GOTRAX GX3

What the GOTRAX GX3 is built for

The GOTRAX GX3 is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a 1,000 W motor and a top speed of 38 mph (61 km/h).

It carries a 1,350 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 60 miles (97 km) on a charge.

The GOTRAX GX3 weighs 94 lb (42.6 kg), carries up to 300 lb (136 kg) including the rider and is rated IP54 against water.

In the United States the GOTRAX GX3 sells for $1,699, above the median of $530 across 163 electric scooters with a US price, among the premium models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the GOTRAX GX3 may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the GOTRAX GX3's top speed of 38 mph (61 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 GX3 safety certification

The brand states that the GOTRAX GX3 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.
