VMAX - VX2 Extreme GT

I have the VX2 Extreme GT for about a month and motor is really good, and worth it alone. VMAX sells all the spare parts for their scooters including batteries and motors directly from their website. I also have talked to their support and they responded 3 different times with 3 business days. I get about 20 miles if I stretch it between ECO and Sport mode. Full sport mode will be a little over 15 miles. That all depends on how many inclines you need to go up though, and how cold it is. A couple things I don't like is the battery notification not being really accurate at all. I left one one time with it at almost 60% showing, and within 5 or so miles the battery was basically dead. I just always try to make sure to charge around 40% battery now. Another thing is the app is not the greatest, but does the job I guess. They're suppose to hopefully update it soon to show the battery at more accurate readings. Also the reason I talked to them is because my fender has a stripped screw from the factory, and they sent me out replacement screws the next day.

the vmax vx2 extreme has better acceleration than the g3 and most scooters in its class, as well not being bulky and only weighing 49lbs, 1600w peak motor for same price basically

I personally have the VX2 Extreme and their customer support has been awesome with responses and sending little replacements. I'm at over 500 miles and the only issues have had is their hook. I'm really contemplating upgrading to a scooter with front suspension because the pot holes and roads horrible everywhere now.

The inmotion climber is definitely quick, but I wouldn’t say it’s fast since it caps out at 21-20 mph. Maybe the Vmax vx2 extreme would be a better choice? 26 mph is pretty high.

I have it and it never goes above 21 even going downhill

If price isn’t an issue then I think the vx2 extreme would be one of the top of the line commuter scooters on the market

No folding handlebars. As someone who also jumps on the train or bus with mine, it's a dealbreaker. I have a VX2 Extreme, if there's a chance I may take mass transit, I use my ETWO-W.

Yes, get the VMAX. Apollo is dogshit, one of the worst scooter brands. The [VMAX is $999 RN](https://vmax-escooter.us/products/vx2-extreme) on their site.

They’re both really good and similarly specced. It really just comes down to preference but you’ll probably have more fun on the VMAX.

The Vmax VX4 is a solid scooter with good water resistance and arguably best in class turn signals. Solid acceleration too, it handles Seattle hills just fine, so NYC should be no problem. Top speed of 25mph, so it barely hits your speed requirement, but everything else on your list it solidly checks. Half a year ago I would've recommended the Kaabo Mantis X, but it died on me 4 months in due to water damage from taking it out in the rain, so yeah... Nope

I am a scooter rider and it really depends on your budget. It is highly recommended to get a scooter from a reputable brand and that come with some basic safety features like a turn signals and a proper rear facing light. Although they can be somewhat expensive, its very much worth the extra dollar, so you can stay safe while having the freedom of micro mobility. For my recommendations: NIU, VMAX, Segway have really good scooters. Avoid the cheap ones that don't have the safety features. They have decent range and have a built in gps locator, so even if someone steals it, you can find it. However, I would not worry about theft because gradguard will cover it. Other reputable brands include Gotrax and Apollo. Both are pretty good, but I don't have much experience with Gotrax. Apollo, on the otherhand, is also a great brand if you can stomach the cost. However, before you set your eyes on an escooter. Range anxiety is a real issue. The reported ranges and top speeds are the brands testing under very good conditions and very light riders and often times on the slowest setting. They are not accurate most of the time. Do not buy from non reputable brands. I do not want to see someone's dorm or house burning down because they bought a cheap scooter from a random company. I also recommend to buy a full face helmet, knee pads, and gloves even on entry level scooters. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. ADHERE TO TRAFFIC LAWS. YOUR NOT A PEDESTRIAN WHEN YOU STEP FOOT ON THAT SCOOTER OR BIKE. I see too many people on campus not adhering to basic traffic laws on both scooters and bikes. Also watch how to properly ride a scooter and make sure to practice on the weekends. Although I am currently injured from falling off my own scooter (broken arm because I was being an idiot and tried to do a trick on it). If you want I can still teach you how to ride a scooter. Just privately message me about the time and date and I'll let you know if I can. Edit: I went through the gradguard policy again, they will not cover anything motorized, so invest in a good lock.

I have an f2 and a E kick from ninebot. I do believe you're paying a little bit for the ninebot name, but from my experience it's worth it. I picked up an F2 that had only been rode 4 times by the previous owner for $200 (a steal) on marketplace. The build quality is definitely there, I absolutely love the f2. It's not even in the same league as my new vmax, yet I still use it for trips I can't bring the max inside or if it's rough riding. I'm 170 and ride the scooters like I stole them. Our Gotrax is also solid reliability wise, as my 8 yrs old nephew hasn't destroyed it yet, despite trying his hardest lol
