0.87 measured miles of range per pound of scooter. Only the NIU KQi Air does better, and it does not go half as far.

The verdict
The short answer
Buy it if you want long range without a 70 lb scooter, and 24 mph is fast enough. Skip it if you want speed, or you need published braking and weather specifications.
39.6 measured miles at 45.6 lb — the best range-per-pound figure in our entire dataset, and it takes 287 lb.

The range-per-pound figure is remarkable
39.6 independently measured miles from a 45.6 lb scooter (eRideHero, Sep 2026) works out at 0.87 miles of real range per pound. For comparison: the EMOVE Cruiser V2 manages 0.63, the Segway Ninebot Max G3 0.46, and the Segway ZT3 Pro 0.35.
Only the NIU KQi Air beats it, at 0.92 — and the KQi Air goes 15.4 fewer miles. If you want genuine long-distance capability without the weight penalty that usually comes with it, this is the scooter in our registry that delivers it.
287 lb, which is unusual at this weight
Above the 265 lb category default, in a 45.6 lb chassis. Most scooters that clear the 265 lb wall do it by being substantially heavier; this one does not. For a rider up to about 240 lb who also wants range and portability, that combination is close to unique in our data. See what a payload rating actually means for how much headroom to leave.
23.9 mph is the trade
Slower than several scooters with half its range — the NAVEE XT5 Pro measured 31 mph and 12.7 miles, which is the opposite bargain. Whether 23.9 mph is a limitation depends entirely on your route: it is plenty for bike lanes and most surface streets, and it is also the speed at which the chassis and brakes have comfortable margin. Our speed guide covers the bands.

Frequently asked questions
▸What is the range of the VMAX VX2 Pro GT?
39.6 miles, independently measured — and from a 45.6 lb scooter, which gives it the best range-per-pound figure in our registry after the NIU KQi Air.
▸Is the VX2 Pro GT good for heavier riders?
Its 287 lb rating is above the 265 lb category default, giving a rider up to about 240 lb real margin. Above 250 lb, look at scooters rated 330 lb and over.
▸Is 23.9 mph fast enough?
For bike lanes and most surface streets, yes. It is also a speed at which the brakes and chassis have margin, which matters more than the headline figure.
