    The scooter has a solid build. Its range is yet to be determined. I would like to see it linked to an application, and the instructions could be a little more developed. I had to Google the master password. Overall, though, it seems to be a well-built scooter. Note that it is a heavy item, so carrying this up to the office is not an option if you're looking for that type of scooter.

    So let me start off with saying that this scooter is one Almighty beast! This thing has torque and the speed to match the size and weight, the only downside is I believe the brakes are not adequately equipped for this heavy of a scooter plus it would be nice to have regenerative breaking. I’m not even going to lie I have already been hit on this and let me tell you it took it like nothing and I was back up on the scooter 10 seconds later when the other scooter I had was completely done after a small crash. If you’re looking for something that has speed and torque and can carry that additional weight, this is definitely your go to!

    This review is for the GoTarx GX1 Dual Motor Electric Scooter. The GX1 Dual Motor Electric Scooter is an impressive blend of power, design, and functionality, making it a standout option for both urban commuters and recreational riders. Design and Build Quality The GX1 boasts a sleek, modern design with a robust aluminum frame that feels very durable. The scooter’s aesthetic is complemented by LED lights that not only enhance its appearance but also provide essential visibility during night rides. The wide deck offers ample space for comfortable foot placement, and the overall build quality instills confidence in its longevity. Performance Equipped with dual 600W motors, the GX1 delivers remarkable acceleration and traction. The top speed reaches an exhilarating 30 mph, which is more than sufficient for most urban environments. This scooter also offers excellent torque, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride even on rough terrains. Thanks to the dual motors you can easily go from sidewalks to grass or gravel with ease. Battery Life and Range The GX1 features a high-capacity 48V 15aH Lithium-ion Battery (720Wh) ,offering an impressive range of up to 30 miles on a single charge, depending on riding conditions and rider weight. This long range makes it suitable for extended commutes or leisurely rides without the constant worry of recharging. The battery charges fully in about 5 hours, which is reasonable given its capacity. Ride Comfort Thanks to its dual suspension system (front and rear), the GX1 provides a smooth and comfortable ride. It effectively absorbs shocks from uneven surfaces, making it suitable for both city streets and off-road paths. Safety Features Safety is a significant consideration, and the GX1 doesn’t disappoint.

The throttle and brake controls are ergonomically placed, allowing for easy and comfortable operation. The GX1 also features multiple riding modes, catering to different skill levels and preferences. You can also setup the Scooter with a passcode to help keep it some what safe. Portability Despite its powerful performance, the GX1 remains relatively portable. It features a foldable design, making it convenient to carry or store in tight spaces. However, it is kind of heavy, it might be a bit much for some users to carry for long distances or to even load and unload from vehicles. Conclusion The GX1 Dual Motor Electric Scooter is a top-tier choice for those looking for a powerful, reliable, and stylish ride. Its impressive range, robust build, and smooth performance make it suitable for a variety of riding conditions. While it may be on the heavier side, its benefits far outweigh this minor drawback. Whether for daily commuting or recreational riding, the GX1 stands out as a premium electric scooter option.

    Bought as I Christmas present for our son. He had a single motor scooter that would overheat ridding in our hilly neighborhood. This dual motor scooter rides in the hills like the single motor one rode on flat land.

    I got this gotrax scooter with high hopes of it being a good all around scooter for my own personal use. I can say I was not let down, I'm very pleased with my pick so far. This gotrax electric scooter is pretty large, definitely not made for a kid. Trust me my 2 boys were let down when they were informed this toy is dads for now. The top speed of 30mph is pretty quick for me when cruising around the neighborhood or town. The dual front and rear disc breaks are more than necessary with this dual 600w motor powered scooter. I find the headlights and functional taillight necessary as well as the blue accent lighting below the the deck and the front handle bar stalk. The battery takes around 5 hour for a full charge. Im 6'1" and 170 lbs and have yetti get the battery to last the quoted 25 miles. But I like to use it in sport mode with both motors. The dual functioning front and rear suspension is very helpful at making this speedy scooter more bearable on my body. I couldn't imagine a scooter this fast without the suspension. Find myself riding this about a hour every other day, it is a lot of fun cruising around on. I do definitely recommend this scooter to anyone willing to spend this amount of money on one with dual motors.

    For the price, this is a great scooter. Great acceleration, battery life and ride quality. It would be nice if the brake and headlights were a bit brighter, but a easy amazon upgrade.

    Nothing competes against a gx1 at this price point, the dual 600w motors have awesome hill climbing power. Full hydraulic suspension absorbs road bumps with ease. Scooter is solid with zero rattles, the brakes stop on a dime the only issue is the brake pads are noisy but you can upgrade them for around $20. I have not verified but supposedly it has name brand battery cells. The adverised speed is accurate but the range is not atleast not the way i ride it lol.

    The build quality is stellar, and it looks it. My main drawback is the on screen menu. It’s not very clear in the instructions what each mode is capable of. You also need to be careful of cruise control, it just seems to turn on and you need to be aware of it. Overall I like the scooter.

    Brakes Wear out eventually and after a couple uses in the rain it messes with the system and keeps lights on when the scooter is off, speed is good and for the most part the scooter works really well, just needs better water protection and better brakes

    I have to tell you that I did not expect what I received from Best Buy when I ordered the GoTrax Raptor. I have another scooter that was ok for fun little trips around the neighborhood and such, and I thought this was just a bit faster and with a longer range. I could not have been more wrong. This thing is an absolute beast! I genuinely feel like if I were to run into a car on this thing that I will probably be dead, but the Raptor will have probably punched through the car and kept going out the other side! I wanted a new scooter because while my other one is nice and well built, I was never able to get it to go its top rated speed of 18 mph, nor did I get the range I really wanted. Also, it struggled up even slight hills and would almost go airborne when hitting a bump. I looked for a scooter that was more substantial and the GoTrax Raptor delivers in spades. I'm going to highlight some of the main things I like about the Raptor and just a couple of issues that I have/had but were nothing deal breaking.
