Recently launched E scooter hardware overview

» GoTrax GXL Commuter V2 E-Scooters

With new and unique commute options being available in the market every other day, it takes a toll to decide on choosing the perfect commute option considering the facts like the prices, quality, range and the overalls.

E-Scooters have become the most trending modes of transportation since COVID-19 has attacked the world, from choosing the perfect micro-mobility vehicle to making sure these vehicles are worth the price, it is a long tedious process.

Thus, GoTrax has come to the rescue, with launching GoTrax GXL Commuter V2 E-Scooters, launched in the year 2019, at a high price, these scooters are now available at an extremely affordable price of $300.

There are no other electric scooters available at this price offering all the features such as pneumatic tires and disc brakes, etc. and it is believed to be the only trusted company considering the brand name and the reputation of the company.

V2 is an advanced model of the GXL range, previously introduced V1 was available in a similar price range but did not manage to offer adequate features as offered by the V2 range.

Let’s Dive Into Accurate Details About The GoTrax GXL Electric Scooters (Commuter V2 )

» Acceleration

GXL V2 comes with a 250-watt motor, which provides a quite decent acceleration to the scooter, perhaps with the price that GXL V2 comes at, 250-watt is considered to be extraordinary.

Although, the scooter does not provide a zero start feature, which means that the riders have to walk through with the scooter for about 3kms to get the motor started in the scooter.

26 kmh is the maximum speed that the scooter has reached to until now in about 10.0 seconds, which is fast enough for the majority of the riders, although, the riders habituated with riding high-speed e-scooters find it a little slow.

» Hill Climbing

The GXL V2 provides a decent speed during the hill-climbing process, but since the motor is not high end, the speed of the scooter will eventually slow down on steep hills, perhaps with a few kicks, the scooter can regain its speed and reach the desired destination.

An essential factor to always keep in mind while driving uphill is that any scooter while climbing cannot bear a weight of more than 100 kgs, thus when the scooter reaches the limit, the range and speed tends to gently fall.

» Top Speed

The manufacturers claim that the scooters are designed to drive up to the maximum speed of 26 kmh. If compared with the high ranger scooters, this speed is considered to be very average, but considering the price range, it is a decent speed for the urban commute.

Mostly, shared electric scooters such as Bird, Lime, Spin or Xiaomi Mi 365 being much more pricey than the GXL V2 scooters still provide a range of 26 kmh.

» Range

The manufacturers claim to have provided a range of 19 kms in-built for the V2 electric scooters.

The scooter comes with a lithium iron battery pack of about 187-watt hour, which provides a constant backup to the scooter.

The range also depends on factors like the weather, in the times of extremely cold weather, the scooter tends to deliver a lesser range.

Also, factors like hilltops, frequent stops, and higher speeds can lead to decrease in the range provided by the scooter.

» Braking

Regenerative and rear disc brakes are provided in these electric scooters.

The front brake is decent quality, while the rear disc brakes steal the show by being operational in an easy to use hand lever traditional manner.

This braking system makes operating and riding the scooter at various positions easier since the brakes are extremely flexible.

At the same time, this braking system ensures the safety of the riders since the left hand is always supportive of the brakes.

GoTrax has won the game with the rear disc braking system at an affordable price, since most of the electric scooter companies provide a single braking system, jeopardizing the safety of the riders.

What Makes GoTrax GXL Commuter V2’s Additional features/Functionality

» Portability

The GoTrax GXL weighs about 12 kgs, which is the same as any decent electric scooter. The scooter is swiftly foldable in second and becomes compact in the size of 99 cm by 43 cm by 36 cm.

Although the frontal handlebars aren’t foldable, the scooter still effortlessly fits in a car’s backseat or under a desk or carriable on the shoulders.

» Cockpit

The scooter comes with a bright yet minimalist display in the front, that displays the battery and the speed status.

The accelerator is a knob operational by a thumb on the right.

The most significant part is, the knob provides exceptional motor control, avoiding any kinds of accidents by grabbing the handlebars.

A tiny red button controls the power on/off, and gear functions which are situated in the middle of the handle.

The handlebars are wide enough to help the riders maintain a decent posture and ride the scooters effortlessly.

» Lights

The scooter comes with a LED light in the front, and a rear reflector. Although, the scooter lacks a tail light.

The LED light doesn’t provide a fully bright view during the night time rides, and thus it is advisable to attach separate lights in front of the scooter to avoid any sort of accidents.

» The Deck

The V2’s deck is sized 47.2 cms by 15.2 centimetres standing, the scooter also provides the facility to stretch the scooter out a little bit in case the riders find it difficult enough to ride because of the smaller horizon.

The handlebar to the deck is about 94 cms and provides about 10 cms of ground clearance.

All in all, this electric scooter is an excellent choice at a decent affordable price sufficing all the electric scooters needs and comes with easy and quick usable tools.
