Founded in 2017 in Texas, GoTrax is an electric scooter company that proves comfort, utility & safety aren't always tied to price. Consumers especially love the GX series, the company’s flagship e-scooter series, which ranges from the lightweight GXL to the off-road-capable GX3.
Today, we’ve pitted all of these scooters against each other to gauge each of their capabilities, spec sheets, features, and most importantly, prices, to find you the right GoTrax GX e-scooter.
The Essential Budget Commuter
Priced at $350, the GoTrax GXL V2 is an ultra-affordable, foldable, lightweight e-scooter that features a single 250W rear-hub motor and a 187 Wh battery. The e-scooter tops out at 15.5 mph and has an estimated range of 12 miles.
The vehicle also has a front e-brake and a rear disc brake. However, it features no suspension. Its 8.5-inch Solid Airless tires may compromise comfort, but are the most durable option. The scooter altogether weighs 27 lbs (12.2 kg) and can handle a maximum payload of 220 lbs (100 kg).
As the baseline entry in the lineup, the GXL is built purely around convenience, portability, and value. Its simple folding frame makes it effortless to carry up apartment stairs or stow under a desk at work. An integrated LED screen displays your speed and battery level at a glance, while an ultra-bright headlight ensures safe night riding.
The Dual-Motor Gateway
Priced at $1999, the Gotrax GX Zero scooter features Dual 500W motors and a 576 Wh battery. This combination can ensure you reach a top speed of 28 mph (45 kph) and keep you riding for up to 30 miles. The scooter also features dual mechanical brakes, front & rear suspension, and 10-inch pneumatic tires, all to keep your rides comfortable, irrespective of the terrain.
What makes the GX0 unique within the performance lineup is its user-friendly swappable power system. It features a fully removable battery deck, allowing you to pop out the battery to charge it separately or swap in a spare unit for back-to-back long-distance trips. Additionally, the GX0 ramps up the style with customizable RGB ambient deck lighting and an ergonomic rear kickplate that gives riders a stable, locked-in stance during rapid acceleration.
The Torque & Terrain Beast
Priced at $1499, the GoTrax GX 1 features dual 600W hub motors, with each motor’s voltage increased from the previous version’s 36V to this one’s 48V architecture, ensuring more torque. The scooter also features a 720 Wh battery, can hit a top speed of 30 mphs (48 kph), and can keep you going for an estimated 35 miles (60 km) per full charge.
Beyond raw speed, the GX1 reinforces its chassis with A6061 aviation-grade aluminum and steel construction, raising the payload capacity to 300 pounds. It trades standard tube tires for wider 10" x 3" tubeless pneumatic tires, which offer superior puncture resistance and a wider contact patch for cornering grip.
Mid-Tier Power, Long-range Performance
Priced at $1799, the GoTrax GX2 features dual 800W motors. It also features a 960 Wh battery. This combination lets you achieve speeds as high as 25 mph (56 kph) and ranges of up to 40 miles (64 km).
The GX2 shares the same 76-pound chassis weight as the GX1 but focuses on tuning performance and damping. It introduces more responsive, adjustable dual suspension components designed to neutralize harsh drops, high-speed vibrations, and rough trails. The cockpit controls also feature upgraded throttle mapping for smoother modulation between dual-motor and eco modes.
The Flagship Beast
Priced at $2199, the GoTrax GX3 Off-Road features dual 1 kW motors and a gargantuan 1.3 kWh battery. This combination lets you hit speeds as high as 38 mph (61 kph) and has an estimated range of 60 miles (96 km).
Every component on the GX3 is oversized for heavy-duty riding. The extra cost introduces 11" x 3" all-terrain knobby tires and a massive 94-pound structural frame featuring heavy-duty dual hydraulic suspension. To safely bring this heavy machine to a halt, GoTrax upgrades from standard mechanical cable brakes to Nutt hydraulic disc brakes.
Added conveniences include dual charging ports to cut recharge times in half, integrated LED turn signals, and a digital passcode lock built into the console display for anti-theft security.
The Verdict
Selecting the right GoTrax scooter ultimately comes down to balancing weight, range, and intended terrain. The GXL is best for short-distance city commuters who prioritize lightweight portability, flat-free tires, and simple operation. The GX0 is ideal for urban riders looking for dual-motor hill climbing, full suspension comfort, and the convenience of a removable battery.
The GX1 is great for riders seeking extra chassis durability, 30 mph speeds, and wider tubeless tires for mixed pavement and park paths. The GX2 is tailored for high-speed commuters who need up to 40 miles of range and 35 mph performance to keep pace with city traffic. At the same time, the GX3 is built for enthusiasts seeking maximum speed, 60-mile range, hydraulic stopping power, and all-terrain capabilities.
