Comparative Review: GOTRAX GXL Commuter v2 versus GOTRAX Apex Electric Scooters
When it comes to selecting an electric scooter, GOTRAX provides an impressive range of options. Two such choices that stand out are the GOTRAX GXL Commuter v2 and the GOTRAX Apex.
The GXL Commuter v2 bolsters itself as an upgraded version of the classic GXL Commuter, with enhanced features suited for city rides. With a powerful 250W motor, it can reach speeds up to 15.5 mph, and the large 8.5 pneumatic tires provide a smooth, shock-absorbent ride on city roads. It also has a boosted battery life that can cover 12 miles with a single full charge. Its foldable design makes it easy to carry and store, ideal for people on the go.
On the other hand, the GOTRAX Apex is slightly more robust in terms of speed, offering a maximum of 15.5 mph with its 250W motor. It boasts an impressive 14.9-mile range, slightly more than the GXL Commuter v2, making it suitable for longer commutes. The 8.5 air-filled tires deliver a comfortable ride, and its sturdy, foldable frame renders the Apex easily portable and ideal for city commuting too.
In terms of braking system, both models equally feature a responsive dual-braking system. The display and controls are quite similar, allowing easy speed and battery checks. A primary difference lies in their aesthetics where the GXL v2 gives a sleek, professional feel fit for office commutes, while the Apex delivers a more modern sporty look.
To sum up, while both models share similar technical features, the GXL Commuter v2 is best suited for shorter commutes due to its slightly limited range, while the Apex, with its larger range, would be ideal for longer trips.
