How much power does your VMAX need?
An e-scooter’s power determines how fast and powerful it is—and is measured in watts (W). All E-Scooter the VMAX VX series have a maximum rated power of 500 W, which can be increased to a peak power of up to 800–1,600 W depending on the situation. This ensures you stay within legal limits (Switzerland & Germany) while still having enough power for city riding, longer trips, or hills.
What does "power" mean for a VMAX E-Scooter?
The performance of your VMAX scooter depends on several factors:
- Rated power (watts): The continuous motor power is 500 W, in compliance with legal requirements (does not apply to our racing models).
- Peak Power: Short-term maximum power for acceleration, hills, or carrying a load—up to 1,600 W, depending on the model.
Why is a 500 W rated power important?
In Switzerland and Germany, E-Scooter used E-Scooter public spaces must have a maximum rated power of 500 W to be operated legally. That’s why all VMAX VX models are designed to meet this requirement. Thanks to modern technology, they still deliver extra peak power when you need it—for example, on hills or when pulling away.
