We had never heard about the VMAX VX4 but it quickly became one of our favorite all-terrain commuter scooters. The VMAX brand is new to the US market, but the popular Swiss brand has been producing electric scooters since 2015. Developed by Dany Dätwiler, whose family is renowned for crafting high-quality toys in the Swiss market, the VMAX brand was born out of a need.
Dany’s encounters with parking woes in Zurich, Switzerland led him to electric scooters, eventually paving the way for the creation of VMAX in 2015. Today, we take a closer look at VMAX’s flagship model, the VX4, blending Swiss engineering with modern electric mobility.
In this review, we walkthrough, take it for a spin, and tell you what we love and hate about the VMAX VX4.

The VX4 is back in stock, with an upgraded version of the scooter, so the top speed is now 25 mph 🚀
I drove the VX4 this morning. I haven't discovered the USB port yet. Thanks. VMAX has already released a few good scooters in Europe. They have their own factory in China. There are strict requirements in Europe for light and speed that this scooter meets.
Oh, hätte dich hier nicht erwartet xd 🔥
Thanks so much 🙂
Love love love the turning signals. Those look like they have more visibility than the wolf scooters. The folding mechanism is super neat as well, and that's a crazy display for a commuter scooter. If this were priced below $1000 I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
You’re paying for that ipx6 water resistance rating. Most scooters are ipx4 or ip54 which is much easier to do
@@berengerchristy6256 IPX6 all the way! We want you to just ride and not have to worry! 🙂
That is a very well made scooter. Looks like a cross between the new Segway and Gotrax scooter with the turn signals on the handlebars and a front suspension like a mountain bike.
Wow, your comment just made us very happy! And we fully agree - our scooters are really well made to the highest Swiss standards ;-)
Hello guys,Those seem to have high visibility Your service is top notch, I always enjoy it. 👍Reinforce the weld before painting ❤,
Thanks for the great review! Jimmy and Andrew - you guys rock! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thanks for the opportunity.
I own the VMAX VX4 ST (being the least heavy one w. 60 lbs (27 Kg), I agree with what was said in the video. I was digging for a lot of e-scooters that fit my needs, to become my daily driver to run errands. I utilized generative A.I. to find the one that matched my needs & must-have list. Versatility, durability (there ARE some shitty roads/bike trails where I live), endurance were my main concern but it had to be still capable to be hauled around. The VX4 checked all the boxes, minus the weight. Unfortunately, my VX4 is locked to 12.5 mph (20kmh) as I'm a German resident - I wish it go faster though 😅.
I'm sure the UI is just a software patch via USB-stick away. I like that it doesn't require a smartphone, that it is independent from that. The only complaint I have is the weight (I live in an apartment on the 4th floor - no elevator) and that the latching mechanism in the rear for the folded down handlebar is indeed too sensitive. I'd have liked to see a sort of manual trigger-based release mechanism. Yes their prices is a bit steep (i.e. a replacement charger cost only a third off Amazon, being standard(ized) China-ware to begin with) but so far I'm having fun with its capabilities, even at cold temperature below 0 C.
I have a VX5 GT (more compact model), it's super solid and has great performance for its weight and price. Also the throttle controller is very precise, has a nicer feel than the one on my previous ninebot. I guess the VX4 has a similar controller. Only bummer is it's limited to 22 km/h in Switzerland 😭
The weight limit should say a lot. 330 pounds on a 10” scoot means it’s pretty solid
it is quite solid. you're not shaken up as much as with other scooters, when you drive over those decades old, broken up, pavement
Our scooters are very very solid! We believe in our products so much we also offer a 24-month warranty.
I really like the blinkers on the hand grips
Thanks so much! We like them too ❤.
Really nice commuter scooter. Pricey, but nice
A sensible, safe, well-built scooter. Like this one...but sometimes we just wanna ride something just a wee bit fast and ridiculous🙄😁
The Swiss must be more safe and sensible than the Americans.
We hear you :-)
Interesting features, a bit heavy..
Have you guy’s thought about reviewing something like the Greenworks 60V mini ebike ?
I bought one, and waiting for delivery. Pretty good deal for 60V 16Ah and 3000w peak 😁.
*I’d really like to see you two do a review on it.
What no one seems to want to review is the technology of the front and rear suspension
Please do a review of the 2Swift scooter!
I would get this over the ninebot max anyday because of the excellent battery. Very large for a commuter scooter.
I think some scooter companies believe PAS means Power Assist. That's not the only company I've seen with PAS on the screen. Or, they just added bike displays, lol.
I want to get this to go to gym. Is it possible to lock it to a bike rack? I am looking for an e-scooter which is very lockable.
Is a reduction of the maximum speed possible ? What is the minimum possible speed ?
Thanks
What’s up guys I love your videos. I just want some feedback. I just ordered a Teverun blade GT two version. What do you think of the company and of the scooter would really love to have some feedback one of you guys just want to make sure I made a good purchase.
7:27 🦆wanted to be included in the film
lol, it was hilarious having the duck walk up right next to me. We forgot to add that to our edit because it came within a few feet of me curious about the Swiss engineering.
@@Andrew-vt4jt 😆
I can't decide between this and the Segway G2 Max. I'm in Los Angeles where they both have stores. Which scooter would you recommend please? I can get them for within $100 of each other.
Please review of kugoo g4 they are supposed to be the best single wheel drive electric scooter
Good stuff as usual guy's. Thanks #FLINKO
Appreciate it!
I like the features on it. Just need it to go at least 40mph faster
I would never go so fast with a escooter, thats just stupid. Crash and its game over.
@@nosse5232 same goes for any 2 wheeler or even a vehicle. Some are ready to feel the wind while others are ok with going slow and that's fine too. It's all preference but for me it's knowing I can go over 60 is cool for me or id rather go for a walk
Thanks for the great feedback!
technically, it can. The motor is very capable of doing so (I believe it's rated 1650 Watts but is slowing itself down electronically. Just dialing the power itself up when going uphill or a heavy person is riding it). But usually legal limits are the barrier here. Not to mention past 20-25 mph it becomes very difficult to handle in sudden precarious situations. Just yesterday I almost slammed into a car, who took my right-away at a crossing in which he had to wait. I even had my lights on in broad daylight. If I'd have been faster, I would not have been able to brake fast enough to a full stop.
These guys make a dual motor scooter. Nominal output of the motors is 450 watts, unclear what peak power output is. It only has an ipx5 water resistance rating, down from the ipx6 rating of the model featured in this video. Seems like Apollo did well with their city pro for it to have an ip66 dust and water resistance rating. If only it had disc brakes instead of drum brakes
Guys if you can make a review on that new nanrobot R6 or the new nanrobot RS5 max? The R6 on rydology website is a 72V 24AH battery with advanced 21700 cells. But have no clue why RoadRunner doesnt have that R6 on there inventory. 🤔
RoadRunner stopped their partnership with Nanrobot. All the Nanrobot scooters you buy from them will have older batteries which isn’t a great thing for scooters.
Since when have Kuckucks clocks come from switzerland ?
$1500 and 62 pounds.... I would pay a little more for an Apollo City dual motor
sorry, no cocoo clocks in switzerland:-))
WHAT DO YEE DO WITH ALL THESE EBIKES AND SCOOTERS YOU GET AND REVIEW WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THEM ❓❓❓
And does it normally take over 30 days to receive after purchasing?
No it doesn't! We are shipping all of our scooters form our USA headquarters in Los Angeles. So delivery should only take a few business days!
Do you think Teverun blade gt is a good scooter?
First! Also it's fitting that I feel neutral about this.
🤣
The scooter goes faster if you change the firmware.
But in switzerland, it is against the law to go faster than 22 km/h with such a scooter on road traffic. That's why.
Was ein Helm habt ihr beide. Könnt ihr mir ein link geben bitte
They don't ship here in UAE. 😭
It ain't a Watch so. hmmm.
DID VERY THROUGH REVIEW !!!!!!!
We fully agree! Go Freshly Charged!!
In Switzerland, security is on another level... you can use the kickscooter on the normal road at max : 20km/h, the total motor (all motors together !!) must be max 500Watts (25km/h is tolerated but policemen are almost everywhere in all regions - every 1km you will see the police in the city - a bit less outside cities)... trust me if you drive 100km/h in the city... I think that 3 min after, you will have troubles. :) I have never heard of this brand in Switzerland...
Looks like another bog standard whitelabel scooter. I seriously doubt that they actually have their own engineers.
Not only do we have our own engineers, we have our own factory! Nothing white label about this.
the display looks like it might attract causal vandalism.
BS ON FULL!
0:50 Those handlebar grips are next level ugly
😞
AVOID VMAX!!!... ive had nothing but problems and lies since i placed an order back on Nov 24th.. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE... still trying to get a refund and have opened a claim against..
👎👎👎👎👎 Vmax vx4 👎👎👎👎👎
warum? Schlechte Erfahrung gemacht? Welchen würdest du zum Vergleich nennen? IO Hawk ist zu klobig und wartungsintensiv
@@c.brimstone8906 elite X oder in deinem fall denn Fritz oder noch etwas warten auf egrit mit Federung
I like this scooter
I even want to buy it
I am unsure about the company
I have @ the VMAX website 'Chat' box
left three messages, over several weeks time
and never received an answer. the only option @ the site is: FIRST, give us your money
kugoo g booster cost 800 pounds has a 23ah battery peak power 2400w dual motor , this scooter is a rip off i feel too buy another kuggo g booster for the future toatal price 1600 pounds sounds like a great deal too me
