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 a little further up (the brake will then grip more firmly) or down (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 engine is running at low speed, only very little braking force is available here.
The recuperation brake is actuated by both brake levers. -
-
Disc brake
The VX4 is equipped with a mechanical disc brake on the rear wheel. Before your first ride, you should check that the brake runs freely and grips evenly.
ATTENTION:- You may hear slight noises when braking for the first time - the brake has to grind in first. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
- The brake disk can become hot while riding. Please do not touch it immediately after use.
-
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
All information on how to lock your scooter with a password or change the PIN can be found in our video:

Kickstart or Zerostart
This is how we refer to 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 operate the throttle when you are already rolling and both feet are securely on the footboard. In zero start, the scooter starts from a standstill. 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. To switch between the two modes, you will find the corresponding button on the dashboard of the VMAX E-SCOOTER app. -

Adjustable oil pressure suspension
The VX4 is equipped with adjustable oil pressure suspension at the front, which you can adjust to your weight or riding style. The setting is made using the adjustment screw on the suspension fork. The softest setting is set at the factory - recommended for a payload of approx. 60 kg. For more comfort or for higher weights you can set the suspension harder:- Factory setting (softest level) - recommended for approx. 60 kg
- approx. 4 turns - medium setting, recommended for approx. 90 kg
- approx. 8.5 turns - hardest setting, recommended for maximum load
Note: Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to make the suspension harder. Turn it anticlockwise to soften it.
-
USB port on the steering bridge
Your VX4 offers you the option of charging your cell phone while riding so that you can also use the navigation system 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 activate the power supply to the port.
