Ausom launches the F1 Max E-Scooter: another incredible value-packed model that’s redefining value in high-performance electric mobility.
I’ve been riding Ausom e-scooters for a couple of years now. Let me tell you, they make some of the best ones out there, especially for the price to performance ratio. These scooters punch way above their weight class. They deliver features you’d expect from premium brands without the hefty price tag.
Today, we’re diving deep into one of their 60V powerhouses, the F1 Max. It has been turning heads with its dual-motor setup and off-road capabilities.
If you’re tired of overpriced scooters that underdeliver, Ausom’s approach might just change your mind. They focus on smart engineering and no-frills design to deliver real value. Riders love how these scooters handle real-world demands like steep hills and rough trails while keeping costs low.
You might have heard of Ausom before. Their DT2 Pro and L1 are seriously impressive models, and both blew me away. The DT2 Pro is a fast dual-motor beast that’s best ridden with full moto gear because it hits speeds that demand respect.
Then there’s the L1. It’s their budget-friendly powerhouse with a frame similar to the DT2 but powered by just one motor. It’s perfect for commuters who want reliability without breaking the bank.
Both models share Ausom’s commitment to durable builds and impressive power. This sets the stage for what the F1 Max brings to the table. This lineup shows why Ausom has quickly become a go-to choice. Savvy riders love them for high performance on a budget.
F1 Max Powerhouse: Blazing Speed and Epic Range
Now we’re looking at the F1 Max. This dual-motor beast tops out at a crazy 45 mph (72 kph) and can go up to 62 miles (100 km) on a single charge in ideal conditions. It costs just $1,500 (€1,300), which makes it one of the most accessible high-performance scooters available.
That speed comes from dual 1400W nominal motors peaking at 3840W total. That’s over 5 horsepower of raw power that lets you blast through traffic or tackle trails with ease.
No official torque figures are listed. Ausom claims it conquers 72% inclines, which is San Francisco-steep territory. Real-world tests confirm this climbing prowess, with reviewers noting effortless hill attacks even under load.
That’s a big reason the F1 Max has earned perfect 5-out-of-5 stars from 22 reviews on the official site. If you think you don’t need this much power, you clearly won’t push it to the limits. But trust me, that spunk is essential off-road where quick acceleration saves rides.
Top speed hits 45 mph reliably, though expect some regulatory unlocks depending on your region. Range holds up well too; under peak conditions with eco riding and single-motor use, 62 miles is achievable.
However, dual-motor blasts in Race mode drop it closer to 30-40 miles based on my DT2 Pro experience. Multiple ride modes let you balance speed and efficiency, from chill city cruises to full-throttle adventures.
Smart Simplicity: Frame, Suspension, and Tires Built for Real Rides
Ausom packs insane speed and power into their e-scooters without jacking up the price by keeping things super simple. They only add the fancy stuff where it really counts. Take the frame; it is nothing flashy like those frilled out Segway scooters. It is a sturdy aluminum build that prioritizes function over form.
For me, looks don’t matter when all I want is speed and comfort. This no-nonsense design shaves weight and cost while maintaining strength for aggressive riding.
That frame is where Ausom really shows its style. They’ve got this dual-suspension setup that’s made them a favorite among riders. The adjustable swingarm handles massive bumps and drops, while the front fork smooths chatter. Honestly, even on their budget-friendly L1, that suspension was a lifesaver at high speeds. It absorbed vibrations that would rattle lesser scooters.
On the F1 Max and DT2, it’s even better, with full adjustability for tuning to your weight and terrain. Promo images show riders ripping trails far from city streets, proving this setup’s off-road cred.
Ausom goes all-in on comfort with pneumatic tires across their scooters, and the F1 Max is no different. Those two 11-inch air-filled tires with 3-inch width soak up bumps and vibrations like champs. They provide killer grip on dirt, gravel, or pavement and are perfect for off-road riding.
The F1 Max handles it with ease thanks to the suspension tire combo. Low tire pressure warnings via the app keep you safe, and the wide profile adds stability at 45 mph.

Ultimate Control: Brakes, Deck, and Smart Features
When you’re flying off-road, you want total control. That’s why the F1 Max comes with front and rear hydraulic brakes plus E ABS for anti lock stopping power. These calipers deliver progressive bite.
Like other Ausom models, you can tweak sensitivity through the app for personalized feel. Panic stops from top speed are confident, even wet, giving peace of mind on mixed terrain.
The deck is way wider than the L1s, about 8.5 inches. This boosts foot stability during aggressive maneuvers.
The F1 Max also packs practical extras: IPX6 waterproofing, LED lighting front and rear for night rides, a telescopic folding stem for portability, and full app controls via Bluetooth. Customize speed limits, lock remotely, track rides, and monitor battery health—all from your phone.
Cruise control activates after steady throttling, perfect for highways. These features elevate it beyond basic commuters.
Battery Life, Charging, and the Fine Print
Like I said, the range is pretty solid too. It is powered by a 60V 20.8Ah military-grade lithium battery that is removable for secure storage. One downside? It takes up to 12 hours to recharge with a single charger. However, dual ports slash that to 6 hours, matching the DT2 Pro. Fast charging keeps downtime low for daily use.
The F1 Max shines as one of the best bang for your buck e-scooters. It blends hyper scooter power with everyday usability. Just keep in mind, even with its aluminum frame, it weighs nearly 80 pounds (36 kg), so carrying it upstairs might be a workout.
Folding makes car trunks easy. At $1,500, it’s a steal for dual-motor thrills, 45 mph speed, and trail-ready suspension. Perfect for urban warriors and weekend adventurers alike.
