The VMAX VX8 is the perfect choice if you live upstairs or love the premium look of real carbon fiber.
Weighing in at just 34.2 lbs thanks to its ultra-light carbon frame, the VX8 is the lightest VMAX electric scooter ever made. Easy to carry, it's also an unstoppable hill climber and no lightweight when it comes to performance.
Important: Unlike silent direct-drive scooters, the VX8 features a robust geared motor. You’ll experience a mechanical "whir" during acceleration and a highly responsive throttle. If you prioritize raw hill-climbing torque over total silence, you’ll love the VX8. Watch the video on the bottom of this page to learn more.
The V-Torque Gear-drive motor delivers 1400 W of peak power, hitting top speeds of 21mph and scaling hills as steep as 38% thanks to its V-Core Gear motor controller. Despite its light weight it still delivers long range covering up to 40 miles on a single charge. Monitor your speed and charge day or night with the gorgeous new 3.5" TFT display with V-Sense light sensor technology, that brightens the display automatically, and turns on your lights at night.
