🛞 10-Inch Pneumatic Tires
The G6 uses 10-inch pneumatic tires designed to absorb road imperfections.
The larger pneumatic tires work together with the suspension to make everyday pavement, cracks, and small bumps more manageable.
Tire size: 10 inches
🛠️ Dual Front Suspension
The G6 features a dual front-wheel suspension system.
That suspension is designed to help absorb bumps, cracks, and potholes encountered during everyday urban riding.
🛑 Front & Rear Braking
The G6 provides braking at both the front and rear wheels, giving riders braking control from both ends of the scooter.
GOTRAX's current product page does not specify the exact brake mechanism in its technical specification section, so the brake type should not be represented as a specific disc, drum, or regenerative system without additional manufacturer documentation.
📟 Digital LED Display
The integrated display provides important ride information including:
-
Current speed
-
Distance
-
Battery level
-
Other riding information
The display also incorporates a digital security-code feature.
🧳 One-Touch Folding Frame
When you reach your destination, the G6 can be folded using its one-touch folding mechanism.
This makes storage easier in apartments, garages, offices, or vehicle storage areas.
🎛️ Cruise Control
The G6 includes cruise control.
According to GOTRAX, cruise control automatically engages after maintaining the same speed for approximately 10 seconds.
To disengage it, tap the thumb throttle or brake.
💡 Reactive Tail Light
The rear red tail light becomes brighter when braking, helping communicate deceleration to people behind you.

-
City streets
-
Pavement
-
Bike paths where legally permitted
-
Sidewalks where legally permitted
-
Parking areas
-
Smooth hard surfaces
-
Everyday urban commuting
Its 10-inch pneumatic tires + dual front suspension are designed to improve comfort over common urban imperfections.
It should not be marketed as a dedicated off-road scooter.
