Gotrax Adult Electric Scooter with Seat, Max 19-25miles Range, 15.5-20mph Power by 350W-500W Motor, All-Terrain Tire & Wider Deck & Soft Cushioning Seat with Carry Basket

FINAL UPDATE 12/17/2024: All I have to say at this point, is if you take care of this scooter, it takes care of you. I learned how to get my hands dirty doing basic repairs, maintenance, etc. and this scooter keeps scooting on. The only thing I wish was better about this scooter is the battery. If the battery was longer lasting, this scooter would be an amazing competitor to commuter scooting. Also inclines really kill speed and eats up battery really fast. Personally I'm saving up for a fat tire e-bike with a better battery and faster speeds, hill climbing ability, etc. as I live in a place where fat tires thrive. Despite this scooter having a somewhat fat tire, it's not fat enough for the best traction. Hope my reviews and updates have informed you guys enough to decide whether or not this scooter is best for you. Flat tire/wiring experience update: It happens to the best of us. A small piece of glass penetrated my tire, into the inner tube and caused a flat. If there's one majorly bad thing with Gotrax, is a lack of footage covering basic repairs on a lot of their scooter models, so I had to learn how to take the rear wheel off myself to patch the inner tube. Taking the wheel off was a pretty straight forward process. Remove some screws, nuts, unplug power wire, etc. and the wheel comes off easily (you'll need an adjustable or socket wrench about 18mm, an Allen wrench set, and screw driver) . The tire however was a nightmare to take off as it was really tough. Fast forward after I patch the tube and assemble the wheel back, I try to ride but the power wire yanked and plugged out a yellow, green and blue cord inside the battery storage. This caused the wheels to stop responding, but the solution was to simply open the battery storage underneath the scooter, plug the colored cords into the matching slot, and viola the scooter is fixed. The whole experience was extremely frustrating because of the lack of resources to assist in basic repairs, but it is pretty simple once you know what you're doing. 2 month update: I ride this thing 8 miles total per day, 5 days a week. I’ve racked up approximately 320 miles total so far, and it’s still holding up well. The only recurring issue is the throttle. It seems while I’m riding in neighborhoods where I have to stop at stop signs often, the throttle will have an issue that slows down the scooter’s speed. This is typically an easy fix if you stop for a few seconds and restart the scooter. But to avoid this issue I’ve adapted my riding style in neighborhoods by switching from 20mph mode to 15, which seems to have mostly fixed the issue. Overall, after two months and hundreds of miles, I’d say this is a great buy for casual riding. Even on my bad days, it’s always fun riding on the scooter and even something to look forward to. Great casual scooter. Original review: Let me start off by saying that I’m 6’2 and about 250-260 pounds give or take. This scooter holds me up quite well, much better than I expected. My size only becomes an issue going up inclines. I can tolerate the speed drop off from light to moderate inclines, otherwise I just hop off and walk up until the roads are more leveled. On flat roads I can go up to 20 mph. Battery life seems to be doing great so far, but I’ve only ridden about 14 miles total so far. I’ll have to update later on as the battery ages, but it charges reasonably quick. The scooter performs smoothly, and quietly, just try to avoid pot holes and large cracks in the street. Also try to avoid any sharp objects that may be on the road. If anybody is wondering how it rides in the rain, well I can say it holds up much better than expected. The wheels keep their traction very well and I didn’t experience any slipping or sliding, but try to avoid if possible. I’d say so far, this scooter has exceeded my expectations for commuting to work. Eventually I’ll take it out for grocery trips when I get good locks. I’ve read that u-locks along with thick chain locks from kryptonite brand is the way to go. The more locks you put on this thing, the better. Get sensor alarms too. Get anything that deters and prevents theft. I’m personally gonna get a few different chains and u-locks, disc locks, etc. You can never be too safe. For only 500 smackers, this has shown to have great bang for your buck as far as commuting in a city goes. My destinations are never too far to worry about battery life. When I ride it to work, I bring it inside my post and top off the charge to prepare it for the next ride. Do not let the battery fully die, you’ll wanna charge it while it’s at least at one bar life left. One accessory I recommend getting is a bicycle turn signal, it feels sketch trying to hand-signal and only having one hand on the handlebars. Oh and the rear basket is a neat addition, although I do want something slightly bigger. Anyways, as far as my impressions currently stand I’d recommend this to anybody in a city. I was exclusively walking and bussing before I got this scooter, so it feels nice not having to get on my feet every day for a simple commute to work or the grocery store.

I’ve been using this Gotrax electric scooter for a little while now and I really like it! It’s easy to ride, super comfortable thanks to the seat, and the big tires make the ride feel smooth even on bumpy streets. The speed is just right — not too fast, not too slow — and the battery lasts enough for me to run errands or go around town without worrying. I also love the little basket in the back, it's perfect for carrying a bag or groceries. It feels strong and well made, and I didn’t have any trouble putting it together. If you're looking for a fun and practical way to get around, I definitely recommend it!

Update: After 7 months of riding, I'm still very happy with this scooter. When the battery is down to 2 bars, it is a bit sluggish on hills, but not a real problem. I've taken it as far as 14 m. round trip. Chicago streets are pretty rough, so my fitbit credits me with mountain biking! Really great for running multiple errands. I find myself smiling whenever I'm on the scooter! Original review: Easy to assemble. Comfortable seat. Sensitive throttle. Very sturdy. Great for city riding. As my knees no longer allow me to bicycle, this has given me back a sense of freedom. Glad it has a key, a great feature for really quick stops. I wish the foot rest was an inch or two wider and longer. The battery life and mile range is close to the advertised range. Recharges in time as described. Goes up gentle hills very easily without losing speed. Very sturdy. It is heavy, so you may need a ramp to get it up 2 to 4 stairs. I wish the rear basket was bigger, but I make up for that with a light backpack. You will want to replace the bell with a louder one. The lights are fine for nights in the city. This is a terrific scooter and I'm happy with the price and value.

I received my scooter yesterday, ON TIME and in PERFECT condition. Unpacking was easy and ASSEMBLY was simple and took only a few moments: lift and lock the stem, screw down the handlebars, insert the seat, adjust and lock, and screw down the basket. Tools were included and I'm quite sure 99% of buyers can do it all themselves. The scooter is LIGHTER than I expected and the clever weight distribution and high floorboard clearance makes it easy to handle. CHARGING is a bit slow ... but they don't claim otherwise. Build QUALITY is top notch - I am so IMPRESSED! Everything is sturdy and secure and there is no wiggle in the stem. Tires are nice enough and arrived inflated and ready to go. Fenders are nice and secure - no rattling or noise. Kickstand is thick and robust and holds it up nicely without worries. The basket is high quality, spacious and handy. The screen is functional and has everything you really need: speedometer, odometer, voltage, gear settings and battery bar. Took it out for a ride today and was super happy! The SUSPENSION systems are excellent! 2 in front, 2 in back, there are springs under the plushy, wide seat and a seat post with suspension as well - WOW! Feels like you are floating over even the worst road conditions! Fantastic. ACCELERATION is gradual and smooth. If you want something to do burnouts on, this is not it - but for me this is perfect. A smooth and silent ride. There is also a unique acceleration guard: If you stop at a red light (for example) the scooter automatically switches to 0 gear after a short wait, so you cannot accidentally 'take off'... you have to tap the brakes to put it in 'drive' again. I think this is a brilliant addition to PEV's which I have not seen before. (And I have owned a bunch of 'em) Way to go GoTrax! SPEED is good and as claimed. TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT is large, bright and functional. HEADLIGHT angle is adjustable but the amount of light thrown is minimal and too focused. If there was one thing I would like to see improvement on it would be a better headlight. All in all my first impressions have been very positive. It's better than I expected and that's saying something because I have pretty high standards and expectations. :) I will update again after some more thorough testing~

UPDATE : now that the cold weather is here is Canada and I mean chilly brrrr , you will have to bring the scooter in from the cold in order to keep battery life . It is terrible in the snow BUT is it lol . If you use the lowest setting ( in the cold ) and go slow you will be fine but if you gun it be prepared to wipe out . The battery has lasted me around 4 work day commute but I do bring it in and remember this is extreme cold weather commute (-25 to -30) . If you have to carry it in I recommend you be able to as it is heavy 75lbs . I have no problem female -58 but I am physically capable . I still love this scooter and I highly recommend it . I’ve had this scooter for almost two months , let me just say it is FANTASTIC & FUN ! It is not crazy fast but it is fast enough . I use it for my daily commute to work and home now ( 6kms) and charge it at the end of my 5 day work week . The battery lasts way long in first “gear” and it does reach 15.5miles . Second gear well let’s just say speed wobble at 20 miles . I’ve taken it down to the last battery bar and this scooter did 10 kms which I will test it out longer one day and still had pep and 1 full bar still . The grandkids also love it and have a blast every time they come over (11&15) . Will update when the Canadian cold weather arrives as I do like to play in the snow 🤣🤣🤣

Flex Ultra 500w-750 peak version review. So before I go into the negative points of the scooter I will say that the body of this scooter is solid, and the back spring shocks made this a smooth ride. Now onto the negative aspects of this scooter. 1. The most important one is the super slow acceleration. At a stop sign crossing into oncoming traffic this was so slow from being stopped that a care 3/4 a block away going the speed limit almost hit me by the time I crossed. Customer services failed to address this in their response, so I assume this is just how the scooter performs. My last scooter has the same power rating and motor and never had this issue. I do believe that their claims of this being a 500w 750 peak motor is false. 2. Speed and hilly climb issues. I don’t need to go super fast but expect what i buy to meet their own claims. This scooter could not reach over 18mph and any pot hole or give to the throttle and it would drop down to 14-16mph. On a small one block hill the scooter dropped to 4mph half way up where I had to stop and push it up the hill. Customer services response was that the hill cant be more than 10-12 degrees incline yet my previous scooter has no issues on hills steeper than this. I am also only 165 lbs which is 100lbs less than the weight limit for the scooter. I would never want to use this to put groceries in the basket. My old scooter was heavier than this one so that is also not an issue. 3. Stem fold inconsistency. In the stock photos and review videos the stem folds straight back but I found one photo of the handle bending like this. It is welded and the top where the handle bars mount is welded. You can only roll the handle bars. You cannot turn them. Customer services responded with adjusting the roll which wouldn’t do anything to fix the issue, which means they didn’t look at the photos I sent. With the scooter folding like this, it was impossible to carry or lift it properly because it swings the tire out which is not safe. 4. Customer service- This is obviously someone who doesn’t know scooters and is just sending out cannon responses from a book that best matches an issue. This is typical for most companies but extremely unhelpful and a huge time waister. I am not new to bikes or scooters, and Gotrex should at least give some mechanical training to their customer service team. Conclusion: If you only had straight ground, not hills, Weight 100lbs soaking wet, and no traffic this scooter could work for you. It’s really sad because the body of this sit down scooter is probably one of the best designs I have seen but the power is not there and not worth buying even at this low price point.

Purchased this scooter over Prime Days when it was on sale, it arrived within a completely reasonable time frame (despite the postal strike). I did have a moment of panic when I was unsure if I'd gotten the wrong scooter by accident; I reached out to Gotrax and their customer service doesn't hide from you, the response is prompt and helpful. I was put in touch with Sidereal (wonderful human, and excellent customer service rep, Sidereal did not let me down). By then it was too late, though. Curiosity had me into that box before I even got a response back. It was indeed the scooter I had carefully researched and wanted to take home. Assembly was so easy; just mount the bars, saddle, and basket. I was at it for just a few minutes with the included tools, and impressed by how solid and well-put together the scooter is. I was able to test the brakes immediately; quite solid, no stopping issues whatsoever. Then I plugged it in and allowed it to charge fully, and took it out on the road. The throttle is responsive, the brakes work smoothly and effectively, the motor gives loads of power (even on small hills, much to my surprise). The suspension system delivers a smooth ride, and the battery life is amazing to me. I'm so happy with this scooter, the features it has, the performance it delivers, and the company and people behind it - if you're starting out on eScooters, start here, so you can fall in love with it and the ride without issues, worries, or being avoided when there's an issue. Gotrax forever!!! ❤️

Absolutely the best, just need a better light, a bigger basket and it would be the best on the market period, don't know why there isn't mor of this design being promoted everywhere I ride this EVEERYDAY to and from work over 8km, rain or shine, day and night, and having used a few of their other standing scooters, this is by far the best one I've had. Good speed + acceleration, good weight, front and back lights, key start, the sealed breaks so I don't have to clean the all the time, good sized tires, and SHOCKS yes so, many very great shocks front, back, hell the seat has one too, not having to carry my lunch, groceries and things on my back Had a really nasty crash with a fallen tree branch at 40kph in the dark, and I can 100% say this scooter came out of in 99% better than I did, only a little scuff to the top of the handle screen meanwhile I'm in the hospital for 12+ hours, so well-built is an understatement Maintenance is a breeze, mostly just wiping off road grit and pumping up the tires once a month Alot of people seem to think they should be able to ride any scooter, not just this one up ANY hill like a car, but they can't and this one's no exception, though I've easily made it up hills beyond the standard 15 grade they all scooters suggest on this with very little slow down but you're not going racing up the really big ones that even cars can be heard chunking on to go up, so plan your path accordingly Battery and distance is great, I used to use nearly all of it in one trip on previous scooters, with this beast my battery meter doesn't even drop one bar in a full trip to and from work, which is great since I forget to plug it in often lol, I do wish the plug in for the batter wasn't on the bottom though, while not bad or anything it just isn't as convenient as an older guy like me would like (knees are creaky lol) 100% Would buy again, and again, love it
