๐๏ธ Hill Climbing
The rear-mounted 500W motor is positioned to improve traction during acceleration and hill climbs. GOTRAX specifically describes the rear-wheel configuration as improving starting acceleration and hill-climbing ability.
However, GOTRAX does not publish a specific maximum hill grade percentage for the GMAX Ultra, so no unsupported climbing percentage is claimed here.
๐ Terrain
The GMAX Ultra is best suited to:
-
City streets

Paved roads

Urban commuting
