There is a new kid on the e-scooter block that is bringing a breath of sci-fi fresh air to electric scooters. The brand is called SCOOX. It is a newly incorporated brand by long-time electric mobility vehicle maker AIMA Technology Group Co., Ltd. For the uninitiated, AIMA’s history dates as far back as 1999, but it was a bicycle manufacturer then. It only embarked on electric two-wheelers in 2004, and so far, its prices have been considered relatable to everyday working folks.
SCOOX, however, is AIMA’s stake in the high-end market. SCOOX has its sights set on style-conscious young adults with its upmarket, smart electric motorcycles. It has a bold ambition to become the premium challenger in this segment.
The new brand’s maiden product is the so-called “Land Airship” X7 Series. Why “Land Airship”? I am not entirely sure. I guess that it does look like a flying contraption, except that it is grounded. The diagonally sliced-off design creates the appearance of hovering—if you ignore the wheels.
Anyhoo, the SCOOX X7 Series was revealed in October. But back then, official details were not available unless you attended the keynote. Fast-forward to today, SCOOX has published more details since it became available for order on March 11, 2026.
There are three models of the X7. There is the value-for-money Pro 65, and two versions of Max 80: a dual lithium battery edition, and a single battery “large monomer” edition. The latter is basically one large lithium cell, i.e., the traditional battery setup for a two-wheeler of this nature. Clearly, the “star” tech is the dual lithium battery system.
All three editions feature a triple-lens module headlight which boasts 14,000 cd low beam (cd is candela, a unit of luminous intensity), a whopping 60,000 cd high beam, and an illumination distance of up to 162 meters (~531 feet). It is a powerful headlamp that claims 30% better rain and fog penetration.
In addition to the headlight and taillight, the vehicle also rocks a secondary U-shaped LED light strip at the front. The light show does not stop there. LED light strip runs the length of the motorcycle on both sides, which, together with the sharp lines, imbues it with a futuristic vibe.
Now, we keep referring to it as a scooter, but in reality, it looks and feels more like a cruiser. Or more accurately, a hybrid of a scooter and a cruiser. And this categorization is not by looks. The engineering is very much in between. It uses a double cradle frame (dubbed “Zebra bone”) as motorcycles do, and yet, the motor is not cradled in the frame. It has an in-wheel electric motor in the rear wheel, which means it leans toward a traditional scooter setup. The battery is located in the front body, under the fuel tank, which would be in a traditional ICE motorcycle. However, it is worthy to note that the performance does quite put it squarely in the cruiser domain. More on that in a bit.
Aesthetically, the X7 is designed to turn heads. The headlight unit with the console and control, i.e., the handlebar, sits atop a supercar-inspired, sharp, aerodynamic body featuring a narrow fairing that runs seamlessly from the front to the back.
The X7 Max 80 introduces two centrally-mounted shock absorbers. The front boasts the first for a scooter: a single swingarm plus a multi-link suspension, featuring a coil-over. Not many motorcycles, let alone scooter uses front swing arm. Right of the bat, we can only think of the Italjet. The multi-link suspension separates the suspension from the steering function, thus enabling the suspension to function as it should without being affected the steering motion. The rear suspension is not super clear. We know it has a centrally-mounted coil-over.
The X7 Pro 65, however, does not enjoy this premium front suspension. It still uses a regular inverted fork. However, all three editions benefit from dual-channel valve ABS, dynamic electronic TCS, plus front and rear disc brakes. However, the Pro 65 lacks some high-tech safety features, including the millimeter-wave radar and blind spot warning lights on the rearview mirrors. I believe it also lacks an IP rating for the charger, unlike the Max 80 editions has IP67 rating for the battery and charger. However, the vehicles are all rated IPX5. Of course they are. How else are you going to ride it on the roads, right?
Power is derived from a Bosch electric motor, found in the rear wheel. Though I am entirely sure of whether Pro 65 also uses the Bosch system, or not. As far as Max 80 goes, it is powered by a 3 kW Bosch electric motor that offers an impressive 7.2 kW peak output. This allows the X7 Max 80 to rocket from 0-50 km/h (-31 mph) in 4.8 seconds. The Pro 65 does it in 8.6 seconds.
The X7 series offers riding modes (ECO, Normal, Sport), as well as seamless unlocking through six methods, including smartphone, NFC card, PIN/code, and automatic unlocking when you are near the vehicle—just to name a few. And all models feature a height-adjustable seat—a feature never seen before on any two-wheelers, except maybe for bicycles. It offers 3 levels of height adjustment, between 740 and 760 mm.

The X7 has a bunch of intelligent features, including, believe it or not, taking your weight whenever you are on it. All editions also get a 7-inch TFT display as standard. I mean, how else can it be immediately recognized as futuristic without a huge display, right? In addition, it supports a pillion rider and features a sleek pair of retractable foot pegs for the pillion.
