When to buy the GoTrax G4?

There is a slight difference in classes between these scooters, which means that naturally, the GoTrax G4 will be cheaper.

Interestingly enough, however, I believe its brakes are also a bit better, and it’s also more portable and easier to maintain.

When to buy the GoTrax GMax Ultra?

The GoTrax GMax Ultra is simply the bigger, better scooter in this case.

While it is a bit more expensive, it also has a lot more range, climbs better, and has a sturdier build quality.
