Scooter arrived from shipment in one box. Upon opening the box, the scooter was nicely packed to protect from any damage in transit. Upon opening the box, the instruction manual and hardware was on top and readily accessible. The hardware included were extra screws, allen wrench and wall charger.
The scooter came mostly assembled. The only assembly required was attaching the handlebars. With the frame and handlebars removed from the box, attaching the handlebar was the first step. To do this, you simply removed two screws from the frame which holds the helmet attachment with the provided allen wrench. You slide the handlebars into place, reattach the two screws and assembly is complete. This all took less than 5 minutes to complete. It is now ready for the road!
It came with a charged battery for the scooter which is nice as nobody wants to wait for it to charge when you first get it.
The scooter feels very sturdy. The manufacturer suggests a weight limit of 220lbs for this model. The pad where you put your feet is plenty big for an adult to rest both feet on when riding.
Turning the scooter on is a simple push of a button located on the handlebars. Once turned on, the display shows a battery power LED which when fully charged shows 5 dashes. It also shows the MPH in a 0.0 format. (For example 10.5 MPH). The LED headlight is also controlled by the power button, simply holding it in 5 seconds turns on the headlight. If the headlight is on, an icon shows on the display screen.
Once you have it powered on and the kickstand up, you are ready for motion. On the right handle bar is a toggle switch you push and hold down to start moving. If you hold the throttle down for 10 seconds when you are at max speed, cruise control is initiated and you can take your thumb off the throttle and keep cruising! By simply pushing on the throttle again or squeezing the handbrake deactivates cruise.
As far as once you are in motion, it is a very smooth, quiet ride. I maxed it out at 15 MPH going on flat surfaces. It does have pretty good power going up moderate hills as I noticed the MPH only drop to about 12 MPH on pretty moderate inclines.
The battery seems to be pretty solid holding a charge. I rode for 3 miles straight and still showed 3 out of 5 battery power left. Again, this was a mostly flat ride but it does seem you can get the manufactured recommended distance on a full charge. Over the course of a few days, I ran the battery to 0 so I could see how long it took to get a full charge. From being completely dead to a full charge battery took right around 5 hours.
I did ride the scooter some at night to test out the brightness of the headlight and I was very impressed. It was plenty bright to light up the road in front of me so I could avoid any obstacles in my way. I also had no problem seeing the light on the scooter when I was quite a distance away from it so I am confident this scooter will provide above adequate visibility at night both as an operator and from being seen by cars or pedestrians on a path or sidewalk.
In summary, this scooter checks all the boxes for a scooter in this price range. It is simple to assemble, simple to operate, adequate features and provides a smooth ride.

The GoTrax - XR LITE is a handy choice for anyone looking for a reliable short range travel method. The XR LITE tops out at 15.5/mph and offers a cruise control setting which is handy for straight distances. The XR LITE is able to fully charge in roughly 6 hours and the battery lasts 7 miles before it will need recharged.The brakes are very reliable and easy to use.
The XR LITE is a nice size and fits both of my size 10.5 feet on the base with room to spare. The XR LITE weighs in at roughly 20 lbs and is very comfortable to carry after it folds up. Once folded up it is easy to store and you can even charge it while folded.
Some issues I have noticed with the XR LITE is it really struggles up hills. Everytime I had attempted to ride the scooter up a hill I had to manually push the scooter and when going downhill it would force itself to stop at 15/mph which gives you a sudden jerk which might knock some users off if they're not careful while riding.
I would highly recommend the GoTrax - XR LITE to anyone first getting into e-scooters, while it isn’t the greatest e-scooter I’ve ever rode it still is very exceptional at the job it has in short distance transportation.

The GoLabs XR LITE Commuting Electric Scooter is awesome scooter for teens and young adults. As a “commuter scooter,” it lives up to its name as a smooth, efficient, and fun ride. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes this scooter stand out:
Simple Setup
One of the key features of the GoLabs XR LITE is its user-friendly setup. Assembly is straightforward, took about 5 mins to unbox and connect the scooter together. However, it did take about an hour to charge out of the box. (I know big deal)
Solid Design and Build Quality
Design is sleek and feels like it was crafted from high-quality materials. The scooter is “lightweight” under 30 lbs, making it easy to carry in one had. The foldable design adds to its convenience, it can be stored in my trunk or garage in small places, perfect for commuters and those with limited space.
Performance and Battery Life
The GoLabs XR LITE can reach speeds of up to 15.5 mph. However I was only able to get to 12 MPH maybe im a little heavy. The motor delivers a smooth and responsive ride. Going uphill it slows down. The battery supports a range of around 7 miles, but I think its more like 5 miles. (I haven’t tested it out yet). Which suitable for short to medium commutes. Maybe Im not use to it but the brakes don’t feel as responsive. Its more of slow rolling stop and a hard stop. Takes a little getting used to and I think its better this way too. If you stop too fast you might get thrown off the scooter.
Fun and Practical for All Ages
For both teens and adults, the GoLabs XR LITE is accessible and enjoyable everyone. The platform is substantial enough for larger feet, and the handlebar height is suitable for taller users. The intuitive controls, including a cruise control feature that activates after holding the accelerator for ten seconds, make it easy to ride.
Conclusion
The GoLabs XR LITE Commuting Electric Scooter is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a reliable, fun, and practical mode of transportation. Its easy setup, durable design, and enjoyable riding experience make it a great investment for both kids and adults. This scooter will be perfect for college student going around campus, high school students going to school or adult living in the city and wants to get around.

My kids have always had some kind of scooter, from the 3 wheeled toddler one up to the very popular Razor brand. We have always brought them on vacations and especially when camping. This was our first electric scooter and I had mixed feelings about making the transition.
Unboxing was my first realization this was different. Unlike the human powered scooters, unbox and go strategy this required some assembly. I am perfectly comfortable with this except the very first step is removing 2 allen bolts that help keep a cover in place where the handlebars are supposed to slide in and get secured. While removing the top allen bolt it seems stripped and didn’t want to come out without a fight. So I tried several options but about 2 hours of careful troubleshooting and using a vice grips and some muscle needed to be employed to remove that bold. I was careful to not damage the hardware surrounding where that bolt threaded into the scooter frame. The only reason I was able to essentially destroy that bolt was because there were two additional bolts provided in the box which I had no choice but to utilize when installing the handlebars.
While that wasn’t entirely impossible to complete the installation, first impressions were made and that seemed to be the theme so far with this scooter.
Charging was straight forward and the charge block has two colors to help, red is charging and green is charged. If you ever wanted to know the battery status you could turn on the handlebar unit and see roughly how many bars the battery had available. The handlebar display also is very simple and easy to read when operating, even in brighter sun conditions.
GoTrax claims 15mph and between myself, my 13 year old, and my 10 year old no such luck at that top speed. Collectively, on level ground we average about 12mph. There also are so many variables that chew into the overall battery life, again GoTrax claims 7 miles which in time equates to about 1-2 hours of constant use in our experience. We did find the steepest hill in the town we live and each tried to see how fast it would power us up and results were exactly what you expect, not super quick. I (dad) couldn’t even move, and as rider weight decreased, speed increased but only to about 4-5 miles per hour as it was working really hard to make progress up that hill.
Build quality outside of my assembly experience has been above average, metal is used in pivot points or areas that could potentially be damaged prematurely. There is a plastic hook system utilized when the scooter is folded for transport that would just need a slight deal of care to prevent unfortunate destruction of the two joining sections. Scooter weight is appropriate and 21lbs doesn’t seem too cumbersome to lug around when taking it places. This is the baby of the GoTrax family and performance does mirror that.
When shopping for an electric scooter there are two variables I would focus on, how long do you want the battery to last and how fast did you want to go. Outside of that potentially brand and warranty as these do have electric components and things can happen. They also have plenty of warnings in the paperwork about not riding in the rain or wet conditions which is something up to this point we have respected.
This has quickly become a family favorite and the biggest challenge we faced was simply having only 1 electric scooter for a family of 4!

Easy Intro to Electric Scooters

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I think this is a great starter for anyone looking to get into electric scooters. I’ve seen many people riding electric scooters in the streets lately, but they are flying around at around 40 mph which I think can be daunting for people who have never ridden one before. This one tops out at 12 mph, but in reality, it tends to average less than that speed. The throttle isn’t that responsive, which I think is kind of good. If you mash down, it won’t fly out from under you. Instead, it gradually brings you up to speed. The brake is nice and easy too. I haven’t tried mashing down on it to test whether I get thrown or not, but I never feel like I might accidentally brake too hard in practical use. It’s nice to have cruise control, but in all honesty, I never use it. The scooter is rated at a 7 mile range and it tops out at 12 mph: given this, I don’t think cruise control would be necessary anyway. It’s great to have a headlight for riding at night. It’s nice that it locks when folding, but the anchor point for the lock isn’t really that sturdy. For those looking to secure this scooter to a bike stand, I wouldn’t recommend it. The lock is good to keep the scooter folded when traveling, but I don’t think it’s meant for security. Overall, this is a great entry-level scooter.

Great Scooter, long range, easy to use

I really like this Scooter. It was protected well in the packaging and easy to remove and assemble, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It does have a foldable design for corner or closet storage. It has good range for neighborhood use, a built in light, and decent level ground speed. The throttle, hold it to keep your speed, sets cruise control. If you stop on a hill, you need to get it started manually, then keep reactivating the throttle quickly to get it to go faster up hill. Free wheels when turned off, use as regular push scooter which is a nice feature. Rough terrain us can be difficult, like in light gravel or uneven ground. There is no shock absorption to speak of, will cause vibration of the handle a lot, would suggest wearing thick riding gloves to cushion the impact on the hands. The scooter does slow down its top speed quite a bit going up any sort of hill/incline, but it is still very useable as long as you, your backpack, and helmet are under the max weight capacity of 220 lbs. I recommend this scooter, it's good for kids and adults for local area use with its 7-mile range.

The GoLabs XR LITE Commuting Electric Scooter comes easy to assemble. All tools included. It's not bulky and not too heavy. Would work great in an area that is pedestrian friendly. Inner city use would be great for little errand trips.
Assembly was quick and easy. Less than 15 minutes to put together. Comes with a little bag hook to hang your bag. Then fully charge the battery. It has a thumb control acceleration and a thumb control brake on the left handle, However you can still use the rear foot brake also. It has enough power to propel a 180lbs person. And plenty of power for my 12 year old girl. The speed was more than adequate for my daughter to cruise around the neighborhood.
It has enough range and speed to for her to zip around the neighborhood to visit her friends. The build quality is good, made out of aluminum/metal. My daughter is thrilled to use it on the daily. I'm glad she has transportation for her to get to the neighborhood park.
I would definitely recommend this scooter for any kid that has outgrown their push razor scooters!

Pretty good little thing

So this is my first time ever with an electric scooter so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. First impressions are pretty good. Box came pretty compacted and first instinct was this is gonna be a pain to put together. I was wrong on every front there thing was a breeze to put together. Basically all you need to do is put the handlebars on and you’re good to go. Took a couple mins of that. Was getting excited but your suppose to charge the thing all the way before your first use. So I did and that took forever. Started charging it just about noon and the thing wasn’t fully charged until almost 6 pm which was kinda of a drag but I’m sure that’s probably the norm for these things. So I took it out for its first test drive. The thing is fun. A couple paddles on each side controls it and off you go. The only reason I’m deducting a star from this thing is it was advertised to go 15.5 miles and hour and I was only able to get the thing a little over 10-11 mph. But in the scooters defense I’m probably not it’s target demo I’m a 220 pound bodybuilder so someone with a smaller frame could probably get it up there but I don’t know for a fact. Brought down to our shore house for use and will get us around town without having to worry about parking so that’s a huge plus. All and all lot a bad little machine.

The GoTrax XR Lite is an electric scooter designed with budget-conscious riders in mind. It offers portability, making it a convenient choice for commuters, students, or anyone needing to store it in tight spaces. It's a practical way to navigate your neighborhood, and its lightweight design allows for easy carrying when necessary. The scooter boasts a sleek, modern design and features a bright LED headlight and rear brake light, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. The GOTrax XR Lite, with its sturdy frame that can support riders up to 220 lbs, is suitable for riders of various sizes. The folding mechanism is straightforward and intuitive, allowing for quick setup and breakdown. I tested the scooter on a route to the nearest grocery store, which was 2 1/2 miles away and included long hills. The scooter maintained a constant speed effortlessly, even on the uphill sections. I rode the scooter at speeds of its maximum of 12 mph for most of my 5-mile trip. While it may not have the most powerful motor compared to higher-end electric scooters, the XR-Lite performed admirably throughout the 5-mile trip, including the uphill sections.
When it comes to safety, the GoTrax XR Lite is uncompromising. Its rear disc brake provides reliable stopping power, ensuring your safety throughout the ride. The XR Lite's battery life is also impressive for its price range. It fully charges in about 3 hours, a relatively quick time considering its capacity. However, for longer journeys, it's wise to monitor the battery level to avoid any unexpected stops. This commitment to safety and practicality is what makes the XR Lite a top choice, even for extended trips.
The GoTrax XR Lite stands out in its category for several reasons. Its solid tires and adequate suspension ensure a relatively smooth ride, although it may struggle on rough terrain. However, its most compelling feature is its affordability. The XR Lite offers excellent value for money, making it a smart choice in a market filled with similar models that can break the bank. With the XR Lite, you're not just getting a scooter-you're making a wise investment in your daily commute or leisurely rides, a decision that you can feel confident about.

Great scooter for a child to a teenager

The GoLabs XR LITE Commuting Electric Scooter w/7mi Max Operating Range & 15.5mph Max Speed is a great scooter for a child to a teenager. However, I would not recommend this scooter for an adult.
Overall the scooter was quick to charge and super easy to assemble. The assembly took less than five minutes. Once charged we began the maiden voyage. However, I was very disappointed the rider was 160 Lbs and the max speed of the scooter on flat ground was approximately nine miles an hour.
How going on a very slight incline the speed slowed down to under seven miles an hour.
I do recommend this scooter if you have a child approximately five years of age to maybe sixteen years of age, and it should be fine for them.
With the rider on the scooter, we went two miles and the battery was on the last leg (It was on the last bar). While it's a nice scooter and it's easy to use and understand, I was not impressed with the power at all. I will say the scooter is very nice looking, and it's well built. It's just not meant for anyone over 160 pounds for sure. The battery life and the motor just can't keep up.

I wanted to love this scooter because it’s small and light which can fit easily in my small condo, but after riding it around my neighborhood to the park and to the lake, I was left a bit disappointed that it struggled to go pass 12 mph on a flat surface area (I am 5’8 and weight 165lbs). I let my nephew borrowed it who is younger and smaller, and he easily got it to go the 15mph.
Personally, I don’t think I can use this for commuting, but I do see myself using this say maybe at a car show or a similar type of event where I can avoid walking/running to go from place A to B.
Charging is easy and I appreciate the light notification to know when the scooter is fully charge. Being so compact is probably the best thing about this scooter. I have had bigger models, and they are so bulky but again faster. The pedal and break all work as expected. The built quality is amazing just like all GoTrax scooters.
All in all, it’s a great scooter but maybe for younger kids or very lightweight people. For an average 5”8 person, it’s just too slow and going uphill you are probably better walking because I only got it to go 6-7 miles per hour.

My granddaughter loves this thing.

So I got this for one of my grandchildren, and she loves it.
When she first got on it, she was surprised at how fast it went. So please monitor your children if you allow them to ride this thing, it's actually really fast.
When you get it out of the packaging, it should be put together about 99%. You just need to put on the handle bars on, and you will be ready to ride. I'd say plug it up, and charge it until it's full. Mine came about 85% charged, so we took it out for her to ride.
The moment it gets going, it will in fact take off when you hit the throttle. It is surprisingly smooth, and rides really well. YES, I did jump on it one time. No one can tell their grandchild no, so I did. I'll admit, I had so much fun I thought about buying me one too. I took it up to about 12mph, and it was moving. I weigh about 230lb, 6'4 and it did very well. She's MUCH smaller, maybe 50lbs...so it felt too fast to her at times. Overall, she is super happy with it. I'm glad too.
This is a nice purchase for a young adult, or young child 10 to 17.
