GOTRAX GXL V2 / Top Speed Run (GPS) (MPH) / Pros & Cons / Cruisin'

[@TheDrummerDude17]

I can confirm, this is one great scooter. I've been riding mine for a few weeks now and love it! I jump at the chance to go outside and zip around. It is definitely sturdy, smooth, and powerful. Even the LED headlight works great for riding in the dark.

[@kachiskid]

Hopefully will be releasing my final Gotrax video today. After 6 months of ownership, I still have it, and it's still working.

[@michelletoni3067]

I had my going over 15mph easily on a straight surface & even a slight incline, I weigh about 140, but it absolutely does 15 mph easy. The newer version has white logo on shaft saying “GoTraxx,” on it too, I love it 10 out of 10.

[@kachiskid]

So glad you are happy. I would like you to try others to compare with the Gotrax. If you can get on one with a double suspension, don't pass it up going for a comparison ride.

[@jcschmitt25]

It comes with an air hose extender. Make sure to check the box thoroughly before you accidentally discard.

[@kachiskid]

Oh no Joe, I have it. Just hard to take off without losing the air.

My scooter skips when I accelerate should I send back?

[@kachiskid]

I would.

[@STRxSTARBOY]

I’m not sure if I’m using it wrong or perhaps as the manufacture intended, but i think the mudflap in the back is designed for you to put your foot on it to brake as well. So this way you have 2 ways or more to break the scooter.

[@kachiskid]

VERY TRUE! You are using it right. I was just so excited at the time, I forgot to mention it.

@@milestone_achiever4634 do u get more mileage or just torque?

[@milestone_achiever4634]

Well, I was using a 2.5 amp hour-80 volt lithium battery by Kobalt. It's so fast, I was even passing cyclists on those race bikes. But that power is so short lived. If you're heavy on the throttle, of course it runs out fast So I purchased another Kobalt 80 volt battery but this time rated at 6.0 amp hours. I got that one refurbished from LOWES. Man that battery has so much capacity. I used it on my e-bike about 2 months ago. But the rear wheel came loose and I had to take an Uber back home. I left my apartment in the Bronx on a full charge. Made it all the way to 77th street in Manhattan and still had 2 LEDS remaining. Amperage is the key!!!!!!

[@68pishta68]

Ill add the battery is very easy to change if needed. Remove 2 bolts that hold the brake line bracket and the entire head comes off and the battery is in the tube, just pull it out with a pair of pliers. New one slips right in, no soldering or unplugging anything.

[@kachiskid]

Yup already made a video in the process.

[@68pishta68]

Also the battery "skeleton" support is pretty slick: it has the BMS sense wire tabs on the exterior so you can easily cut the shrink wrap off, snip and test each group of cells for a bad battery. Tape the cut sleeve back on and you back on the road.

This or the Swagtron Swagger 5? I like that the Swagtron has the app and phone holder and supports 100lbs more (even though I only weigh 130lb). But I've been seeing the range is better on the Gotrax.

[@kachiskid]

Same thought I had when I was looking. The Swagtron has to many logo's, and the distance is shockingly bad.

[@kachiskid]

@@shawnmendes8385 As long as you keep realistic expectations, you should be fine. Don't use it as a main transport, don't rely on it to get you to work.. 10 miles everyday or anything. It's a whole lot of fun though. I bought mine after getting ripped of on a Spin scooter. Once I got off, I knew I wanted one. Take it downtown and ride with everyone, knowing you own yours, it's worth it.

Make sure your tires are full of air. Depends on weight also.

[@cryo3215]

I know Mine used to go up to 20 mph, but then I fell of It and it broke. So I got a new head and they all stopped at 15! It's like a lock or something. I have gotten 5 new heads and they all do the same thing. Its soooo annoying

[@kachiskid]

Whoa, 5 new heads? Are you build them?

[@cryo3215]

@@kachiskid No I just keep on writing to them! Its getting annoying now, but they are still all doing the same problem. Maybe they changed a law or something, after I bought it so now they are only giving me the ones that stop at 15. On there website tho, they have one that says max speed 18, so something is going on here.

[@spacefightertzz]

Ya my gxl v2 stops throttle at 15.5 mph like as advertised. sure I can coast down hills 25mph but the throttle is cut off. You will notice that if you go down a hill and then there is up hill after that because it will drop to about 12-13 mph until the throttle kicks back on.

[@FizzySodaPop25]

Ok mine goes 25.5mph but it went down after it died and I charged it and it went to 25.5

[@kachiskid]

Bro, it can't be the same version. No way they even get close to 20mph. I need to see proof.

By the way I had my G2 rubber tired one for 6 months the back wheel that was all rubber broke off $14.00 that ain't nothing but the batteries die quick I don't k ow what batteries they're using but I'm guessing they ain't Duracell there more eveready garbage the battery pack sucks now and it's getting worse every day

[@kachiskid]

Yeah the older it gets the battery life decreases. Also we might be hurting the charging life by recharging the bike to soon. Who really let's it full discharge before recharging. It's not a fan of the cold.
