  • Amazing scooter, but worth the price?
Have had for maybe 4 months now (about to roll 150 miles) and has worked perfectly. I really enjoy the lights on the front and back and the suspension helps too. I have never actually rode it 18 miles straight (without turning it off), but based on the battery life when I go for longer rides (10-12 miles) It can probably go for 18 or maybe a little under. The solid tires don't have as much give, so make for a less comfortable ride, but with the suspension in the back it is a fairly smooth ride. I love that it can go 18 mph it is really fast and the ability for it to fold up is great for carrying it around (pretty heavy though) and transportation. Overall great scooter it tends to change price quite a bit, so maybe wait (I got it for $300) but I recommend buying! ... show more

  • Game Changer for My Daily Commute
I was a little skeptical at first, but the Gotrax APEX completely exceeded my expectations. The build quality is solid—definitely feels premium with the all-aluminum body. I use it daily for my 4-mile commute and still have battery to spare. It hits 15.5 mph easily, and the ride is super smooth. The digital display is large and clear, even in bright sunlight. I also love how easily it folds—takes me seconds to stash it under my desk at work. It’s lightweight, responsive, and gives me that perfect balance between speed and safety. If you’re tired of traffic or just want a more fun way to get around town, this scooter is 100% worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to ditch the car or just zip around without the hassle! ... show more

  • Great lightweight scooter (32 pounds) for flat surface errands.
The media could not be loaded. 7/2025 UPDATE: It seems impossible to change a tire on this thing without BREAKING off the reflectors to get to the screws. The only video I have found showing how to do it used a chisel and hammer to break them off. Surely there is a better way? I was never a “scooter person” until I got a large, heavy and expensive scooter two years ago. I soon was using it for places I used to drive to — to the store, to get a hair cut, etc. While I love that scooter, it was so big, bulky and heavy I never took it anywhere. I wanted something small that I could easily carry up/down stairs and load in to a car without back strain. This Gotrax Apex Max, at half the cost of my bigger scooter, is something I am glad to have in addition to my “heavy lifting” big scooter. Assembly went super quick — much easier than my other scooter. The unit comes in two pieces — the base with the wheels and handlebar shaft, and the handlebar with display. There are basically three steps: 1. Pull out a cable from the shaft and handlebar and connect them together, then stuff it back in the shaft. 2. Put the brake cable end in a slot and run the cable through it. 3. Put the handlebars in to the shaft and use the included Allen wrench and two screws to tighten it in place. The power supply is a base with the barrel connector on it, and a separate power cable that plugs in to it. There is a rubber cap you pop open to get to the charging jack, then you just plug it all in. The manual says a RED light on the charger means charging, and GREEN means charged. When I plugged mine up, it immediately went to green and stayed green. However, turning on the scooter shows a battery meter with a four segment display which only showed three of them full. I found out later that I just did not have the barrel connector plugged all the way in. The charger shows green even when not plugged in. My second charge, I figured this out and was able to fully charge the scooter. First ride only got 8 miles, due to not being fully charged. When the battery is on the last block of the four-segment display, it gives you no warning — it just starts to blink and that’s it. The intent of a short-range scooter like this is that you’d charge it regularly, versus a larger scooter that you might only charge every few dozen rides. At 32 pounds, the scooter is about the same weight as four gallons of milk. When my back is having problems, I cannot carry my other scooter, so I expect this one will be very good at saving my back. I contacted support to ask some questions (before I figured out how the charger plug works). I wrote them on Aug 28 4:38 pm, and they responded Aug 31 1:16am. That is a surprisingly fast response time, considering how late in the day I wrote them. While my big scooter can handle large hills, smaller scooters like this are designed for more level community. I used the level app in my phone to test some hills. At a 2% incline, the scooter had no issue. Once the angle got to be around 5%, the scooter would slow down. It can still handle small hills — it just takes longer to get up to speed. Anything too steeper and this small scooter can’t do it. (I have two very large hills I travel regularly; I use my big scooter for that, and this for everything else.) Folding down handlebar takes two hands. One has to left a lever and the other has to pull out a captive-pin. This is tricky to do at first, then becomes simple once you figure it out. There is one power button on the control. It does the following: 1. Press it to turn power on. 2. Hold it down for about 5 seconds to turn power off. 3. Tap it to turn the headlight/taillight on. Tap again to turn it off. 4. Hold it for about 2-3 seconds to change gears (1 or 2, adjusting the max speed). According to the Gotrax website, you can get up to 15 miles on a charge. I assume this to mean on flat surfaces with a lightweight rider. Since the scooter claims to handle riders of up to 265 pounds, I do not expect you’d see that same range with a heavier rider. I have taken my to 12, then I charge it back up since when you run out, it just stops. You get down to the last block of the four-segment power display then it shuts off the motor and starts blinking. If you think you might become a scooter person, the thing to consider is: where will you be riding? If you have alot of hills, or are a heavier person and/or need extended range, you need to look at some of the higher end Gotrax models. If you want something for running around the neighborhood and do not have steep hills, this is where I’d start — its lightweight so you may actually use it. If you get a big heavy scooter and have to carry it up/down stairs to ride it, you may find yourself just getting in the car instead. I have a much better/fancier scooter with more features, but now I only take it out when I need to go extended distances or tackle big hills. For all other trips, I am using this Gotrax. I even took it in the car on a weekend road trip so I’d have something with me in case I needed to run to a store to get something. ... show more

  • Flaw in the design, but love.
The media could not be loaded. The main power to the front wheel has a design flaw. When you turn over time (we’ve had this for only 4 months) the wire rubs and then completely cuts over time. It no longer works. Other than it not working, we are completely satisfied with the product. Easy to ride, the deck is sound, wheels are great. Just disappointed in the design flaw. ... show more

  • UPDATE: Much Better Experience
I've ridden many electric scooters, from cheap ones to expensive ones, and I have never ridden anything that is close to being as bad as this is. This thing came with a broken clip straight out of the box, and that should have been enough for me to return it then and there, but I decided to give it a chance. For one, both speed and range are completely different from advertised. You'll never go fast enough and never go far enough to make the experience this scooter provides worth it. It's rough, despite the built-in suspension, the brakes are harsh and terrible, and it forces you to use cruise control even if you don't want to which makes for a borderline dangerous riding experience. But even with the issues listed above, nothing comes close to the fact that both the rear fender, and the wiring for the brake light snapped off after only a few rides. This is a super common issue apparently and it's a huge design flaw especially in something that costs this much. Buy a Segway Ninebot scooter instead and actually get a nice piece of machinery unlike this overpriced garbage. Update: 8/15/25 GoTrax reached out to me and offered a new unit for me to test out, and this has been a much different experience altogether. Nothing was broken out of the box and the glitches with speed and range seem to be completely nonexistent! I am a bit dubious on the rear fender after the first experience, but everything has been going well so far. What really gets me though is the customer service this company provides. They reached out to me, offered to make things right, and have even contacted multiple times since to make sure everything is going well. I was a bit upset when I wrote the initial review, but my mind has been changed 100%. This is actually a pretty great scooter, backed by even better customer service. ... show more
