  • GoTrax Rival Assembly & Review. In this video I go over assembling the Gotrax Rival and also my thoughts after riding about 10 miles on it. Overall I like it, however, I would definitely shoot for an e-scooter with larger wheels. At least 10". A 10 inch wheel with sufficient suspension (which this had zero) should make for a very smooth ride in most conditions.
    You can find the GoTrax Rival at Walmart like I did for $298: tinyurl.com/5pjaeca9

    I'm going to test some 10 inch tire scooters and then some e-bikes. Stay tuned!

    Been riding mine for 2 days, love it. It's so easy and I don't need to go over 8mph. Climbs up my steep driveway with ease and handles the gravel road with ease. Great product.

      Yeah the torque on that thing is crazy! I got one with 14" wheels that I ended up returning yesterday. The campus. The campus pro was on clearance for $200! I missed that. But I had issues with the campus that I'll report on in a week or two after the video is done.

    I bought a Segway during a kick starter campaign almost 5 years ago now for around $300. It still works great and is very very convenient when you need to travel somewhere that is a little too far to walk but not far enough to drive.
    I live in NYC and use this thing instead of taking the subway so it definitely saves me money. But since mine folds and can be carried pretty easily I often use it to drop off my car or on my daily commute from the suburbs to NYC for work.
    It's well worth the money and for my use it's worked perfectly for the last 4+ years.

    @UPdan Před 9 měsíci +3

    You should be able to adjust the back brakes so it doesn't throw you. I ordered this for the ease of small rides and something to put in the car easy. $198 a great deal plus 3 year warranty plan. Easy to return to Walmart.

    It’s definitely limited to that 15.5. Im 230 pounds and it’s getting 15.5 easily on the flat. It will go like .3 more but slows down after that. I bet it’s got a good 18-19 in her

    Just wondering, how close to the 12.5 mile range do you get on a full charge given your weight?

    • @ToolDeals
      @ToolDeals  Před 8 měsíci +1

      That's a good question. I'm about 165 on it. That'll impact speed as well. I've been sick but also tested the GoTrax Campus which... ironically is no longer for sale, but those larger tires COMPLETELY change the feel of these things. I think it's almost a necessity unless you know for a fact you'll be on flat land. Scooters with the larger tires tend to have bigger batteries, more power and longer range, and the Campus was just $100 more than this one. Mine was defective though. It was also obviously larger and heavier.

    The 8.5 tire is inflatable no solid like most so it's a much better ride and takes bumps better, the disc brake is on the rear so not sure how you can flip it!

      😂 I acutally bought one today and it was $150 off on sale. It has a seat, and suspension. I don't think I'd go for one without spring shocks and AT LEAST 10" tires. I hit a patch of sidewalk that was a little rough, on a bike you wouldn't have even felt it. It shook my body so bad I couldn't see straight!
