Aovowheel Y01 Electric Scooter

Aovowheel lists a 350 W motor with a 700 W peak, a 19 mph top speed and a Bluetooth app (vicont) that it says sets the scooter's functions; the scooter also rides without it. It claims a 20° climb, which would be about 36%; that is steeper than any maker rating we have seen on a 350 W scooter, so plan on gentle slopes. Its 19 mph top speed is under New York's 20 mph e-scooter limit (VTL §114-e) and above California's 15 mph limit (Vehicle Code §22411), so California riders must hold it to 15. It is not under New Jersey's 19 mph line for a legal e-scooter. Scooters are not e-bikes, so the US e-bike classes do not apply. California also requires a driver's license or instruction permit (§21235), and Pennsylvania does not allow e-scooters on public roads.

Aovowheel does not publish the battery's size, voltage or amp-hours, so we cannot make our usual estimate from watt-hours. The claim is 21 miles in one place and 23 in another, with no test conditions. In published full-speed tests, scooters covered a median 59% of their advertised range, which on a 21-mile claim points to roughly 12 miles at full speed for an average adult. Treat that as a rough guide, not a measurement.

The Y01's selling point is suspension: Aovowheel lists double shock absorbers front and rear and widened pedals, which few scooters at this price have. It still rides on 8.5-inch solid tires, which cannot go flat but feel firmer than air tires. Braking is an electronic front brake plus a rear drum, with no disc. Lights are a headlight and a warning taillight. No water (IP) rating is stated, so keep it out of the rain. It folds to about 18 inches tall, per the listing. The rider limit is 265 lb, and Aovowheel gives 12 months of service on parts.

The listing states UL 2272; we could not verify it in the certifier's directory. The bullet reads "This E-Scooter has UL2272 certified" and names no testing lab. That matters in New York City, where Local Law 39 requires e-scooters sold there to be certified to UL 2272, and in California, which has required UL 2272 battery testing for motorized scooters sold there since January 1, 2026. No CPSC recall found for the Aovowheel Y01 as of October 2026. Our electric scooter safety guide explains what to check.

• WERHY H5 ($159.98 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): Amazon's #6, lighter at 30 lb by its listing, with the same 350 W, 19 mph and 8.5-inch solid tires, but no suspension confirmed and no UL 2272 claim. Neither publishes a battery size.
• MAXSHOT V1 SPRO ($265.99 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): front and rear shocks too, on bigger 10-inch honeycomb tires, with a stated battery (about 378 Wh, an estimated 14 to 17 miles) and a 500 W motor. It costs more and reaches 22 mph, over New York's 20 mph line.
• Hiboy S2 ($299.98 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): Hiboy publishes what Aovowheel does not, a 280.8 Wh battery (we estimate 10 to 13 miles), its range test conditions, IPX4 and a rear disc brake, with rear shocks only. It weighs 35.5 lb and carries 220 lb.

Buy the Y01 if you want front and rear shocks on a budget, ride a few miles at a time on dry pavement, and weigh under 265 lb. Pick the Orange or Orange-grey option, not the cheapest one. Skip it if you need a published battery size or water rating, ride in the rain, or want a disc brake. Our best electric scooters under $200 guide compares it with the other budget best sellers.
