Simplicity is king with the VX5 Pro and with VMAX’s scooters in general. They’ve got sleek, simple black styling a no nonsense frame design. The VX5 is one of the best-built scooters for the price I’ve ever tested.

This is a 36-volt electric scooter, and I reviewed the GT version with a 10.4 amp-hour battery. The smallest version only has a 5 amp-hour battery that is supposed to give you 11 miles of range.

The GT has a claimed range of 22 miles, but we’ll put that to the test. Overall, we have found that the GT version in each model offers the best value in terms of range per dollar.

The VX5 Pro is definitely an entry-level electric scooter with expert-level build quality.

It’s light and portable and makes a great short-commute daily rider or last-mile solution. It’s an excellent first scooter for beginner adults and teens.
