GoTrax Apex: Everything You Need to Know
The GoTrax Apex is a folding scooter, not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The US cart showed $320 from $350: 15.5 mph, fifteen and a half miles, “250W avg,” rear motor. Apex Max is a different cart at $399, 18 mph, 350W.

The short answer
The GoTrax Apex row covers three carts. Rear-drive checkout was $320 against $350, with a motor labeled 250 watts average. An opening line says 15 miles. A tile says fifteen and a half miles an hour and repeats that figure as distance. The Max is $399 at 18 mph and 350 watts. A PRO tag was $299. ScooterRank lists 14.5 kilograms and 216 watt-hours.
The GoTrax Apex is a folding budget kick scooter, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike, and it is not the Apex Max. The US Apex page showed a sale price of $320 against a $350 regular price, with the color labeled APEX XL Black. The tiles say up to 15.5 miles, 15.5 mph, a 250-watt average motor, 8.5-inch tires, a folding frame, a 220-pound payload, a one-year warranty, and certification in accordance with UL 2272. The opening sentence says rear-wheel drive, an in-deck battery, and up to 15 miles. The tile above it says fifteen and a half. The feature copy says a 250-watt rear motor and kick-to-start. The page does not print pounds or watt-hours. ScooterRank’s 2026 card prints $320, 14.5 kg, which is 32 pounds, 216 watt-hours, 24.9 km/h, and 24.9 km of range, and calls the rating IPX4. A June 27, 2026 ride that used the Apex name actually tested an Apex Max: 350 watts, 36 volts and 6.0 amp-hours, solid tires, and a rear dual shock. That is the other cart. That separate page is $399 from $440, 18 mph, up to 18 miles, 350 watts, and a 264-pound payload. Apex PRO is a third URL at $299 from $349 with the same tile speed as the $320 Apex. The row on this desk’s list links here.
Three Apex names, and a review that rode that other cart
GoTrax’s Apex page, the Apex Max page, the Apex PRO page, and ScooterRank’s Apex card. The June 27, 2026 ride is listed only so it is not pasted onto this cart.
| Apex, US page | The other print | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $320 sale, $350 regular. Color label: APEX XL Black. | Apex PRO: $299 from $349. Apex Max: $399 from $440. ScooterRank’s Apex card also prints $320. The list’s “about $400” is the higher-speed cart’s neighborhood, not this button. |
| Speed | 15.5 mph. | That other trim’s tile is 18 mph. ScooterRank prints 24.9 km/h and then, in a FAQ, “15 mph.” 24.9 km/h is 15.5. Do not round it down to 15 and call that a second test. |
| Range | Tile: up to 15.5 miles. Opening line: up to 15 miles. | That other trim: up to 18 miles. ScooterRank’s claimed range is 24.9 km, which is fifteen and a half miles, matching the tile and not the “15” sentence. |
| Motor | “250W Avg.” Copy says rear wheel and kick-to-start. | That other trim’s tile says 350W. The June 27, 2026 ride also printed 350W, because that ride was a Max. Do not give the $320 Apex that trim’s motor. |
| Battery | Not on these tiles. | ScooterRank prints 216 watt-hours and does not show the amp-hours on the summary this desk read. Thirty-six times 6 is 216, which is the Max review’s 36V 6.0Ah line. Do not decide the $320 cart and the Max share a pack because a database and a different review multiply to the same 216. |
| Weight | Not on these tiles. | ScooterRank: 14.5 kg, 32 lb, payload about 99.8 kg. That other trim’s payload tile is 264 lb, not 220. The June ride’s scale was also 32 lb, on a Max. |
| Chassis | 8.5-inch tires. Folding. 220 lb. UL 2272. No IP line on the tiles. | ScooterRank: IPX4, regen, no removable battery. That June review printed solid tires and a rear dual shock. The Apex product copy this crawl said air-filled tires on the older product guide, and the cart itself does not print solid versus tube. |
Fifteen miles and fifteen and a half miles are both on the Apex page. That is a half-mile GoTrax did not reconcile. Apex, Apex PRO, and the 350-watt cart are three prices and two speeds. A review headline that says Apex and a spec box that says 350 watts is that separate model until the writer says otherwise. This desk will not launder them into one scooter at “about $400.”
Rear drive and an in-deck battery do not make a bicycle. The Max’s 18 mph tile is a different URL. Read the model line before you read the headline.
Who it is for
Buy the $320 Apex if you want the rear motor and you can live with a page that cannot pick 15 or fifteen and a half. Buy that other cart only if 18 mph and the 264-pound tile are the difference, and the photo matches that trim. Buy the PRO only if $299 is the button and you accept the same tile-speed claim. Skip all three if the job is a tested loop with your weight. The GXL V2 is the front-drive folder at $299, 12.5 miles on the US tile. The GoTrax G4 is the 20 mph cart at $439. The E3 Pro is the Segway at $599.99 that at least prints a watt-hour figure.
It fails the class chart. No pedals. If you use ScooterRank’s 216 watt-hours and the fifteen-and-a-half-mile tile, that is about 14 watt-hours a mile, and it is their pack label, not a number GoTrax printed on this cart. The watt-hour page is the arithmetic. Do not order a Max battery story for an Apex checkout.
Questions people ask
Which range sentence belongs to the $320 button?+
The opening copy says 15 miles. The tile says fifteen and a half miles, with no rider weight beside either sentence. Those two numbers sit on one page and they are not a translation of each other. Do not publish a midpoint. The June 27, 2026 ride this desk found was the faster cart, so that loop does not settle the cheaper button or the PRO.
What did ScooterRank actually weigh and label?+
ScooterRank’s card lists 14.5 kilograms and 216 watt-hours. The shop tiles this crawl did not print either figure. 216 is a database label, not a watt-hour line on the button. Do not move that mass onto the $399 cart just because both names share a family word. A kilogram from a third site stays a third site.
How is the $399 cart a different machine?+
Its button was $399. Its speed line is 18 mph. Its motor line is 350 watts, not the 250-watt average on the cheaper rear-drive cart. Buy it only when the photo matches that trim and the 264-pound payload tile is the difference you wanted. A mismatched photo is a different scooter sitting under a similar headline.
Where does the $299 PRO sit in the family?+
The PRO button was $299 and it still carries the same tile-speed claim as the $320 cart. It is not the 18 mph machine. Skip all three if you needed a ridden loop at your own weight. A 250-watt kick scooter with no pedals fails the class chart even when the pace sits under 20. The watt-hour page is the arithmetic, not a test.
