VMAX Electric Scooters Debut Three New Models at CES 2026

On January 9, 2026, Swiss manufacturer VMAX introduced its latest electric scooters at CES 2026, presenting three distinct models designed to address very different rider expectations. With this launch, VMAX electric scooters move decisively toward higher performance, lighter construction, and improved everyday usability without drifting into concept-only territory.
The newly unveiled VX6, VX8, and VX2 Lite expand the brand’s existing portfolio, which has already gained traction in Europe and the United States. Together, these models outline VMAX’s view of the evolving micromobility market, where refinement, power, and accessibility are becoming equally important.
VMAX Electric Scooters Push Performance Limits With the VX6
The VX6 stands out as VMAX’s most powerful electric scooter to date, targeting riders seeking extreme performance. It is equipped with dual 60V motors producing a combined peak output of 6,000 watts, enabling a firmware-limited top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and the ability to climb gradients up to 50%.
Beyond acceleration, VMAX has emphasized practicality. The VX6 carries a 1,890 Wh battery that can be fully recharged in approximately 1.8 hours, a notably shorter charging window compared to many high-performance competitors.
Key performance and safety features include:

• Dual 140 mm hydraulic disc brakes

• Adjustable hydraulic suspension at both ends

• 11-inch self-sealing tubeless tires

• Reinforced stem and deck latch for high-speed stability

While final pricing has not yet been announced, VMAX has indicated that it intends to position the VX6 competitively within the super-scooter segment. Deliveries in the United States are expected to begin around May or June 2026, with European specifications to follow.
VX8 Brings Lightweight Design to VMAX Electric Scooters
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the VX8 focuses on portability without sacrificing climbing capability. Weighing just 34.2 lbs (15.5 kg), the scooter features an all-carbon-fiber structure, including the frame, fork, stem, and fenders.
Instead of a traditional hub motor, the VX8 uses a planetary gear-drive motor with a peak output of 1,400 watts. This configuration prioritizes torque, allowing the scooter to handle inclines of up to 38%, making it suitable for steep urban environments.
Performance and commuter-focused highlights include:

• Top speed limited to 19 mph (30 km/h)

• Color TFT display with automatic brightness adjustment

• Integrated turn signals and lighting

• Front drum brake with rear regenerative braking

• IPX6-rated water resistance

The VX8 is clearly intended for riders who regularly carry their scooters indoors or onto public transport while still requiring strong hill-climbing performance.
VX2 Lite Targets Everyday Comfort Within VMAX Electric Scooters
Completing the lineup is the VX2 Lite, a model aimed at riders seeking comfort and reliability at a more accessible price point. Built on the existing VX2 platform, the Lite version introduces full suspension while targeting a price below $1,000.
The front uses spring-based suspension, while the rear employs an elastomer system to absorb road imperfections. The scooter reaches a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and offers a claimed range of up to 56 miles (90 km) in ECO mode for a 75 kg rider.
Additional commuter-friendly features include:

• 10-inch tubeless tires for reduced maintenance

• Front drum brake combined with rear regenerative braking

• Multiple integrated turn signals on the handlebars and deck

Positioned between the VX2 Pro and VX2 Hub, the VX2 Lite is designed for riders who prioritize ride comfort without moving into higher-priced performance categories.
