Review on Experience The Ultimate Commuting With Gotrax G4 Electric Scooter: Power, Speed, Range, Security And More! by Kenny Beyer

This was a pretty significant purchase, so I'll take the time to provide a detailed review.The scooter arrived within days of my order. It was securely packaged, and took me only about 15 minutes to unwrap and assemble. The battery was 75% charged upon arrival, which allowed me to take it for a spin right out of the box.The construction on this G4 is excellent. The welds are very clean, and the paint and other finish details are flawless. It arrived with a Quality Control (QC) sticker, which suggests that the scooter was inspected before being released. All the hardware was properly fastened. The tires were sufficiently pressurized, and ready to go upon arrival. I will fine tune the tire pressure as I become more familiar with the scooter.The G4 accelerates from a stop to its maximum speed of 20 MPH quickly on the Level 2 power setting. The 350 watt, 36 volt motor is powerful, and quiet. The 10.4 amp hour battery is substantial for a scooter. If the throttle is held for 8 seconds, the cruise control takes over, saving your thumb from having to continue to hold the throttle down. A touch of the brake lever disengages the cruise control. The rear disc brake brought me from 20 MPH to a dead stop in 44 feet. For my weight, I considered this to be very good. Stopping distances at slower speeds were commensurately shorter. The pneumatic tires do a good job of smoothing out the bumps in the road and sidewalk.Battery life seems to be very good. I have not attempted to completely exhaust the battery, but the riding that I have done so far hasn't depleted the charge much at all, and the scooter continues to accelerate just as quickly as it did when it was freshly charged.The scooter handles well, and has no squeaks or wobbles. It's rock solid. The deck does not flex at all under my weight (200 pounds).The clever latch device on the tiller that allows the scooter to be lifted when folded, also serves as a handy place to hang a bag while riding. The attached photo shows how I hung a very large tactical backpack, with no problem at all. The latch was designed to support the weight of the scooter (approximately 37 pounds) while folded for carry, so it should easily support most any bag that you would normally carry by hand. This is a convenient feature if the scooter is to be used for shopping, for commuting to work or school, or for just scooting around the beach or campground.I was also happy to see that the headlight and tail light are integrated into the scooter's wiring, and are very bright. The lights can be turned on and off at the control switch. The tail light has an integrated brake light that flashes when the brake is applied. The brake light works with or without the head light and tail light being switched on. This is a very nice feature. The LCD control display is bright and easy to read. There is also a surprisingly loud bell on the handle bars.Overall, I can highly recommend this GoTrax G4 scooter. It folds up easily and is small enough to fit in the trunk or the back seat of most cars, and is easy to carry. I am very pleased with this purchase.
