Buying e-scooter in Switzerland – what to consider

When buying an e-scooter, four main factors determine whether the model suits you: road registration, range, weight, and service. If you use the e-scooter in everyday life or for commuting, you need a road-registered model with sufficient range and a weight that is easy to carry and store. Equally important, but often underestimated: What happens after the purchase if a spare part or repair is needed? At VMAX, you can order e-scooter spare parts directly from us.

Check road registration first

Not every e-scooter is allowed on public roads in Switzerland. Models with a maximum of 500 W and 20 km/h, equipped with lighting, two brakes, and a bell are permitted. Our VX models meet these requirements – the R-series is intended solely for private areas. Therefore, always pay attention to whether you want to use the e-scooter on the road or only off-road before purchasing. Here you will find the e-scooter rules for Switzerland.

Match range and weight to your use

For short city routes, a lightweight, compact model is sufficient; for longer commuting routes, more range is worthwhile. Since the real range depends on rider weight, topography, and temperature, you should plan a buffer when purchasing. You can see the range, power, and weight of all VMAX e-scooters at a glance through the model comparison. Find the suitable e-scooter for commuters here.
