The Most Important Points at a Glance
The VMAX New VX4 is the Test Winner in the AUTO BILD e-scooter test 2026. It received a grade of 1.4 (“very good”) and achieved the highest measured range of the five test models with 73 km in sport mode.
For the range measurement, the battery was fully charged, and the tire pressure was correctly set. The tests were conducted in sport mode over a defined distance with different road surfaces and gradients.
- Test Win: 1st place in the comparison of five e-scooters
- Test Grade: 1.4 (“very good”)
- Test Range: 73 km in sport mode
- Highly Praised: Performance, range, and chassis stability
1. The Test Win at a Glance
AUTO BILD compared five e-scooters in a price range of around 700 to 1,800 euros. Performance, range, safety, stability, comfort, build quality, operation, and features were among the criteria evaluated.
2. How the New VX4 Impresses in Testing
The New VX4 translates performance directly and provides noticeable reserves, even on inclines. AUTO BILD also highlights that speed and acceleration remain remarkably consistent over longer distances, even with a decreasing battery charge.
On poor roads, the chassis offers a lot of control. The adjustable suspension fork can be tailored to rider weight and personal preferences. The large footboard with kicktail additionally creates freedom of movement for different foot positions.

The range assessment is based on measurements with a fully charged battery, properly set tire pressure, and riding in sport mode on a defined route with different road surfaces and gradients.
3. What the 73 km in Sport Mode Mean
The New VX4 achieved 73 km in sport mode in the AUTO BILD test, which is the highest measured range among the five test models.
For the range measurement, the battery was fully charged and the tire pressure was correctly set. It was ridden in sport mode on a defined course with different road surfaces and gradients. AUTO BILD additionally documented how acceleration, speed, and ride behavior change as battery power decreases.
Stated and Measured Range: What is the Difference?
Manufacturer's Specification: For the New VX4, VMAX specifies a range of up to 110 km. This value is determined under ideal conditions: at 20 to 25 °C, with a rider weight of 75 kg, on flat terrain, at a constant pace, with minimal stop-and-go, in eco mode at 20 km/h and with 3.0 bar tire pressure.
Measured Test Range: AUTO BILD achieved 73 km in sport mode. Measurement was made with a fully charged battery, correctly set tire pressure, and on a defined course with different road surfaces and gradients.
Your Actual Range: It can be higher or lower depending on temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, gradients, riding modes, acceleration, headwinds, terrain, and the number of stops. The manufacturer's specification and the AUTO BILD test value were determined under different conditions and are therefore not directly comparable.
4. How AUTO BILD Conducted the Tests
The five models had to prove themselves under changing conditions: in city traffic, on longer distances, on inclines, on wet roads, and on different surfaces.
AUTO BILD also evaluated acceleration, braking behavior, stability, lighting, build quality, folding mechanism, usability, display, and app. Additionally, included were the packaging, features, and manufacturer's information on spare parts, repair options, and service.
The 73 km test range of the New VX4 was measured with a fully charged battery, correctly set tire pressure, and in sport mode. The defined test course included various road surfaces and gradients.
The New VX4's performance, as well as the app's functions, were positively noted. Navigation, route planning, and ride data particularly support you on longer journeys.
5. Who is the New VX4 For?
The New VX4 is especially worthwhile if you want to combine long distances, significant inclines, and changing surfaces with a high level of stability. Its chassis, large footboard, and performance reserves show their strengths on demanding daily routes and longer tours.
If you need to regularly carry your e-scooter up stairs or lift it into public transport, you should consciously consider the weight in your purchasing decision.
- Suitable for you: long distances, inclines, high comfort requirements, and plenty of reserves
- Careful consideration: frequent carrying, little storage space, or particularly compact transport routes
6. Conclusion: A Test Win with Clear Strengths
The New VX4 wins the AUTO BILD e-scooter test 2026 with a convincing overall package. The grade of 1.4, the best range of 73 km in sport mode under the described test conditions, and the positive assessment of performance and chassis make it a strong choice for demanding routes.

Frequently Asked Questions about the AUTO BILD Test Win
Which e-scooter is the AUTO BILD Test Winner 2026?
The VMAX New VX4 wins the AUTO BILD comparison from September 5, 2026. It achieves a test grade of 1.4 (“very good”).
How far did the New VX4 go in the AUTO BILD test?
AUTO BILD measured 73 km in sport mode. For the measurement, the battery was fully charged, the tire pressure correctly set, and a defined course with different road surfaces and gradients was traversed. This was the highest measured range of the five test models.
Are 73 km reachable on every ride?
No. The 73 km were measured by AUTO BILD with a fully charged battery, properly set tire pressure, and in sport mode on a defined course with various road surfaces and gradients. Temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, gradients, riding behavior, headwinds, and stop-and-go can all affect the actual range.
Why does VMAX state a range of up to 110 km?
The manufacturer's specification of up to 110 km is determined under ideal conditions: at 20 to 25 °C, with a rider weight of 75 kg, on flat terrain, at a constant pace, with minimal stop-and-go, in eco mode at 20 km/h and with 3.0 bar tire pressure. In contrast, AUTO BILD was testing in sport mode on a route with varying surfaces and inclines. Thus, the values are not directly comparable.
What disadvantages does AUTO BILD mention?
In the test, the high weight and initial acceleration behavior that may require some acclimatization are noted. If you plan on doing a lot of carrying, you should consider these points before purchase.
