SPEEDTROTT RX2.4 BRZ vs LAMAX eTank SA70 - Bronze Diva Meets Urban Tank

Fast Answer for Busy Riders ⚡ (TL;DR)

If you want the more rounded, better-value scooter for real-world European commuting, the LAMAX eTank SA70 comes out on top - it delivers serious power, excellent comfort and impressive range for a price that undercuts many weaker contenders. The SPEEDTROTT RX2.4 BRZ is the more extreme machine, with wilder acceleration and a more prestigious parts list, but you pay dearly for that extra punch and badge.

Choose the eTank SA70 if you want a tough, everyday workhorse that can still make you giggle on empty stretches of tarmac. Pick the RX2.4 BRZ if you're an enthusiast who absolutely wants dual-motor fireworks, French-brand after-sales support and doesn't mind paying a premium - or hauling a very heavy toy.

Both can be brilliant in the right hands, but they suit different priorities; keep reading to find out which one actually fits your life, not just your wish list.

Powerful dual-motor scooters used to be exotic unicorns; now they're the new "mid-life crisis" upgrade from a Xiaomi. The SPEEDTROTT RX2.4 BRZ and the LAMAX eTank SA70 sit right in that sweet spot where commuters start saying, "Maybe I don't need a second car," and wallets start sweating.

I've spent plenty of kilometres on both: the RX2.4 BRZ is the flashy bronze sprinter that wants to impress your riding buddies, while the eTank SA70 is the quiet, black-armoured bouncer that just gets things done day after day. One specialises in drama, the other in competence.

They're close enough in raw performance that you absolutely should cross-shop them - but the way they ride, age and hit your bank account is very different. Let's dig in.

Who Are These For, and Why Compare Them?

On paper, these two are natural rivals: dual motors, long-range batteries, real suspension, proper brakes and weights in the "please don't make me carry this upstairs" class. Both are pitched as serious commuters that can double as weekend fun machines.

The SPEEDTROTT RX2.4 BRZ leans towards the high-end enthusiast bracket. It's the spiritual successor to a respected French model, with posh brand-name components and a sticker price that firmly says, "I am not a budget choice." Think of it as the premium hot hatch of scooters - fast, well-specced, and proud of it.

The LAMAX eTank SA70 is more of a working-class hero. It brings strong power, big range and reassuring build without the luxury-brand markup. Less boutique, more "throw it at a bad road and it shrugs". If the RX2.4 BRZ is a café racer, the eTank is a lifted 4x4 with decent manners.

Both target heavier riders, hilly cities and people who want to replace short car trips. Both are too heavy for regular train-lift-repeat commuting. That's why the comparison matters: you're choosing a vehicle, not a gadget.

Design & Build Quality

Put them side by side and the design philosophies couldn't be clearer.

The RX2.4 BRZ plays the premium card with that bronze finish and a very "engineered" look. The deck is neatly rubberised, the rear footrest is a solid CNC block, and the folding collar is beefy. In the hands, nothing screams cheap - but there is a subtle sense that a lot of the budget has gone into the shiny bits you can see: damper, branded brakes, bronze paint. It looks great on a showroom floor and in Instagram stories.

The eTank SA70, by contrast, looks like it was designed by someone who got annoyed with things breaking. Square tubing, visible bolts, thick welds, wide bars, wide deck - it's not pretty in the traditional sense; it's functional, bordering on brutalist. But when you step onto it, the chassis feels impressively solid, with minimal flex or creaks, as if it expects daily abuse and isn't remotely worried.

In terms of build, the RX2.4 BRZ does feel more "refined" - little touches like adjustable handlebars and that integrated rear footrest show thought. But the eTank's frame and deck feel more like industrial equipment than consumer electronics, and that inspires a different kind of confidence. One is polished, the other is honest.

Ride Comfort & Handling

Both scooters take comfort seriously, but they do it in slightly different ways.

On the RX2.4 BRZ, the adjustable dual-spring suspension and chunky ten-inch tyres give a firm, sporty ride. It smooths out typical city nasties - cracks, curbs, expansion joints - without drama. After a few kilometres of rough pavements, your knees are still on speaking terms with you, but the scooter doesn't feel floaty; you're always aware you're on a performance machine, not a lazy cruiser.

The eTank SA70 turns the comfort dial a bit further. Those larger-than-average tyres and generous suspension travel make it feel more like you're gliding than riding. Cobblestones that make many scooters rattle to pieces become an inconvenience rather than a threat. The deck is longer and very wide, so you can shuffle your stance on long rides, which quietly does wonders for fatigue.

Handling-wise, the RX2.4 BRZ feels more agile at speed. The steering damper tames wobbles and gives a reassuring, slightly weighted feel as you push into faster corners. It invites you to carve bike paths like they're a track, within reason. The eTank, with wider handlebars and that heavy, planted chassis, feels more like a bulldozer on wheels - wonderfully stable, less eager to flick side to side, but very confidence-inspiring when the surface turns ugly.

If you crave a slightly sportier, tauter feel, the RX2.4 BRZ will make you happy. If you want to float over terrible infrastructure and arrive without your spine filing a complaint, the eTank SA70 edges it.

Performance

Here's where egos get involved.

The RX2.4 BRZ has more motor on tap, and you feel it. In dual-motor mode with everything turned up, it lunges off the line with that "oh, hello" moment the first time you squeeze the throttle. It has no trouble hanging with inner-city traffic, and on private roads it climbs into speeds where you start seriously questioning your helmet choice. Steep hills simply stop being part of the mental calculation.

The eTank SA70 isn't as violently eager, but it's not exactly shy either. For most riders, its throttle still feels properly quick, especially compared to rental scooters. It reaches and holds its full legal speed with ease, and once unlocked it pulls strongly enough that you never feel short-changed on power - even with a heavy backpack and incline. The delivery is a bit more progressive, so you're less likely to accidentally catapult yourself while half-distracted at a junction.

Climbing ability is strong on both, but the RX2.4 BRZ definitely has more "headroom"; when you pile on weight and steep gradients, it just has more reserve. That said, the eTank's dual-motor all-wheel drive feel on loose ground is lovely - it digs in rather than spinning uselessly.

Braking is an interesting split. The RX2.4 BRZ's hydraulic system has that fingertip modulation and strong initial bite experienced riders adore. It makes hard stops feel controlled and drama-free, provided you know how to manage weight transfer. The eTank's mechanical discs plus regen don't feel quite as sharp or high-end, but they are predictable and perfectly adequate for the speeds it usually sees. You work the levers a bit more, but you don't feel under-braked.

In raw performance, the RX2.4 BRZ wins. The question is whether you really need that much extra punch - or are just paying for bragging rights you'll use twice a month.

Battery & Range

The RX2.4 BRZ carries a seriously big battery, and you notice that in how long it just... keeps going. Riding briskly, you can do a long commute with detours and still roll home with energy in reserve. Keep it in Eco and respect the speed limits, and you can stretch the distance to the point most people simply run out of time or patience before they run out of volts.

The eTank SA70 runs a smaller pack, but it's no slouch. In realistic mixed riding - some full power, some cruising - it still covers distances that would make most entry-level scooters cry. You can absolutely use it as a daily commuter plus errands machine without recharging every night, unless you're particularly throttle-happy.

Efficiency-wise, the LAMAX does surprisingly well. It isn't dragging around quite as much battery and motor overhead, and that shows in how far it goes per unit of energy when ridden at normal-city speeds. The RX2.4 BRZ's extra performance potential is always there, gently nibbling at the battery even when you behave.

Charging is the shared downside: both are overnight jobs on the standard chargers. The RX2.4 BRZ has the ace of dual charge ports, which helps if you're willing to buy a second brick. With the eTank SA70, you plan ahead: plug in after work, forget, ride next day. For most riders, that's acceptable, but impulsive evening-to-morning power users will care.

Portability & Practicality

Let's not sugar-coat this: neither of these is a "carry it up three floors daily" scooter unless you're training for CrossFit. They live at ground level, or at least near a lift.

The RX2.4 BRZ is slightly heavier and feels every bit of it when you pick it up by that rear footrest. It folds down long and low - fine for a car boot, but it's still a sizeable metal animal to wrestle. The folding mechanism itself is confidence-inspiring: solid latch, minimal stem play when locked. It's more "transportable tank" than portable scooter.

The eTank SA70 isn't much lighter, and the folded size is more about making it less of a trip hazard than turning it into a compact commuting accessory. The tall, wide bars and long deck make it a bit of a rectangular block in the hallway or boot. But once it's parked, it's stable, the kickstand copes, and small touches like the bag hook and walking mode make day-to-day living with it easier than its size suggests.

Neither belongs on a crowded train. For rolling out of a garage, across half a city and back, both are practical. For liftless apartments or daily multimodal mixes, they are both overkill; in that case, save your back and buy something half the weight.

Safety

Both scooters take safety better than most car drivers on a Monday morning.

The RX2.4 BRZ leans hard into high-speed security: hydraulic brakes, steering damper, wide tyres and a comprehensive light show with proper indicators. At the speeds it can reach off public roads, that damper isn't a luxury - it's the difference between "firm correction" and "oh no nope nope" when you hit a bump mid-corner. The lighting makes you very visible, especially side-on.

The eTank SA70 counters with stability from sheer footprint: wide bars, long wheelbase and those big tyres. The triple braking system - mechanical discs plus regen - means you get solid deceleration without needing ninja finger finesse. Its lighting is also very good, with side LEDs that give you a glow-stick outline at night and an angle-adjustable headlight so you actually see the road instead of just illuminating tree canopies.

Where LAMAX earns extra points is in passive day-to-day safety: the high load rating means more riders are within the design envelope, and the PIN-code lock adds a first layer of theft protection. The RX2.4's key ignition is better than nothing, but you'll still want a solid physical lock either way.

If you routinely ride fast on open stretches, the RX2.4 BRZ's damper and hydraulics feel like the safer bet. For mixed-speed urban chaos with questionable surfaces, the eTank's forgiving handling and big tyres keep more average riders out of trouble.

Community Feedback

Price & Value

This is where the conversation changes tone.

The RX2.4 BRZ sits in a price bracket where you start mentally comparing it to second-hand motorbikes. Yes, you get strong motors, big battery, hydraulic brakes and reputable French support, but you're also paying a considerable premium over scooters that, on the road, don't feel dramatically weaker for typical commuting speeds. A lot of what you're buying is assurance and polish - and that bronze statement.

The eTank SA70, by contrast, feels underpriced for what it offers. Dual motors, serious range, full suspension, heavy-duty chassis and a high load rating, all for well below the RX2.4 BRZ's tag. It doesn't have the same boutique aura, but in actual ride-per-euro terms, it delivers a lot. If you're cost-conscious and care more about what happens under your feet than on the spec sheet bragging forums, it makes a strong case.

Over several seasons of daily use, both will justify their cost far more than flimsy budget toys. But if value is a key factor, the LAMAX simply gives more scooter for less money.

Service & Parts Availability

Speedtrott has built its reputation in no small part on service. Having a French-based operation with proper spare parts and a known after-sales structure is a huge relief when things inevitably wear or fail. Controllers, levers, dampers - you don't have to go hunting in obscure online groups; you can actually order what you need.

LAMAX, while not a legacy scooter brand, isn't a anonymous white-label either. Coming from consumer electronics, they understand warranties and logistics, and feedback from riders points to decent parts availability and support, especially in Central Europe. It's not quite the "enthusiast brand with a cult" vibe, but you don't feel abandoned.

Between the two, the RX2.4 BRZ has the slightly more established specialist support network within the hardcore scooter community, especially in France. The eTank SA70 trades a bit of that insider cachet for broader mainstream backing. For day-to-day riders rather than modders, both are serviceable choices; you won't be stuck with an unrepairable brick.

Final Verdict - Which Should You Choose?

If money were no object and you wanted a fast, refined dual-motor with serious hardware, the SPEEDTROTT RX2.4 BRZ would be a tempting indulgence. It pulls harder, has fancier brakes, and carries a bigger battery, wrapped in a distinctive package with solid brand backing. For the performance-focused rider who actually uses that extra power and values Speedtrott's service network, it absolutely has a place.

But when you step back and look at what most riders do every day - dodge potholes, climb a few nasty hills, cruise around legal speeds, haul shopping and survive questionable weather - the LAMAX eTank SA70 simply makes more sense. It rides beautifully, feels tough, treats heavier riders fairly, and doesn't demand a small fortune for the privilege. It's the scooter I'd recommend to a friend who wants one machine to rely on, not a toy to polish.

If your heart is set on maximum punch and you're comfortable paying extra for the premium badge and components, the RX2.4 BRZ will keep your adrenaline levels high. If you want a dependable, comfortable, seriously capable daily companion that won't annihilate your budget, take the eTank SA70 - and spend the difference on a really good helmet.

These metrics answer slightly different questions: cost metrics (€/Wh, €/km/h, €/km) tell you how far your money goes; weight metrics describe how much mass you haul per unit of performance or range; Wh/km shows energy efficiency; power-to-speed and weight-to-power ratios indicate how "overbuilt" or punchy the drivetrain is; and average charging speed gives a sense of how quickly the battery refills relative to its size.
