Well built and just the right size for older kids

I was shopping for an electric scooter for my 4' 8" daughter. I almost considered buying a full size scooter, but they are really meant for kids 13 and older. In addition, there are many more controls which could overwhelm someone coming from an unpowered kick scooter. You can limit the speed to 9mph, but it's easy to override if you have a curious enough kiddo.We looked at some options from razor, but they were either too expensive, or too awkwardly styled for my daughter's tastes.This is…

Pros
  • Christmas gifts for my grands. They can't wait to take them to the park.
Cons
  • Fun but I can no longer charge it

Amazing scooter and Amazing Customer service!

This is the second Gotrax scooter we have purchased, as we love how safe it is for our kids. You have to be balanced on the scooter for it to move! Charges quick, and stays charged for a long time! Other scooters in our neighborhood will lose charge, while these are still going! My kids love them.Assembly is easy, my 8 year old put the whole thing together after he got it today!Customer service is top notch. I backed my sons and customer service promptly helped me with what I needed to do to…

Pros
  • ‎Limited
Cons
  • The scooter is too expensive for the limited features it provides

Does not hold charge (Updated 10/4/2022)

I bought this scooter for my son's birthday the first one worked for one day and then it would not charge so I returned it and the second one did the same thing. I don't know if it's the product or if it's the actual charging unit but I will not buy this product again.*** Company reached out personally and sent my son another scooter at no charge. We have had no issues at current time with the replacement. I updated the review to 4 stars.****

Pros
  • Battery died. Company sent replacement. We are back rolling
Cons
  • The brake is not strong enough to stop immediately in emergency situations

Perfect for an 8 year old

We’ve had this for about 3 months now. It works awesome and has provided endless entertainment for my son. My son is 4’3” and 67lbs for reference. He goes fast but not fast to the point that he can’t control it. Some of the bad reviews regarding it being loud and not holding a charge made me skeptical but after literal hours of comparing electric scooters I’m glad we got this one. Our scooter is actually extremely quiet and we’ve had no issues with holding a charge.

Pros
  • ‎Non Slip Deck
Cons
  • The handlebars are not adjustable and cannot accommodate different heights

Fun outside movement

I got this for my son for his birthday when Covid first started. It was nice because it allowed him to go at a constant pace with me on walks or jogs. It’s a good alternative for him to move around with me without getting too tired to quickly which is nice because it doesn’t hinder me or limit me in my actions my son really loves to be adventurous he also loves to go fast. This scooter allowed him to do so but not too fast which I’m really happy about. It has a 2 foot pedal system on the…

Pros
  • Perfect for kids
Cons
  • The scooter may not be permitted in certain public spaces or parks

Good customer service

UPDATE: After posting my review, customer service reached out to me and replaced the scooter even though the warranty had passed. They sent me the new one with a return label to send yhe old scooter back. Hopefully this one lasts.Bought for my 10 year old in September of 2021. Charged fine the first time and road great. He parked it through winter and just took it out to use for the 2nd time and it will not charge. Too late for a return so it's useless!

Pros
  • Lightweight and portable: Weighing just over 17 pounds, this scooter is easily transportable and perfect for kids on the go. It's also easy for parents to carry in the car or onto public transportation
Cons
  • The scooter is not ideal for kids who are more interested in outdoor sports or activities

Promised a review in my review

Battery would not take charge after a few charges. I reached out to support and they helped me resolve the issue even when the unit was outside the warranty. We tried a new battery and it did nothing. I updated customer rep with my issue and they sent meba replacement. Lets see if i have the same issue with this one. Customer service is good to deal with anyways

Pros
  • Easy to assemble
Cons
  • The scooter feels unstable and wobbly when riding at high speeds

Awesome Scooter - my new review

My 8 yr old grandson loves this scooter and so does his two cousins (10 and 11). They have no complaints and would like me to buy one for each of them.

Pros
  • They have sent a replacement and so far it works well l, very good customer service
Cons
  • The battery life is short and needs frequent charging

Amazing Customer Service

Absolutely love these scooters! We have two of them (Green and Grey)Great speed for kids (mines are 7 years old) and durable. I had an issue with one of the battery and Customer Service team immediately address it.Definitely will recommend to friends and family!

Pros
  • ‎34 x 15 x 32 inches
Cons
  • The scooter can be noisy and disrupt quiet neighborhoods or public spaces

Cool and Cute Scooter

Very cool and cute scooter. Easy to ride on and wide wheels make balancing simple for the new riders. My daughter loves it because of its color and light-weighted and soft handlebars. It can be used as a electronically scooter or kick scooter which is awesome.

Pros
  • Sports
Cons
  • The scooter has limited visibility in low-light conditions, making it dangerous to ride at night

Great Starter Scooter

I waited a few months to write my review. We purchased this for my 7-yr-old son in Dec. 2020. It was the perfect speed for learning. My son didn't really know how to balance yet so I was nervous about the speed. He learned to balance in a few days and after a few months he is ready for something a little faster. He really liked the foot break, and I liked that you had to have your foot on the sensor for the scooter to go, and if he took his foot off it slowed to a stop. The only complaint I…

Pros
  • ‎Gotrax
Cons
  • The lack of a kickstand makes it difficult to park and store the scooter

Great Customer Service

Update 20221221: Customer Service reached out and offered support. They diagnosed the issue as likely related to the battery and sent a replacement. Unfortunately, the timing was not great as we were out of town a lot and when we were here it was usually raining (so not good for testing out on the wet roads). They were very patient and only checked in every once in a while to see how it was going. We eventually had a good weekend to install the new battery and test it out after a full overnight

Pros
  • ‎2
Cons
  • The charging time is long and takes hours to fully charge

Good but will be too small for my average size 11 yr old soon

My kid likes it but if he gets much bigger his feet will no longer fit on the deck. And the deck is where the bottom is you have to stand on the make it go. He’s 11 so in a year or two at most I don’t think he will be able to ride it. But for the price it can’t be beat

Pros
  • ‎Unisex-teen
Cons
  • The scooter is not suitable for long-distance riding or commuting

Amazing Customer Service

Pros

Cons
  • The scooter is difficult to steer and requires constant adjustments

Great Scooter on my review.

Love this Scooter and would recommend to anyone looking for an electric scooter for kids 6-8yrs old! It’s not real fast but it’s fast enough for that age bracket! My 8yr old son loves it and would ride it everywhere if we let him! It’s well made and in my opinion would surpass the razor scooter any day! I looked into and read alot about the scooters before I bought one and the razor had a lot of bad reviews and complaints and almost all the stuff I read on this scooter was good and there…

Pros
  • Safe and Reliable: Concerned about safety? The kid electric scooter adopts electromagnetic brake/rear mechanical brake. Lifting your foot from back gravity sensor to slow down and then put your foot on the rear brake to realize safe stop.
Cons
  • The scooter is not reliable and can break down unexpectedly

Overall good scooter

My 5-year-old son loves this scooter. He is not super tall and it fits him fine, and he will be able to use it and grow for a few years I suspect. My favorite feature is that it can be used both manually and electronically. Easy to put together, I feel like the battery never dies - my son and I went on a 2-hour walk and it was still running fine. My ONLY complaint is that the back foot brake is noisy, like rattling. The first day or two of riding the scooter it was super quiet, but we live in…

Pros
  • ‎26.4*9.1*9.8INCH
Cons
  • The scooter is not waterproof and cannot be used in rainy or wet conditions

Original I've seen a few reviews mention the same issues regarding the fact that the scooter can stop working, so I'll add mine as well. The scooter stopped working/charging after 6 months. It was charged a total of 20 times over that 6 month period.Other than that the scooter is great, but I would not recommend buying one until they fix whatever issues they have.Update 9/22/22. - Gotrax reached out to me an replace the scooter outside of warranty period free of charge. Revising from 1 to 4…

Pros
  • ‎180 Day Limited
Cons
  • The motor is not powerful enough to handle hills or uphill riding

Great Customer Response

Had an issue with the product, a faulty battery most likely. Customer Service worked with me to resolve the issue. I would be confident to do business with them again! Appreciate how GoTrax stood behind their product and provided support.

Pros
  • ‎Matte Green
Cons
  • The scooter is not suited for larger or taller children as they may outgrow it quickly

Purchased as a christmas present for my 8 year old daughter. She is very disappointed that the battery is totally dead and will not accept a charge after only 9 months. Warranty is only 90 days.Update: scooter was replaced. Everyone is happy again. Thanks.

Pros
  • ‎Rear Braking
Cons
  • The scooter lacks advanced features like GPS, Bluetooth, or a built-in speaker

BUYER BEWARE! ***Updated rating 9/13

***UPDATE 9/13/22: Gotrax reached out directly and has since sent a replacement scooter. Updating the rating to a 4-star on my review to reflect the customer service that I received after my original review.***DO NOT PURCHASE! I am so disappointed at the lifespan of this scooter. It worked great for a few months, but just stopped working/charging. I reached out to the company and they basically told me the scooter was "out of warranty " and I would need to purchase a new $50 battery/controller…

Pros
  • Scooters & Equipment
Cons
  • The scooter is vulnerable to theft and may require additional security measures
