What is cruise control?
Cruise control lets a rider lock in a steady speed and release the throttle, with the motor holding that pace until the brake or throttle is touched again. It reduces thumb and wrist fatigue on long, straight stretches and helps hold a consistent speed — though it's of little use in stop-and-go traffic where you're constantly adjusting.
What does this mean for riders?
The Gotrax Eclipse includes cruise control. Among 213 comparable scooters, 77% share this feature — a common feature in this class.
The Gotrax Eclipse comes equipped with cruise control. In a class where most scooters leave you holding the throttle for every mile, the Eclipse sits above the category average by offering hands-free speed maintenance.
Cruise control takes the edge off long, straight stretches and urban commutes alike. Instead of gripping the throttle continuously, riders can lock in their pace and enjoy a smoother, more relaxed ride without constant input.
This feature is especially welcome for anyone prone to wrist or hand fatigue, as well as for commuters who value comfort over constant throttle adjustments. By including cruise control where many rivals do not, the Eclipse caters to those seeking extra convenience and a less demanding ride experience.

Frequently Asked Questions — Gotrax Eclipse
Cruise control on an electric scooter is a feature that maintains a constant speed without continuous throttle input. Once activated—usually with a button press or throttle tap—it holds your selected pace automatically. This reduces wrist strain, smooths out power delivery and can improve efficiency by avoiding frequent acceleration and deceleration cycles.
While cruise control maintains speed more steadily, it can either conserve or slightly increase battery use depending on conditions. By avoiding erratic throttle surges, riders often see up to 10% better range on flat roads. However, holding maximum speed with cruise mode still draws more current than cruising at lower setpoints, so moderate speeds yield the best efficiency.
Out of 183 models we’ve analyzed, notable scooters with cruise control include the Ausom F1 Max, Vmax VX2 Pro LT, Ausom L2, Gotrax G7 Pro and Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Lite. Look for the ‘cruise’ icon or check the specs—manufacturers typically list cruise control under convenience or ride modes in their feature descriptions.
