GoTrax G4: Everything You Need to Know
The GoTrax G4 is a folding budget scooter, not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The cart showed Original at $439 and Pro colors at $449: 20 mph, 25 miles, and a “500W avg” motor. A 2020 GoTrax post said 350W.

The short answer
The GoTrax G4 is a folding budget kick scooter, not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The US page sells Original at $439 and Pro colors at $449: 20 mph, up to 25 miles, and a motor tile that says 500 watts average. A 2020 GoTrax post says 350 watts and a 36-volt 10.4 amp-hour pack, which is 374.4 watt-hours. The same product page also prints a 28-inch bicycle wheel.
The GoTrax G4 is a folding budget kick scooter, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike. The US product page, in this crawl, sells three styles on that URL: G4 Original at $439, and G4 Pro in red and in cyan at $449, against a $649 regular price on the sale tile. The tiles say up to 25 miles, 20 mph, a 500-watt average motor, 10-inch tires, a built-in tiller lock, and certification in accordance with UL 2272. The same page’s specification block also prints a 28-inch wheel, a chainstay, a standover height, and a seat. That is a bicycle size chart sitting under a scooter model name. A GoTrax news post from 2020, still on the site, specs this model as a 350-watt motor and a 36-volt 10.4 amp-hour pack, with a charge of four to five hours. The spare-battery page still sells a 36V 10.4Ah pack for the G4 at $199. Thirty-six times 10.4 is 374.4 watt-hours. The product tiles do not print that number. The row on this desk’s list links here.
The cart, the 350-watt post, and a bicycle chart
GoTrax’s current product page, GoTrax’s 2020 G4 post, the spare-battery page, Rider Guide’s ridefinder price-checked Sept. 24, 2026, Electric Scooter Insider’s 2021 review, and TechGearLab’s measurement.
| Current GoTrax page | The other print | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Original $439. Pro red and Pro cyan $449. Sale tile: $449 against $649 regular. | Rider Guide, Sept. 24, 2026: MSRP $459, buy price $439. ESI’s 2021 review was $549, later shown at $349. The cart is the price. |
| Speed | 20 mph. | TechGearLab measured 19.8 mph. ESI’s review also printed 20 as the claim, and about 12 seconds from a stop. |
| Range | Up to 25 miles. No rider weight on the tile. | TechGearLab measured 22 miles. The 2020 post ties the 25-mile line to a four-to-five-hour charge. The current tiles do not print a charge time. |
| Motor | “500W Avg.” The page does not print a nominal and a peak. | 2020 GoTrax post: 350 watts. Rider Guide and TechGearLab: 350W continuous, 500W peak. Do not decide the word “average” means peak. |
| Battery | Not in watt-hours on the tiles. | 2020 post and the $199 spare: 36V 10.4Ah. That is 374.4 watt-hours. Rider Guide prints 374.4Wh. |
| Weight | Not on the product tiles. | ESI 2021: 36 lb. Rider Guide: 37 lb. TechGearLab’s scale: 37.8 lb. Do not average them into 37. |
| Chassis | 10-inch tires. Folding frame. Built-in tiller lock. UL 2272. The spec block also prints a 28-inch wheel, chainstay 19 inches, standover 33, and a seat from 28 to 38. That chart is not this scooter. | The product description says the Pro trim adds front suspension. ESI: pneumatic inner tubes, a mechanical disc plus electronic brake, IP54, 15 degrees, 220 lb max. Rider Guide printed IPX4, tubed tires, and an empty brake field. |
Five hundred watts “average” and 350 watts nominal are not the same sentence. GoTrax has printed both, five years apart, and the databases picked the split: 350 continuous, 500 peak. This desk will not launder that into one motor. The 28-inch wheel is the tell that the specification block was pasted from a bicycle. The tire tile above it says 10 inches. Believe the tire tile, and do not shop a seat height for a kick scooter. Thirty-six pounds, 37, and 37.8 are three scales. The product page still does not pick one. IP54 and IPX4 are two ratings from two reviews. Neither is on the current tile.
A 20 mph kick scooter with a tiller lock is not Class 2. UL 2272 is the fire standard. It does not fix a specification block that thinks this scooter has a chainstay.
Who it is for
Buy the Original if $439 is the budget and you read the tire tile, not the bicycle chart. Buy a Pro color only if the front suspension is the difference you came for, and the photo matches that trim. Skip it if you needed a named watt-hour test with a rider weight. The Segway E3 Pro is the other polished commuter near this money, at $599.99 on Segway’s US store, with Find My and a weight Segway does print. The KQi2 Pro is the small NIU at $479 sold out, 17.4 mph, 365 watt-hours, and a US card that at least agrees with itself on the pack. The Max G3 is the scooter this desk put first when the job is every weekday, not the cheapest folder.
It fails the class chart. No pedals. Three hundred seventy-four watt-hours divided by 25 miles is about 15 watt-hours a mile. That is the claim. TechGearLab’s 22 miles is about 17. The watt-hour page is the arithmetic. The spare pack is $199 and final sale. Confirm the detachable underside before you order a battery from a chart that also thinks the scooter has a top tube.
Questions people ask
How much is the GoTrax G4?+
This crawl: Original $439, Pro red and Pro cyan $449, and a sale tile at $449 against $649. Rider Guide, on Sept. 24, 2026, printed an MSRP of $459 and a buy price of $439.
Is the motor 350 watts or 500?+
The current tile says 500 watts average. A 2020 GoTrax post says 350 watts. Rider Guide and TechGearLab print 350 continuous and 500 peak. Do not collapse those into one number.
How much does it weigh?+
The product tiles do not say. ESI’s 2021 review says 36 pounds. Rider Guide says 37. TechGearLab’s scale says 37.8. The page does print a 28-inch wheel, which is a bicycle chart, not a weight.
Is it a Class 2 e-bike?+
No. It is a kick scooter. Twenty miles an hour and a tiller lock do not create pedals. UL 2272 on the tile is a fire standard, not a bicycle class.
