Scoreboard
- V9 Max: 1 round(s)
- V40 Pro: 2 round(s)
- Ties: 2
The V9 Max is the most talked-about e-bike in Brazil, and the V40 Pro arrived as an alternative with a bigger battery. On paper they are nearly twins: 1,000 W motor, 20-inch wheels, hydraulic brakes, Shimano gears, NFC and an alarm. So the fight is in the details and the price.

Data from the listings; it varies from seller to seller.
Round 1: Battery and range
Winner: V40 Pro
The V40 Pro has a 48V 18Ah battery (about 864 Wh), against the V9 Max's 48V 15.6Ah (about 749 Wh). By the channel's rule (Wh divided by 20), that gives about 43 km for the V40 Pro and about 37 km for the V9 Max in normal use. The listings say 60 km for both, so the number that changes is the real one, not the advertised one.
Round 2: Price
Winner: V40 Pro
On Oct 16, 2026, the V9 Max cost R$ 5,959 and the V40 Pro R$ 6,750. The V9 Max is about R$ 790 cheaper, which matters to people who want to spend less.
Round 3: Equipment
Winner: Tie
Both have hydraulic brakes, Shimano gears, an NFC card and alarm, a left-side mirror and a maximum load of 150 kg. No winner here.
Round 4: Trust and reviews
Winner: V9 Max
The V9 Max is rated 4.9 with 96 reviews analyzed, and the V40 Pro 4.9 with 34, since it is a new release. With more time in use and more buyers, the V9 Max gives more confidence that the model holds up.
Round 5: Points of attention
Winner: Tie
Both have a weight discrepancy (37 kg in the spec sheet and 42 kg in the description) and a speed discrepancy (32 km/h in the spec sheet, 48 km/h 'unlocked' in the description). On both, the tire may be Kenda or Innova with no choice. Always ride within the 32 km/h limit.
Verdict
If your budget is tight, the V9 Max delivers the same package for less and already has more people using it. If you ride a bit more each day and want battery headroom, the V40 Pro makes sense for the extra R$ 790.
