MAXSHOT V1 Electric Scooter

The listing claims a 350 W brushless motor without saying whether that is rated or peak. A bullet puts the motor in the rear wheel; an image draws it in the front. There are three modes, ECO at 9 mph, D at 12 mph and S at 19 mph, and the Tuya app lets you set a lower top speed, use cruise control and lock the scooter. The climb claim reads both 15° and 15% in the same image; 15 degrees is about 27%, so the real figure is unclear.

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 for motorized scooters (Vehicle Code §22411), so California riders must hold it to 15 mph; the D mode's 12 mph sits under that. 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.

The white V1's bullets and images say 37 V and 7.8 Ah; the red-gray V1 says 36 V and 7.8 Ah. No option states watt-hours, so we computed it: 288.6 Wh at 37 V, or 280.8 Wh at 36 V, a gap of under 3%. The listing claims up to 21 miles "under specific conditions" and names none of them.

We estimate about 11 to 13 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider (10 to 13 if the pack is the 36 V version). That is the battery divided by 22 to 27 Wh per mile, the middle half of 32 published full-speed range tests of commuter scooters. In those tests, scooters covered a median 59% of their advertised range, and makers that publish conditions use 150 to 165 lb riders at about 9 to 10 mph. Charging takes 4 hours per the Product information box, or 5 hours per the listing images.

The V1 rides on 8.5-inch honeycomb tires, which are airless and cannot go flat. No shock is described on the V1, so treat its suspension as unconfirmed; on solid rubber, expect bumps to reach the deck. The listing describes two brakes, an electronic E-ABS brake and a mechanical drum, with no disc; one image puts the E-ABS at the front and the drum at the rear, and another option's bullet puts the drum at the front. No water (IP) rating is stated, so keep it out of the rain.

It weighs 31 lb and folds, per the listing, to 107 x 43 x 52 cm (about 42.1 x 16.9 x 20.5 in). The rider limit is 265 lb on most options and 264 lb on two, with a recommended rider height of 4.9 to 6.3 ft. Lights are a headlight and a brake light. The warranty is 1 year, and one bullet says components are "tested to last up to 180 days of regular use".

The listing states UL 2272; we could not verify it in the certifier's directory. The wording shifts between options, from "Safety tested to UL 2272" to "Tested by UL2272", and no option names a test lab, file number or certificate. The self-styled official site makes no UL claim at all. UL 2272 covers the fire and electrical safety of a scooter, which is why New York City has required it for e-scooters sold there since September 16, 2023 (Local Law 39); it does not test brakes or folding stems.

No CPSC recall found for the MAXSHOT V1 as of October 2026 (CPSC recalls). If a CPSC search for "V1" turns up an August 2023 recall, that is the Apollo Phantom, a different brand and product. Our electric scooter safety guide shows how to check a listing's claim.

• VOLPAM Q1: #1 in Electric Scooters on October 18, 2026, is 5 lb lighter (26 lb on its listing), but its 187.2 Wh battery is about a third smaller and its listing states no certification. It also hides among nine models in one listing.
• Hiboy S2: a similar battery (36 V × 7.8 Ah in Hiboy's manual) from a maker that publishes a manual, a 500 W peak rating and its range test conditions, with rear shocks, a rear disc brake and IPX4. It weighs 35.5 lb, carries up to 220 lb and cost $299.98 (as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change).
• WERHY H5 ($159.98 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): #6 in Amazon's Electric Scooters on October 19, 2026, the same 350 W, 19 mph, 8.5-inch solid-tire formula at 30 lb by its listing, with no battery size and no UL 2272 claim.
• MAXSHOT V1 SPRO ($265.99 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): MAXSHOT's step up, with front and rear shocks its listing actually describes, 10-inch honeycomb tires, 500 W and about 378 Wh (an estimated 14 to 17 miles). It reaches 22 mph, over New York's 20 mph line, and weighs about 37 lb.
• WAWSCOTE W3C ($159.99 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): about the same battery (280.8 Wh) with a 500 W rated motor, IPX4 and a UL 2272 line naming TÜV Rheinland, but a 180-day warranty. The same W3C sells as the Oslich, and the lighter HopCycle N3 comes from the same supplier.
• Aovowheel Y01 ($158.97 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): one of the few budget scooters with front and rear shocks, plus a 700 W peak motor and a UL 2272 claim on its listing, but no battery size, and each color option is a different model.

Buy the V1 if you want about 289 Wh, more than the VOLPAM Q1 (187 Wh) and SAIMNZE A11 (270 Wh) and less than the Phantomgogo A2 (374 Wh), your rides are under about 5 miles each way on smooth pavement, and you can live with specs nobody but the seller confirms. It suits riders up to 265 lb who want app control and three speed modes.

Skip it if you want a maker you can look up, published range conditions or suspension you can count on: the Hiboy S2 offers all three. Skip it too if you ride in the rain or need a verified UL 2272 certificate. Our best electric scooters under $200 guide sets it beside the other budget picks.
