Charging Your Vmoto Electric Motorbike or Scooter
Charging a Vmoto is simple: plug in overnight or at work with the standard charger, or use a fast or super-fast charger on compatible models. Here’s how long each model takes and how to look after your battery.
Your charging options
Standard charger
Supplied with your bike. Charge overnight at home or during the working day – most models take 3.5 to 7 hours.
Optional fast charger
Available for selected models such as the CPx, CPx Explorer and VS2 CITI – roughly halves the charging time.
Super-fast 6.6 kW
On compatible models, 0% to 80% in about 30 minutes – ideal for busy days and fleets.
Battery swap (fleets)
Exchangeable batteries and swapping cabinets let delivery riders swap a flat battery for a charged one. More below.

What does a charge cost?
Vmoto Swap & Charge
For delivery fleets and high-mileage riders, Vmoto offers a complete energy system – batteries, swapping cabinets, fast chargers and fleet systems designed to work together with its vehicles.
Standard & exchangeable batteries
Every Vmoto runs on a lithium battery pack, and many models can carry one or two packs. Exchangeable batteries can be swapped for a charged pack instead of waiting for the bike to charge.
- For 60V and 72V battery systems
- Up to 2,000 charge cycles
- Up to 0.8C charge and 2.8C discharge rates
Swapping cabinet
Riders take out a flat battery and pick up a fully charged one on the spot – no going back to base to recharge.
- Works with 60V and 72V batteries
- Unlock with an NFC card or QR code
- Built by Vmoto, including its circuit boards
- In use in London by Zenion for Vmoto CPx delivery riders
Fast charging station
When there’s no time for an overnight charge, fast charging gets riders back out quickly.
- 6.6 kW super-fast charging: 0% to 80% in about 30 minutes on compatible models (CPx, CPx Explorer, VS2 CITI)
- Optional 1.44 kW fast chargers for home or depot
Fleet & energy systems
Ties vehicles, batteries, cabinets and chargers together so an operator can run a fleet efficiently. Vmoto supplies its swap-and-charge systems to selected business partners.
- Suits delivery, courier, postal and taxi fleets
- Ask us which setup fits your fleet size and routes
Charging tips
- Use the right charger. Only use the charger supplied with your bike or one approved by Vmoto.
- Choose a sensible spot. Charge somewhere dry and well ventilated, away from direct sun, heat sources and freezing temperatures.
- Top up regularly. Lithium batteries are happiest when they’re not left completely empty for long periods.
- Laying the bike up? If you won’t ride for a while (for example over winter), store the battery partly charged and check it every few weeks.
- Check for damage. Never charge a damaged battery, charger or cable – bring it to us to be checked.
- Follow the manual. Your owner’s manual has the exact guidance for your model.
