properly: Charge regularly, avoid deep discharge
- Optimize tire pressure: Less rolling resistance = more efficiency
- Travel light: Less weight means more range
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about performance
Which VMAX is the most powerful?
The VMAX VX4 with 1600 W peak and up to 100 km range is ideal for touring & inclines - closely followed by the VX2 EXTREMEwhich also offers 1600 W peak and is particularly compact and sporty.
How does the peak power benefit me?
More power for inclines, acceleration & payload - exactly when you need it.
How many watts do I need for climbs?
For gradients of up to 33%, we recommend models with 1600 W peak such as the VX2 EXTREME or VX4.
Conclusion
With 500 W rated power you are in Switzerland and Germany fully compliant with the law on the road - and thanks to up to 1600 W peak power VMAX still offers you plenty of power when it counts.
So your e-scooter the best of legality & performance.
