Upgraded safety features from the last model
I bought two GXL V2s only a month prior to this one and they have a different safety locking device for to prevent the scooter from folding while riding. The old one seems flimsy and didn't lock into place securely. This one has a new locking device that is much better quality. Overall this scooter does a good job riding around town. I'm 160lbs, and the speed keeps at about 14.5-15.2 mph. Battery life is good so far, but it's brand new so we will see as time passes. Also, I noticed this new model doesn't have the "1" and "2" speeds...just the high speed so I have to be sure my 8 year old doesn't ride this one and only takes the older one.

    Awesome Gotrax scooter!
    I purchased this for my daughter, which we received about a month ago. It's very easy to put together, being that most of it is already assembled. My daughter is 12 years old and absolutely loves her scooter. She goes out and rise it every day. It is everything the ad says and more. It goes approximately 15 1/2 mph easily. We highly suggest if you're looking to purchase a scooter that you give this one a try!!!!

    Damaged merchandise....
    Haven't tested it out yet, but after putting it together I noticed that cylinder the handles slide into was damaged. Will probably just wrap it with electrical tape to keep the elements out of the battery area.

    Great short distance ride
    The unit was easy to put together and took around 6 minutes. It was already charged when it arrived so I got to try it right away. The ride was smooth and the brake and accelerator was responsive. It has a flashlight which is pretty bright. The led display is functional and had km for those who like it. I thought the bell was quieter than I'd like in a busy city. The wheels itself were durable and big enough that I experienced a smooth commute to work. Good value if you don't plan on traveling too far since the battery life is subpar. Also quite heavy for the size.

    Great Features!
    I bought this a month ago. I am very happy and satisfied with this product. It's very convenient for me to go to places. I would recommend people to buy Gotrax who travel in short distances, like me who goes to school for 2 miles everyday.

    Endless fun for Adults and Kids alike
    We bought these scooters since we got to first try them with family down at the beach. Since having them, we now have neighbors and friends following suit and buying them as welk.

    Great scooter
    I brought my scooter about a month ago and I am glad I did. I live about twenty minutes away from the lightrail and having the scooter cut my time down to a seven minute trip to the train and now l just ride there, fold up my scooter and hop on.

    Faster than advertised!
    I bought this less than a month ago and so far, I am extremely happy with my purchase. It is only advertised to go up to 15 mph, but it actually goes up to 25 mph, which is a bonus because this scooter is reasonably priced. If your thinking about purchasing a reasonably priced, well made scooter, look no further. This scooter is exactly what you need!

    Very user friendly
    This purchase has been such a great investment!. Scooter speed is great, brakes can stop abruptly very fast and the battery life actually lasts longer than expected. What I like the most is how easy it is to carry the scooter with you. The scooter is easily foldable and light enough for you to carry and bring with you to your office, class etc. Definitely recommend this purchase!

    Love this thing!
    I bought one for me and one for my husband to get out and enjoy the outdoors more. We have tons of paved trails in our area and it does really well. It goes up to 15 mph on flat surfaces and the big tires handle dirt and small gravel without much issue. The throttle button on mine does occasionally get stuck halfway, but it isn't much of a problem as it's usually on cruise control anyway. The charge is fine and we love that we can just fold them up and throw them in our car to take them somewhere else. I would definitely recommend at least trying one of these out, totally worth the money. I haven't tried them out in the dark, but there is also a small light feature on the front. Oh! and the kickstand is a plus when you need to take a break and get water or whatever.

    Finicky but Valuable
    I bought this a few weeks ago to get around my campus because I recently changed living locations which made most of my walks much longer. It's been worth it, but the product has a few issues. The accelerator kinda sucks, you either just go or you don't. It may take 3 different signals before the scooter understands you want to get out of cruise control. You have to know your terrain because the capability of your breaks is limited. Range is not as advertised in my experience. I'm having trouble reaching too speed at times, even in downhill or flat terrains, which is concerning. Other than these things, it was still a worthwhile purchase, I just have to accept a lower quality product for convenience.

    Xmas Gift
    My 12 year old daughter got this scooter for Xmas and from her perspective and mine, this is a great product. Good instructions, functions as promised, looks good and in general delivers. It's used for recreation around our neighborhood but I can see how it would be great for a short commute or use in a city. Only suggestion to the GXL team is including a stop light.

    My son LOVES it!
    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 10 year old son. He is 5'2 and a kids scooter wasn't for him. Long story short he loves. it! The scooter gets up to 15.5 miles per hour. The only flaw was not providing any instructions with the scooter. I would recommend packing it with some operational instructions. We had to go onto Youtube to figure some things out. Additionally, the videos show the scooter changing from the 1 to 2 to increase speeds but this scooter doesn't have that function, or if it does, we haven't figured that out. Overall the scooter is durable, has good speed, and made pretty well.

    Awesome scooter!
    Bought 2 of these for my kids Christmas. Let me just say I'm highly impressed! These are high quality, sleek design and the battery life is amazing! We have had so much fun on these. I'm going to order myself one soon! Both kids love it as well. They ride smoothly. Brakes work perfectly. I'm so far completely satisfied with my purchase. And I researched a ton before buying these. I compared to so many others and Gotrax always came out the best choice. I'm glad I made the right choice!

    Great scooter!
    We got this for my daughter's 12th birthday and she absolutely loves it! She is almost 130 lbs and she can get around great on it! Pulls amazing on hill and she even rides it in the grass. Would definitely recommend to someone looking for a good beginner scooter over that 120 lb weight limit that most scooters have! Was also shipped VERY quickly!

    Excellent buy
    For over year experience, it is a really happy purchase. It did 15 mph and up normal weather, and quite speedy on bumpy road. During winter, the battery needs more power but still is trying its best as long as you fully charged. Overall, excellent buy.
