MAXSHOT V1 SPRO Electric Scooter

MAXSHOT lists a 500 W brushless hub motor, without saying rated or peak, and speeds up to 22 mph, with modes shown on the LED display and an app for cruise control and locking. 22 mph is over New York's line, whose e-scooter definition covers scooters that cannot exceed 20 mph (VTL §114-e), and over New Jersey's 19 mph line for a legal e-scooter. It is well above California's 15 mph limit (Vehicle Code §22411). In those states, keep it in a lower mode. 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 listing gives the battery as "42V/10.5Ah" and says it is replaceable. 42 V is the full-charge voltage of a standard 36 V scooter pack, so we count it as 36 V times 10.5 Ah, about 378 Wh; read literally, 42 times 10.5 would be 441 Wh. MAXSHOT claims up to 22 miles. We estimate about 14 to 17 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider, by dividing 378 Wh by 22 to 27 watt-hours per mile, a band from published full-speed tests. That is about a third more than the V1's 10 to 13 miles, enough for about 7 miles each way. The first charge takes 6 hours and later charges up to 5.

This is where the V1 SPRO earns its price over the V1. It has a shock-absorbing system at both ends and 10-inch honeycomb tires, which never go flat and, being larger, roll over cracks better than the 8.5-inch tires on most budget scooters. On the V1 the listing promises "Dual Suspension" without describing it; on the V1 SPRO the bullets describe it. The listing calls the brakes a dual braking system without naming the types, and there is an LED headlight and a brake light. No water (IP) rating is stated, so treat it as a dry-weather scooter.

The frame is aluminum. The weight is 37 lb in the product table and 36 lb in the bullets, which is carryable for a flight of stairs but not for long, and it folds to 44.5 by 16.9 by 24.4 inches. The rider limit is 265 lb, and the warranty is 1 year.

The listing states "This e scooter product is UL 2272 certified"; no lab is named and we could not verify it in the certifier's directory. 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 MAXSHOT as of October 2026; the 2023 CPSC recall of Apollo Phantom scooters, sold in V1 and V2 versions, is a different brand and product.

Buy the V1 SPRO if your streets are rough, your rides run up to about 7 miles each way, you weigh under 265 lb and you want suspension without paying for a brand name. Skip it if you ride in the rain, need a scooter that is legal at full speed in New York or New Jersey, or want a maker you can contact outside Amazon. Our best electric scooters for adults guide compares it with the brand-name picks.
