Review on Gotrax XR Ultra Electric Scooter: Max Range & Speed, LG Battery & 300W Motor, Pneumatic Tires, Foldable Escooter for Adults by Jason Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great commuter scooter for the price

This is my 2nd Gotrax XR Ultra. The first one I got during the pandemic lasted me over 2.5 years and hundreds of trips taken, until the front motor wheel broke. I bought a new scooter from Segway (Ninebot F30) which had horrendously bad battery life (under 9 miles) and returned it within a couple of days. I went back to this scooter which I used to get around Manhattan. It's a basic no frills e-scooter and you can expect to get about 10 - 12 real world miles per full charge.It's really light weight which makes it easy to carry up and down a couple of flights of stairs. Once it reaches top speed, it glides/coasts really smoothly allowing you to ease up on the throttle, conserving your battery life. The regenerative breaking helps as well. It's sturdy and better made than my first one. It handles bumpy streets pretty well. It's good for commuting on flat roads. Going up inclines will strain this e-scooter and you'll get less mileage; bring your charger with you if you do. Folding it isn't as easy as the Segway I got and returned, but I still highly recommend this one.
