@@christianmarmol3230 Yes, if you are on flat terrain it hits the 20 mph very easy. The only thing I don’t like about the scooter is when going uphill. It does not have much power to climb.
@@moonyvision that’s awesome enjoy it bro. When u get used to riding it i highly suggest trying the cruise control. Only use it when u dont have to stop for a while. Comes is handy on long trips
@@NISABSTUFF Dude I just rode 10 miles around my neighborhood as a test drive, this thing is fast! Way faster than I imagined it to be, I'm almost too scared to let it go full speed because I'm worried I'll hit an obstacle hahah so much fun.
Have you guys considered doing a review of an electric unicycle like the InMotion V11? Learning curve can be pretty steep, but once it clicks, great little commuting PEV that's very capable. Love mine :D
Just got one of these specifically because I have the original GoTrax scooter (I guess the V1) for over 3 years with no issues whatsoever. I imagine hundreds of miles on it. Still holds a charge and the tires are good but the range isn't great, maybe 10 miles max. Battery is a little weaker than it used to be but I weigh over 180 lbs and load it up with grocery bags as well so it didn't have an easy life. If I get as much use out of my new Gmax Ultra I will be more than happy. In my experience GoTrax has been a quality, reliable brand of scooter.
@@TCBBB22 I've got over 180 miles total on mine now. I've done plenty of trips over 10 miles each. I would say my battery will make it conservatively 25-30 miles on a charge. If you go full speed everywhere the battery wont last as long for sure. I would also check the tire pressure. The tires lose air periodically. Make sure its around 35-40 psi. Other than that it seems like something is wrong but technically the weight limit is 200 lbs.
@@CouchMan88 its a brand new scooter also 3 charges and 35 miles total only it keeps draining so fast perhaps of aggressive riding but still should not be draining so fast so sad
@@CouchMan88 perhaps did you have to charge thru several cycles before getting more range?? I do a couple of hills and then the batteries start to die out.
@@TCBBB22 I would contact the company or see if you can exchange it from where you bought it from. Should be good right from the first charge with range.
Where do you go if you need to replace a part or have it fixed with anything it needs? And what’s the average life of this scooter if you used it everyday?
Just got this scooter recently its amazing! The cruise control is a bonus that i enjoy a lot! EDIT: the scooter is shit. So many visits to the repair shop. Replaced it with Apollo City 2022 and couldn’t be happier
@@sideshowdrummer not much actually the whole bottom part is already assembled u just have to set up the top part and they provide the screws and allen wrench with instructions obviously. Took me 5-10min n i was set. It also needs to charge a bit before first use
Here is a Throttle tip for u guys that For some reason Gotrax never ever mentions 🤷🏻♂️ . The throttle only becomes active when the display changes from odometer to speedometer. So you don’t have to push faster or double pump the throttle, you only have to Waite two seconds after you push off for the display to change from odometer to speedometer. ………. You’re welcome : )
I leased an unagi for months and… it’s an incredible scooter but the range was like max 15 but I think that was at like 9 mph max. If you engaged both motors at 20 mph, you’d maybe make it 4 miles.
Just wanted to follow up with you guys, I had a couple questions about the digital display on the scooter: How do you change from mp/h to km/h? When I boot the scooter on I can see all the LCD information and bottom right it clearly says km/h. How do you reset the odometer? The manual provides no information on either of these actions. Any help would be appreciated!
Hey Alex, I believe u cannot change it. I bought my scooter from Amazon and when I contacted gotrax directly about the warranty they replied “please contact amazon as we dont ship our scooters to Canada” that answer probably means besides amazon they r only sold in the US which explains the mp/h display and why u cannot change it. Hope this helps
@@christopherjacquez8605 nah I just used the hand brakes too much. If u slow down by using throttle regen first, pump ur tires up, avoid large hills, slime ur tubes, switch between first and second gear instead of just staying in second gear, the range went up to 18 miles for me.
I bought it last week not bad , but I feel not much good in Brampton area because of broken roads at some places,, the battery doesn't go very well actually it just goes a little not 40 miles per charge at least,, the little tires and not good brakes can be a problem at times I was looking to return but still confused
@@_gurjeet.singh_ I have ordered apollo city bro. It has suspensions. I am hoping they would help while I ride on bad roads. But they have not even confirmed my order yet . Very slow. Its been more than a week now.
@@alexitanguay hey there. I am yet to receive the product. It's been more than a month since I placed the order. They don't let you know if there is a delay and keep you in dark. Also they take more than a week to even reply to your email. Extremely disappointed with the service.
I bought the scooter At the beginning of summer after putting 400 miles on it The front locking mechanism No longer locks in place correctly due to the fact that the metal has grinded down From folding and unfolding the scooter.
They currently do not make that specific part you either have to fabricate your own or Weld it together but then that defeats the process of finding and unfolding i currently have upgraded to a different scooter And keep in mind not everyone will experience the same problem But it is quite dangerous especially when you ride and the stem starts to wobble if the locking mechanism comes on done At 20 miles an hour It's not gonna be pretty
Wtf lol no it's a scooter for personal use unless the two people combined weigh under 220 pounds as well the weight limit. You're going to ruin this scooter
Depending where you purchased see if it's under warranty. I heard of someone else being in an accident and basically totaling there scooter and Gotrax replaced it for them
You're expecting a long range scooter that's well built for less then this? If you think this Cody to much you probably can't afford a scooter to begin with. Don't get a scooter plain and simple. It's dirt cheap
Got this last month for my first ever scooter. Well worth the money at under $1000 with all its features.

@@TheRealElectricOutdoors that scooter can be too expensive for some people
How far do you commute? I just ordered mine I plan to commute 12-13 miles everyday one way.
Well good luck to you my friend I had mine less than a year and the motor stopped and I paid for the insurance and that was a joke
@@TKO-1503 how do You like ur scooter ?
Thanks for the review
You're welcome!
awesome review and scooter!
Great review guys! Thanks for doing it. I got mine 2 days ago and have the same issue with the brake.
Is it fast and can u often hit 20 mph?

@@DavidSossa thanks 👍
Thanks for the review guys! Ordered one at the start of the week, pretty excited! Never had an electric scooter before.
Awesome! We think you'll love it, the GMAX is a great scooter
I have it. Just got it couple days ago. Sick ass scooter!
@@NISABSTUFF Mine arrived today! Just plugged it in, waiting for the battery to charge fully. So stoked!

Good video. Can you do a tutorial on how you altered the cables for the brake?
Killer review. To the point and looks like a great scooter.
Thanks! We have lots more content on the way so be on the lookout!
That cruise control is very handy and convenient!

Honest Review !
Where do you go if you need to replace a part or have it fixed with anything it needs? And what’s the average life of this scooter if you used it everyday?
It is really a true work horse i have one. A beast for what it is
Excellent review. Always interested in electric transit. Pros and cons clearly stated. Short wrap at the end also helped for considering.
Glad you liked it! Plenty more on the way, stay tuned!
I just purchased mine - waiting on it to arrive. They NOW claim it is a 500w motor, I assume they have upgraded since this video came out?
these two guys look like superbad!! XD
Just got one and it has a 500w motor. Gen 2 May be? Go Trax doesn’t have it listed for 500watts. Any idea what’s up?
Just got this scooter recently its amazing! The cruise control is a bonus that i enjoy a lot!
EDIT: the scooter is shit. So many visits to the repair shop. Replaced it with Apollo City 2022 and couldn’t be happier
So getting an out-of-the-box how much work you have to do to put it together

Hope this helps
I would just contact gotrax directly to get a straight answer
Only MPH
I thought the motor 500 watt for gmax utra and 350 warranty for just gmax , according the website
Check out the Escape E-Bike 65mph
Would anyone chose Gotrax or an evercross h5?
YES it is.
Should be getting mine in a day or two!!!! Save some money on gas!
Is it OK to use in wet conditions?
Yes. Water resistant although not water proof
Have you had a problem with the stem coming loose ?
So far no we haven't, it has been very sturdy
Any way to increase the torque at lower speed?
Stay in first gear
bought it three months ago. used about 10 times. Now！The rear tire blewed out！！！
What kinda millage are u getting with it?
No one ever answers the mileage question
Wow! My daughter or ex-wife would do great on something like this! Where gas is $10 a gallon...
Is this water resistant in case it rains?
Probably better off to just get Ninebot Max. Same specs, but has good water resistance rating, and looks better.
I agree ☝🏼 since Gotrax in general isn't the best. But it is water resistant. Not waterproof
I weigh 210 and struggle to get 10 miles range.
Really? So the claim of 42 miles is bullshit then 🤔

Is the suspension good enough for the US and Canada roads?

I bought the scooter At the beginning of summer after putting 400 miles on it The front locking mechanism No longer locks in place correctly due to the fact that the metal has grinded down From folding and unfolding the scooter.
Oh can that be fixed after that happened to it?
now I know when I get it, not to fold it and unfold it often or almost never
They currently do not make that specific part you either have to fabricate your own or Weld it together but then that defeats the process of finding and unfolding i currently have upgraded to a different scooter And keep in mind not everyone will experience the same problem But it is quite dangerous especially when you ride and the stem starts to wobble if the locking mechanism comes on done At 20 miles an hour It's not gonna be pretty
So there is no difference in that to the G4 except battery
is this meant to be use for 2 riders/person at the same time?
Wtf lol no it's a scooter for personal use unless the two people combined weigh under 220 pounds as well the weight limit. You're going to ruin this scooter
I got hit by a car and while riding mine and it was destroyed and it cost $800 and it was not even my fault!
Depending where you purchased see if it's under warranty. I heard of someone else being in an accident and basically totaling there scooter and Gotrax replaced it for them
I'm not spending $100 on a helmet.
It has a 500 watt motor…
Almost as good as Ninebot Max, but doesn't look nearly as nice :)
A
Aw the promo doesn't work anymore
Ya it's to much
Do you have other good suggestions for around this price range?
