GOTRAX eLo

What the GOTRAX eLo is built for

The GOTRAX eLo is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 350 W motor and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a 374 Wh removable battery and a stated range of up to 40 miles (64 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The GOTRAX eLo weighs 52 lb (23.6 kg), carries up to 265 lb (120 kg) including the rider and has front suspension.

In the United States the GOTRAX eLo sells for $549, below the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the more affordable models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the GOTRAX eLo may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 350 W motor is above the 250 W limit, its 20 mph (32 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

GOTRAX eLo safety certification

The brand's listing for the GOTRAX eLo does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
