This is rated as the best all-around "standard speed 15MPH scooter" for under $500 for 2020. I researched every scooter available and watched almost every YouTube review for sub $500 scooters (I watched hundreds of videos!) and this was the model that was most consistently recommended as being the best value for the money which is why I bought it November 2020 and have used it almost every day since then. It has the battery in the base instead of the stem for better weight distribution, the high battery capacity give this scooter equal range to many $500-$800 models, it has features like cruise control that most cheaper scooters don't have, it has a digital readout showing your speed in 1/10th MPH increments, 4 bar battery meter, has a bright white headlight and red taillight for night riding which also blinks when braking, tires come pre-filled with Slime from the factory for good flat prevention since scooter tires/tubes are a huge pain to change, and has rear disc brake but it is pretty weak and needs a little adjustment ouf of the box to work well. The next step up would be about $800 for scooters that go 18MPH with only slightly better range but are usually a bit heavier, then $1200-$1400 for the scooters that go about 28MPH with nice wide tires and full suspension...and of course you can't forget the Rion Thrust for $8500 that goes 80MPH lol!
refer to him as OP, you neanderthal
pretty sure 99% of scooters wouldn't work if you're 500lbs lol

Since we have crazy people and situations out there, how likely is it someone tries to steal one of these from you?
Near the coast highly likely. In the middle states not likely. They are much more cultured and civilized than their coastal neighbors, so I have been told.
Got too caught up in the "buy now think later" mentality, as it seems like a good deal. However, thinking this may not be for me for reasons. Looking at the website, it doesn't appear as though there is any way to cancel the order (unless I'm not seeing the option somewhere)? I'm assuming I'll have to contact CS or just return it to a local B&M location if I need to return?

The $800 Scooter if you don't mine, can give a reference, I'm really thinking about it, my new work is a 2 miles
Great deal for a solid scooter. Though if this is your first one and if you end up really liking it, you'll likely regret not getting something more premium for more speed and distance.
Well slickdeals, as per usual, I came here with no want to buy anything and left having impulse bought something that i totally didn't need
10/10 would do again
Also I was on the fence about this but what tipped me over the edge was seeing you can sell these on ebay for about $200 used. Worst case scenario I'll just sell this thing and be out $50 + ebay fees
Great scooter and deal to try one out. I bought 2 XR Ultras for $240 each and am very happy. Getting low teens for range.... Which gets to the brewery and back!

Bought one.
i also bought the 3 year warranty from Camping World for $46.66. The 2-year additional warranty = $31.10.
I believe gotrax comes with only 90 day warranty. (based on gotrax official website).
