- Test Victory: 1st place in the comparison of five e-scooters
- Test Grade: 1.4 (“very good”)
- Tested Range: 73 km in sport mode
- Particularly Praised: Performance, range, and suspension
1. Test Results at a Glance
AUTO BILD compared five e-scooters in a price range of around 700 to 1,800 Euros. Criteria included performance, range, safety, stability, comfort, build quality, handling, and features.
2. The New VX4 Impresses in Testing
The New VX4 translates its power directly and offers noticeable reserves even on inclines. AUTO BILD also emphasizes that speed and acceleration remain remarkably consistent over long distances, even with a declining battery level.
On poor roads, the suspension provides a lot of control. The adjustable front fork can be adapted to rider weight and personal preferences. The large footboard with kicktail offers additional freedom of movement for different foot positions.

The range evaluation is based on measurements with a fully charged battery, correctly set tire pressure, and rides in sport mode on a designated route with varying road surfaces and inclines.
3. What the 73 km in Sport Mode Means
The New VX4 achieved 73 km in sport mode during the AUTO BILD test, marking 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 driven in sport mode on a predefined route with varied road surfaces and inclines. AUTO BILD also documented how acceleration, speed, and handling changes with decreasing battery levels.
Stated and Measured Range: What is the Difference?
Manufacturer’s Claim: For the New VX4, VMAX states 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 level terrain, with consistent riding behavior, 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 taken with a fully charged battery, correct tire pressure, and on a predetermined route with differing surfaces and inclines.
Your Actual Range: It can vary based on temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, inclines, riding mode, acceleration, headwinds, terrain, and number of stops. The manufacturer’s claim and the AUTO BILD test value were evaluated under different conditions and are therefore not directly comparable.
4. How AUTO BILD Tested
The five models had to prove themselves under changing conditions: in city traffic, on longer routes, on inclines, on wet roads, and on various surfaces.
AUTO BILD also evaluated acceleration, braking behavior, stability, lighting, quality, folding mechanism, handling, display, and app functionality. Additionally, the package contents, features, as well as manufacturer details regarding spare parts, repair options, and service were factored into the consideration.
The New VX4's 73 km test range was measured with a fully charged battery, correctly adjusted tire pressure, and in sport mode. The designated test route included varying surfaces and inclines.
For the New VX4, positive highlights included not only its performance but also the app features. Navigation, route planning, and riding data particularly assist you on longer distances.
5. Who is the New VX4 For?
The New VX4 is particularly worthwhile if you want to combine long distances, significant inclines, and varying terrains with a lot of stability. Its suspension, large footboard, and power reserves showcase their strengths on demanding daily routes and longer tours.
If you need to regularly carry your e-scooter up stairs or onto public transport, you should consciously consider its weight in your purchase decision.
- Suitable for You: long distances, inclines, high comfort requirements, and plenty of power reserves
- Carefully Consider: frequent carrying, limited 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 compelling overall package. The grade of 1.4, the range best of 73 km in sport mode under the described test conditions, and the positive evaluation of performance and suspension 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 the 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, tire pressure correctly set, and a predetermined route with varying road surfaces and inclines was driven. This was the highest measured range among the five test models.
Can 73 km be achieved on every ride?
No. The 73 km were measured by AUTO BILD with a fully charged battery, correctly set tire pressure, and in sport mode on a designated route with varying surfaces and inclines. Temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, inclines, riding style, headwinds, and stop-and-go can affect the actual range.
Why does VMAX state a range of up to 110 km?
The manufacturer's claim of up to 110 km is determined under ideal conditions: at 20 to 25 °C, with a rider weight of 75 kg, on level terrain, with consistent riding behavior, minimal stop-and-go, in eco mode at 20 km/h and with 3.0 bar tire pressure. In contrast, AUTO BILD tested in sport mode on a route with various surfaces and inclines. Therefore, the values are not directly comparable.
What disadvantages does AUTO BILD mention?
In the test, high weight and an initial acceleration behavior that requires some acclimatization are noted. You should consider these points before purchasing if you plan to carry it frequently.
