Gotrax Eclipse Ultra: 51.5 km Range Meets Ultra-Portability
The Gotrax Eclipse Ultra redefines lightweight electric scooters with a 51.5 km max range and just 25 kg total weight. Featuring a 750 W motor and 720 Wh battery pack, it hits 32.2 km/h top speed yet folds compactly for easy stashing on buses and trains. While its lack of active suspension yields a comfort score of 1.1, pneumatic tires dampen road vibrations. With a portability score of 5.8 out of 10 on ScooterRank, it’s one of the lightest 50 km+ scooters in its class, outperforming the category average by about 5 kg. Perfect for professionals hopping between meetings or students navigating campuses, the Eclipse Ultra excels in scenario-based versatility without sacrificing speed or endurance.
Real-World Range and Performance
Although the Gotrax Eclipse Ultra claims a maximum 51.5 km range, real-world conditions—rider weight, terrain, speed and stop-and-go traffic—often limit riders to around 40–45 km per charge. On flats at moderate speeds (20 km/h) you’ll approach the higher end; tackling hills of 10–15 % cuts range by up to 20 %, bringing it closer to 35 km. The 720 Wh battery, paired with a 750 W motor, balances power and efficiency, but high-speed cruising at 32.2 km/h or carrying passengers further reduces mileage. For daily commuters covering 20–25 km round trips, the Eclipse Ultra still delivers reliable, all-day performance.
Portability vs Comfort: What to Expect
At just 25 kg with a quick-release folding mechanism, the Eclipse Ultra earns a portability score of 5.8—about 5 kg lighter than the 50 km+ scooter average. This makes carrying onto public transit or up apartment stairs manageable for most users. However, its lack of suspension results in a comfort score of 1.1; pneumatic 8.5″ tires absorb minor road cracks but transmit sharp vibrations on rough asphalt. Riders frequently add aftermarket suspension stems or cushioned deck mats to compensate. If effortless transport is your priority and you’re willing to customize for a smoother ride, this scooter strikes a solid balance.
