I wear a headstrap under my helmet with a GoPro Hero 10 attached, or it's clipped to my sternum strap on my backpack

No I haven't, but I imagine you could attach one pretty easily inside the stem or behind the plastic stem near the front of the board.

Don't have experience with those but that sounds nice. I've found leaving it unplugged until I'm charging the scooter has fixed things, but it's weird I can't just leave it plugged.

@@lurkchannel Leaving it can over-heat the adapter, damaging it and even the battery. It was also known to cause fire on rarer occasions.

Around 10 miles. See here ruclips.net/video/EBieK4Shn_s/видео.html

@@lurkchannel how much u weigh

Thanks! I'm not sure, this is the only escooter I've owned, but I would imagine maintaining brakes is just a thing on all of them.

should be all zeros at default

Do you know how to change it and or remove the factory passcode

handling is good, I have not felt like it's going to buckle or destabilize on me. turns are fine, but depends on how you take them, there is a bit of a skater technique where leaning in with your feet can let you take corners faster and tighter, but that's on all scooters.

I'm around 180 pounds

Nah I haven't felt the need to adjust them

Yea I agree that the specs being advertised for distance are presented in such a way that it looks like it can go that far at max speed, but it's actually under ideal circumstances on a flat ground on the lowest gear. I shot a video testing that very thing to see just how far the GX1 can go on max settings, and it got to around 9-10 miles, so roughly 16km. You could have looked at the GX2 or GX3 which have larger batteries, but are more expensive, or you can bring the charger and charge it while you work, assuming you have space to do that. I can totally understand returning it after that experience though. Hope the ebike fits your needs better!

What speed mode was it on?

Yeah, you need to check they methodology for arriving at the range. Typically it is for some who is 165lbs and you need to drive in Eco mode or slower. Whatever range a scooter says, cut it in half to determine range at max speed.

Recently ordered a full face helmet while I try to find a good dirt path to ride on. Still looking into other gear though

@@lurkchannel Smart. These things fly. Just got my GX1 yesterday

I'm around 180 pounds

Glad you're okay! And good advise. I've been cut off a few times but thankfully nothing that's caused me to fall. But I have had to just stop completely at times, or give a car a lot of space, kinda like that Subaru in this video.

thank you! you might be right about the brake itself warping the disc, I'm going to check if a bike shop might be able to help me straighten it. I didn't reach out to GOTRAX about the stem or charger, but they've been good on the two replacement kickstands, just waiting on the next one to arrive.

@@lurkchannel hey, I have a solution for the brakes pulling on the disc and causing it to warp! I only found out because I was just riding in town when my back brake made a pop sound and I lost all my rear stopping power.. so, while the caliper is stationary, the inside break pad needs to be as close to the disc as possible because that's the one that doesn't move when you apply the breaks. Mine was pretty far off straight from the factory. Anyways, take the caliper off by undoing the two bolts that hold it on the frame. On the inner side of the caliper there's a hex bolt, tightening it will bring the inside break pad in more. I turned mine a 1/2 turn. Then reinstall the caliper and tighten it down so that inside pad is almost touching the disc. Then use the cable adjustment to get the outside pad where it needs to be. I don't know if drum breaks are any better but I've had enough of these GX1 breaks already lol. I'm at 200 miles on this scoot.. anyways, hope this helps!

@@kyleb4327 Solid explanation. I didn't want to have to take the entire caliper off but I see the hex you mentioned for moving that inner piece around. I seem to have it in a good place at the moment, but I'll try adjusting it like that next time.

@@lurkchannel hey, I also figured out a fix for the stem issue. Mine got lose and by over tightening it I briefly had the same issue. When you collapse the stem there's a hex bolt under there where the wires go thru the stem. Mine was lose so I tightened that hex. If it's too tight though it becomes hard to latch and unlatch when upright.

@@lurkchannel also, it has deleted every reply about the brakes.. look up TRP Spyre caliper's. They fit perfectly and they're awesome dual piston calipers that make this scoot feel premium all the way around.

I use a GoPro Hero10

jeez, hope they're figuring that out for you under warranty

I'm using a GoPro Hero10 attached to a generic head strap I got off amazon. I switch between the head strap and a clip that I can attach to the sternum-strap on my backpack.

For sure, I'm on the lookout for more off-road areas I can try out

I've done lots of tests on my gx1 and I can confirm the only way someone is getting within 5 miles of the max 25 mile range would be in the lowest (15 mph) mode without turbo turned on. But, I will say, if you only go riding 10 miles a day as a hobby, this thing is a beast. The breaks squeak non stop but besides that I'm pretty happy with mine as it was in the upper end of my budget.

it iz too a round number

@@user-yu7ue5gz5d oh ok

Yep, almost all distance ratings are under ideal conditions on flat ground with a 165lb rider and in the lowest power setting. Some of the very high end scooters will give estimates based on power settings but it's very uncommon currently.

I still need to see just how far I can push the GX1 witht he right combination of settings. I did test it going as fast as it can go from full battery to quit in this video ruclips.net/video/EBieK4Shn_s/видео.html

Honestly not sure, not models I've had the opportunity to try out.

Lol fair! I think holding off on the power mode will help in that regard. I really like hitting 30 so I might be looking into another model at some point in the future. Preferably something lighter if possible.

@@lurkchannel lol just use your car and pace yourself at 30 mph for a while and you'll realize 30 mph is actually a rather dangerous speed when hopping in and out of traffic with cars. It's not slow like 20 mph where cars can maneuver around you, but just fast enough where cars begin to think you got speed and they hug your ass. If you wanna sit in traffic for longer than two stop lights at a time you need a 40 mph scooter. I was actually chatting with one of those guys who does those Gotrax commercials and he was showing me melted controllers from ppl who use their top speed as their average speed.

@@tayh3168 I never knew that. So you suggest with a 35 mph scooter you should go about 30 mph at most?

​@@tayh3168what if you put this scooter in the medium (21mph) setting and run it at 21mph for most of the ride? Is that the same thing? Or do you mean the scooters overall top speed? I have a gx1 and I normally put it in the middle mode and ride at 21mph which is maxed out in that mode..

​@@kyleb4327 I usually just ride around 80% of the top speed for whatever gear I'm in.

Nice, had not heard of that brand before but it looks robust. I like that they list how they achieved that 55 mile range

15ah small

@@Guardhousetv Yea 48v 15ah, running dual 600w motors

wish they at least did 18ah. its a beautiful scooter@@lurkchannel

Baltimore, forget where specifically. (For some reason your comment only recently popped up as new for me, sorry about that)

@@lurkchannel thanx for answer

😢

Even better, How long does your scooter last?

@aidanscracked831 Suppose to be q8. I get 6. 6'2" 220, though. Need to buy one my size.

Interesting about the USB hub, but honestly I haven't used mine at all. I'd rather the scooter use the battery.

@@lurkchannel yeah, not a big deal. Would've been nice in a pinch, or to do updates if there was a way.. seems that's not possible now.

@@kyleb4327 any reason why they did

@@bsmokez nope.

No you can definitely go slower. There are three gears you can switch from, M D and S. I know S is sports mode as its what I usually use and goes the max speed. The others I believe limit to 15 and 20 mph? Then there is a power mode which you can activate on any gear for added traction.

Thanks for the kind words! First, yes. This is with sports mode on and the double-blinking wheel power mode on. Second, I can look to do that. Their website claims a 25 mile range for the GX1, so it would be nice to see how true that is for my specific unit. And thanks for the tip, I usually try and keep it out of parking mode while waiting but that would make it easier lol

@@lurkchannel ok cool. Good to know! The other channel said it'll still get to 30mph in sport mode but the blinking wheel light just adds more acceleration power which probably eats the battery a lot more. You'd think that gotrax would put out an instructional video on their own going over all the features and benefits of their flagship scooters! It's very odd that they don't lol. But here you are, selling the gx lineup thru your RUclips videos. You need an affiliate link! I'd try to get one thru Target because that's where I bought mine for a few reasons. One I was able to sign up for red circle and get a 10% off store wide coupon making the gx1 $899. And secondly, Target accepts online returns in store for 90 days after the purchase date! That's a pretty insurance plan in case the unit is defective imo. Anywho, very cool videos. And thanks for the response! Keep at it! I've watched this one twice already lol. It wasn't until the second time around I noticed your curb hop. That was pretty sweet, the scooter didn't rattle or anything.

I just got the GX2 it's pretty much the same as this just 5mph faster and bigger battery. I can go 22miles at 35mph and 30miles in level 2 about 27mph

@@blue408c6 ok Cool. So a lower level seems to give you more range. Good to know! That actually sounds like it's worth the extra $300.. question though, did you put the blinking wheel turbo mode on when you went 22 miles at 36mph, or just sport mode without turbo?

@@blue408c6 because I have a feeling that turbo mode eats the battery

I'm filming around 4pm here, so closer to evening than you might think! The GX1 has good lighting in my opinion; a strong headlight that is partially adjustable, illumination on the neck and the bottom sides of the board, and a brake light on the back. My only tip, or at least my experience has been, that I use the bell a lot more at night to help people notice me as I go to pass. I'll eventually get around to filming some night rides, it's just been really cold up until recently lol

@@lurkchannel Thank you for the tip. I might have to upgrade my bell if I use it as much as night. Most of my evening rides are from a train to my home about 3 miles away.

No not at all. It's a very thick neck. It's actually sometimes hard to get the thing to come down off the latch.
