When to buy the GoTrax G4?
Consider the G4 if you want a lighter, more portable scooter that’s easier to maintain.
I also believe that the braking experience with the G4 is slightly better.
When to buy the GoTrax G5?
Even though the G5 is not insanely better than the G4, it still has a few small but noteable advantages, most importantly in terms of range, weight limit, and suspension.
