WERHY H5 Electric Scooter

WERHY lists a 350 W motor without saying whether that is a rated or peak figure, a 15% climb rating and, per the Green option, a 19 mph top speed. The app sets a custom top speed, cruise control and a lock. 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 set a lower top speed in the app. 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.

WERHY does not publish the H5's battery size, its voltage or its amp-hours, so we cannot make our usual range estimate, which divides a battery's watt-hours by 22 to 27 watt-hours per mile. What we can say: makers that publish test conditions measure range with a 150 to 165 lb rider at about 9 to 10 mph, and in published full-speed tests scooters covered a median 59% of their advertised range. On a 15-mile claim that points to roughly 9 miles at full speed for an average adult, and less in the cold or on hills. Charging takes 4 to 5 hours, per the listing.

The H5 rides on 8.5-inch solid tires, which cannot go flat but pass more of the road to your feet, and with no suspension confirmed, expect a firm ride on rough pavement. Braking is an electronic E-ABS brake on the front wheel plus a mechanical drum on the rear; there is no disc. No water (IP) rating is stated, so treat it as a dry-weather scooter. Lights are an LED headlight and a rear warning light.

At 30 lb (per the Green option's bullets; the table gives no weight) it is light enough to carry, and it folds in what WERHY calls three seconds; no folded size is published. The rider limit is 265 lb (264 in one option's bullets). WERHY's warranty is 12 months or 180 days depending on the part.

Neither the listing nor the maker states UL 2272 certification. The only UL 2272 mentions on the listing page belong to ads for other scooters. 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. If either applies to you, or your building asks for proof, choose a scooter that at least claims it. No CPSC recall found for the WERHY H5 as of October 2026. Our electric scooter safety guide covers what to check.

• WERHY H5 PRO ($169.98 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): the H5 with front and rear suspension that its listing describes in both the bullets and the product table, at about 33 lb. It shares the H5's gaps: no battery size and no UL 2272 claim.
• VOLPAM Q1 ($159.98 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): Amazon's #1, the same 350 W, 19 mph and 8.5-inch solid-tire recipe at about 26 lb. A sibling listing at least states its battery, 187.2 Wh, which we estimate covers 7 to 9 miles at full speed. Like the H5, it states no UL 2272.
• Hiboy S2 ($299.98 as of Oct 22, 11:10 AM EDT, subject to change): the budget scooter with the paperwork the H5 lacks. Hiboy publishes a 280.8 Wh battery (we estimate 10 to 13 miles), its range test conditions, rear shocks, a rear disc brake and IPX4, and its listing states UL 2272 testing. It weighs 35.5 lb and carries 220 lb.

Buy the H5 if your rides are a few miles on smooth, dry pavement, you weigh under 265 lb, and the price matters more than published specs. Choose a Pink Yellow, Green, Yellow-Black or White Yellow option; Red01 is a different, faster scooter. Skip it if you need UL 2272 for your city or building, ride in the rain, or want to know your range before you buy.
