Riding to Times Square with the GoTrax G6 Electric Scooter : First Impressions and Review

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 4 жов 2023
  • The GoTrax G6 Electric Scooter is designed for commuters. It sports 10" tires, front suspension, a 48V battery, dual brakes, 20MPH Max Speed, and is only $649.
    I take a ride to Times Square to test out the scooter's performance and functionality. While the specifications and design looked great, I may have received a defective scooter as the front light failed to turn on and the unit overheated with an E9 error right before making it to my destination.

    For many years I have lived and explored NYC and it's boroughs but I'm mostly confined to home in NJ. Since the pandemic you have allowed me to explore the places I once loved to walk and enjoy and I thank you, Brother. Never stop!

    This was an exciting and scary ride. I was on the edge of my seat. Too bad it started to overheat. I could not believe how reckless some of the other drivers were. Stay safe AK

    Some very skilful driving, especially on the bridge and in Times Square! You seemed very comfortable and proficient with this scooter. It was a shame it overheated. I was impressed at how you navigated your way so quickly and safely, despite the inconsiderate other road users you encountered.

      I can see why AK uses that 59th street bridge since it is directly across from Queens - Astoria , but I would not want use that route on a bike or scooter !

    Woohoo, another e-scooter review! 🛴 The scooter looks sturdy and the motor is quiet. I'm just surprised they sent you a defective one for review, and I thought they would have done some QC inspections before doing so. The ride through Queensboro Bridge and Times Square was nerve wracking, and so many mopeds rode through that narrow bike and pedestrian path! Thank you for sharing your honest review, AK! 🤗

    Thanks for the complete review. On a similar note I have a Tesgo e-bike and it has a frustrating problem in that if you tap the back wire with your boot or shoe accidentally while riding it will give you error 25 which means wire disconnected! Oh it was so frustrating at first when I had to check all the wires when I was far from home, sometimes 10-15 minutes trying to wiggle them all so they would reconnect 😑😮‍💨 (a couple times I had to call Ch to calm me down 🤗)

    Love my E-Scooter, because of the tubeless 11-inch tires, wide handlebars, and pneumatic brakes on both wheels. Second year now.
    About 2000 bucks, have to install new brake pads one times a year (5 bucks total included shipping from China), fast and easy swap.

    I doubt that many of the current reviews on the GoTrax web site are based on a workout as extensive as yours. I wonder whether GoTrax would publish your comment about overheating if you filed a review to their web site. NYFD seems to be quenching a fair number of lithium-ion fires these days. But I noted nothing about the type of battery in the scooter's manual, so I assume it's lithium.
