I just received my scooter yesterday and guess they have upgraded this model. Which I’m so happy they did. It comes with a more comfortable seat and it also comes with a better display that shows your speed, trip, light on/off,eco/ high and battery level.No more key to turn on and off. I weigh about 260 and this thing hauls butt 😂. Their are no hill where I live so I have no worries about climbing uphill. Great E-Scooter overall.

@jasonsmith7416 I love it! Ride it to commute to work every day. I agree, a speed display would've been a great addition to campus pro. I also think that gotrax should add campus pro battery to their accessories sale and the after sales service that needs to be further improved.

Thank you very much for your review of this e-scooter. I purchased the campus pro for my Mom as a way to get around town in short trips and sense of independence. She recently was in the hospital for having seizures but is thankfully doing much better now but can't drive anymore. So having this for her is a great option to help her feel like herself again. Just wondering your thoughts on a new rider/elderly person starting out with this scooter. Just want to make sure Mom is safe but give her freedom to get around. Monday is when the scooter is to get here. Appreciate your time and any feedback/suggestions you have. Thank you! Jess 😊

Hello Jess, thanks for the message. I'm sorry to hear about your mom, and hope she gets well soon. The most challenging things about the scooter are balance, throttle control, and braking. Ideally your mom should have a good sense of balance, or may further injure herself if she falls off at speeds up to 20mph. Secondly, throttle control will determine how fast the scooter will go. She can change the pedal assist levels to limit the max speed, and can practice riding in a lower gear until she's comfortable as it's more forgiving. Lastly, braking will determine how smoothly the scooter will stop. Ideally she should be able to put one or two feet down at a stop, and putting the seat to the lowest position will help. She can practice all 3 of these in an empty parking lot before getting on the road. I hope this helps

On Sunday I ordered me an EMOVE RoadRunner V2... (About Triple the price of the GFC). However, I do get dual motors, (350 and 500W). 26 Ah, 35 mph, tubeless tyres and more. But, I do like this GFC. It's great value for the money, has some good specs, looks good and 20 mph ain't too bad for a $500 scooter. Overall, a nice scooter for the price !

The one thing I wanted to know isn't covered lol. TLDR: I got a Gotrax F2 Pro, which advertises 15 mph and 7 mile range. In reality it only reached 15 mph going down at least 10 percent grade. It averaged 11mph, when battery was above 1/2, 7mph when battery was below 1/2. From a fully charged battery traveling on fairly level ground it only went 1.3 miles before being completely dead unable to move any more. I have seen dozens of video review for various electric scooters and literally not a single one has done a range test to see what range you actually get out of the scooter compared to its advertised distance. I considered getting one similar to this one on Amazon, but many require up to a $100 non refundable delivery fee. There is no possibility I will ever pay such a fee when lying about speed and range seems to be an industry standard for these devices. Now if one advertised 25 mile range, but you only really get 20, that would be fine, if I knew that before purchasing. But getting 6 times less range than advertised is simply unacceptable.
@ColinLeung
@ColinLeung 4 ай бұрын
Sorry to hear about your scooter range. I've noticed most ebikes and escooters get half of the advertised range with normal riding. I'd also look for scooters with free shipping on Amazon or the manufacture websites, and look at their return policy. Most allow free returns within 15 or 30 days if it doesn't meet your expectations, or is defective.

@@ColinLeung I'm reconsidering the whole thing. I started looking into safety reports. It turns out that because of the almost complete lack of any safety mechanism, combined with the extreme speed most are capable of, that they have an atrocious safety record. Its hard to nail down perfectly but on a scale of the top 100 safest forms of transportation, airplanes are number 1. Cars are 10, and electric scooters and bikes are somewhere between 70 and 90. Cars kill a lot of people every year. 46,000 last year alone in the USA. Electric scooters only killed about 250. Still when considering that there are 10's of millions of cars traveling many miles a day, the cars still overwhelmingly win in safety. I still think they might have some acceptable niche uses like traversing tourist areas where driving a car is impracticable or even impossible. However even then I would only consider a bike version and would not drive near other pedestrians. Shockingly about 20% of those seriously injured by electric scooters are not even those who choose to ride them, but other pedestrians who they collide with. This is also much higher than the less than 1% of automobiles which hit pedestrians. Sadly I think we need some laws imposed on their use restricting them from spaces where foot traffic is also common. I never realized how dangerous they were until now.

@@K162KingPin Thanks for sharing your findings. I don't know if the danger is from the electric scooters themselves, but rather the people riding them. I've ridden bicycles and motorcycles my entire life, and have a good sense of awareness, balance, and ride defensively. I cannot say the same of others. Several friends/family members have injured themselves because they could not control the power output from electric scooters/bikes. Electric scooters and bikes are readily available in metropolitan areas, and do not require background checks. You can download an app and go, so I'm not surprised by the number of injuries caused by them. It's been a few years since I obtained my drivers license, but I recall a CA law stating that any vehicle going over a specific speed (5mph?) must be ridden in the street and cannot be ridden on the sidewalk.

@@ColinLeung You could make the same argument about guns. What is the danger, the gun, or the person holding it? The difference is people who can get guns KNOW they are dangerous. The kids riding scooters, even many adults riding them do not understand, act, or treat them like they are deadly machines if misused. They treat them like toys. The narrative might change drastically if people were only aware of how fast things can go wrong, and how seriously they can be injured or injure others.

Hello Michael, I sold the scooter shortly after posting this video, so I wasn't able to test the range. Typically I've gotten 1/2 of the advertised range with sprinted riding on other ebikes/escooters. I did not have issues turning with the scooter. I could see how it would be more difficult than a standing scooter due to the larger tires and turning radius, but it's easier to turn than mopeds and motorcycles.

How cold is it outside, and how far are you riding? Lithium-ion batteries for electric bikes perform best between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5-26.6 Celsius). Below 40° F (4.4° C), the battery performance begins to degrade significantly.

I just have the Go Trax Flex and this summer I'd get about 15, 16 miles, but I never ride it until the battery dies. The other day I rode it at 52F and got to 14 miles and it died, but luckily I made it to the parking lot. Plus, my tires were abit low so that didn't help. Filled up tires & rode the next day, same temp. & got 14, but I stopped in the lot before it died so it probably could have done 15. So I'd say anything under 55F you'll may lose a mile or 2 and power is just a tad sluggish.

@ColinLeung
@ColinLeung 3 ай бұрын
Per this site it seems like you need a license. Rules of the Road Pennsylvania law is quite strict when it comes to electric scooters on public roads. The state considers them vehicles, meaning they are not exempt from titling and registration requirements as set forth by PennDOT and would be required to pass equipment standards and inspection requirements. However, most electric scooters don’t have the necessary equipment (like turn signals and mirrors) to meet these registration and inspection requirements. This effectively makes them illegal to ride on Pennsylvania roads. upperallenpolice.com/wp/information/electric-scooters-and-pennsylvania-law/

I got the flex ultra electric scooter today from Amazon and so far I love it but waiting for it to charge! Do I need to let it charge fully for it to go 20 mph also I’m 250 lbs I got the scooter with 500 w but with no key

It should be able to go 20mph with sufficient charge (30%+), but it's good practice to fully charge the battery prior to first use.

Is the seat supposed to wobble a tad? I have the seat post clamp really tight and when sitting on the seat it shifts to the left or right a bit, seems from teh top of the post, not the post itself
@ColinLeung
@ColinLeung 6 ай бұрын
A little wobble should not be an issue as long as the seat post, seat rail AND seat are secure. In addition to the seat post clamp being tight please double check the two bolts holding the seat to the seat rails to the seat post. You will need two adjustable wrenches to tighten them. Let me know if that fixes it.

Great video. Simple to follow. I have owned from a different maker a seated scooter for 3 years.. I love the scooter, but there support and battery management are terrible. I've replace 3 batteries in 3 years. Same problem. Battery won't charge. Do you have any knowledge regarding Gotrax service support and battery management? I'm 6'1". Do you think I'll be able to ride comfortably with my feet on the deck without having my knees buckled?

Hello, I've only dealt with Gotrax's marketing department, and not their service department, so I cannot comment on how helpful they are. I'm 5'11", and did not have any issues with knee clearance. There appears to be a few inches of clearance from the stem, so you should be okay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmbEZIOibJamZ7Msi=RcyF391UHy1xA0oi&t=33

I have the Gotrax Flex regular one and I ride 16 miles round trips on the bike trails; 8 up and 8 back. This one should go even abit further so a 10 mile trip is fine. I bought mine just a few weeks before this one came out or I would have bought this one. I just use the Speedometer app & it shows your milage and speed, plus even has a map that tracks your every move where you go.

@ColinLeung

The throttle is sensitivity controlled meaning if you apply 10% rotation and it will ride slow. It might be difficult to not overdo it, or hold it at a steady rate. I did not see an option to change any settings to limit the speed.

I don't know if it has a max rider height because the individual just sits on the scooter without pedaling like a typical bike. As long as your knees clear the stem and elbows the handlebar then it should work, but it might feel cramped.
