When to get the EMove Cruiser S?
I think the EMove Cruiser S wins most of the use cases in this comparison.
Not only is it cheaper, but it’s also lighter, more portable, has better water protection, suspension, brakes, bigger weight limit, and, of course, the legendary EMove Cruiser S range that is pretty much unbeatable in the price category below $2000.
So, generally, I’d recommend going with the EMove Cruiser S in this comparison.
When to get the GoTrax GX2?
The GoTrax G2 has slight advantages in terms of raw performance, especially in speed, but also a bit in acceleration.
In my opinion, it’s not enough to justify the huge price difference.
