Flex Series Foldable Electric Scooter with Seat 14" 25KPH | 25KM Range

The Gotrax Scooter is great, ended up using it more than my foldable e-bike EBE1 which I love too. Used it a lot when we camp. Both Quality products, that’s why I bought the scooter from Go Trax.

MY thoughts. The 350W motor is underpowered, would not go up slight hills carrying about 190lbs (85Kg), sorry I did not get the 500W motor, but that would made it too heavy too. The non removable battery is I believe a problem, A removing it reduces weight, it is a heavy scooter for a senior. There is also an issue in cold climates, manual states do not store battery/power supply below -4F (-20C) that means the whole unit must be stored in a heated environment in winter as -20C and below are normal winter temperatures in Canada. My EBE1 stays in the trailer, the battery comes inside. I do realize the design is made for more that senior camping trips, so my issues may be minor for what it designed purpose and uses.

I still think it is a great product, and recommend, was a real conversation maker while camping.

Flex Series Foldable Electric Scooter with Seat 14" 25KPH | 25KM Range

I ran a test with a pretty much flat, ideal-as-possible circuit of paved road with an average grade of 0.8% over a 2.5 kilometer length. Rather than the 40KM of range like was advertised, I got 22km of range. Bear in mind, this grade is a rise of 20m over 2.5 kilometers, and this is an average with almost entirely flat surfaces and long straightaways. Under real life conditions, this would probably be much lower and I would expect 6-10km of actual range where I live and in the terrain I would actually drive it in.

In addition, the top speed wasn't totally stable, as it only got 32km/h when the battery was fully charged, and near the end of the battery, it started to go down to 25 and started dropping into the teens. However, this I will not ding it for because I did in fact see the advertised speed under ideal conditions.

My next test will be whether or not it can handle a specific hill that the G4 couldn't do, as a more realistic test of its actual usecase.

The seat design was also quite unpleasant for long rides due to its extreme width, unergonomic design and backwards angle, and the lack of a proper cruise control that I was able to find is a problem as well.

However, in spite of these issues, it definitely is a solid option and it does ride smoothly and will get you places in town in good time, and I cannot really complain about its use to bring me to work, which is its entire purpose.

I looked around at a lot of these and this one is a steal. Great product and built extremely well. It is incredibly easy to put together right out of the box. Battery was fully charged and was up and running in under 7 minutes. There is a light for night riding and is pretty speedy. Easy to charge and comfortable to ride. Even does well in grass. Highly recommend!

I have ridden this scooter to store numerous times and is GREAT for what it is. My old lady rides to work and gets 20km per charge, been 5 months. And she loves it. Many people on my you tube channel love ALL MY VIDEOS ON THE FLEX.
