    I have a question I’m planning to buy an electric scooter however i don’t know which one I should get. I’m either between Gotrax flex ultra e-scooter or a Caroma e-scooter but I don’t which Caroma e-scooter is the best? My budget is about 200-500 dollars. I’m probably going to get it from Amazon. Thank you for your time. Have a great day 😄

      Hello! So I personally haven’t reviewed the GoTrax Flex Ultra so I can’t say too much about it. What I can say about the Caroma is that the 1,200 watt version is very zippy and has more than enough power to tackle hills. From the looks of it, both scooters use similar components. The benefit of the GoTrax is that it has a suspension. With that being said, the 14” air filled tires on the Caroma do a great job of absorbing impact and I found it quite comfortable.
      I have a link to the 1200W version with adjustable seat in the description of this video. If you do go with Caroma, make sure to get the one with the adjustable seat. They make one with a fixed seat which doesn’t give you any adjustability.

      It’s definitely a fun scooter. I think what makes it stand out is being a seated budget friendly scooter with 1200W of power. Basically a sleeper scooter haha. Plus in a seated position you get the sensation that you’re moving faster 😎

    That's a nice seated scooter. I think this would be a great scooter for a good number of people, especially those who prefer seated scooters vs standing. Standing does get exhausting, then you deal with ankle pain from just being tired of standing for a long time on a scooter. lol

      @tomsgadgetgarage  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha yah foot fatigue becomes a thing, especially after long rides. I’m starting to like these seated scooters more and more. Just need to make sure you have a nice comfortable seat on them. Thankfully they all use bike seats so a quick swap is easy.

      @@tomsgadgetgarage There's another P5 version with fixed height seats but comes with shocks on the front and rear wheels. My concern is that for a 5'10" guy like me, it's sitting too low to be comfortable. The one you review here has higher seats with shocks, but no wheel shocks. What do you think? Which one is better?

    • @tomsgadgetgarage

      I prefer the one with adjustable seat and handlebars. I’m also 5’10” and definitely took advantage of the adjustability. The 14” tires honestly do an excellent job of absorbing impact so no suspension really wasn’t an issue for me.
