5.0 out of 5 stars Great scooter with easy setup
I recently purchased this scooter and I’m very impressed! The shipping was fast—it arrived four days earlier than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. It came well-packaged in a large box, and most of the scooter was already assembled, which made the setup super easy. With the clear instructions provided, it took me only a few minutes to finish assembling the rest.I like the front and rear lights, which are perfect for evening rides and add an extra layer of safety. There’s also a paddle that supports the scooter when parked, which is really convenient. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase—it’s well-made, stylish, and a great value for the price. Highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded expectations!
My first electric scooter. The scooter market is confusing, so I just went with something that has the best reviews. The shipping was unexpectedly quick! I had to receive it in a week, but I received it in 3 days. I have used it for 2 days now and have found it to be well balanced and stable for a first time user. The condition of the scooter was immaculate, it charged in like 1 hour. (I think it had some battery). The assembly was fast, has all the screws and everything to get you started. It is kickstart, which is a safety feature. I rode for about 4 miles on this thing and the ride was smooth; I am upgrading from a cycle, so I definitely felt like I was going much, much faster. Very satisfied at this price point! Hopefully, it will keep working with the same performance!
5.0 out of 5 stars sturdy and reliable - Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter, Honeycomb Solid Tires 250 Watt, max 15.5mph
sturdy and reliable - review update - Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter, Internal Honeycomb Solid Tires 250 Watt motor up to 15.5mph-March 30, 2024 Update - updated solid tire version-EXECUTIVE SUMMARYWith modifications such as its new honeycomb internal structure solid tires (see photo figure 6), its new base of tiller reinforcement band (see photo figure 5), disc brakes, cruise control, real 15 mph flat surface top speed, and the all metal undercarriage plate it had already (see photo figure 4), this 250 Watt entry level Electric Kick Scooter is a five star product.-Among the most important attributes of the entry level Gotrax APEX XL Electric Kick Scooter are its sturdiness and its reliability.-CONSTRUCTION FEATURES (UPDATED)- sturdy all metal undercarriage base plate (essential for any and all e-scooters!)- heavy duty reinforcement band at the base of its tiller (its vertical mast) (see photo figure 5)- Superbly designed folding mechanism that folds at its base platform, not higher up (see photo figure 3)- large bright LCD control panel- stainless steel disc brakes.- honeycomb internal structure solid tires (no more flat inner tubes) and actually a smoother ride!- (see photo figure 6)--USER INTERACTION FEATURES- drive by wire acceleration with cruise control.- stainless steel disc braking combined with electric eABS integrated with its motor- LCD control display with accurate and easy to read speed and battery consumption.-EASE OF ASSEMBLYThe Gotrax APEX XL electric scooter arrives mostly assembled.All that needs to be done to complete assembly is to attach the handlebar unit and the brake cable.Gotrax provides the required Allen Wrench in the Gotrax APEX XL electric scooter box.-INTENDED USAGEThe entry level Gotrax APEX XL Electric Kick Scooter appears to be intended for people who live in flatter cities. For people who live in cities such as Chicago, Houston, Manhattan, and so on, and even cities with hills but with some flat sections, such as Seattle, this entry level scooter is a fine choice. Don't expect a 250 Watt motor scooter to be able to travel quickly up steep hills. That isn't this scooter's intended capability. For anyone who lives in cities with hills such as San Francisco, Gotrax makes scooters such as their G4 model with dual front and back 600 Watt motors and full spring suspension.-EXPECTATIONS SPEED AND RANGEThis is a 250 Watt entry level electric scooter. The Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter is a scooter for use around relatively flat areas, such as city riding. The Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter is great for a work commuter to put into a car's trunk, park upon city arrival, and then use to get around the city quickly. The Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter is also a scooter that does not weigh so much that it cannot be carried on a subway. It's fine to carry onto a subway like Seattle's Link light rail, the Washington, D.C. Metro, or the Boston T subway lines.-After using the Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter, even before the updated version of the Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter, I had already been planning to purchase the dual 600 Watt motor Gotrax G4 (see item B0C32PDRKJ), to be able to take on the steep hills of the city where I live. Yes, planning on owning more than one electric scooter!-SUGGESTIONS FOR GOTRAX- For the next update to the Gotrax APEX XL Electric Scooter, Gotrax needs to move the front reflector up higher on the forks cover so that it does not cover the Allen bolt underneath it. (see photo figure 7)- Add the front forks cowling units to the parts available on the Gotrax website.- List Gotrax electric scooter replacement parts on the Bolo website, in addition to the Gotrax site.-GOTRAX CUSTOMER SUPPORTAmong the most important things Gotrax has done is to provide replacement parts for sale on their website. Much like owning a car, motorcycle, or bicycle, vehicles will eventually need replacement parts, such as the plastic fenders, and most importantly their battery (e-scooter batteries do not and cannot last forever).-CONCLUSIONSThe updated Gotrax APEX XL Electric Kick Scooter is a good choice for anyone looking for an economical entry level electric scooter. For someone who would like to try out the Electric Kick Scooter experience before investing in a high-end scooter such as the dual 600 Watt motor Gotrax G4 the Gotrax APEX XL Electric Kick Scooter is a smart starter scooter choice. With the sturdiness of the Gotrax APEX XL Electric Kick Scooter and its reliable day to day riding experience, its a keeper.
4.0 out of 5 stars I’ve only use this once, but I have had a previous Gotrax before
I like the fact that it’s red, which makes it stand out from the others.It goes about 15 miles an hour, which is fast enough for I live. It’s very easy to put togetherIf I could do it anyone can! I think Gotrax are really reliable and affordable. this took quite a time to get here, I guess they ran out of red for Christmas.It does what it says I would recommend it for anyone over 15It’s very similar to my last scooter from them, but this one has a better speedometer I think that’s what it?please wear a helmet!!If you hit your head on the sidewalk, you’ll probably end up in hospital with a major concussion or worse! it’s just not worth taking the risk.I see people every day without a helmet on it’s also cold outsideBut one That is DOT approved and that has a face shield !it will keep your head warmer and’s stop stiff getting in your face. it’s safer than a bicycle helmet. 🪖
I'm free at last!
The media could not be loaded. I have been wanting to pick up an electric scooter for a long time because I wanted to substitute my car for the commute to the public transit stations and make short trips around the neighborhood.BUILD QUALITY AND FEATURESThe scooter is build very solid, no creaks or funny sounds when operating it, and it really feels like it could take a beating. The standing position has a rubberized grip on it so you don't slip off, and it can be carried easily while it is folded with one hand. It is about 30lbs, so I wouldn't walk everywhere with it, but its light enough that you can move it from one place to another. The additional features like a blinking red light on the back when the brake is pressed, an LED headlight, solid feeling kickstand, and a very large heads-up-display are nice additions too.RIDE FEELThe air filled tires are fantastic, driving over the pavement with crack, the sidewalk, or moving onto the sloped curb is seamless and doesn't feel like I'm going to be thrown off. There is no suspension on the scooter though so a larger drop or continuous bumps is going to be felt eventually. Steering the scooter was extremely easy to get a hang of and as someone who hasn't rode a bike in years, riding the scooter seemed like second nature.SPEED AND DISTANCEFor speed and distance, it gets up to its advertised 15.5mph speed really quickly and the motor doesn't hesitate at all. I am 160lbs for reference. I was able to get up the inclines in my neighborhood no problem which are moderately steep of 5-7 degrees. For distance I was able to get it to my point of public transit and back to my home easily (which is about 8km total) and still have half of the battery left.SUGGESTIONSIf there were a few things I would like improved in the scooter, first the included instructions are wrong, it tells you to remove the hook that clips the scooter closed when its folded to install the handlebars. You do NOT need to do this. I got pretty stumped right there wondering why there wasn't an included Allen key to remove that hook. Second, the bell is a little loose so it dings quietly when you're riding on the sidewalk or bumps, I might want to put a piece of tape on it. Third it would have been nice if the handle bars could have folded too, my garage is really tight fit and foldable bars would have helped with the tight spaceWhile those are suggestions for improvements, it doesn't take away the fact this is an excellent electric scooter for the money and now my days of being stuck in the parking lot of the transit station is now over.
Pretty good in it's class.
I don't know how my review ended up in the Apex description. It was for the GXL v2 model?Ok, first it takes a bit of getting used to. It's my first scooter, I expected more easy balancing than that but you have to get used to it gradually. You have to learn to position your body, feet, shift according to how you're moving, be careful about shifting feet position while moving, etc.I'm 165 lbs and I could get it to 15.5 mph - edit: GPS measures say it is 13.3 mph - without any problem. But it does not exceed 15.5 mph. Even going downhill with the throttle. The new models are limited to that speed I read.I was able to go up an overpass (150-200 meters of climb, at maybe 7° ? ), and at 13 mph at first and then gradually slowing to 11.4 mph. Not bad.I only rode for 3 miles, and there were 3 bars out of 4 left. But when I plugged in the charger, the lights were green???? Hmm, can I trust this. (Edit: I unplugged the charger, and plugged it back, the lights are red).I'll make a longer test, try to push it to the max and report here. Edit: I did a 6.6 miles test, held an average 10.1 mph, though traffic slowed me a while, I could have done 10.5 mph average I guess. Max speed 13.3 mph. All this calculated by GPS. There was one bar and a blinking 2nd bar, out of 4 left. 2.5 miles per bar?However it's a sturdy scooter, the stem is hard, a bit massive, the wheels are tough and thick (pneumatic but tough), slimed (a puncture sealing substance) it seems. There's Locktite or something on the screws. A substance to secure screws.All in all seems good for short - 10-12 miles - commutes. If you don't push the throttle to the maximum.The plastic stuff (the latch for the stem when you fold it) seems a bit cheap.The scooter is easy enough to lift but if you had to walk with it for several minutes you might find that hard. But the wheels roll easily so you can roll it while folded or opened.Overall, besides the balancing issue at first, it's fun, and it makes getting around easy. Moving at 13 mph 60% of the time seems realistic-then it falls to 11. For me.
Good scooter
It is a very good scooter. I’ve had no problems with it. Charges very well. It is good enough to carry when folded down. Very easily the latch down and up no problem it is wonderful, and I have no problems with it. Highly recommend it, and eventually I will be buying one for my daughter. This scooter is very good for adults and teenagers who are learning on electric scooter and also who don’t want to go very fast. And it goes as fast as it say. It is very good to quickly go down to the nearest mall or store or good for a Park.
Good enough for first electrical scooter. Review for APEX XL.
Was very simple in assembling. Looks quite solid. I am quite heavy guy (heavier than allowed in specification, around 125 kg), but scooter is still able to move me with 15 MPh speed and manages to run even in case of highly inclined parts of road.Real riding distance for my weight and hilly area is around 10-12 km. Battery life indicator is not adequate. Scooter runs most of distance with 4 and 3 lines on the indicator. After it shows 2 lines, battery dies very quickly. 8.5 inches wheels are too small for poor Quebec roads. So if you don't have smooth roads, consider buying something with bigger wheels and shock absorbers.
Excellent scooter- Go Trax provides the best customer service hands down
I bought this scooter in May 2021, the battery life is amazing, and this scooter is very strong and reliable. My kids love it, it is very easy to handle. This scooter is worth every dollar!!!!!!I broke my handle and even after two years, Go Trax shipped me a replacement handle in 3 days from the US, best and most pleasant customer service ever!!!!!!!!!Also, my battery seems to not be full charging as I left the scooter in the garage during the winter (the cold kills batteries like any other batteries). Go Trax without any questions asked shipped me a free replacement battery pack. I love this brand and the customer service is excellent.
