GOTRAX Traveler

What the GOTRAX Traveler is built for

The GOTRAX Traveler is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 500 W motor and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a 480 Wh removable battery and a stated range of up to 31 miles (50 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The GOTRAX Traveler weighs 49 lb (22.4 kg), carries up to 265 lb (120 kg) including the rider and has front suspension.

In the United States the GOTRAX Traveler sells for $999, below the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the more affordable models. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the GOTRAX Traveler may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 500 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 20 mph (32 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

GOTRAX Traveler safety certification

The brand states that the GOTRAX Traveler is certified to UL 2272.

UL 2272 is the US safety standard for the electrical system of personal e-mobility devices such as electric scooters.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
