GOTRAX GX2 Dual

What the GOTRAX GX2 Dual is built for

It has a 1,600 W motor and a top speed of 35 mph (56 km/h).

It carries a 960 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 40 miles (64 km) on a charge.

The GOTRAX GX2 Dual weighs 75 lb (34 kg), carries up to 300 lb (136 kg) including the rider, has full suspension and is rated IP54 against water.

Where the GOTRAX GX2 Dual may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the GOTRAX GX2 Dual's top speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

GOTRAX GX2 Dual safety certification

The brand states that the GOTRAX GX2 Dual is certified to UL 2272.

UL 2272 is the US safety standard for the electrical system of personal e-mobility devices such as electric scooters.

New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there.
