Just picked one up, cant wait! Our downtown district just put these all over downtown, and after spending 30 bucks to rent one for an hour, its a no brainer to buy one. Great video
Yes. Renting is nice for a one off trip or getting from one part of the city to another quickly and efficiently, but for commuting on electric devices often it makes more sense to own a scooter (or another electric device). Especially as the Gotrax GXL is under or at $300
K I N L E Y . E x E ya I never really got it perfect but I juts pull that thing as hard as I can to get the break line to fit and my screws wouldn’t even go all the way in because of the pressure but it is what it is I put over 300 miles on my scooter in the first month and it was awesome I found this really steep hill and I could easily do 25mph on it and I weigh 170 but once you hit over 25 the scooter makes weird noises and it’s scary 😂😂
Good video. I own one of these and have no complaints. One thing to note, lots of people had to put tire slime into the V1 so they wouldn’t deflate. These come with the slime in the tires from the factory 👍🏽
I didn’t realize that Gotrax started adding tire slime into their tires. That is a good touch to an already great scooter. I have yet to add tire slime to my original GXL as well as my GXL V2.
@@ednercarle7837, I asked Gotrax about tire slime directly and they replied that the tire "inner tube does" have slime in it already. I have not verified this, but assume they are correct. If you still want to purchase tire slime here is a link: amzn.to/2GHjkyy
The rear brake should already be assembled. I know there is nothing in the instructions to help with installing the handlebar with brake line onto the tiller. However Gotrax has a good quick video on how to do this quickly. I installed my handlebar and brake line the hard way.
Hi there! Thank you for posting this video. I received my Gotrax GXL V2 today and unboxed it while watching your video. It definitely made it simple for me to put together and know how to operate. I recently returned a carbon fiber Scooter (another brand) as it completely shutdown after one 4 mile ride. I am hoping that this one will be reliable. Thanks again!
I am glad that I was able to help and I hope that the GXL works out well for your needs. Be aware of the automatic cruise control when riding. It is very nice on long straight rides, but not mentioned in the instruction manuals I have and has a potential to confuse one if not aware. I have a video I’m almost done with explaining this as well.
@@PowerOnFun I am very much interested in buying one, but I am worried about transporting it by a plane. Have you had any personal experience with this concern?
@@muhammadamer3366 lol same, I upgraded to a yume s10 scooter this past weekend. But my.only problem I'm having now is the charger. :/ it'll go to red for a few seconds then back to green without the charger plugged in. So annoying
have problem with the headlights. it keeps blinking even if OFF. do you have any suggestion? took the battery out then put it back, still no luck. it keepa blinking. so annoying
I just bought one and it came.a.few mins ago..I hooked it up and turned it on and it came on, I tried the throttle but the wheel ain't move and the battery says it's full but they say to charge it when u first get it so is that the reason it didnt work?? Does it not work if the battery isn't fully charged when u first buy??
Thank you for watching. I try to get angles and close ups that you would normally see in person to give more of a feeling of how the scooter is constructed.
Is there any button to turn on & move my wheel when i push the speed nothinh happened but the battery is full do i have to still charge after i assemble it ?
The scooter should run on a partial or full charge. You can disconnect and reconnect the handle which would disconnect it from the battery in the neck of the scooter where the battery sits. If you still have issues contact Gotrax right away with as much clear detail as you can (and keep copies of your email for proof you contacted them when you did)
Correction, the electric regenerative brake is still there. I own this model. If you press the brake slightly, it will engage, squeeze a little harder and the disc brake will begin engaging.
I often to neglect to think about regenerative brakes as my local ride is 99.99% flat. You are correct. I was able to confirm with Gotrax that the handbrake on the GXL v2 (in this video) does allow for battery regeneration (regenerative braking) as does the first gen GXL with electromagnetic brake (along with with rear disc brake). It's near impossible for an average user to give numbers for effectiveness on this, but it's, at least a positive, something rather than nothing.
Ok I just bought this wonderful piece of transportation and followed the video since the paper instructions were confusing to me and now I have plugged it in and the Black box on the charger is showing Red is this the light I'm suppose to be looking at or is there one on the Scooter itself?
The LED indicator on the power adapter will be Red when plugged into the scooter and charging the battery. Green when plugged in and the battery is fully charged. The LED is green when not plugged into the scooter.
Ok mine is assembled and charged but I can't seem to get it to cycle between gears 1 and 2. It either turns on the headlight or powers the scooter off. 2 secs, 3 secs, 4 secs no diff. Nothing in between. Is there a trick?
The GXL scooters I have are from very early 2020 and before. I've had a couple of others report that they are not able to change speed modes on their GXL scooters received over the past 2-3 months (estimate on time). I am only speculating that Gotrax may have removed the speed selection option, but I have nothing to confirm that for certain.
Why does the battery symbol on console keep showing even if you are at full charge? I bought new battery from gotrax and mine still shows battery symbol on console
Absolutely love this scooter, its kind of addictive, I can’t stop jumping on it, I weigh 140lbs. & it does 15mph and a bit over pretty easily, but dang, I sure don’t want to wipe out that fast, you can get hurt pretty bad I think, at that speed or 17 mph.
I found the easiest method is to detach the handle and brake line, make sure the brake line is going up the same side of the scooter as the brake on the handle, connect the brake line to the brake on the handle, and carefully seat the handle back on the tiller neck. It's not easy, but possible
Hey idk if this is the best place to ask but, I ordered one of these about half a month ago and has anyone had problems charging the scooter? Even when I try my hardest to jam the charger into the port, it doesn't seem to go in all the way. The charging block stays green even though the battery indicator says 50%. Anyone else having this issue? Maybe I got a faulty charger. May have to return it... Sad because the scooter itself was fun to ride.
The Locking Bracket that prevents left-right movement in Folded Position broke. How do you order parts? Functionally, the unit is good, just cumbersome to handle in Folded Position.
When attempting to attach the handlebar console to the main scooter base, the console won’t go all the way in for me, so the holes for the screws won’t line up and I can’t attach the two pieces with the hook. I don’t want to jam it in and risk braking it, but is it necessary to give it a good hit or something to knock it into place? If not, I’m assuming it was just poorly made and I’ll have to try to send in a claim and get an exchange for a different one... that would be a pain.
I too had questioned the initial handle seating. I would advise removing the handle and slowly seating it to make sure the pins inside the tiller and handle line up. To seat the handle it may require a bit of a tap from the palm of the hand.
Power On Fun yeah I was assuming that the problem was that the pins weren’t lining up, but I can’t imagine for what reason. The console and tiller lined up, the holes for the pins on the exterior lined up, so you would think that the pins on the inside would also line up. I suppose I’ll try it again later tonight and maybe give it more of a pat down and see if they will lock in. Otherwise it’ll have to go back.
Power On Fun update to my problem in case anyone else has the same issue and is wondering: I contacted gotrax customer support and they got back to me suggesting that I remove the battery pack entirely from the scooter so that I can attach that to the console (handlebars) first, then slide that whole piece into the main frame all together... and it worked! (After some time and struggles... if you have to do this as well, the battery can be hard to get out. I suggest turning the entire scooter upside down and tapping on the main frame until the battery begins to slip out).
hey, i have a question power on fun, in the video meter on the top right of the speed test it says its only going 13 - 14 miles per hour. is that accurate? i just bought a gotrax xr, the standard model, im also wondering if the xr model has a speed cap like the xr ultra has. thanks!
I’m having trouble lining up the handle bar to fit perfect in the slots when assembling it..I’m trying not to put a lot of pressure because I feel like it will break. Any recommendations?
If you are not sure if the pins are seating properly you can remove the handlebar from the tiller and carefully reseat it. Once you believe the pins are lined up give it some good taps on top. It should seat evenly and the screws on the side should go in without teouble
I had a difficult issue with unlatching the scooter tiller from the fender latch as well on both my GXL V2 and XR. I was able to make it a bit easier to unscrewing the latch on the neck of the scooter and holding it as low as I can and then screwing it back down. Another thing to try after that is to push down on the fender while pulling it towards the rear of the scooter. I'll have a video coming out in the future to help better explain this
Sorry for the late reply. I too have difficulty with releasing the tiller from the rear fender on the GXL v2. I usually push down the tiller and put my foot on the rear fender and then lift up. Regardless, it’s still troublsome
I can say that the battery life on the Gotrax scooters I have an use are very good and have lasted well over the years. Of course, all rechargeable batteries will degrade in the charge they can keep, but that is normal "wear and tear".
My shoes are a common size of 12 and I have not had issues. I normally stagger my food placement on the scooter somewhere between toe-to-heel and skateboard foot placement and it works well.
@@PowerOnFun My shoe size is 14. My feet are 10 inches long and 4 wide. Clown feet. Would you say you have plenty of room left over? Thanks for answering this is basically the only thing keeping me from buying.
It's the same as the first as far as I've experienced. I do not live in a hilly region. I would say it's adequate for a seldom hilly riding, but not for frequent large inclines. It's best for flat to very slightly hills.
Unfortunately the GXL scooter height is not adjustable. I also know the Segway-Ninebot and Xiaomi scooters that I have seen (Bird and Lime rental scooters included) are also not adjustable.
This or the Swagtron Swagger 5? I like that the Swagtron has the app and phone holder and supports 100lbs more (even though I only weigh 130lb). But I've been seeing the range is better on the Gotrax.
Make sure the line is going up the tiller on the side the brake line is attached by the base, then try to put the brake line onto the handle brake assembly with it deatached, then slowly attach the handlebar to the top of the tiller.
Thank for the very helpful video for a while I've been looking for the best scooter at a good price and this had me more convinced than others what do you think should I buy it?
I would look for an electric scooter later this month (for "Black Friday deals). I know that Gotrax is having a sale/discount on several scooter and a few other of their electric device models (GXL and GXL v2 included at $269.99). I also know that Gotrax has two other new models coming out, but I assume they won't be released until after November (in time for the core holiday time crowd). I've looked at a model available on amazon, the Macwheel MX1, but I've personally not had one to test or compare against. The mileage/distance on the Macwheel and one of Gotrax new model scooter is set be almost double (on paper at least) that of the GXL/GXL v2.
can someone help? I can't get the break wire part down, I've tried attaching it before AND after screwing in the red hook and it's as if the line is too short and there's no give to attach it while its screwed in
Installing the tiller with the brake line can be a pain. I think the easiest method is the one I used last by installing the brake line into the brake on the handle and then attaching the handle to the tiller neck. If not matter how you try to install it the brake line is too short you may be able to loosen the rear brake where the cable connects and "borrow" 1/2in of it for added slack
@@PowerOnFun wait I’m a little confused with this description and what a tiller is, could you be a little more specific please? i even contacted their support team and all they told me was “maybe a bike shop can check it for you” like it’s your job... to support... so I’m basically in the dark here
Sorry. The tiller is basically the scooter neck that connects the front hub motor/wheel and houses the battery pack. If you have the brake wire going straight up the same side where it is attached behind the wheel (not going around the tiller neck) and there still isn't enough slack then easiest fix would be to loosen the rear brake line, pull some of the wire brake forwards, tighten the rear brake, and try to assemble again.
@@PowerOnFun i ended up loosening the very last screw that holds the end of the brake line and was able to slide forward some slack so that I could finally screw the top two screws on the red hook! thanks for replying and helping :)
The battery symbol and bar above it represents the amount of charge the battery has left. It fluctuates some from a stand still to moving as the display tries to calculate the amount of charge left.
@@briannacalvillo1551 idk i’ve had it for a couple months and it doesn’t affect the scooter. but the scooter that had the sign goes a couple miles per hour faster than the box says
Once the scooter is powered on, if you hold the power button for a few seconds it will transition from speed level/gear 1 to speed level/gear 2. If you are on level/gear 2 and hold the power button for a few seconds it will transition to gear 1. I am not entirely sure if you can do this when riding however, but I will test that once the weather is nicer and I can ride more.
Power On Fun great video!! I don’t know how I missed yours. I’ve watch lots of videos on this scooter on assembly. They all suck!!! I purchased the ultra. Been riding it for 2 weeks now. Been riding on it on gear 1. I couldn’t figured out how to change to gear 2. So now after watching yours, I think I can actually catch the green lights 😂
May I know the length width and height of the gotrax gxl 1st model when you fold it. I was planning to buy a carrying bag before ordering the scooter, because it's not waterproof and incase carrying it and it rains it will not be broken from putting it on the carrying bag.
The width of the handlebar is 17”. Folder measurements are: Height (at its highest point. Rear wheel to handlebar) is 15”. Width (of the deck) is 6”. Length (from front wheel to top of handlebar is 44”. I don’t know off hand if the scooter has an IP rating, but the lcd screen and power/speed gear button look to be sealed a little and water resistant. Obviously in a downpour all bets are off, but I believe the scooter can handle some slight drizzle.
Thank you just ordered the bag earlier. Thank you for the quick response. Really appreciate it. Just wanna ask is it only 1 and 2 speed. Because I was wondering if you can control the speed like 6 only for I wanna use it in the public walkway and don't wanna hit somebody. Thanks
Edner Carle , unfortunately there are only two speed options on the scooter. However, the speed throttle switch works well and if you have to go slower than the max speed setting you can.
i'm french so sorry for the writting mistakes...we assembled everything properly, we charged it until the light turned green. the screen lite up but nothing else works, no light, no power at all nothing. Does anybody have an idea why ...thank
I would remove the handlebar unit, then remove the battery within the neck, or tiller, or the scooter. After that give the battery a quick inspection. If you don't see any defects reinsert the battery carefully and then the handlebar and test the power again before putting on the hook and screws that hold the handlebar unit and hook on the tiller.
@@PowerOnFun thanks for the tip, but still nothing. I even tried conecting directly the batery without the metal tubing unto the metal connectors and still nothing! The dash board lights up correctly but that's It... I do find the femal connectors on top of the batery (2 out of 5 small holes)To be différents.Not quite round. Anyways thanks for the rapid advise.
Hey I just got this scooter, and when I fold it it won’t stay hooked on to the back piece in fender? Like I told it and go to pick it up and it keeps popping off, any advice? Thank you
There is a red plastic hook on the tiller (front stem) of the scooter that latches up and into a red plastic piece screwed onto the rear fender. Are those two pieces there and are they making a connection together (or broken)?
Power On Fun yes they are bother there, but when I fold it down, it snaps in but I go to pick it up and it snaps right off, like just doesn’t hold, which is weird
@@PowerOnFun it seems to be on correct. It faces the same way as it does in the video. Do you think id have luck if i unscrewed it and screwed it on backwards?
Hi, I have this scooter about two Months And I have a Accelerator Problem I cant ride my scooter anymore when I m push the accelerator button It doesn't working? what can I do
I have heard of someone complaining of the wiring of the throttle being low gauge and having an issue, but no resolution. I would hit up Gotrax support with details to see what the issue might be and maybe how to further diagnose the issue with their product
The scooter could be ridden in the rain, but the wheels will lose traction on wet pavement in general. In addition, the hub motor is not “waterproof”, but is at least water resistant. However, if avoidable I would not recommend riding any electric (scooter, skateboard, bike, hover board) in or on wet pavement/roads/sidewalks.
There's no gear 2 on many models, it's something a bit new. I bought one late october and there's no gear (said so in the ad on Amazon). You just turn on. The manual said you could go from gear 1 to 2 etc but there were no gears. Doesn't really go to 15.5 mph according to a GPS, either...
Does the scooter power off if you half the red button down for about four seconds? If it's stuck powered on you may have to take the two bolts holding the handle onto the tiller, pull it out to disconnect the battery from the handle and reseat to see if it fixes it
Power On Fun yes it powers on and off fine but I can’t seem to get 2nd gear on it. I had a go trax v2 and it worked fine but this GXL v2 does it only have 1 gear or something maybe?
I would like to state this, both my scooters of this kind was defective as i couldnt connect steering handlebar together towards the scooter itself so i had to return both of them and the battery dies way too fast imo
That is strange. I know the brake line is fairly tight to allow for little to no slack getting tangled or caught when riding, but I've never had an issue with getting everything attached.
Do you think this is constructed well? It's $300 versus the Xiaomi at $500. People have complained about the bracket on the back wheel breaking at the two bolts that hold it to the base of the scooter. Do you think this will hold up with casual riding?
I personally believe that both the GXL, and new GXL v2, are built beyond their low price point when compared to other well though of models such as the Xiaomi M365 and Ninebot Segway ES 2. I’ve not had any issues so far with either scooter, but I’ve not had a chance to ride the new GXL much yet due to weather. I can say however that we put the original GXL through a lot in 2018 and other than getting dirty and rubber wheels starting to wear down naturally there is no visible wear and tear. Both versions are constructed with the same frame and core parts other than a couple of improvements.
If you have any other questions or want a close up detail of parts just let me know. I’ve got an affiliate Amazon link in the description, but I’ve asked Gotrax recently if they would offer a discount code for my viewers. When starting out looking at buying the original GXL I was afraid the price was too good to be true and the adage “you get what you pay for” would apply, but so far myself and all my Kids are happier with both GXL scooters than my Ninebot Segway ES1 (although it’s an older model).
I just got gxl v2 and it looks solid to me and very precisely done. My wife likes it A LOT, so most likely I will get another. I commute about 6 miles or 1 miles (from parking lot) and this thing is ideal for me. Now instead of walking for 10 (or more) minutes it is literally 3 minutes! What I like about it is simple, no apps etc. it works. Break is GREAT.
Prices on Amazon can fluctuate, but normally the original GXL is $300 and the GXL v2 is at the same price or a little more (~$350). I have affiliate links in my video descriptions for both scooters on Amazon. Gotrax does also sell the scooters directly from their site.
I have a new video almost finished going more in depth to the scooter models similarities and differences. The two scooters are almost identical except for the rear brake button on the rear of the deck on the original GXL and the handbrake on the new GXL.
The scooter can be a bit of a struggle at times to unlatch from the rear fender, but most of the time all it should take is when you pull down the fender try and pull it (towards the rear) a bit and then pull the tiller up and lock it in place. To unlock it I usually lean down and place the tiller between my neck and shoulder while I pull the red lever and then pull the red side lock out a bit.
You may want to remove the handle from the tiller neck, run the brake line into the brake handle while making sure the line is running up on the same side, and then install the handle.
I'm sorry for the late reply. I have had difficulty with unlatching the scooter as well after my initial assembly. Once I looked at the latch on the neck and the one the rear fender I then loosened the latch on the neck down as far as I can and then tightened it back up. I believe that small changed helped a bit.
I assume the scooter powers on and the battery indicator shows a full charge (4 bars). The scooter will not engage unless you are going about 2 or 3mph with a shove off due to safety reasons. If it still doesn't engage the front hub motor try removing the handlebar, remove the battery, and reseat them. If you still have issues contact Gotrax support directly
Other than purchasing on Amazon or Gotrax.com I do not know of any discount codes. It may not help, but I do have an Amazon affiliate link in the video descriptions for each of the versions of the scooter.
Power On Fun I’ve been using it for a few weeks and the battery light is green and the scooter battery logo keeps flashing which indicates I need to charge it lol
Power On Fun when I first got it and plugged it in it was red but now it’s always green and my scooter is moving slow and has no bars just flashing the battery
Just a couple of things. It sounds like the scooter powers on and off so I'm guessing the button is not stuck down. One thing you could try is to remove the scooter handle and control, remove the battery pack,band reseat both and try charging. Could possibly be a faulty AC adapter or cord, but other than using another scooter ac adapter there is not much you could do for that.
I think the easiest way is to keep the handle/tiller detached from the scooter neck, attach the brake line to the handle/tiller, and slowly place the handle/tiller over and onto the scooter neck. Then you can gently tap it down onto the neck and battery inside once you think it's lined up (you can check using the two screw holes that secure it onto the neck)
After watching this video fully I recommend that any 1st time buyers of a Gotrack scooter use a different video. This video is a lot of filler and goes to fast in spots you need slowed down. It talks as if you've already had a go tracks in the past and should know the differences and does not even properly show you all of the steps to complete putting the scooter together. I had to completely take mine apart again and put it back together because of this video. I would use another video that uses the pro tip in the comment below mine about the handbrake, screwing the red hook part back in afterward not first, and also shows you how to put in the stabilizing pin for the folding part of the scooter, not like this video that just says its irrelevant. ITS NOT.
I'm sorry you had issues with following and the speed of this video. It's almost 7 minutes and I try to go fast and clear as possible to not waste other people's valuable time with unusable filler and include specs and things that "seem" valuable to those looking for this kind of scooter. I also have many other videos and many other detailed comments on scooter assembly and other items.
I would suggest to pull out the brake line on/in the brake handle, make sure the brake line is going up the same side of the tiller neck as where the line comes out of the scooter foot base, and THEN attach the scooter T-handle bar. I've done it in a different order and also gotten frustrated.
Kane Town Music you can but the scooter is gonna be a little harder to push it can be done tho. I’ve never had that problem with my scooter bc the battery last quite a while.
For anyone who’s having troubles installing the brake wire, install the wire first before tightening the red hook on. Makes life so much easier!
The users manual could NOT be any more vague.
The stupid red hook wouldnt let me
thanks sooo fucking much, I was sweating and doing all I can but this helped me too much.

I am glad that everything worked out well for your scooter purchase. I hope that you have many years of luck and fun adventure riding.
How do you charge it mines won’t charge
I'm having trouble switching mine to 2nd like yours shows
Based on what others like you have stated I think that Gotrax has removed the 2nd "gear" or mode. Most really keep the scooter in 2nd mode anyways.
Do you need a bike pump to fill the tires?
Yes. However, you will more than likely need to use the 1 foot air extension that comes with the scooter in order to air the tires up.

Is it only the power button that is turning on or off? If the whole scooter is I would wonder if something inside the power button is stuck.
I just bought one and it came.a.few mins ago..I hooked it up and turned it on and it came on, I tried the throttle but the wheel ain't move and the battery says it's full but they say to charge it when u first get it so is that the reason it didnt work?? Does it not work if the battery isn't fully charged when u first buy??
The scooter has to be on and moving/rolling 1.5mph to 2mph before the motor will engage.
This video is really good man, i like all the angles
Thank you for watching. I try to get angles and close ups that you would normally see in person to give more of a feeling of how the scooter is constructed.
Is there any button to turn on & move my wheel when i push the speed nothinh happened but the battery is full do i have to still charge after i assemble it ?
The scooter should run on a partial or full charge. You can disconnect and reconnect the handle which would disconnect it from the battery in the neck of the scooter where the battery sits. If you still have issues contact Gotrax right away with as much clear detail as you can (and keep copies of your email for proof you contacted them when you did)
Thank you for this. The instructions that came with my GXL v2 were for a different version....
Correction, the electric regenerative brake is still there. I own this model. If you press the brake slightly, it will engage, squeeze a little harder and the disc brake will begin engaging.
I often to neglect to think about regenerative brakes as my local ride is 99.99% flat. You are correct. I was able to confirm with Gotrax that the handbrake on the GXL v2 (in this video) does allow for battery regeneration (regenerative braking) as does the first gen GXL with electromagnetic brake (along with with rear disc brake). It's near impossible for an average user to give numbers for effectiveness on this, but it's, at least a positive, something rather than nothing.
its garbage
How do you change gears ? Mine don’t wo
I think that Gotrax may have removed the speed mode options from their scooters, or at least this model of their scooters.
@@PowerOnFun Yep I think that’s correct I just hold the speed down at it gets to 15
Nice video
Maybe just tone down the music a bit. Otherwise good stuff man.
Thank you for watching and the constructive comment.
Ok I just bought this wonderful piece of transportation and followed the video since the paper instructions were confusing to me and now I have plugged it in and the Black box on the charger is showing Red is this the light I'm suppose to be looking at or is there one on the Scooter itself?
Also there is a Black Wire about 7 inches long with 2 silver ends what does this go too I didn't see it on the video or the manual
The LED indicator on the power adapter will be Red when plugged into the scooter and charging the battery. Green when plugged in and the battery is fully charged. The LED is green when not plugged into the scooter.
Ok mine is assembled and charged but I can't seem to get it to cycle between gears 1 and 2. It either turns on the headlight or powers the scooter off. 2 secs, 3 secs, 4 secs no diff. Nothing in between. Is there a trick?
The GXL scooters I have are from very early 2020 and before. I've had a couple of others report that they are not able to change speed modes on their GXL scooters received over the past 2-3 months (estimate on time). I am only speculating that Gotrax may have removed the speed selection option, but I have nothing to confirm that for certain.
@@PowerOnFun thanks. It seems to get up to the advertised top speed so guess that's the case.
Why does the battery symbol on console keep showing even if you are at full charge? I bought new battery from gotrax and mine still shows battery symbol on console
Absolutely love this scooter, its kind of addictive, I can’t stop jumping on it, I weigh 140lbs. & it does 15mph and a bit over pretty easily, but dang, I sure don’t want to wipe out that fast, you can get hurt pretty bad I think, at that speed or 17 mph.
No matter what way I do it the brake line is too short I’ve fought with it for an hour now please help
I found the easiest method is to detach the handle and brake line, make sure the brake line is going up the same side of the scooter as the brake on the handle, connect the brake line to the brake on the handle, and carefully seat the handle back on the tiller neck. It's not easy, but possible
Hey idk if this is the best place to ask but, I ordered one of these about half a month ago and has anyone had problems charging the scooter? Even when I try my hardest to jam the charger into the port, it doesn't seem to go in all the way. The charging block stays green even though the battery indicator says 50%. Anyone else having this issue? Maybe I got a faulty charger. May have to return it... Sad because the scooter itself was fun to ride.
Does the screen actually flicker or is that just on camera
The flicker seen in the display is caused by the camera only.
Power On Fun thank you 😊 good to know
Hows your battery when you put it on 2
The Locking Bracket that prevents left-right movement in Folded Position broke. How do you order parts? Functionally, the unit is good, just cumbersome to handle in Folded Position.
When attempting to attach the handlebar console to the main scooter base, the console won’t go all the way in for me, so the holes for the screws won’t line up and I can’t attach the two pieces with the hook. I don’t want to jam it in and risk braking it, but is it necessary to give it a good hit or something to knock it into place? If not, I’m assuming it was just poorly made and I’ll have to try to send in a claim and get an exchange for a different one... that would be a pain.
I too had questioned the initial handle seating. I would advise removing the handle and slowly seating it to make sure the pins inside the tiller and handle line up. To seat the handle it may require a bit of a tap from the palm of the hand.
Power On Fun yeah I was assuming that the problem was that the pins weren’t lining up, but I can’t imagine for what reason. The console and tiller lined up, the holes for the pins on the exterior lined up, so you would think that the pins on the inside would also line up. I suppose I’ll try it again later tonight and maybe give it more of a pat down and see if they will lock in. Otherwise it’ll have to go back.
Power On Fun update to my problem in case anyone else has the same issue and is wondering: I contacted gotrax customer support and they got back to me suggesting that I remove the battery pack entirely from the scooter so that I can attach that to the console (handlebars) first, then slide that whole piece into the main frame all together... and it worked! (After some time and struggles... if you have to do this as well, the battery can be hard to get out. I suggest turning the entire scooter upside down and tapping on the main frame until the battery begins to slip out).
hey, i have a question power on fun, in the video meter on the top right of the speed test it says its only going 13 - 14 miles per hour. is that accurate? i just bought a gotrax xr, the standard model, im also wondering if the xr model has a speed cap like the xr ultra has. thanks!
I’m having trouble lining up the handle bar to fit perfect in the slots when assembling it..I’m trying not to put a lot of pressure because I feel like it will break. Any recommendations?
If you are not sure if the pins are seating properly you can remove the handlebar from the tiller and carefully reseat it. Once you believe the pins are lined up give it some good taps on top. It should seat evenly and the screws on the side should go in without teouble
On a full charge, how far does it actually go?
Distance differs based on weight and temp, but generally GXL V2 is rated for up to 12miles I believe
Thank you so much for the video
So theres a red thing when it locks the bike but i cant unlock it without the screw its on the back wheel
I had a difficult issue with unlatching the scooter tiller from the fender latch as well on both my GXL V2 and XR. I was able to make it a bit easier to unscrewing the latch on the neck of the scooter and holding it as low as I can and then screwing it back down.
Another thing to try after that is to push down on the fender while pulling it towards the rear of the scooter.
I'll have a video coming out in the future to help better explain this
Power On Fun thanks im glad you still reply to comments that videos are super old i just got one thats why
Great music
I have problems with the rear fender and the folding hook, can’t separate them, May you help me please?
You have to pull it by force. That's how I did it and it didn't damage it at all
Sorry for the late reply. I too have difficulty with releasing the tiller from the rear fender on the GXL v2. I usually push down the tiller and put my foot on the rear fender and then lift up. Regardless, it’s still troublsome
Does it have cruise control
Yes. I have a video dedicated to the cruise control on the GXL v2.
@@PowerOnFun OK thx you and if it does why does it not say it has cruise control on the box and on reviews
what mm is the wrench u using?
I'm trying to go to level 2 speed on my 12.5 gotrax scoter but it won't plz help anyone
Hey i am wondering how to charge my scooter because i leave it on the charge but it wont charge
Does it have decent battery life? Also I have big feet, could you tell me the usable deck size length and width?
I can say that the battery life on the Gotrax scooters I have an use are very good and have lasted well over the years. Of course, all rechargeable batteries will degrade in the charge they can keep, but that is normal "wear and tear".
My shoes are a common size of 12 and I have not had issues. I normally stagger my food placement on the scooter somewhere between toe-to-heel and skateboard foot placement and it works well.
@@PowerOnFun My shoe size is 14. My feet are 10 inches long and 4 wide. Clown feet. Would you say you have plenty of room left over?
Thanks for answering this is basically the only thing keeping me from buying.
How the uphill for the new model?
It's the same as the first as far as I've experienced. I do not live in a hilly region. I would say it's adequate for a seldom hilly riding, but not for frequent large inclines. It's best for flat to very slightly hills.
Can you adjust the height on this scooter??? If not will it be a good height for me (a teenager)?
Unfortunately the GXL scooter height is not adjustable. I also know the Segway-Ninebot and Xiaomi scooters that I have seen (Bird and Lime rental scooters included) are also not adjustable.
Idk if I should buy it, should I?
In my opinion, if you are in the market for a budget eScooter I believe the GXL or XR series of Gotrax scooters are a great option.
Power On Fun alright thanks!
You got a like . Thanks for showing the manual. Got this scooter used and didn't have a manual.
This or the Swagtron Swagger 5? I like that the Swagtron has the app and phone holder and supports 100lbs more (even though I only weigh 130lb). But I've been seeing the range is better on the Gotrax.
my break wire looks to be short , is this normal?
Make sure the line is going up the tiller on the side the brake line is attached by the base, then try to put the brake line onto the handle brake assembly with it deatached, then slowly attach the handlebar to the top of the tiller.
Thank for the very helpful video for a while I've been looking for the best scooter at a good price and this had me more convinced than others what do you think should I buy it?
I would look for an electric scooter later this month (for "Black Friday deals). I know that Gotrax is having a sale/discount on several scooter and a few other of their electric device models (GXL and GXL v2 included at $269.99). I also know that Gotrax has two other new models coming out, but I assume they won't be released until after November (in time for the core holiday time crowd). I've looked at a model available on amazon, the Macwheel MX1, but I've personally not had one to test or compare against. The mileage/distance on the Macwheel and one of Gotrax new model scooter is set be almost double (on paper at least) that of the GXL/GXL v2.
Thank you I think I'll buy it since black Friday is coming up
@@gonzalolopez2370 Just got mine today for $250 on Amazon deal.
can someone help? I can't get the break wire part down, I've tried attaching it before AND after screwing in the red hook and it's as if the line is too short and there's no give to attach it while its screwed in
Installing the tiller with the brake line can be a pain. I think the easiest method is the one I used last by installing the brake line into the brake on the handle and then attaching the handle to the tiller neck. If not matter how you try to install it the brake line is too short you may be able to loosen the rear brake where the cable connects and "borrow" 1/2in of it for added slack
@@PowerOnFun wait I’m a little confused with this description and what a tiller is, could you be a little more specific please? i even contacted their support team and all they told me was “maybe a bike shop can check it for you” like it’s your job... to support... so I’m basically in the dark here
Sorry. The tiller is basically the scooter neck that connects the front hub motor/wheel and houses the battery pack. If you have the brake wire going straight up the same side where it is attached behind the wheel (not going around the tiller neck) and there still isn't enough slack then easiest fix would be to loosen the rear brake line, pull some of the wire brake forwards, tighten the rear brake, and try to assemble again.
@@PowerOnFun i ended up loosening the very last screw that holds the end of the brake line and was able to slide forward some slack so that I could finally screw the top two screws on the red hook! thanks for replying and helping :)
hey i just got the scooter do you know what that little battery sigh on it means
The battery symbol and bar above it represents the amount of charge the battery has left. It fluctuates some from a stand still to moving as the display tries to calculate the amount of charge left.
Power On Fun ok but on one of my scooters the little sign stays there even though the scooter is at full battery
Mine to how do I fix that problem??
@@briannacalvillo1551 idk i’ve had it for a couple months and it doesn’t affect the scooter. but the scooter that had the sign goes a couple miles per hour faster than the box says
Hey, I was wondering how did you put it in 2nd Gear?
Once the scooter is powered on, if you hold the power button for a few seconds it will transition from speed level/gear 1 to speed level/gear 2. If you are on level/gear 2 and hold the power button for a few seconds it will transition to gear 1. I am not entirely sure if you can do this when riding however, but I will test that once the weather is nicer and I can ride more.
Power On Fun great video!! I don’t know how I missed yours. I’ve watch lots of videos on this scooter on assembly. They all suck!!! I purchased the ultra. Been riding it for 2 weeks now. Been riding on it on gear 1. I couldn’t figured out how to change to gear 2. So now after watching yours, I think I can actually catch the green lights 😂
May I know the length width and height of the gotrax gxl 1st model when you fold it. I was planning to buy a carrying bag before ordering the scooter, because it's not waterproof and incase carrying it and it rains it will not be broken from putting it on the carrying bag.
The width of the handlebar is 17”. Folder measurements are: Height (at its highest point. Rear wheel to handlebar) is 15”. Width (of the deck) is 6”. Length (from front wheel to top of handlebar is 44”.
I don’t know off hand if the scooter has an IP rating, but the lcd screen and power/speed gear button look to be sealed a little and water resistant. Obviously in a downpour all bets are off, but I believe the scooter can handle some slight drizzle.
Thank you just ordered the bag earlier. Thank you for the quick response. Really appreciate it. Just wanna ask is it only 1 and 2 speed. Because I was wondering if you can control the speed like 6 only for I wanna use it in the public walkway and don't wanna hit somebody. Thanks
Edner Carle , unfortunately there are only two speed options on the scooter. However, the speed throttle switch works well and if you have to go slower than the max speed setting you can.
i'm french so sorry for the writting mistakes...we assembled everything properly, we charged it until the light turned green. the screen lite up but nothing else works, no light, no power at all nothing. Does anybody have an idea why ...thank
I would remove the handlebar unit, then remove the battery within the neck, or tiller, or the scooter. After that give the battery a quick inspection. If you don't see any defects reinsert the battery carefully and then the handlebar and test the power again before putting on the hook and screws that hold the handlebar unit and hook on the tiller.
@@PowerOnFun thanks for the tip, but still nothing. I even tried conecting directly the batery without the metal tubing unto the metal connectors and still nothing! The dash board lights up correctly but that's It... I do find the femal connectors on top of the batery (2 out of 5 small holes)To be différents.Not quite round. Anyways thanks for the rapid advise.
Hey I just got this scooter, and when I fold it it won’t stay hooked on to the back piece in fender? Like I told it and go to pick it up and it keeps popping off, any advice? Thank you
Literally just took out of box and I can’t seem to figure out why when I fold it it won’t stay together when I pick it up, it
Keeps popping off
There is a red plastic hook on the tiller (front stem) of the scooter that latches up and into a red plastic piece screwed onto the rear fender. Are those two pieces there and are they making a connection together (or broken)?
Power On Fun yes they are bother there, but when I fold it down, it snaps in but I go to pick it up and it snaps right off, like just doesn’t hold, which is weird
The only thing I can think of is if either red plastic tiller hook or fender latch is backwards things might not line up.
@@PowerOnFun it seems to be on correct. It faces the same way as it does in the video. Do you think id have luck if i unscrewed it and screwed it on backwards?
Watching this made setting it up ez pz . thanks
Hi, I have this scooter about two Months And I have a Accelerator Problem I cant ride my scooter anymore when I m push the accelerator button It doesn't working?
what can I do
Does the scooter power on when you hold down the power button for a couple of seconds?
@@PowerOnFunYes Everything Work Except the push accelerator
I have heard of someone complaining of the wiring of the throttle being low gauge and having an issue, but no resolution. I would hit up Gotrax support with details to see what the issue might be and maybe how to further diagnose the issue with their product
I'm having the same problem with one I just got the acceleration doesnt work
Can you ride it in light rain
The scooter could be ridden in the rain, but the wheels will lose traction on wet pavement in general. In addition, the hub motor is not “waterproof”, but is at least water resistant. However, if avoidable I would not recommend riding any electric (scooter, skateboard, bike, hover board) in or on wet pavement/roads/sidewalks.
My gear 2 is not working ? I bought it oct 2020
There's no gear 2 on many models, it's something a bit new. I bought one late october and there's no gear (said so in the ad on Amazon). You just turn on.
The manual said you could go from gear 1 to 2 etc but there were no gears. Doesn't really go to 15.5 mph according to a GPS, either...
Thank you
Thank you, this was extremely helpful!
the 2023 version has safetyl lock already built in if anyone was confused why it wasnt in there
Thank you.
mine doesnt seem to go in 2nd gear? any ideas? i hold the button down for 3 seconds and nothing happens
Does the scooter power off if you half the red button down for about four seconds? If it's stuck powered on you may have to take the two bolts holding the handle onto the tiller, pull it out to disconnect the battery from the handle and reseat to see if it fixes it
Power On Fun yes it powers on and off fine but I can’t seem to get 2nd gear on it. I had a go trax v2 and it worked fine but this GXL v2 does it only have 1 gear or something maybe?
I would like to state this, both my scooters of this kind was defective as i couldnt connect steering handlebar together towards the scooter itself so i had to return both of them and the battery dies way too fast imo
That is strange. I know the brake line is fairly tight to allow for little to no slack getting tangled or caught when riding, but I've never had an issue with getting everything attached.
Do you think this is constructed well? It's $300 versus the Xiaomi at $500. People have complained about the bracket on the back wheel breaking at the two bolts that hold it to the base of the scooter. Do you think this will hold up with casual riding?
I personally believe that both the GXL, and new GXL v2, are built beyond their low price point when compared to other well though of models such as the Xiaomi M365 and Ninebot Segway ES 2. I’ve not had any issues so far with either scooter, but I’ve not had a chance to ride the new GXL much yet due to weather. I can say however that we put the original GXL through a lot in 2018 and other than getting dirty and rubber wheels starting to wear down naturally there is no visible wear and tear. Both versions are constructed with the same frame and core parts other than a couple of improvements.
@@PowerOnFun Thanks. I can buy two GXL's for a bit more than the price of one M365. That way I have one and so does my partner. :)
If you have any other questions or want a close up detail of parts just let me know. I’ve got an affiliate Amazon link in the description, but I’ve asked Gotrax recently if they would offer a discount code for my viewers.
When starting out looking at buying the original GXL I was afraid the price was too good to be true and the adage “you get what you pay for” would apply, but so far myself and all my
Kids are happier with both GXL scooters than my Ninebot Segway ES1 (although it’s an older model).
I just got gxl v2 and it looks solid to me and very precisely done. My wife likes it A LOT, so most likely I will get another. I commute about 6 miles or 1 miles (from parking lot) and this thing is ideal for me. Now instead of walking for 10 (or more) minutes it is literally 3 minutes! What I like about it is simple, no apps etc. it works. Break is GREAT.
Why not break off the bracket and throw on a strong permanent magnet to it for 8 bucks? Or, or...pay $200 more for a scooter. Sheez.
Wait, how did you go 16 mph when the max speed is 15 mph
Price
Is there a big difference gxl and the version 2 ,,,and what would be a best buy price ,what would you recommend to buy ,,,,thanks
Prices on Amazon can fluctuate, but normally the original GXL is $300 and the GXL v2 is at the same price or a little more (~$350). I have affiliate links in my video descriptions for both scooters on Amazon. Gotrax does also sell the scooters directly from their site.
I have a new video almost finished going more in depth to the scooter models similarities and differences. The two scooters are almost identical except for the rear brake button on the rear of the deck on the original GXL and the handbrake on the new GXL.
How to open it
My friend left his how do u stand it up lol
The scooter can be a bit of a struggle at times to unlatch from the rear fender, but most of the time all it should take is when you pull down the fender try and pull it (towards the rear) a bit and then pull the tiller up and lock it in place. To unlock it I usually lean down and place the tiller between my neck and shoulder while I pull the red lever and then pull the red side lock out a bit.
Thx
help my gxl v2 speedometer stops at 15.5
and help i dont have speed 1 and speed 2
He has a older model the new one has only one speed and the top speed is 15.5mph
I cant get the stupid break in the in break area. It wont budge and i dont want to break the stupid break
You may want to remove the handle from the tiller neck, run the brake line into the brake handle while making sure the line is running up on the same side, and then install the handle.
Mine done not want to run for some reason
Is this a new scooter or did it run for a bit and stop? When you press the power button does it press in or does it seem stuck pressed in?
This is a really good product, I also bought it 2 weeks ago. 👍
Any problems after 10 months?
Hey. I got this scooter but I'm unable to unfold it. Anyone to fix this?
I'm sorry for the late reply. I have had difficulty with unlatching the scooter as well after my initial assembly. Once I looked at the latch on the neck and the one the rear fender I then loosened the latch on the neck down as far as I can and then tightened it back up. I believe that small changed helped a bit.
The latch on the rear fender is attached in a more complicated way and I was not able to get it loosened up to move it closer to rear of the scooter.
omg, if I have to watch video explaining how I should assemble something it means that their instructions are really bad :( But, thanks!
Mikhail Panin the only thing missing was the bolt lock description that’s why I watched everything else is detailed good
WAIT BUT I CHARGED IT UP AND PULL DOWN THE THROTTLE BUT IT DOESN'T GOOOO
EXPLAIN!!!! :(
I assume the scooter powers on and the battery indicator shows a full charge (4 bars). The scooter will not engage unless you are going about 2 or 3mph with a shove off due to safety reasons. If it still doesn't engage the front hub motor try removing the handlebar, remove the battery, and reseat them. If you still have issues contact Gotrax support directly
How can i get a good deal am planning to get one ,thanks
Other than purchasing on Amazon or Gotrax.com I do not know of any discount codes. It may not help, but I do have an Amazon affiliate link in the video descriptions for each of the versions of the scooter.
They have a reddit discount I paid $270 shipped from their website and if you want a extra battery they have a discount for that also
@San Diago , be sure and check for discount codes also. I believe *RM5* is one discount code I have seen in May for purchasing the scooter.
Mines go 22 miles an hour
Change the tire to solid its much better
Gunna be my go to for beer run down to gas station
Bruh how tf do u know I been using it since the corner store is also down the road lol cant catch me dui now
Mines won’t charge
Did the scooter ever power on? Is there a red light on the charger brick when you plug it into the scooter?
Power On Fun I’ve been using it for a few weeks and the battery light is green and the scooter battery logo keeps flashing which indicates I need to charge it lol
Power On Fun when I first got it and plugged it in it was red but now it’s always green and my scooter is moving slow and has no bars just flashing the battery
Power On Fun no it’s always green 🥴
Just a couple of things. It sounds like the scooter powers on and off so I'm guessing the button is not stuck down. One thing you could try is to remove the scooter handle and control, remove the battery pack,band reseat both and try charging. Could possibly be a faulty AC adapter or cord, but other than using another scooter ac adapter there is not much you could do for that.
In all honesty, me weighing 240lbs won't break the scooter right? Lol
No, it won't break it. The battery is in the neck so there is just structural support in the base (that and the brake cable goes through it)
@@PowerOnFun thanks fam
you wont break it, but may cause stress on electric motor (a.k.a: overheating)
Mine isnt long enough to reach tje brake
I think the easiest way is to keep the handle/tiller detached from the scooter neck, attach the brake line to the handle/tiller, and slowly place the handle/tiller over and onto the scooter neck. Then you can gently tap it down onto the neck and battery inside once you think it's lined up (you can check using the two screw holes that secure it onto the neck)
After watching this video fully I recommend that any 1st time buyers of a Gotrack scooter use a different video. This video is a lot of filler and goes to fast in spots you need slowed down. It talks as if you've already had a go tracks in the past and should know the differences and does not even properly show you all of the steps to complete putting the scooter together. I had to completely take mine apart again and put it back together because of this video. I would use another video that uses the pro tip in the comment below mine about the handbrake, screwing the red hook part back in afterward not first, and also shows you how to put in the stabilizing pin for the folding part of the scooter, not like this video that just says its irrelevant. ITS NOT.
I'm sorry you had issues with following and the speed of this video. It's almost 7 minutes and I try to go fast and clear as possible to not waste other people's valuable time with unusable filler and include specs and things that "seem" valuable to those looking for this kind of scooter. I also have many other videos and many other detailed comments on scooter assembly and other items.
I have that one
Did it include a extentin to fill the front tire with air?
Yeah... I still can’t get this fucking brake line on. 😡😡😡
I would suggest to pull out the brake line on/in the brake handle, make sure the brake line is going up the same side of the tiller neck as where the line comes out of the scooter foot base, and THEN attach the scooter T-handle bar. I've done it in a different order and also gotten frustrated.
