GOTRAX
GOTRAX XR Ultra
The best ultra-budget scooter — a foldable commuter with 17-mile range for under $350.
Our Review
The GOTRAX XR Ultra is the cheapest electric scooter worth buying for daily use. Its 300W motor reaches 15.5 mph, and the 187Wh battery provides up to 17 miles of range — enough for short commutes and errands. The 8.5" pneumatic tires provide a smoother ride than solid alternatives, and the foldable design makes it easy to store under a desk or carry onto a bus. At $349, it's the gateway into electric scooter commuting.
