Our take on the GOTRAX Apex Folding Electric Scooter

The GOTRAX Apex is an adult folding electric scooter with 8.5-inch air-filled tires, a 250W-class motor and a rated range of up to 15 miles per charge. It folds in one step for storage and carries an LED display, a headlight and taillight, and rear disc braking with EABS anti-lock assist. It suits short commutes and errand runs on mixed pavement. Against rivals in its class it trades a higher top speed and longer range for a heavier, bulkier frame and simpler controls. Owners rate it 4.3 out of 5, praising the ride and folding, with some complaints about range falling short and tire upkeep.
