Gotrax G3 Max
No citable customer rating — see how we compare.
19.6 mi estimated · 37 mi claimed
The claim is 1.9× the estimate. How this is worked out.
A pack bigger than the G4's in a scooter that weighs the same. The G3 Max has a 48 V, 10.2 Ah LG battery, 489.6 Wh, in a 37 lb frame, and a 37-mile claim. Top speed is a modest 17 mph, so this is a scooter that trades pace for distance. Gotrax lists the motor at 500 W average while ERideHero and Rider Guide give 350 W for the rear hub, so treat the power figure as soft. The rider limit is 264 lb, tires are 10-inch tubed pneumatics, the only brake is a mechanical rear disc and there is no suspension or rated waterproofing. At $489 it has 116 Wh more than the G4 at $449 and gives up three miles an hour. Reviewers call the claim adequate for a daily commute under ten miles each way.
