The YouTube pool is blank: the VMAX tests found are Electric Scooter Guide and ERideHero videos that repeat their written tests, and the EV Tech Steven and Tom's Gadget Garage reviews VMAX embeds on its store pages (October 2026).

AmazonNot scored

The Amazon pool is blank: the VX2 Pro and VX4 listings in VMAX's Amazon brand store show no featured offer and name no seller, so their ratings are not the brand's own listing (October 2026).

User reviewsNot scored

The retailer pool is blank: Walmart carries only the VX2 Extreme ST and VX2 Extreme LT editions, with one review between them, and none of Best Buy, Target, Costco, Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, Home Depot and Lowe's lists it (October 2026).
