How to Fold Your GoTrax Electric Scooter: A Step-by-Step Guide

Folding your GoTrax electric scooter is an easy process, but it's crucial to follow the steps correctly to ensure safety and durability. Here's a detailed guide to help you out:

Step 1: Power Off Your Scooter

Before you begin, make sure your GoTrax electric scooter is powered off. This ensures that no accidental accelerations occur while you're folding it.

Step 2: Locate the Folding Mechanism

The folding mechanism on GoTrax scooters is typically found near the base of the steering column. Look for a latch or a lever that controls the folding function.

Step 3: Release the Lock

Operate the latch or lever to release the lock. This action allows the steering column to collapse, folding the scooter in half.

Step 4: Fold the Scooter

Once the lock is released, gently push the handlebar down towards the deck. Secure it by ensuring the latch or hook catches and locks the folded position.

Step 5: Secure the Folded Scooter

Some models come with an additional locking mechanism or strap to keep the scooter folded securely. Engage this secondary lock to prevent the scooter from unfolding while transporting.

Step 6: Transport or Store the Scooter

Your GoTrax electric scooter is now folded and ready for easy transportation or storage. Use the handlebar to carry the folded scooter or place it in a secure location.

Tips and Warnings

• Double-check that all locking mechanisms are secure before lifting or carrying the folded scooter.


• Avoid forcing the handlebar down if you encounter resistance; reassess the locking mechanism first.

By following these steps, you can quickly and safely fold your GoTrax electric scooter, making it convenient to carry or store.
