I pulled the trigger on this, looked everywhere for some real reviews and price history but it's a newer model or only to at best buy. With the total tech warranty, I thought this was best value for speed and range I see compared to the other gotrax 3 etc in stores. 264 lb weight limit ( I'm 250-260) and after my first day I am super impressed with 20 mph speed and strong feel. Big guy approved but blindly in for the long run. Found one or two real reviews. Would love to hear any real opinions.
Model: GoTrax - G6 Commute Electric Scooter w/48mi Max operating Range & 20 Max Speed - Gray

From what I could gather, it seems a good deal for the distance offered and front shocks (much needed for streets and sidewalks that aren't totally smooth). I've found pneumatic wheels help a little bit real shocks make a big difference. Only thing that might want to note that if you have to climb any stairs this weighs 50+ lbs. There are other scooters like the hiboy ks4 pro that chime in around 32 lbs but you lose the pneumatic tires and the front shocks as well as are limited to half the distance on a full charge. Same speeds though.
They inflate range. Likely to be less than 50% of what they state
50+ lbs is really too much.

Yeah, it's a little on the heavier side for this type of scooter, but I think it is the battery and suspension that are the main contributors to the weight. It comes with a 15AH battery which will have very decent range and is generally not found in these type of commuter scooters.
It's my understanding that if scooters were smartphones or computers, GOTRAX would be the equivalent of Lenovo/Motorola. Not terrible, but not really great either. Similar business models too… Flood the market with lots of products and a few gimmicks. Then, say a prayer for sales volume and provide little to no customer support.

In the e world of scooters, bikes, etc... It's pay me now or pay me later. I've got both, and the biggest expense is replacing the battery after 3 or 4 years. These aren't hard to work on, and if they're a big seller, there's plenty of YT videos on repairs and maintenance. The quality of the battery and who manufactured it is everything. Just like garbage off brand AA vs Eneloop. Don't go by volts and amp hours, also check who makes the cells. On ebikes, also check who makes the motor, and weight of the bike. Fat tire isn't necessary if all you do is pavement. You're wasting at least 25% mileage with that heavy bike.

Do you have any recommendations for a beginner bike that's not gonna end up in trash after a yr ?
So I've had the gotrax gxl v2 for about two years and still going. Yes it's advertised as I think 12m range but goes more like 6. It has been durable though and held up for 2yr. Would prob upgrade if I had the money, only ever changed tire.

Hills matter too, totally flat vs hills makes a big difference
Most of America is, they should really set the range based on the average person, not an underweight 12 year old.
Are you calling me fat
