Does it still work?
Babe, wake up. Rider Guide posted
I never get tired of this one! -Paul
It really is amazing how thorough y’all are with these reviews!
Thank you so much! -Paul
Gotrax made my year for 2022, i needed something cheap to literally remove the walking from my job, and found one for $200 at Walmart, it did have a failure and stopped working but the support team sent a new "top" (literally the whole top handlebar and controller together) and still running strong, looking for something that goes 25+ for commute for college now, it's a mile away but up a hill, hope this release is it!!
How did u get in contact with them ?. I had a gotrax and had no customer service whatsoever . Nor did the website help at all .
Thanks again for the most detailed and honest review on UA-cam! You're the bests
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for watching and commenting! -Paul
Best Electric Scooter review channel! Hands down. I've been waiting for a review of the Gotrax GX1 and GX2!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for another stellar review.. nice industrial design. ..refined yet powerful looking
Thanks for watching and commenting! I really do like the chunky looks of these too. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide yes understated design.. excellent
as usual an excellent and thorought review - thank you!
Thanks again!
Great review. I was hoping to see one of these in our group rides at some point but it won't even cross the finish line while emove cruiser can go 30-35 mph and 50+ miles for $1500 and it's been out forever. The gx3 at $2k has so much competition at that price point that's it's going to need to be a banger to compete or basically keep up if the range isn't an issue. It's still great that gotrax is expanding its product line even if it seems like a huge miss and an opportunity to become more prevalent for the buying dollars.
I’ve plotted all of the specs and performance vs price and these beat the trend line by a little in every category, except range vs weight and top speed vs. weight.
These come up 5lbs heavy in both of those categories. -Paul
It's real hard to touch the emove on value. It's using off the shelf parts and working at an economy of scale that is hard to beat. Additionally the choice to stick with single motor let's them save quite a bit of money, 1 motor, simpler controller, less wiring, less complex to manifacture. The fact that they keep improving it means that bar keeps moving. It's simply the best value out there and probably will remain that was for the relevant future.
Awesome review keep the good work coming ❤👍✌️💪👊
Thanks so much! -Paul
Another great and detailed review Paul
Thank you kindly
Rider Guide for sure are NOT criminals, because they wake up early to get things done! 😅 Cool review! (Nice setting).
Ha ha! Early bird gets the worm!
Thanks for your never ending support! -Paul
Thanks my man 💪the best reviews 🙌 i think the solar eq still biting, except for the design but i like it 👌 now im between the mantis v2 and solar eq to pull the trigger on
Thanks for the kind words! -Paul
Thanks to you guys for making me buy the gx1 and gx2! I love them! Now, when will the Gotrax GX3 review!? I can’t buy the gx3 without watching your review, first!
I really enjoy your reviews! Thx. These look great but what I'm finding is that the scooter stems tend to be too high for my 5'4" frame. It makes it weird to control. What e-scooters tend to cater to shorter riders?
Great question.
Adjustable ones like the Solar EQ will let you ride with very low bars. Other scooters that come to mind are the Unagi scooters, Uscooters / Fluid Mosquito, or some of the Hiboy scooters like the S2. -Paul
Been using the GMAX for over a year and 1500 miles on it, suits me very well, oh want a slightly faster and shock absorbed scooter. I think I have my eye on the GX1
Thanks so much for the kind words!
8:35 this 360-cam shot is FRIKKIN AMAZING!!
I love it guys!!! Best scooter review channel ever!!!
Wow, thanks!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yeah no problem! I’m trying to save up my money and buy a scooter so I can upgrade from my old Hiboy s2.
Just purchased the GX2! Thank you for the review!!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you!
@@mrtn775Has it arrived yet?
Hey guys, thank you for your vids, great editing and production. I've tried the current listed GX1 coupon, it does not work for me. Do you also have a coupon for the G4?
We will check it soon and inform!
Looking forward to your Segway P100s video!
I hope we get one some day. I’m very curious about that scooter! -Paul
I'm looking forward to seeing the differences between the GX-1/2 and and the GX-3.
You guys gonna start doing EUCs now that you're Rider Guide and not just ESG? I'd love to see that same approach to testing. I'm about to be in the market for my first EUC so that info would be useful.
That's the plan! Hopefully in the future
Oooo, now I'm wondering if I should go with a Gotrax for my next scooter instead of the Kaabo Mantis King GT. Will you guys be getting a GX3 to test? It looks so slick in the blue, which also happens to be my favorite color.
We will be getting a GX3, but I'm not sure when. It's a much heavier scooter though, at 94 lbs! Not something you'd want to carry upstairs every day. Cool scooter though, and should have really amazing suspension with four fully adjustable shocks! -Paul
Would you mind stating what scooter has a more comfortable/better ride for you between the GX2 & Solar P1 3.0 ?
Keep up the great reviews, I’ve watched a dozen or so!
P1 has a smoother ride and zippier You can use code RG10 for 10% off!
Long time no see Paul... Sorry I've been absent from the market for a little while now. Great review and these will really shake things up in this segment of scooter class. Very interesting 🤘
Welcome back!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide technically I've been working behind the scenes with a certain Chinese manufacturer. Helping with engineering some new designs and helping out with web development. Now I'm back stateside and will be helping a new marketing team here in the USA 🛴🤘
I ordered the GX1 this morning from the GoTrax website after viewing this video. It's a shame the GX2 only comes in Gun Metel Grey. I'd love to see another video with the scooter being transported in folded "Wheelbarrow mode" on a train or down some stairs. My height is 6ft and I'm 195lbs. Transporting my current GoTrax Ultra (*26lbs) is a comical joke to toss into the trunk. Bring on Big Bro!
Enjoy your new scooter!
How is your gx1 holding up after 5 months?
Also, how is the range? Does the stem have any wiggle to it?
Awesome review guy’s! Do you have a solid ETA for the GX3 review?
We are waiting to get it from gotrax! Hopefully early March!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideok thank you! Keep up the good work you guy’s are doing a fantastic job!
Is park mode a deal breaker? Gotrax gx2 or Apollo city pro? I am upgrading from the Kqi3 max.
Both are awesome! Apollo is sleeker looking with a dedicated regen brake. Gotrax is also a solid value for the specs. You can use code RIDERGUIDE100 for $100 off the GX2 and code RIDERGUIDE for $50 off the Apollo City Pro
I'm ordering one of the go tracks 1 next month I can't wait to ride it from what I've been seeing on videos and all the research I've been doing is way better than my ninebot electric scooter
Great value! -paul
I have a GX1 and this review was on point. Solid base, nothing loose, and no rattles. Suspension is actually pretty good on gravel or big bumps. Love the wide Handlebars. I like the "Boost feature" that allows you to select more powerful acceleration in every drive mode. Brakes stop on a dime. Tire pressure makes a big difference in ride quality. Get it right and its very smooth over joints in the road. Plenty of room for your feet. The 2 year warrantee is awesome!
Can u please reply if it's waterproof bcz it says IP54 waterproof
I mgonna buy 1 right away just want to make sure it's waterproof
@rajendramodusu5980 I have never submerged it in water so I don't know. I am sure the rating will be on their website
I like go trax. The scooters look beefy and solid. They really hit the commuter market well. Didn’t notice Paul talk about night riding? I assume they have some decent lighting
We didn't get a chance to test it at night, but the lights look fairly typical for this class of scooters. Thanks for the reminder! We're hoping to start doing more night riding shots. We love that high-mounted headlights have become so popular now. -Paul
in your personal opinion paul or anyone who works there would you choose solar P1 2.0 over GoTrax GX2?
It really depends on whether you need the speed and performance of the P1 2.0 or if you prefer the more modern design of the GX2. Both are great scooters. -Paul
Can yall make a video (if you haven't already) explaining terms like dampening ?
Good idea. If a shock has more damping it means that it gets rid of bouncing faster. If it’s over-damped it can feel too stiff. Under-damped, too bouncy. Most scooters have no damping at all, other than the unintentional friction from the pivoting mechanism. -Paul
Am looking forward to getting gx1, but also looking at kukirin g2 max..I know it's a single motor and claims the same speed as gx1....what option do you think better..I'm leaning gx1
We would lean towards the gotrax!
How does gotrax compare to the emove? Keep up the great videos.
Depends on the models! This is dual motor
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide looking at cruiser s.
Have you guys received the Apollo Air 2023 yet? When will the review come out?
Yes and we are currently testing it!
I wish more companies would do fold down handle bars like VSETT/USCOOTER - Durant happen every day But WHEN you need to its so much easier to throw in a car trunk
True. I love the pull-back shape of the Vsett bars, but it bothers me a little that they wiggle after a while if you don't re-tighten during a ride. There are a couple types which latch in the middle and are very secure, but don't have as much pull back angle as I like. Some day we'll get the perfect folding handlebars. -Paul
I want a dual drumbrake e scooter that uses both brakes when you brake
Is the teverun blade mini pro a good scooter and have you guys done a review on it if not will you guys consider doing it?
No plans on that one yet!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide is the scooter good tho?
Any idea what would be better GX1 or GX Ares for the $1,000 price range? Thanks!
GX1 is solid for sure! You can use code ESG50 for $50 off your order.
Did you end up fixing the brake squeaking issue on the GX1 from the First Ride video? If so, how? Thanks!
We have not tested it again!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide oh, so it stayed squeaky throughout the review process?
I purchased the GX1 last month. Great scooter (this is my third) I have an issue that developed last week. There was a wobble coming from the stem, and I have no idea how to fix it. Is there a stem tightening tool I can purchase? Any suggestions from the community will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry to hear that! Did you reach out to gotrax for assistance ?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yes I did. I sent pictures and video vie Email communication. It's been 3 days. Gotrax said they would take a look and get back to me in 72 hours. FIngers crossed there is a resolution to this issue. These Scooters aren't cheap and this one is only 30 days old :(
@@Mussie69Was this ever resolved? I’m interested in this scooter but I’m curious both about customer-support and reliability in the scooter itself. :) thanks! Hope it was resolved!
is ip54 ok for riding in the rain in the city? small puddles and such?
Light rain should be okay
So which would u recommend for me at 230 pounds emove cruiser or one of the listed scooters in the video ??? Edit I’m 5’11
If you don’t have much hills cruiser will get you best range! If you do the gotrax will get you more power because of dual motor but less range. You can use code RIDERGUIDE50 for $50 off the cruiser or RIDERGUIDE100 for $100 off the gotrax
Can you guys review the new fighter supreme?
We hope to get our hands on one soon. We don’t have it in the schedule now, but it could still happen. -Paul
Hi does it need the charger to be light green for fully charge? For gx2 cuz it seems takes too long to charge the last bar
Yes it should be green usually
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide all good now thank you… I have one more question is it ok to use in wet road/trail?
could you test the Carla eagle one 2.0?
I don't think we've got that one in the plan right now. Mitchell has reviewed it on his RK9 channel though. -Paul
Great video, I have the gx2, but I’m not able to get to the claimed max speed 35mph. On sport mode, I get only up to 28-30mph, I am 6 ft 220 lbs, could that be the issue?
It could be. I’m fully tucked down and on flat ground. Also make sure your tires are aired up.
I do two direction speed runs on flat ground and average the top speeds from the two runs together.
I weigh 165lbs and am 5’10” tall. -Paul
Ok thank you for the response.
220 is the answer
Can you do what is the best beginner scooter under $300
That's a tough one. Here are my favorite cheap scooters. We may try to go even lower at some point. -Paul
ua-cam.com/video/lsC8Fd7Hb1w/v-deo.htmlsi=oPCzVc26fOiqV35T
Pls can you make a review on seal up scooter
I’ve never heard of that brand. This is one of the reasons I live to spend time in the comments though. I’ll do a search. Thanks for the tip.
-Paul
I have an issue with a bent stuck locking pin on my Wolf Warrior any advice 😀
You can get a replacement pin from the dealer!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideI have the pins I wanted to know how to dislodge the one that’s in there now Thanks”
What’s a good phone mount for the gx2? Thank you
Generic Amazon phone mount should be fine
Do they both share the same ESC? Thanks
Believe so!
Be careful. Don't let the scooter fall in the water. 12:52
Very true!
I'm really hung up on the fact that it seems like none of these scooter manufacturers care about waterproofing. Apollo is the only one above ip6. I need a vehicle for all season in canada. Where are the snow-scooters lol.
We’re getting there.
Another factor is that not all IP ratings are real. The good brands are really doing the work to test them, where some of the lesser known brands are just guessing at what they think the rating is. But I agree. I want a scooter that I can ride like I ride my motorcycle: all weather all the time. We’re getting there. -Paul
I agree. I’m not dumping $4k on a dualtron if a little puddle can take it out. I would keep your money for now
12:51 anxiety inducing parking. I know they're too heavy for an average wind gust to knock them over but that's really close to the edge.
Insightful! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
Would you guys recommend gotrax gx2 or solar eq
The EQ! It’s zippier and larger range Also we have a limited code. Get 15% off with code RG15
Is it possible to upgrade the batteries in GX1? The current range estimates are small
I would contact gotrax for that answer!
Leaning more towards the GX1
Great value! Grab $100 off with code RIDERGUIDE100
What your view on seal up scooters sir
We have not heard of that!
How long does it take for them to restock
Hopefully soon! They are aware for sure.
Please review the segway P100S
I really want to. We haven’t been able to get our hands on one from Segway yet. -Paul
What’s the best scooter that goes up to 30 MPH price wise what would you recommend
What’s your budget ?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide1k
This or the G2 maybe
Good afternoon, I'm looking for a scooter that runs about 30+ mph and about 25-30+ miles real world minimum. If you had $1200.00 -$1500.00 which scooter would you buy?
Apollo city pro or gotrax GX1 of Emove cruiser. You can use code RIDERGUIDE for Apollo and voro and can use RIDERGUIDE100 for the gotrax
What do you think about the Segway gt1 at $1499.00?
When is the gx3 review coming out?
We are waiting for the review unit!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks for replying, I’m trying to decide if I should get the gx3 or if the gx2 is good enough 🤷🏽♂️ I love this channel the reviews are amazing!
the body looks like a mukuta, do they just have one factory?
Not sure! We have not tested makuta yet!
How do you think it is for taller guys?
It’s not bad. We measured the handlebars at 39.5” above the deck. My favorite bar height it about 40” and not very many scooter have taller bars than that. The NAMI scooters are super tall at 42.5” and the new Kaabo GTR is surprisingly short at 38.5”
-Paul
I just bought the Gx1
Awesome! Enjoy your new ride.
Why are the new scooters making such a big angel in the stem? It seems totally against performance?
The rake angle leaning back toward the rider? More is definitely better for stability. -Paul
What is the 100 off coupon code for gx1?
GX1 only has a $50 off code which is code ESG50
Does it available in uk?
Email CS and they will be able to tell you
Anyo of them I for a 6 foot 4 person?
You could definitely ride it. Ramier is very close to your height. The deck might feel a little tight, and the bars are 1/2 inch shorter than our typical favorite height. -Paul
How do you guys not have a review for the GX3?
We are currently reviewing it!
I just noticed no one has one yet. Which I feel is kinda strange. Usually everything has a review before it’s available
Can you do a Navee v40 video?
We will take a look!
i need a good scooter for work, i do 13k one way........ do you have any suggestions ?
13km one way? So about 8 miles. Almost any scooter should be able to handle that, especially if you have the ability to charge while at work. How fast do you want to go? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide i want to go from 15-45km/h but i want that scooter to be a good one where i Can bring it to the train or bus
GX2 is a BEAST
Code does not seem to work even for scooters not on sale right now.
We will take a look thank you
What about a seat option?
Hopefully in the future!
This scooter looks fun
It sure is! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
Gotrax is a great value.
We totally agree!
i am 320 in weight which is better gx1 or gx2
GX2! You can use code RIDERGUIDE100 for $100 off.
Looks like a budget Apollo Pro, not bad.
Solid value for sure!
I bought the GX2 scooter and the front motor stoped working in about 5 days Can any one help me?
Did you reach out to gotrax costumer service ?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yes i did Their Currently working on the issue right now.
Florida gang. We can do anything as long as we dont go over 30 mph lol
That's not bad. Is it legal to do 30 there, or is that just the threshold where they start enforcing it? We're technically limited to 15 mph in CA, but I've never seen that enforced. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide In Florida, the legal speed for electric scooters is 30 mph, and going over that can get you into trouble, but probably not lol
Is the scooter made of metal or aluminum?
Please check the gotrax site to be sure!
I ordered the gx1 but both videos I’ve seen it has cheesy squeeky sounding breaks …. Didn’t hear that in videos on the gx2and3???? That has me worried 😒lotta money for cheap sounding squeeky breaks ! 🙄
We were testing the prototypes so hopefully your scooter will have no issues!
First ❤
Kurin g3 pro is a reliable scooter?
We haven’t tested that one yet. I don’t think we’ll test it any time soon. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks for the Reply. I follow your guides hehe
If they had a better water resistance rating I’d be sold, but it’s only IP54
That’s plenty for most!
Gotrax would not honer youre promo code on my Black Friday purchase of the gx1😕
They removed it during Black Friday because of their already discounted super deals! It should be working now
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide aww that would have been great if they could of added that in to my Black Friday sake 👍 they sent me an email saying they could not honer the promo .what has me worried is I live up stairs this scooter is suppose to be 76 pounds? My other scooter is only 45. Not sure if this is going to work ?
Just bought a GX 2 in Canada for $1799 Canadian dollars, just saying, very excited and in my town will dust and e-scooter! I’m going to smoke some meth and pull, probably, three shopping carts full of copper?!!! I’ll let you know!
Nice scooters, but I'm waiting for the Dualtron Popular...
What do you like best about the Popular? -Paul
The weight ain't too bad, dual motors, enclosed drum brakes, waterproof rating, futuristic design, lights, choice of Ah (3), rubber mat, the tyres have protection from punctures, new display. And I was watching a French review of the scooter, (with subtitles). They managed 74 kph with the scooter of the ground in the showroom.
Okay, you won't get that on the streets, but Dualtron have it down for 65 kph. Which is pretty fast for this kind of scooter. And the prices are good too !
💯‼️💙
Man this thing looks specced out for only $1000 right now (GX1). The one true downside that I see that would otherwise make this a perfect purchase is the lack of turn signals.
Wow, other companies need to take a page from gotrax on how the deck should be build
Do you mean the way the screws are covered? The wiring inside or all of the above? I’m always curious what riders like and don’t like in a scooter. -Paul
NICE
Thanks
The Gx2 or the Max G2 from Segway.... Oof hard choice.
👀
You upload it 2 time....?🤔
One was unboxing! Other is full review. -Vosk
Do a gx3 review
Should be soon!
The code doesn’t work 😢
It was prob deactivated for Black Friday!
