An updated look on GOTRAX's first e-bike. The Shift S1 features an easy to fold frame making it perfect for commuters in college dorms or small city apartments. A powerful front wheel 250 Watt motor with dual wheel braking makes for a fast, fun and safe ride.
Q: Do you have battery replacements for the GoTrax Shift S1 eBike?
A: I've looked pretty thoroughly for the answer in the posting and no luck and you asked one year ago and haven't got an answer. that's not good business
Q: Is there any anti-theft protection or key to prevent someone from stealing?
A: There seems to be some variability in the way these bikes are equipped, but the Shift S1 I bought here has a combination lock attached to the seat post. You might be able to see it in the picture, it swivels around the post to secure the battery, and comes with a thin cable like they sell for laptops, etc. Someone with a decent cable cutter or small screwdriver could clip the cable or disassemble the lock, so I still wouldn't leave it unattended, but they can make it more difficult for someone to just snatch your bike/battery.
Q: Can a 9 yr old ride this? Do the handlebars go lower?
A: GoTrax recommends ages 16+ for these e-Bikes. Might be a bit too complicated for 9, with the combination of e-bike, controls, and folding latches. Because the handlebar/tiller assembly is hinged just above the top tube, the grips can only be only lowered to a minimum of about 35" from the ground.
A: 20 miles per hr
Q: What are the sizes on this bike?
A: Dear Jax, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the dimensions of the Gotrax Shift S1 electric bike. We are happy to provide you with the following information: Length: 53.5 inches Width: 23 inches Height: 39 inches These dimensions are based on the bike being fully assembled. Please note that the dimensions may vary slightly depending on the position of the adjustable seat and handlebars. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your interest in our product and we look forward to hearing from you
Q: If the battery dies can you still petal the bike normally?
A: Yes, you can still pedal, but as this is only a single speed drivetrain, you will not be moving very fast.
A: The Shift S1 comes with a 42VDC adapter/charger that plugs into a barrel port on top of the battery. This port has a rubber flap to cover it when not in use. Battery can be charged by itself or while it is installed in the bike (as shown in my picture below), although it is a little easier to connect the charger if the battery lock is disengaged. Charger is a switching power supply with LED to indicate status: red=battery charging, green=fully charged.
