In this video I'm unboxing and taking a first look at this pretty sweet electric scooter from GOTRAX. This is the 2020 XR Elite model, and it's quite a blast to ride!
It features a 300W motor with a top speed of 15.5 mph. The long range / high capacity battery can support up to 18 miles depending on riding conditions - so this is great for your commute to work or out and about in the city!

I have one on order. Here it is 2023 already hard to believe. I am just wandering what do you think of the scooter after 3 years?
I actually gave it to a relative last year, but my kids and I did use it quite a bit for a long time. Overall I think it was a great scooter!
Thanks
How did u get it to open mines wont open
Not sure what you mean?
This thing is pretty fun! Does anyone else out there have a GOTRAX Scooter? bit.ly/gotrax-xr-elite
I recently bought a GoTrax Ultra. When I bought it I was thinking it was confusing because it's so similar in specs and appearance and almost everything to the GXL. and now they released an Elite that is basically the same thing as well. I don't get why they keep releasing new models that are exactly the same (and only $10 price difference). Only thing I can think of is that they're just rebranding from other MFG's. I like the Ultra I have though but I just wish it would go faster. It had a top speed of 15.5 but you'r averaging much slower since it cuts out the motor at 15.5 and the motor restarts around 13.5-14.
You are right on the various different names and specs of the different models. It may be what you are saying/mentioning - that they are rebranding other scooters. I will say that I also wish it would go faster than 15.5 mph. I feel that it probably could, and it could definitely go faster downhill if it were allowed to coast vs be restrained by the motor. I haven't had a ton of experience with other scooters - only a few various rides on the Lime / Uber scooters in San Diego :)
It does seem pretty well made though and a good overall build quality.
I just bought mine two days ago, how long did it take to ship?
I think it took about 5 days because UPS said it was delayed due to "civil demonstrations".
@@TisforTech ok thanks! How long did it take to process?
I just received mine yesterday and it’s working very well, except for the back light. Do I have to plug something to make it work ?
It only comes on when turning on the headlight - did you try that?
@@TisforTech yes, the headlight comes on, but not the back one.
Hmm, the only connections I had to make were with the handlebar to top vertical tube. Never had any plug in the back.
We just received our xr.elite and love.it so far. My 15yr old used it to.tool.around to friends and family house prob 10miles. and ill.use it too.6+miles this weekend. We got a.120off the 499.price on amazon. Ended up being $less than the ultra and the elite has bigger battery and goes further and has a wider deck and more safety lighting features
What was your weight I’m 230lbs I don’t know if I should buy it
Well I weigh a bit more than that and it did fine :) Trying to lose some weight but that's a whole other story! 😬
Hey bro, how has this scooter been treating you since this vid?
It's actually been great! No issues, and the family has used it a bunch.
Awesome video.... I recently did an u boxing of this Elite on my channel but yours has live action footage. Great job man. I hope to get a proper review done really soon.
Hey Jason... I actually watched your video yesterday. I was looking to see if there were any other unboxing's of this one :) I didn't go into as much detail as yours for the actual handlebar assembly! Thanks for the comment!
@@TisforTech yeah i mean it was pretty easy to assemble to the handlebars, but those wires were crammed in there pretty good.lolol. you gonna do a more in depth review?
Yeah, planning on doing some more at some point... Not sure on the assembly side - because I do agree the wires were jammed in, but I just kind of folded and shoved them in there :) I might do some sort of distance test or simulation of a commute etc... Maybe connect up a few action cams and see how it goes :)
Any "Stem Wobble" - I am seriously considering Buying this Scooter. Appreciate any Real-world input.
No - not that I have noticed. It's been a solid scooter.
@@TisforTech Thanks. Appreciate your feedback.
Great vid. Thinking of buying one myself. Can you manually change the speed molds? Owners manual online does not specify.
No, can't change the modes.
@@TisforTech thank you. Does any e-scooter have a true kinetic energy recovery? Will charge under human or gravity power? Thanks for the insight. Love your content.
@@TennhauserGate I've seen a few advertised in the past as such but to be honest I don't think that they would really be that effective. This is a good article that talks about how inefficient it really would be. electric-scooter.guide/guides/electric-scooter-regenerative-brakes/
Does it fold down?
Yes, the handlebar folds back and clips to the rear fender/guard. If you look at around 5:00 in the video you can see it folded.
Thank for the info.
Sure...
I just got mine today how long does it take to charge the battery?
Sorry, just saw this! Takes about 4 or so hours for mine to charge.
Great video! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! 👍
nice video bro
Thanks
Great review. I ordered a gotrax g4 because the specs kinda rival the ninebot max. They claim it can go 20mph and battery life about 25 miles. My first scooter. From your experience are they reliable?
I've had good experience so far with my GOTRAX. I like it alot - wish mine was a little faster! Still trying to figure out if there is an easy way to bypass the speed limiter :)
@@TisforTech get a battery with higher output
How much?
Right now $399, but was on sale for a bit at $349.
Nice video thanks for posting..have you ridden the xr ultra? If so wondering on your thoughts between the two. Did you notice any difference with the battery being in deck vs neck of the scooter? Did 15.5 mph feel slow? I have heard disputing thoughts on it
I have not ridden on the XR Ultra unfortunately. I do like the fact that the batteries are based low in the deck vs the neck. I would assume that slightly changes the characteristics of handling - with the lower center of gravity. But that would just be a guess because I haven't ridden the other. 15.5 mph didn't necessarily feel slow, but it would be great if the top speed were a bit faster. I'm not talking about 30 mph, but an additional 3-5 would be good for faster traversal in flat / long rides.
T is for Tech I agree I have looked online and haven’t seen any way to unlock the speed limiter on the gotrax scooters. With a 300w it can definitely go faster. Battery life would suffer but I would be fine with that.
Yeah... Would be interested to see if there was a way to bypass - but it's probably embedded in their speed control module :(
15mph.doesnt feel.slow on.it. it's a sturdy ride
Just ordered one😎👍 while im waiting for my Apollo Explore 👍
Nice 👍 The Apollo looks pretty amazing :)
Hi, great video by the way
It can go kind of slow, but obviously the slower you are moving the harder it is to keep control of it without wobbling. I guess it depends on how fast your friend walks! :)
Do a real world range test
Planning on it...
Does this have different speed modes ?
Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that. There are 2 modes. One that goes slower, and one that will get to the max of 15.5 mph. You basically hold the red power button for 3 seconds to engage the faster speed. (see below comment...this may be incorrect...there is a sticker that indicates there is a 3 second push of the button for a different speed mode, but there is no indication that there are multiple modes)
T is for Tech thank you for the review friend . Just purchased this scooter 🛴
Cool.
Question how do you know it's activated? I always hold it for 3 seconds and it doesn't give me any indication that it's on
Yeah so I'm confused about this too. I assumed this was the case because of the icon on the sticker that seems to indicate there are two modes. When my kids were riding I thought it was going slow until I did that. But it may not be true.
Great vid man. Im caught between 2 different scooters for my first and this video did more than any other as far as helping me decide. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Too put it in good terms, my xr elite came in today, and it’s getting sent back tomorrow. That should say everything. If you want quality and something that actually runs without feeling like your tossing a coin on a good product, just get an e bike, costs a lot more but you get out of it more than this dinky thing
An ebike is much different than a scooter.
@@TisforTech really? That’s quite obvious. I’m just stating that I bought this exact scooter and it was not worth the 400$ I paid for it, maybe if the motor didn’t seize after a quarter mile on a full charge I’d have different feelings
Ok... I'm just saying that people that are looking for a scooter aren't necessarily looking for an ebike. Sucks that you had issues with it - but from the general feedback I've heard and my own experience it's a pretty solid scooter.
@@TisforTech it did teach me a valuable lesson, not to be cheap when it comes too technology, you get what you pay for and there is a reason it’s cheaper than most e scooters, I’ve read so many negative reviews about this scooter and I just don’t want someone ending up with the same dreadful feeling of “oh I just drained 400$ into what was supposed too be my commuter too work, and got a pile of non running metal wire and plastic with some wheels on it”
@@corbinw6922 Thanks for posting the feedback. Appreciate it. And hope you find something better that meets your needs (and doesn't break).
Great video. I'd like to see a range test please.
Yeah, am planning on doing that...
Found ya Joey and i agree a range video!
Dude this scooter is too slow people should use their scooter for fast transportation like cars. My 5600w (6000w+ actual output) scooter lost one of the controllers due to failure and been running off one motor (3000w) and still managed to go 50+ mph on the road shocking drivers out there.. You might want to change the way you think about scooters and treat them like cars. Get a fast ones like I have and you have plenty of power that you can use in the future. You can even hook up a trailer to the scooter (hooks on the seatpost) to transport big and heavy stuff. Financial collapse is coming soon and a lot of people will go homeless and lose their cars... Electric scooter would be a good replacement for transportation needs.
Uh....Ok
Its ok,u look gd anyway
lol
