Your parcel has just arrived!
We're just as pleased as you are. But before you get started, there are a few important things to consider:
-
Tire pressure
During the time in the box, the tires may have lost some pressure. Riding with too little pressure can cause a lot of damage to the scooter, as an important task of the tires is to cushion the scooter.
Therefore, be sure to pump up both tires before your first ride. Depending on the weight of the rider, the tire pressure should be between 2.5 and 3.0 bar.
-
Drum brake
The mechanical drum brake of the scooter must be adjusted to your weight before riding.
To do this, turn the adjustment wheel at the bottom of the Bowden cable either slightly upwards (the brake will then grip more firmly) or downwards (the brake will then grip more gently).
-
Recuperation brake
The electric motor brake is a recuperation brake. If the scooter is switched off or the motor has a low speed, there is only a very low braking force.
To prevent the scooter from rolling away on a slope, for example, always use the left combination brake.
-
App connections
The app provides you with lots of useful information about your scooter and helps you to plan your tours, including charging stops, in advance. The app is purely optional and not essential for using the scooter.
To connect your scooter to your cell phone via Bluetooth, you need the VMAX E-SCOOTER app (available for iOS and Android). -

Pin lock

Kickstart or Zerostart
This is what we call the two start modes of the scooter. We recommend Kickstart, especially for inexperienced riders. In this mode, the scooter does not start when you simply press the throttle; instead, the scooter must already be rolling. In this mode, you start off as if you were riding a scooter and only press the throttle when you are already rolling and both feet are securely on the footboard. In zero start, the scooter starts off when stationary. As the drive comes from the rear wheel, the front wheel can rise into the air if you have your weight on the back of the scooter. Kickstart is activated by default. If you prefer to ride off when stationary, you can switch to Zerostart in the VMAX E-SCOOTER app.

Automatic light system
Press and hold the light button on the scooter for approx. 2 seconds to activate the automatic light system. The light then switches on or off automatically - depending on the ambient brightness - and the brightness of the display is also adjusted automatically. This is controlled via the integrated light sensor below the display. If you want to switch the light on or off manually via the app, the automatic light function on the scooter must be deactivated.

USB port on the steering bridge
Your VX2 Gear offers you the option of charging your cell phone while riding so that you can also use the navigation on long tours. A USB-C port is installed below the left-hand control unit for this purpose. To use this connection, plug the cable and your cell phone into your scooter when it is switched off and only then switch on your scooter. This is the only way to enable the power supply to the connection.
