Credit to you guys from your most critical viewer. This was a very welcome follow up video and seems to have been done with a good bit honesty. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Much appreciated!

[@luis3620]

Thank you for revisiting these and doing long-term review.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you for watching and commenting! It really helps to spread the video to a wider audience. -Paul

[@Seboobio]

Looks like GOTRAX is stepping up their game, thank you for all the reviews and hope you'll hit way above 100k!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much! We're so excited to crack 100k! -Paul

[@farhillsgangsta]

I love that Gotrax is positioning itself as a more competitive brand.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I’m excited to see them expanding into dual motor scooters and e-bikes. I feel like they are stepping up their service all around, now that the products have gone higher end. But they aren’t taking away the entry level stuff either, which is nice. They still have the GXL V2! -Paul

[@rikachuuu123]

I can't help but appreciate the significant improvements in these scooters. I'm very excited for the future!

[@cliffplummer233]

Really glad you revisited! Awesome review . This would be just incredible!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much for the feedback! We'll make more content like this! -Paul

[@kioshekat7931]

I have the gx3 and just hit 300 miles. I ride in Denver Co where I can easily go uphill in 3-4" of fresh snow. The salt and mud buildup makes me have to clean it more. You don't realize how much of a BEAST that thing is until you see it in person. Suspension has been great for me and very easy to adjust. It is just very difficult to pick up if you need to, probably too big for a bus to let you bring it on board if needed. I have to lock it outside for a lot of places. It is kind of difficult to lock up. I recommend a big u-lock with a cable wire. I need to adjust my breaks probably because of mud and salt but other than that I love mine. Now the GX3 doesn't have the underglow, but I just added stick on skateboard underglow twist lights from Amazon. I find the built in turning signal super handy for when I'm on a street without bike lanes

[@jubaerhasan832]

Love how detailed you get with the reviews.

[@thealyssacooke]

Thank you for these amazing reviews! I discovered this channel less than an hour ago, and I subscribed immediately after watching one of your other videos about these two scooters. Very informative, entertaining, and great feedback that you guys provide in your videos for your viewers!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Wow! Thank you so much! -Paul

[@nathanbrakband]

Thanks for the review! Appreciate the reviews and glad you'll be hitting 100k soon.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much! -Paul

[@kevinennis1631]

I love the honest, and in-depth, reviews. Thanks. You have saved me a lot of frustration.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad to hear it!

[@phd2150]

I really enjoy your scooter videos. It's important to have follow up videos as well. Thank you.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’ll make more of these! -Paul

[@4clodio]

Finally the kind of video I was waiting for...long term,warranty, parts,durability...customer service...thank you 👍

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much for the feedback. It helps me decide what we need to do more of or less of. We'll do more! -Paul

[@4clodio]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I appreciate 👋✌️

[@thehebrewnational]

Love what you folks do. Keep on keeping on!!!

[@lotusstyle6782]

Love your channel and look forward to each of your thorough reviews. Thanks for all you guys do.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much for your support :-) -Paul

[@lewiegun]

Really love these thorough reviews. I send people to RG whenever they ask about which scooter they should buy right now.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks very much!

[@anaflores4437]

Thanks for all your work! I’ve learned a lot and I’m confident I can make an informed decision thanks to all the info you share. 🎉

[@maassurf36]

The tubes will fail. did you find the same thing? they are not designed to fit on another.

[@k29king1]

When he talked about accidental throttle input all of a sudden my Hiboy Max Pro (very good scooter, super reliable for me and very well built) input lag only when going over large bumps makes sense now, its a software solution to avoid accidental throttle over bumps. Man the more I watch these videos about other scooters features, the happier I get with my Max Pro because it has lots of quality of life features that can go missed unless you realize how many scooters dont have these features.

[@MichaelAnderson305]

I picked up a gotrax about 3 years ago and have been very happy with it. Looks like they've really improved their lineup while keeping the quality. Awesome review.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Improved for sure!

[@bhaumikpawar6442]

I really like the long term reviews, helps us to know which scooters are the most reliable.

[@fliptonix4901]

I initially saw these scooters about a year ago when you guys had the test units, thanks for the long term review!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Our pleasure!

[@kassiechalk2119]

Excellent review, these changes are insane! I’m a huge fan of GoTrax, they’re really stepping up their game!

[@mikeosmond5906]

Thanks for the detailed review, run through the specs and comparisons. Very helpful!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Valkyri]

Thanks for breaking down the details and finding the best value for money! Thanks for sharing!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CeeJ67]

Good to see a follow up review on a pretty popular brand. Want to keep seeing brands push each other to offer “standard” features much like standard safety offerings and phone media support like with most cars today, while finding ways to keep out of pockets costs low

[@BrittanyDoerfler2]

Love that you covered all the bases that I wondered about in this video. I'd love one of these for my work commute

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@darlapeduzzi2734]

Thanks for the honest and thorough review! That's amazing that they have a 2 year warranty now too.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching!

[@e-scooterguy]

Great to see some full suspension scooters with long warranty from gotrax!

[@mattbrager2070]

As always Paul is always thorough in his reviews. Thank you.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much Matt! Your support is always appreciated! -Paul

[@amandakerswell4055]

What a tough choice, but this will definitely help! Thanks for all the info!!

[@joelouie222]

Wow! It's clear that these scooters offer enduring value and a fun ride experience in the market.

[@user-jc7yf5wh5r]

Great review, really informative, learned some good info, thank you! Right now we have an Explore and a 10X, Scootering in Alaska is a blast!

[@tswrench]

I wasn't aware of the GOTRAX line of scooters until I saw the reviews on this channel. Many thanks!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know! -Paul

[@maassurf36]

Don't expect a discount on any codes they don't work and I don't understand why the creators don't know this? Why are they supporting Gotrax with FALSE advertising. Creators Take your videos down until you have confirmation the code work.

[@davrain2527]

thanks for the all the good reviews 💯 subscribed

[@wallacetrottier3654]

Great review. I'm glad I watched the old one as well These look so nice

[@gonzo5869]

Thanks so much for your reviews. I'm trying to decide what kind of scooter to get. This was very helpful.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

No problem!

[@jackjones9467]

Informative as always. Thank you!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much Jack! -Paul

[@soullodolo]

Good review and thanks for the chance!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Good luck!

[@JeepAndThings]

Great 6 month review! Also, great find on the air pump!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much! -Paul

[@RogerFingas]

Glad to see Gotrax stepping things up - it's usually Gotrax or Ninebot I see whipping around town, and it's about time the budget market introduced people to what scooters are really capable of.

[@MatthewHo8]

Your video was incredibly helpful. I appreciate the effort and detail you put into creating it.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andrecorpuz8863]

The GX2 does look insanely good at the front and the color is really unique.

[@DrinkableTrees]

picked up the baby gotrax rival as first e scooter rider and I love it! just been using it to the local gym and park which is only a 4 mile ride total distance lol

[@InterventioN746]

Just right before the riding season! Love the 2-year warranty.

[@theillmeister]

Yay! Thanks!

[@Jim.e.Whitten]

Great review! I love they changed the warranty to two years.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I love it for two reasons. 1) great for the consumer 2) it means that they will be focusing more than ever on building scooters to last! -Paul

[@Eduardo-Poveda]

This is 🔥 thanks for the review!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

You bet

[@albertlum9219]

Thanks for the great scooter reviews!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much for watching Albert! -Paul

[@umarmundzir]

I love esg's and rider guide's videos. It really helped me to get my first scooters.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Awesome to hear! I’m so glad we could help. -Paul

[@zloiche]

Thanks for a 6 month update nice to see how it goes after a while. Plus it be nice to get one free.

Sounds great scooter. I love the design also Thank you for great review!

[@wesleyvansteenburg9970]

Wow 100k subscribers. I remember when there were barely 50k subscribers. That's amazing growth!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for your support all this time! We can’t wait to hit 6 digits! -Paul

[@vinjane3526]

Just bought one and I’m super excited!!!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Good choice!

[@vinjane3526]

Have it now and it’s awesome, I don’t like the engine breaking on hills and the brakes aren’t all that great, bent both, when I get to work put it in back of truck and ya, so I’m going to upgrade to bigger discs like you did. Any advice on brakes?

[@gumball6230]

I did recently purchase the GX2 thanks to the help of your initial reviews of them. Almost everything still stands true with the features and speeds. It seems they discontinued the usb charging port under the control panel with mine still having the labeled flap, but void space under filled with glue. Still an amazing scooter regardless, I love it.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

That’s so strange about the USB. Thanks for letting me know! If I do a one year follow up I’ll be sure to mention this! -Paul

[@kyleb4327]

I'm gonna be super bummed if that gx1 doesn't have a USB port to charge my phone.

[@fondaw6857]

Thanks for doing a followup review. Always wondered how these hold up

[@maassurf36]

The tubes and hubs are not comparable. the tubes are not slanted and will crack. They are VERY hard to repair.

[@carlstubblefield6413]

Thanks for another great review. This gotrax is now on my wish list.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks Carl! Good to see you again, and for all of your help at Rider Fest! -Paul

[@notslim1]

Very generous. Early congratulations on 100k. 🎉🎉

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much for your support! It's been a long road! -Paul

[@AdkElectricScooters]

On the lookout for my first dual-motor scooter.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Well ive been subscribed to both Electric Scooter Guide and Rider Guide and even got to meet, Paul, Ramier, Mitchell and even Mr. Vosk him self at rider fest 2023 though it was for a brief moment because he was super busy with making sure the even went smoothly which i think it did i stayed till 8pm that night. It was an awesome event and hope to attend again. Winning a Scooter would be awesome too. 😁👊

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much for your never ending support! I watch your stuff too! -Paul

[@tylerrippz4785]

I have been watching for around a year or 2 and I really want a scooter but haven't been able to get one yet but you help me have an idea of what features id be looking for when I do finally get one!

[@rickymoore2787]

Always enjoy the reviews.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Omg I had no idea what the best scooter was and have been really wanting one since ive got to college. Im kinda just window-shopping since a 1k scooter is kinda crazy lol but awesome vid I hope I win the Giveaway, Congrats on almost hitting 1k and Happy belated easter

[@Grubbytoe]

Let's go! I really like the look of these...

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Me too! -Paul

[@joshrudaitis8725]

Thank you for a comprehensive review. I was actually considering the GX2 after watching your earlier review. I ended up buying a Segway ninebot P65, which is a good commuter but does feel under-powered on suburban stroads.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much for your support! -Paul

[@whileistillcan9338]

I love the utilitarian look!

[@upstateshenanigans430]

My first scooter was a gotrax apex and it was the best built scooter I've had yet. I sold it 2 years ago and I know it's still out there scooting along just fine.

Great feedback! Thanks! -Paul

[@GraceLifeMinistries]

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Usually 265lbs

[@briancorban7749]

What a great ride and grats on nearly 100k!

[@1HAPPYBOY]

Still fun to see these in action! I am alos happy to receive the email that I may have a chance to win a scooter, I am crossing my fingers!

[@jacobcall3356]

Gotrax has come a long way for sure

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

100%. -Paul

[@Wearenotaloneanymore]

It really seems like Go-trax is the go to starter scooter. My dad recently has gotten one and has been in love with them.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Great to hear about your dad’s experience. My dad still comes out and rides scooters with my boys (9 and 6) and I sometimes. -Paul

[@circuitboyscott]

I love these scooters. Thank you for such a thorough review.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching!

[@stewart00311]

This looks like a good short commuter. Love the reviews

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much! -Paul

[@mcraven747]

Enjoy your review and I’m a fan of the 6 - 12 month post purchase review. The aspect of maintenance and ease of spare parts is essential for those new to the scooter world. On a side note, you guys should review the PUNK Rider Pro which is a very polarizing scooter, but is similar in price and performance.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for the suggestion. That’s how new scooters end up on our radar! -Paul

[@Aurelien-fj7vi]

Ok no problem I will just have to wait 😊

[@jmtravelz3418]

Gotrax has stepped it up I see awesome !

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]
