GoTrax Scooter Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently got the GoTrax scooter, and it has exceeded all my expectations. It’s fast enough to make getting around fun but still feels safe and controlled. It’s extremely reliable — I’ve used it daily for weeks without a single issue. Setting it up was a breeze; it was basically ready to ride right out of the box but obviously needed a few steps to set up.
One of my favorite features is its long range — it goes surprisingly far on a single charge, making it perfect for errands, commuting, or just cruising around the neighborhood. The high weight limit means everyone in the family can enjoy it, from kids to adults.
On top of all that, the scooter has excellent braking power, giving me peace of mind when riding at higher speeds. I was lucky enough to get it for a lower price during a sale, but honestly, after using it, I can say it’s absolutely worth the money even at its original price.
The buying experience at Best Buy was just as impressive as the scooter itself. The store was well-organized with plenty of open space, making it easy to navigate and find what I needed without feeling crowded. There were enough workers available that I didn’t have to wait long for help, and each one I spoke to was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer my questions.
Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, practical, and well-built scooter!

This is a good ADULT size scooter. Was hoping it would be small enough for my kit but, is now mine. Good scooter to ride along side your kid on there smaller scooter. Battery life is good and is pretty fast for a scooter. Has a headlight but no brake light. Good quality scooter overall.

I’ve been using the GoTrax XR Advance for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. The 15.5 mph speed is perfect for my daily commute, and the 14-mile range is more than enough to get around the city. It feels lightweight yet sturdy, and it folds up easily for storage. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable electric scooter!

It is very accessible, cheap and the battery is actually decent. And it is even portable, I can put inside my car and it does not use too much space while being transported. Assembling is straightforward enough. 100% recommended.

Im a 37 year old amputee and wanted an electric scooter to ride around while my daughter scooters. I have to say im impressed. Great build quality and easy to assemble. It rides pretty smoothly, the battery seems to last a long time, and its pretty fast. Can also use it as a regular kick scooter. Im 6'2" and weigh about 160 with my prosthetic on. Definitely recommend.

We got this scooter for our grandson for Christmas and he loves it! His friends all got the same one as well and it handles very well and can go very fast! We love the lights on it and feel comfortable with him riding it around the neighborhood because it's made very well. Great purchase!

I love this scooter. I’ve been using everyday since buying it and can’t get enough. Great range and speed for my first one. Charging takes a little bit but it’s worth it afterwards lol. I added lights on the bottom I got from Amazon, looks great at night now.

Bought this for my nephews. 9 and 12. They love everything about it bust mostly the speed. My husband and I like to take it for a spin when we’re with them. Not a lot to put together, but what there is, it’s very easy. Keep an eye on the charger, it gets super hot once it’s reached it’s full charge capacity.

We bought this scooter for my 9 year old son for Christmas and he loved it. It was a little tall for him but once he started riding he got used to it right away. It is a scooter that definitely has room to grow with him. He loves how fast it goes and that there is a cruise control. I love that there is a headlight if he wants to ride as it starts getting dark he is very visible to anyone on the road. if anyone is looking to buy their children a scooter, I would highly recommend this one.

My 8 year old loves this scooter. I am so happy we did not buy a smaller one. Trust me your kids are smart enough to ride a bigger scooter. My husband & I can even ride this. It holds 220. It cruises too holy moly. My son burns past all his buddies who parents got them the smaller kid type scooters. It is worth spending a little extra for a high quality scooter. I even let the kids park it inside in our living room. The scooter looks cool. Super easy to assemble.

I ordered this scooter for my 14 year old son to ride back from middle school each day. He wanted a way to get back home without having to wait a while for me to pick him up. We did some research and settled on this one. It is 300$ on Best Buy, which is a steal for a scooter of this quality. Most other scooters like this are around 500$.
It came on the day it said it would and my son excitedly opened it. It was easy to assemble, all you have to do is unscrew the hook and put the top console on. However, make sure to put the red brake line cover into both the brake handle and the red hook before you screw the hook back on. The instructions were not very clear on this part.
The scooter came almost fully charged and my son rode it around for a few minutes in the dark. The scooter has a top speed of 15.5 mph and a rear disc brake. This scooter feels well built and solid and I think It could take a couple crashes. It also has a good scooter-sized headlight and a bell. The console has a screen that displays battery life and speed. However the console is a little hard to see in bright sunlight. Also, the speedometer only goes to 15.5 and then stops.
My son has been using this scooter to come home every day for two weeks now. I have noticed no difference in the speed and quality so far. In the morning we fold the scooter with the simple folding mechanism and put it in the trunk of the car. When we arrive at his middle school, I drop him off and he locks it to the bike rack. When school ends he rides about 2.2 miles back to our house. This is great because it saves time and gas. He usually makes it back in around 20 minutes. We live in a mountainous area, and I am impressed with the hill climb ability of this scooter. It only drops to about 10 mph on steep hills. It does not come to a slow stop like some of the kid electric scooters I see around.
This scooter does not have suspension, but the 8.5” inch air filled tires soften the ride quality. If you have rough roads where you live, I would consider a scooter with suspension. We think it is fine. I have taken a couple tries on it, and the acceleration is quite good. I think it could beat a car to 15 mph from a stop. This scooter you have to kick to start. That means it must be going at least 2.5 mph for the accelerator to work. This is a great safety feature because it means you can’t accidentally hit the accelerator when stopped and fly off.
This scooter also has cruise control. It activates when you hold the accelerator in the same spot for 10 seconds. It makes a short beep to let you know when it activates. This is a great feature to save your thumb from fatigue on long rides. The cruise control disengages when you use the brake or tap the accelerator again.
Charging the scooter is easy. You just plug in the charger and plug in the scooter. When the red light turns green, the scooter is charged. It does take a while to charge, just check every once in a while.
The range on this scooter seems pretty good. It goes for a while without losing a bar. However, my son says that he has noticed that as the battery gets lower, the zippiness and power seem to decrease. So I would not recommend starting your ride with low battery.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
15.5 mph max speed
Strong acceleration
Simple and easy to use
Cruise control
Sturdy frame
Easy to ride and looks great!
Cons:
Dim display
No suspension
Overall, this is a great entry level scooter for anyone looking to get around town or use for a daily commute. Would definitely recommend!
