GotraxGXL V2 Electric Scooter, 8.5" Solid Tire, Max 9 Mile and 15.5Mph Speed Power by 250W Motor, Lightweight 25.95lb, Cruise Control Aluminum Alloy Frame Foldable Commuting Escooter for Adults 13+

Bought this scooter for my wife, who can go for some groceries nearby without driving a car. This scooter feels sturdy and well-constructed, with high-quality materials that reassure me of its durability. It is very easy to set it up. I assembled everything in 5 minutes without even reading the manual.Both my wife and I have not ridden the scooter before, but we get this on running pretty fast. It offers a smooth ride for middle and high speed, even on slightly rough surfaces. The brakes are effective, providing a sense of safety during rides. The acceleration is responsive. But sometimes I feel it is too responsive that I feel a little scared for moving so fast. So the only concern is that this one could not cruise in a slow mode, only middle speed or high speed. If you would like to go slower, you have to go with pulse-like acceleration to keep it balanced and moving forward. But generally, it runs pretty well for a commuting task. The scooter is a little heavy when I fold it and move it to the trunk of my car, but it is less weight than a regular bike for sure. I have not tested the battery life in the long term since I only take a few short rides, only used 1/4 of the total battery. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and recommended it to my friends.

I've had this scooter for about a year now and I use it to commute to work. After not using it for around a month during winter it stopped working when I pressed the down the go. The customer support was amazing! They sent me different parts right away to fix the issue and helped me troubleshoot (the console/handlebars and motor wheel needed to be replaced) and it's been working perfectly. Honey and Sidereal were the ones who I emailed with and were very responsive and kind!

As a 58 year old, not particularly athletic woman, I was a little hesitant to jump on the electric scooter bandwagon. But, glad I did!!!This scooter was a perfect compromise between being lightweight enough to get it in and out of the stairs and front entryway of my apartment building (must be carried), and powerful enough to make it up the steep hills in my neighborhood. I wasn't interested in setting speed records, and the 16 mile range is plenty for me. I definitely wanted something stable enough to be easy to learn to ride.I'm happy to report that it took almost no time at all to get comfortable on this scooter! Just one ride and I pretty much had it down pat. And if I can do it, ANYONE can!! It's easy to handle in traffic as you can stay stable going as slow as 2-3 mph, and quickly jump off to stop when needed. The brakes aren't at all a problem as some reviewers have said - the disc brake is on the rear so the scooter stays perfectly stable while braking, and I can easily stop or slow gradually. I was also very pleased that the scooter is rock stable going over bumps or small holes. The cruise control feature is very nice also...otherwise your right hand will start cramping up after several minutes.Max speed, I found, is around 10-12 mph on level ground, and about 7-8 mph going up shallow hills. The scooter has no problem at all with hills on regular city streets. There is a bike path with a couple of very steep climbs, with one getting up to a 30 degree incline. I had to get off and walk the scooter once, but that was only because of traffic on the path (and only people in skintight spandex and Italian racing bikes make it up there). I think it might have made it up the hill otherwise. I have no intention of trying to ride the scooter down that hill, brakes or no brakes. The battery range was maybe a bit less than advertised - I did a 5 mile round trip that included said hills near the end, and the battery was half full when I got home. So probably closer to 10 mile range with hills, but again, that's fine with me.Couple of annoyances with the scooter (but probably generic for all scooters). First, when walking it on a sidewalk or up a hill, the back swings sideways making that really difficult unless you fold it up and roll it like a handcart. Second, I wish there was a stand or something that would let me store this upright in my front hallway.For $300, this is a pretty decent machine. If not for the hills I would have preferred a lighter weight scooter, but given that situation this is probably the best I could have done without forking over more than twice the cash.

Overall:The scooter arrived well packed. No issues with assembling. In fact it was easy to put it together even for a girl - you can easily do it. This scooter is perfect for beginners. It’s not too fast (which would make it dangerous to ride ) nor it have too much weight to it. You can easily take it everywhere, even to the subway (I am a 115lb girl and I was able to do it at no problem).Speed :It goes up 15,5 on flat road and 13,5 up the heal (just considering your weight of course) Pros: I like the fact that after you press the speed bottom and hold it for longer then 30 sec the scooter rides manually and you don’t have to press it at all the time. Even up the heal. Cons: Up the heel scooter goes 13,5 considering my weight but it was not a problem for me and I am okey with that. But you know.Battery:It’s an easy to charge. You don’t have to pull out the battery to do it. Simply plug the scooter to the wall and you are good. The wire is pretty long too. Takes up to 2-3h to fullly charge. Some days I noticed it only takes 2h. Which is great compared to my previous scooter.The battery is my favorite part to the scooter!It lasted me quite a while! Which I was happily surprised. My old scooter lasted me probatbly 1,5h no-stop riding. And this scooter beat it for sure, so I would estimated it probably lasted me 2-2,5hour. It’s a huge upgrade for me.Riding feel:I like this scooter. The brakes are sharp, although it takes some time to get used to it but I prefer sharp stops to prevent you from accidents (you will get used to it). Speed in my opinion is okey I wish it would be faster but like I said it’s ideal starter scooter for beginners to keep you safe. It’s very comfortable to ride, it’s not too tall like my previous scooter, so I would say it’s comfortable if you are medium to tall height. I am 5,6 and my husband is 6,2 both of us were happy with it. The only down side to the bike is it’s pretty bumpy (the wheels are just okey) if you are planning on riding on bad roads - you should be careful, you need to get used to it and look under the foot to watch out for wholes or stones on the road). On good bike trails I had no issues but once it comes to the roads where the car drive - it can get pretty bumpy.But overall I am happy with the scooter. It’s a good value for the money. And it’s great for the beginners.Cheers
