What reviewers say about the Gotrax GMAX Ultra
Across 2 testing outlets, the Gotrax GMax Ultra comes across as a competent but unexceptional step-up scooter: both testers found the ride comfortable despite no suspension, and one praised its uphill performance, but the higher price relative to the cheaper Gotrax G4 was seen as hard to justify. One outlet's real-world range testing also came in well short of the advertised figure.

Tested by Android Authority, Electric Scooter Insider
Consistently praised
- Comfortable, smooth ride quality despite having no suspension, aided by chunky shock-resistant tires and a spacious deck
- Strong uphill performance, maintaining 14-16 mph on inclines, an improvement over the predecessor G4
Commonly flagged
- Higher price isn't matched by substantial improvements over the cheaper G4 beyond a bigger battery and new paint job
- Interface issues noted during testing
- Real-world tested range fell far short of the advertised range (24 miles actual vs. 45 miles claimed)
Where reviewers disagree The two outlets report very different range figures for the scooter: Android Authority cites a 42-mile max range as spec without contesting it, while Electric Scooter Insider's real-world testing measured only 24 miles against a 45-mile advertised claim, highlighting a gap between marketed and tested range.

Max range: 42 miles · Max speed: 20 mph · Weight: 47lbs · Charge time: 6 hours · Price: $799
Despite a few interface issues and a higher price tag, the Gmax Ultra presents a solid option for those who need to cover longer distances and appreciate enhanced security features.
During my testing, I noticed that the Gmax Ultra performed better than the G4 uphill, maintaining 14-16mph speeds.
For the higher price tag, the Gmax Ultra doesn't offer substantial improvements over the G4 beyond the bigger battery and a new paint job.
Max range (advertised): 45 miles · Real-world range: 24 miles · Braking distance from 15 mph: 5.3 meters · Weight: 46.3 lbs · Charge time: 4-5 hours · Motor: 36V 350W
The GMAX Ultra offers good ride quality for a scooter with no suspension.
The chunky, shock-resistant tires do a lot of keeping the ride smooth, and the deck is spacious enough for you to stand comfortably.
From a speed of 15 mph, the braking system can bring you to stop in 5.3 meters.
