Renowned as a trailblazer in the electric mobility sector, VMoto, with dual headquarters in Australia and China, presented a notable addition to its diverse electric two-wheeler lineup at EICMA 2023āthe CPx Explorer. Positioned as an “adventure scooter,” this electric offering signals VMoto’s foray into the burgeoning electric adventure scooter segment, following the trend set by internal-combustion predecessors like Honda’s X-ADV.
Developed in collaboration with esteemed design house Pininfarina and derived from the APD Concept, the CPx Explorer marks a significant stride for VMoto. The scooter stands out with its distinctive styling, featuring LED lights, angular bodywork, and a tall windscreen designed to enhance rider comfort. While retaining the convenience-centric attributes of a traditional scooter, such as a flat floorboard and a built-in rear luggage rack, the CPx Explorer presents an electric twist to the adventure scooter category.

Under the hood, the CPx Explorer boasts an eight-kilowatt electric motor, generating approximately 11 horsepower and reaching a top speed of around 65 miles per hour. This performance profile positions the scooter as well-suited for urban commuting with the capability for occasional excursions beyond city limits. VMoto asserts a single-charge range of approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) for the CPx Explorer.
Noteworthy is VMoto’s emphasis on the platform’s reliability, building upon the foundation of the tried-and-tested CPx Pro. The CPx Pro previously achieved a Guinness World Record, covering 1,932 kilometers (1,200 miles) within 24 hours at the Tazio Nuvolari circuit in Italy.
