HX electric scooter – models from the light X6 to the X10 at Wheelyshop
HX is the brand for you if you want an affordable, folding e-scooter without fuss. At Wheelyshop you will find HX models: from the X6 at 10.5 kg with 20 km of claimed range, via the commuter models X7, X8, X11 and the X9 family, to the X10 with dual motors totalling 2,400 W and 100 km. The new S20 with a saddle, the D01 with an app and the X9B with front and rear suspension broaden the line-up. Range spans 20 to 100 km, weight 10.5 to 38 kg and rated motor output 250 to 2,400 W. Every HX electric scooter comes with free delivery on all electric vehicles, a 2-year warranty and access to spare parts.
In short
- HX electric scooters with 20–100 km of claimed range, 250–2,400 W rated motor output, 25–50 km/h top speed and 10.5–38 kg.
- All models fold and nearly all have a removable battery; the S20 has a saddle, the D01 an app and the X10 dual motors, off-road tyres and dual charging ports.
- X6 and X7 for short trips, X8 and X11 for daily commuting, the X9 family for 70–75 km of claimed range and the X10 for terrain and long sessions.
- No HX model fits the bicycle class that most EU countries define: all are built for 25–50 km/h and all but the X6 exceed 250 W, so they are formally treated as mopeds and, without national registration and insurance, are for enclosed private land only.
- Free delivery on all electric vehicles, a 2-year warranty and spare parts at Wheelyshop.
Choosing the right HX electric scooter – a guide to the models
Model names do not tell the whole story. Here we go through the groups, what range, motor and weight mean day to day, how comfort differs and what the rules say in Europe – so you find the HX electric scooter that suits how you actually ride.
HX electric scooters in three groups: the light ones, the X9 family and the X10
The light models are the X6, X7, X8 and the new D01. The X6 weighs just 10.5 kg, has a 250 W motor, puncture-proof 5.5-inch tyres and 20 km of claimed range – the easiest to carry but the shortest on range. The X7 (12 kg, 350 W, 25 km) and X8 (15 kg, 350 W, 45 km) roll on 10-inch pneumatic tyres. The D01 weighs 17.5 kg but has a 52 V battery, a 500 W motor, 55 km of claimed range and an app. The X11 sits in between with 19 kg, 450 W, 50 km and front suspension.
The X9 family is the core of the line-up: the X9 Plus (19 kg, 70 km), the X9B (21 kg, 70 km, front and rear suspension, recommended from 13 years) and the X9 Pro Max (22 kg, 48 V battery, 75 km). The new S20 is the only HX model with a saddle – 19 kg, front and rear suspension and 40 km. The top model X10 has dual motors of 2 × 1,200 W, 11-inch off-road tyres, 100 km of claimed range and weighs 38 kg.
Range and battery – from 20 to 100 km
Range follows battery size. The X6 and X7 have 36 V 5 Ah (about 180 Wh) for 20 and 25 km respectively, the X8 10.4 Ah for 45 km and the X11 13 Ah for 50 km. The X9 Plus and X9B have 36 V 15.6 Ah (562 Wh) for 70 km, the X9 Pro Max 48 V 15.6 Ah (749 Wh) for 75 km, and the X10 tops out with 48 V 18 Ah (864 Wh) and 100 km. The D01 gets 55 km from 52 V 9.6 Ah and the S20 40 km from 36 V 7.8 Ah.
The figures are the manufacturer's values under ideal conditions. Expect 60–75 percent in real-world riding – cold, hills, heavy loads and high speed all cut into it. If you need 30 km a day, aim for at least 45–50 km of claimed range. Charging time is 3 hours on the X7 and X8 and 8–10 hours on the X10, which has dual charging ports. All except the S20 have a removable battery you can charge indoors. You will find more options among our long-range electric scooters.
Motor, hills and weight on an HX electric scooter
Motor output spans from 250 W on the X6 to 2,400 W on the X10. The X7, X8 and S20 have 350 W (700 W peak), the X11 450 W, the X9 Plus, X9B and D01 500 W and the X9 Pro Max 550 W with 1,100 W peak. You notice it on hills: the X6, X7 and X8 manage 15° climbs, the S20, D01 and X11 20°, the X9 Plus and X9B 25° and the X9 Pro Max and X10 30°. In a hilly city the X9 Pro Max is therefore a better choice than the X9 Plus.
Weight decides how much you can manage to lift. Under 15 kg (X6, X7, X8) you carry easily up a staircase or onto the bus, 17.5–22 kg (D01, S20, X11 and the X9 family) can be lifted into the car, and the X10 at 38 kg is one you want to roll all the way to its parking spot. Maximum load is 100 kg for the X6 and X8 and 120 kg for the others.
Comfort: tyres, suspension, brakes and saddle
Every HX model except the X6 has pneumatic tyres of 10 or 11 inches, which absorb rough tarmac far better than the X6's solid, puncture-proof 5.5-inch tyres. Front and rear suspension is found on the S20, X9B and X10, the X11 has front suspension and the rest rely on the tyres. The S20, X9 Plus, X9B and X9 Pro Max have dual disc brakes, the X7, X8 and X10 a disc brake with E-ABS and a foot brake, the X11 E-ABS and a disc brake, the D01 a single disc brake and the X6 a foot brake only.
The S20 is the only HX model with a saddle and also has an adjustable handlebar – comfortable if you would rather sit than stand. See more electric scooters with a saddle. Cruise control is fitted to all except the X11, and water resistance is IPX4 or IP54 on most and IP55 on the X10 – rain spray is fine, a pressure washer is not. A model's IP rating tells you how well sealed it is – we explain the numbers in our guide to riding an electric scooter in the rain.
Rules in Europe for an HX electric scooter
In most EU countries an e-scooter counts as a bicycle only if it is limited to 20–25 km/h and, usually, no more than 250 W of rated motor output. It may then use the cycle path with one rider at a time, while helmet and minimum-age rules vary between countries. No HX model meets both requirements outright. The X6 comes closest with 250 W and 25 km/h, which countries with a 25 km/h limit may accept but those with a 20 km/h limit do not; the X7 and D01 are built for 25 km/h with 350 and 500 W respectively, the X8 for 32 km/h, the X11 for 35 km/h, the X9 models for 40 km/h and the X10 for 50 km/h. They are therefore formally treated as mopeds in most countries and, without national registration and insurance, may only be ridden on enclosed private land. The 20 or 25 km/h limiter is a software setting and does not change the classification.
Wear a helmet, whatever your age – see our helmets. Check your national rules via the EU overview of road rules and safety. The rules on helmets, age and cycle lanes are summarised country by country in our guide to electric scooter laws in Europe.
Service, warranty and spare parts for HX
Every HX electric scooter at Wheelyshop comes with free delivery and a 2-year warranty. Tyres, inner tubes and brake pads wear first – check the tyre pressure regularly, tighten bolts after the first few rides and charge the battery at room temperature. Order spare parts through our spare parts portal; enter the exact model, as the X9 models do not share every component despite the similar names. Feel free to compare with the whole selection under all electric scooters.
Frequently asked questions
Is an HX electric scooter legal in Europe?
No HX model fully meets the bicycle-class requirements that most EU countries apply, i.e. roughly 250 W rated motor output and a design speed of 20–25 km/h. The X6 has 250 W and 25 km/h, which some countries accept but not those with a 20 km/h limit, and the other models have 350–2,400 W and 25–50 km/h. They are therefore formally treated as mopeds and, without national registration and insurance, may only be ridden on enclosed private land. The 20 or 25 km/h limiter does not change the classification – check your national rules.
How far does an HX electric scooter go on a charge?
The manufacturer quotes 20 km for the X6, 25 km for the X7, 40 km for the S20, 45 km for the X8, 50 km for the X11, 55 km for the D01, 70 km for the X9 Plus and X9B, 75 km for the X9 Pro Max and 100 km for the X10. Expect 60–75 percent in real-world riding depending on temperature, load, speed and hills. The X10 has the biggest battery at 48 V 18 Ah (864 Wh).
Which HX electric scooter is best for commuting?
For daily commutes of 10–20 km the X8 is a good balance at 15 kg, 45 km of claimed range and a 3-hour charging time. If you need more margin, the X9 Plus gives 70 km at 19 kg, and the X9 Pro Max 75 km and 30° climbing for hilly routes. If you want to sit down, the S20 with a saddle and front and rear suspension is the most comfortable choice.
Which HX models have a saddle, suspension or an app?
The S20 is the only HX model with a saddle and has front and rear suspension plus an adjustable handlebar. Front and rear suspension is also found on the X9B and X10, while the X11 has front suspension. An app is only available on the D01, which also has a removable battery. No model has indicators or an NFC lock.
Are spare parts available for an HX electric scooter?
Yes, wear parts such as tyres, inner tubes, brake pads and chargers are ordered through Wheelyshop's spare parts portal. Enter the exact model when ordering, since the X9 Plus, X9B and X9 Pro Max have different batteries and components despite the similar names. Every HX model is sold with a 2-year warranty.
