Keep in mind that cold temperatures, hills, frequent stops, and higher speeds will all decrease range. This test provides a very realistic estimate of range under rigorous test conditions. We ride the scooter as quickly as is safe and in the fastest, least energy-conserving mode. Our range test is performed on a standardized urban loop with frequent stops/starts, hills, rough terrain, and the same 74 kg rider. The GoTrax GXL Commuter V2 has a manufacturer-claimed range of 19 kilometers.ĭuring our range test, the GXL V2 went 16.3 kilometers on a full battery. Scooters like the Xiaomi Mi M365, priced higher, also have a top speed of 26 kmh. Typically, shared scooters (e.g., Bird, Lime, Spin) will have a top speed of 26 kmh. We think this is fast enough for most urban commuters but might leave some wanting more. This top speed is on the low side for scooters in general but on par with other budget-priced scooters. If you are lighter, you will get closer to the claimed range. The Gotrax GXL Commuter V2 has a manufacturer-claimed top speed of 26 kmh.ĭuring our top speed test, we achieved a speed of 21.7 kmh (74 kg rider on the flat). Keep in mind that hill climb performance (and other stats like range, acceleration, and top speed) will drop as you approach the 100 kg weight limit. However, you can supplement the motor with a few kicks on an incline, and you will be able to conquer many urban ascents. The GXL V2 has decent hill performance, but keep in mind that going up steep hills will be slow. It completed the test in 20.9 seconds with an average speed of 10.5 kmh.įor comparison, this is very comparable to the Xiaomi M365, which reached the top in 20.8 seconds with an average speed of 10.6 kmh. We put the scooter through our standardized hill climb test (60 m, 10% grade, 74 kg rider). However, this scooter costs $100 to $200 more than the GXL V2. This is fast enough for most people, but if you’re used to riding more powerful scooters, this will feel a bit slow.įor comparison, the M365, one of the most popular scooters, reaches 24 kmh in 6.3 seconds. The scooter lacks a zero-start feature, meaning you must kick it up to about 3 kmh before the motor activates.ĭuring our acceleration tests (74 kg rider on flat ground), the GXL V2 hit its top speed of 26 kmh in 10.0 seconds. At this price, motors do not typically exceed 250-watts.
The GXL Commuter V2 is powered by a 250-watt brushless DC motor that allows decent acceleration. Results below are based on our independent performance testing and not data provided by the manufacturer.
