I had an issue with my GoTrax SA1 after the bottom cover became loose and the scooter stopped turning on. I contacted GoTrax support, and Lydia was very helpful throughout the warranty process. She patiently walked me through troubleshooting, sent me a replacement controller and screws under warranty, and provided the correct installation video. After following the instructions, my scooter is now fully operational. I'm very happy with the customer service and appreciate Lydia's support. ... show more

  • Great for the price.
Color: Matt Black
Edit: Just 30 days past the 90 day warranty, the battery in my scooter failed. I guess I'm not surprised for such a low cost device. Good batteries are expensive. A new battery from Gotrax is about one hundred dollars. Yuck. ----- I've had the Gotrax GXL V2 for about a week now. Summary: This scooter is a bargain at sub-$300. Build quality is quite good. It comes mostly assembled. All you need to do is attach the brake cable and the handlebars. Go to the Gotrax website for assembly videos and instructions. The instruction manual that came with the scooter is out-of-date. There was a little bit of paint inside the threads for the safety pin which made it a little difficult to install the first time. Everything else seemed great. I gave it a full charge before riding the first time. It was mostly charged out of the box and only required about an hour on the charger. The light on the charger turns green when the battery is full. I did a 10 mile ride on residential streets and a bike path. I weigh 160lbs and the terrain here is mostly flat. I was at maximum speed for most of the ride, and returning home the battery gauge was between one and two bars, depending on the throttle. It was at two bars cruising and would drop to one bar when accelerating. I didn't notice any slowdown of the scooter through the trip. The speedometer shows a top speed of between 15 and 16 mph. However, I believe this is generous and the actual stop speed is closer to 13 mph. Regardless, this seems like a reasonable speed on a vehicle with small wheels. The scooter has two "gears" as Gotrax calls them. They really aren't gears, they are just the controller limiting your top speed. Speed 1 is the default when you first turn the scooter on. Its top speed is about 8 mph which is perfect for navigating sidewalks or anywhere that you'd have to be careful when riding. Speed 2 tops out at an indicated 15 mph, but I believe it is closer to 13 mph. The acceleration is quite good for a 250 watt motor. I have no doubt that the motor is capable of moving the scooter faster than 15 mph, but the controller keeps you there or below. Not only is that safer, but much easier on the batteries and all the components on the scooter (tires, bearings, welds, etc.). I think Gotrax did a great job here. As for range, I'm perfectly happy. My 10 mile trek was about as far as I'd want to go without a break. You'll see some poor reviews complaining about range. Keep a few things in mind. It is possible to have a defective battery that could cause severely limited range. Open a problem report with Gotrax and get it replaced under warranty. However, even with a good battery, range will vary with several factors. The heavier the rider, the more energy required to move them. A large part of the energy expended is accelerating to speed and climbing hills. The heavier you are, the more battery that takes to do. If you weigh 80 pounds and live where it is flat and you never have to stop, you will get great range. If you weigh 220 pounds (scooter's rated maximum) and live where there are many steep hills and lots of stop-go, then you will get much less range. That's just the way the science works. I did notice that Gotrax has fixed some things that people have complained about in the past. There was a bug that if you press and hold the power button to turn off the scooter, if you keep it pressed too long it will turn back on. They fixed that bug. Also, I was impressed to see that they filled the tubes with some kind of sealant from the factory. I bought a bottle of "slime" for these tires but didn't need it. Thanks Gotrax. The scooter uses regenerative (engine) braking on the front wheel and has a disk brake on the rear. I wish that the regen brake had a separate button to engage as that would make smooth braking easier. Even the way it is, it's fairly easy to brake quickly. Just lean back a bit. But when the regen brake kicks in you can really feel it slow down. Practice braking a bit before venturing out into traffic. Also, I really dislike the throttle lever. It is a little thumb-operated lever where you push to accelerate. It is very difficult to hold a constant speed at anything other than "full throttle" because as the scooter bounces, so does your hand. That also makes using the cruise control difficult because the throttle needs to be held constant for 5-10 seconds. Good luck doing that at anything other than full throttle. Those are my only negatives. Gotrax did an excellent job in designing this scooter. All the electronics are in the handlebars. The battery is very easy to replace. It is fairly light, smooth and stable. A great buy at this price. ... show more

  • Good first scooter, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Color: Matt Black
In summary, this is a good introductory scooter for anyone interested in using a scooter for any sort of commuting approximately 30-40 min one way via scooter (so you have the same amount of time to get back). Ride history: I am 200lb, 5ft 5 in, living in a busy metropolitan. I have commuted about 8 miles a day, 4 times a wk, for about 5 months. There are plenty of potholes/ cracks on the streets, and I feel every bit of it. I even feel the traffic lane paint on the street. The scooter rides fine when its working. Maneuverability: At 26lbs the scooter is manageable for me. I live in a 3rd fl walk up with a tight stairwell, and I frequently knock into the wall/ door with the handlebars because of it. I will somethings lift the scooter from the handlebars, or stem with foot mount just fine. Riding up/down an escalator is manageable; will sometimes rest one end with my foot to balance the scooter better. Range: I tend to carry a backpack and gets close to the 220lb limit. Will comfortably get 9-10 miles on a single charge. Problems: Issues I ran into were tough in part because I was inexperienced in these devices. Flats: Had my first flat, 3 months of riding this scooter. I know people who ran into similar problems in that time frame. Taking it to a scooter shop, the screws were so tight they ended up threading them, and I needed to get a screw extractor. Several people I know ran into this issue as well and I had to loan them my extractor kit. Also ended up buying a tire pump, and tire irons, but that comes with the experience of owning scooters/ bikes. Brakes: Brakes started to become less responsive about 4 months of riding. Adjusting them took time, and I never got them back to the way I remembered when I first got it. So I got use to just tapping on the brakes and sometimes just jump off for a quicker stop. Riding fast between intersections/ street lights is a little dangerous anyway, so having reasonable speed is tempering. Console controller: At about 7-8 months (recently), the scooter will shut down at 1/4 battery, and give me an error sign “30E”. Couldn’t find anything on the manual/ online. Finally got an anwer from customer service that its the console controller, ordered a new one, but is now shutting down at 1/2 battery. Went back to customer service (CS), and latest response was all sales are final. While I understand that risk as shown on the product page, I do not think I should be liable for eating the cost of a scooter part which the customer service told me I need to replace. Still trying to work towards a resolution. Terrible customer service: The CS has been terrible through all the issues I have had with the scooter. Even with help for a flat/ brakes, I go through a couple emails before getting any sort of answer/ explanation for it. I frequently receive automated responses, and I’m not talking about the ones writing “Thank you, we’ll get back to you in 3 business days” or “Thank you for the additional information.” Some automated responses include offers for an exchange or refund, and I would get this several times in the same email thread with one CS. Gotrax only offers a 90 day included warranty. You also have 30 days from purchase for a refund. When I asked for help re: the controller and I preemptively included that I bought the scooter from amazon. The response was to contact amazon for assistance. That alone is ridiculous because amazon doesn’t offer the technical support for a Gotrax scooter. Some responses were sarcastic. When I asked about the scooter controller and the diff between “GXL V2” and “GXL V2 with bell”, I get a 2 word response “The bell”; the photos are the same, and was therefore confusing and warranted explanation. The CS alone is enough for me to decide to never support Gotrax again. People I know have also received similar CS experiences/ misinformation. It is disappointing that a USA-based company can have such terrible service. ... show more

  • Great E-Scooter, Rough Ride
Color: Matt Black
EDIT: The company manager reached out to me regarding my criticism in this review. He stated that he would discuss my feedback with the factory that produces these E-Scooters, and they may release a newer model to solve these issues. The Customer service experience has been pretty good, although you have to keep in mind that they are not native English speakers. I have owned and commuted daily with this E-Scooter for a few months now. It's a great little E-Scooter, and it has fit my needs decently well. The speed is way better than my previous E-Scooter, (a Ninebot ES1L), and the cruise control is really nice. However, there are a few issues I've experienced with this E-Scooter. One such issue would be the tiler arm. Upon my 2nd or so month of owning it, the tiler arm snapped off, and my water bottle hit the ground. Thankfully, the customer support team at Gotrax sent me a new one, and it was pretty simple to install. Another issue that has happened recently is the disc brake. For some reason, whether it's uneven wear or the rotor itself being warped, the disc brake squeals like crazy when stopping from high speeds. It's annoying when I am maneuvering between pedestrians and they have to hear the squeal of the disc brake. Another annoyance, rather than an issue, is the lack of suspension. My Ninebot had a shock absorber built into the stalk, but this E-Scooter has no such thing. Apparently, it came with Pneumatic tires at some point, which were the intended tires for this E-Scooter, but somewhat recently, Gotrax decided to "upgrade" the tires to Airless. Airless are great for roads with tons of debris and are maintenance free, however, the ride quality is absolutely awful. I am forced to use the sidewalk in tons of instances where the roads are ever so bumpy, simply due to the lack of suspension. One more annoyance would have to be with the cruise control. It doesn't have any kind of indicator that it has enabled, which is annoying, since I will be going down a bike lane and when I take my thumb off the throttle, it starts slowing down since it didn't engage. Another issue for me would also be the light. It simply isn't bright enough to be safe to ride at night. I had to install an aftermarket light onto the handlebars in order to see. My final issue with this E-Scooter is the lack of range. The battery is inside the stalk, which leaves little room for range. It goes around 6-8 miles on a full charge, with less range during the colder months. It's great if all you need to do is commute around a campus, but it isn't so great for running errands. Overall, this E-Scooter is a great option for those looking to start out in the E-Scooter space; however, I would highly advise, if you have the money, to go for the Gotrax Eclipse Ultra. It seems like that E-Scooter solves most, if not all, of the complaints I have had with this E-Scooter. This E-Scooter is also on deals pretty frequently, and I picked mine up during the summer sale. ... show more

  • Good quality
Very good quality. Suitable for older kids and adults. Folds down for easy storage and transport. Battery lasts a good while. I used it for riding on uneven roads while the others used bikes. No problem keeping up. The kids ride it in the grass and up hills with no problem. Very easy to operate.

  • Very satisfied (with one slight modification)
Color: Matt Black
I haven't spent much time riding this scooter yet but I am enjoying every minute of it so far. I've ridden Bird/Lime rental scooters before so I have something to compare from as far as performance goes. Overall, the main advantages with the rental scooters are slightly better power and range, but at the cost of being heavier, not to mention that you never really know what condition the scooter will be in before riding; the battery level, brakes, other adjustments may be less than ideal since these things are getting a lot of use and bearing the elements outside. I can see why people like these because it is a low commitment option compared to having your own scooter (although over time it's obviously cheaper to have you own). Personally, I much prefer having my own, where I can maintain it myself and always know it's ready to go when I am. That being said, just like any machine (even bicycles) there is some self maintenance that is unavoidable. Performance: ( I am a 160 pound rider) On my last ride I went about 5 miles through a hilly college campus with lots of elevation change, starting from a full charge. The scooter performed well with good acceleration and only struggled on the steeper hills (not sure what angle the hill was, but it's difficult to walk up these hills for a long period of time). The brakes worked great as well and I always felt like I was in control (see suggestions below). When I returned I still had 3 out of 4 bars, even though I suspect that it may be approaching 2 bars (see cons below). The handling was nimble enough to move around other pedestrians with ease, and yet still sturdy at higher speeds. I did not get a reliable top speed measurement since I wasn't able to find a stretch of flat road that was long enough, but even so, I reaching about 16 mph easily without full throttle. (rider weight, hill angle, and battery level will be the main deciding factors for top speed) Pros: -Great performance/quality for the price -Sturdy construction, without being too heavy -Simple/ergonomic design Cons: -Battery gauge could have more bars to help show battery level more accurately. *It will also dip down temporarily while going up steep hills and then back up once you get to level ground. This is normal! Every battery powered device will do this when there is a high demand for electricity. You are fighting gravity going up hills which takes a lot of power depending on your weight. -Throttle is very sensitive, which makes it hard to engage the cruise control. To enable cruise control, hold a steady (very steady) speed for a few seconds and then you will be able to remove your hand from the throttle while it maintains that speed. To disengage, bump the throttle and it will immediately turn off. (I did not know about this feature before I got this scooter but it is very nice to have) Suggestions: -This scooter comes with a "safety pin" which screws into the scooter (near the red latch which folds up the scooter). I would definitely use this pin, especially if you are going on a long and/or bumpy ride. It's not technically necessary, but it gives me piece of mind knowing there's an extra solid piece of steel keeping the scooter from folding up when I don't want it to. The only problem is that it's annoying to have to do frequently. The next design should have a quick-release safety pin. -The first thing I did when I realized that the magnetic brake and disk brake were controlled by the same brake handle was add another brake handle on the other side next to the throttle (see picture) so that I could control them separately (like the version 1). I just used a standard bicycle brake handle and it worked like a charm. They probably went with a simpler design like this to make it more ergonomic/easier for the rider, but I like having the option to use either brake independently or together. As a side note, the magnetic brake works great overall and provides good stopping power, but works less and less as you slow down. This is why I typically only use the disk brake at lower speeds and when I need to come to a complete stop. ***Only do this if you are comfortable/competent with making such modifications and know that your safety is your own responsibility (not mine). Clarifications: (almost lost one star for this) -One thing that annoyed me was the implication that there was a gearing system included with this scooter and that "gear" 1 would climb hills better while "gear" 2 would be better for top speed. I COULD BE WRONG, but I'm preeettty sure(99.99%) that this is B.S. and the 1 and 2 refer to an electronic power limiter. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great feature to be able to bump it down to 1 for someone who is learning and/or a young rider, but let's call it what it is and not be misleading. I do not plan on opening it up to confirm this, but I have tried going into "gear" 1 to go up hills better and have noticed that "gear" 2 is better for both hill climbing and top speed. *Update 4/1/19: There is a weird resonance vibration that happens at one very specific speed/throttle. It doesn't really bother me, but it is strange to go from almost completely silent to a louder vibrating sound. I think this might just be a thing that happens with variable electric motors, since this also happens with my electric bicycle. I will update again if anything else develops. *Update 4/23/19: I'm still commuting daily on this scooter and enjoying every ride. My tire pressure was getting low so I had to pump them both up. The back one is easy, but the front one is quite difficult to get just right. The tire valve adapter that comes with the scooter works fine, but it is hard to remove it fast enough to not let air out of the tire. I had to practice several times to try and do it as fast as I could and eventually got it. What I would recommend: pump it up above 50 psi ( I did around 60) and then remove the adapter as quickly as you can. It will let some air out and hopefully stop around 50 psi. I gave the back tire a squeeze with my hands after setting it to 50 psi and then compared it to the front to make sure it was close enough. This scooter definitely rides different depending on tire pressure. I can go faster with normal pressure, but also feel more bumps. Lower pressure will give you a smoother ride, but limit your speed (and range). I would check this at least every two weeks, but just know that if you release air for more than a second then you will likely already be too low and need to pump it back up. I can fill up the whole tire in about 5 or so pumps. ... show more
