Compare the GOTRAX Xr and the Unagi Model One (E500)

Electric scooters are fast becoming a popular choice for quick, convenient transportation. Among the many options available, the GOTRAX Xr and the Unagi Model One (E500) are two worthy contenders. The GOTRAX Xr prides itself on its affordability and performance. It boasts a maximum speed of 15.5 mph and can travel 12 miles on a single charge. Furthermore, it comes with 8.5 pneumatic tires for maximum shock absorption and is equipped with dual braking system which offers riders a strong, reliable stopping power. However, its heavier weight (about 27.5 pounds) makes it somewhat less portable. On the other side, Unagi Model One (E500) positions itself as a stylish, high-end option with a focus on design and portability. It has a similar top speed of 15.5 mph, but it can cover nearly double the distance (up to 22 miles) on a single charge. It is also significantly lighter at just 26.5 pounds, and it has a unique one-click folding system for easy transportation. However, this model is considerably more expensive. So, the choice between these two scooters depends on what you prioritize: If you are cost-sensitive and can sacrifice some portability, the GOTRAX Xr is an excellent choice. If you value design, range and portability, and don’t mind paying more, the Unagi Model One (E500) is the way to go.
