How far can the GOTRAX GX1 go? From full battery to fail at top speed.

Dang, you are a speed demon!! Glad you made it back safely! So, first off thanks for making these videos! You're the only one making them with real world rides. A few questions.. did you have this in sport mode with the blinking wheel boost turned on? 9 miles seems super low.... : / but on a good note, it seems really sturdy and easy to handle! Another question/request, could you do a max range on the medium (20mph) setting? It would be good to know if you can actually get 20 miles of rang at a lower speed setting.. and one other thing. I saw on another channel that you can get it out of park mode and back into your last speed setting by hitting the minus button. Thanks again for the awesome videos!

Well, I can confirm. They decided to glue shut the USB hub for charging your phone. Not a huge issue but just fyi for anyone ordering one now. I will say, this thing is sturdy, comfy, fast and sweet! I wear size 12 shoes and the deck is still comfy even though it's quite short, the width makes up for it. I can comfortably ride with my feet next to each other and still feel safe bc of the shocks and width of the deck. Breaks squeak only near full stop but I'm going to try adjusting them. The stem is solid. The modes are all awesome except selecting them is backwards and it's kind of annoying to be honest but like anything I'll get used to it. 26" wide handle bars feel like you're riding a mountain bike. It's 32° here so I won't comment on range, but if I can get 15 miles when it's above 60° I'll be happy.. thanks again for the ride videos and input!

Every corner for me is a hill. Jealous of that flat land.

An up to 25 miles range and it gets less than 10 miles if you push it at max speed, kind of of disappointing. I'm guessing that 25 miles rated range is probably with very ideal road conditions as well is weather conditions, rider weight and I wouldn't be surprised if it was done on the lowest gear.

I’m curious how much do you weigh? I’m 230lbs so I’m expecting less range

Ten miles is not VERY good at all. What's the battery size. ?

[buffalomind]

Nice ride while it lasted, but you had to have been pulling 80amp per mile to reach 9 miles. One would say simply add more amps to the 15 that are in this model, but the scooter is already cumbersome to carry down let alone up stairs. The problem is even someone 50lbs lighter will at best get like 14 miles while someone heavier will have to make it a round trip of what 4 miles lol that’s comical. 😳😁

Sir ur top speed isn't supposed to be ur average speed lol ur gonna melt those controllers. My 30 mph scooter I am usually riding at 24 mph. If u wanna be cruising at 30 mph most of the time u need a scooter that can top out at 38-42 mph.

wut duz it feel loke to be part of histery ?
