Today we’re gonna be taking a look at GoTrax’s scooter lineup for this year - comparing and
reviewing all their models including the GXL v2, XR Ultra and Elite, the G3, G4,
GMax, as well as a new 3 wheeled option: the G Pro 3.
We also have a coupon code that will give you 5% off any scooter,
plus free shipping, making them a better deal than buying on Amazon – so be sure
to check the description of this video for all the deals.
First up looking at the GXL v2. It’s GoTrax’s top selling scooter, and one the most affordable
scooters on the market with a price of $350, and down to $330 using our coupon code.
The GXL v2 has a top speed of 15mph and a range of 12 miles per hour. It has a
folding mechanism to fold and carry, with a weight of 26 lbs. The GXL v2 makes a good entry
level scooter, perfect for short commutes or small joy rides with friends or family.
But for the price you’re paying, don’t expect all the bells and whistles or the highest of quality.
Over the years, some riders have reported quality issues after a while,
or the batteries eventually giving out.
GoTrax does have the XR Ultra and XR Elite starting at $450, but these are older models-
we recommend skipping these and looking at the G3, since it’s the same price
with a newer build and better specs. The older models like the GXL v2 and XR Ultra
also don’t feature the built in locking mechanism or PIN security found in the new G series.
The GoTrax G3 and G4 are a new design that’s more sturdy, with larger and
bigger wheels as well as a larger motor and battery so you can go faster and further.
The G3 retails for $450, while the G4 is priced at $550, or down to $520 with our coupon code.
The G4 features a 350 watt motor located in the rear wheel that can get you up to 20mph and GoTrax
advertises a range of up to 25 miles. With a 160lb rider going 15-20 mph, we’ve been able
to get up to 15 miles of range, with the 25 miles being in ideal conditions and low speeds.
Meanwhile, the G3 is the same build,
with slightly smaller specs- the motor is 300 watt so it only goes 18mph with a range of 18 miles.
The G3 and G4 unfortunately do not come with any suspension,
but the 10” tires do a decent job of handling most bumps and cracks.
Looking at the display and handlebars, they now feature a larger LED screen on
top. You also have 3 buttons on the left hand side, an up/down and power button.
They also feature dual security, with both a built-in retractable cable lock, and a digital
lock on the display. When you start the scooter you have to enter a PIN. You input it using
the up/down button and use the power button to unlock, and you can easily set your own PIN code.
While riding, you can use the up and down arrows to change the ride mode,
from Level 1 or 2 and you can also press and hold the up arrow to turn on the lights.
For added security, all of the new GoTrax scooters have a built-in safety lock with
a retracting cord on the side of the front stem. There’s a 4 digit lock that you can
quickly set by flipping a switch, putting in your own combo and then setting it.
Yes, it’s not the safest lock out there, and we wouldn’t recommend using it for overnight
safety. But it is super convenient to lock up your scooter to run into the store real quick.
In case you do want that extra range and you prefer your GoTrax in a shade of green,
the GMax has all of the same features and functionality as the G4,
but with a larger battery that gives you an extra 20 miles of range.
Those extra miles will cost you an extra $150, with the GMax currently sitting at $699,
but you’ll save another $35 with our coupon code.
GoTrax also sells the GMax Ultra, which goes slightly further with a 45 mile range,
but also at a higher cost of $799 retail, or $759 with our coupon.
Finally, we know the G Pro 3 won’t be for everybody, but there’s people out there
that aren’t comfortable on 2 wheels, so this is a good option if you’re looking for more stability.
The G Pro 3 is also the only GoTrax scooter that offers suspension,
with dual shocks for the rear wheels.
Aside from that, you’ll find the same functionality and attached
lock - with a top speed of 15 mph and a range of up to 24 miles.
At $899, or $854 with our coupon code, the G Pro 3 is definitely on the more expensive side,
and we wish it packed a higher range for that price tag.
