When you hop on the GoTrax Mustang electric bike, a sudden rush of adrenaline may course through your veins as it transforms into an electrifying experience that feels more akin to a high-octane dirt bike than your typical ebike. Standing tall and proud outside my garage like the iconic Wheeler from 'Stranger Things,' this 750-watt motor beast is ready for action.
As soon as you fire up the kickstand, its robust frame comes into view - sporting aggressive styling reminiscent of old-school BMX bikes. Rest assured however that beneath that rugged appearance lies a surprisingly agile and easy-to-handle ride. Its short wheelbase proves to be an ace card in terms of maneuverability.
Upon kicking off the bike's stand and getting underway, you'd almost forget this isn't actually an ebike built like its contemporaries - save for one crucial difference: instead of traditional pedals, it employs electric assistance to power its incredible 90 Newton meters of torque.
Torque is a critical component to consider when evaluating the capabilities of any motorized vehicle. With that in mind, rest assured that at 6'4" and 255 pounds, I can confidently assert that the GoTrax Mustang delivers well beyond my expectations - effortlessly navigating hilly terrain that would have been an arduous challenge for many ebikes.
At its heart lies a powerful 48-volt LG battery capable of delivering up to 86 miles per charge. That being said, actual results could vary based on the rider's mode selections and personal pace - I managed around 28 miles, thanks largely to constant switching between power modes plus throttle-assisted cruising.
An interesting aspect worth noting is that the bike does come with a unique setting intended for walking the vehicle when parked - an apt feature considering its generous width at 4 inches. As well, the front LED light serves as both functional illumination and stylish flair during those long winter nights when daylight hours are limited.
A major letdown however is the Mustang's frame size limitations: featuring only one adjustable seat design option which proves ill-suited to my tall stature. GoTrax could have at least offered a more diverse range of sizes for riders with different needs, unfortunately, this bike isn't really tailored towards accommodating people beyond the 5'9" and 5'10" mark.
Ultimately though, it does make for an affordable ebike.

!! i rode it on a hilly terrain n i was like "how is dis possibl?" 
the go trax mustang is def one of those bikes that will get ur adrenaline pumpin' 
but gotta say, the frame size limitations r kinda whack 
cant they make it 4 different sizes or wut? 
still, its pretty cool n all, esp since u can customize ur own speed n stuff 
48-volt LG battery = major win! 
! The adrenaline rush is real when you hop on this thing - it feels like a high-octane dirt bike, but without the dirt part 
. The design is straight out of an old-school BMX bike, which I am HERE. FOR 
.
. Of course, my ride was only 28 miles (I was trying to conserve battery life), but still, it felt like I was flying 
.
. It's affordable, it's fun, and it's got some serious style 
.
. btw, 28 miles on a full charge is pretty average, i got 35 with my ebike and its way more efficient 
! In the US alone, over 2 million e-bikes were sold in 2024, with a growth rate of 25% YoY 
. On YouTube, there are over 5 million subscribers to e-bike channels, with views exceeding 100M+ per month 
. GoTrax Mustang is definitely catering to this growing market 
! Stats: E-bike sales growth (2020-2024): 45% YoY 
.
. And the battery life isn't bad either, I got around 28 miles out of it, which is decent for a bike in its class 
.
. It's like they expected every rider to be around 5'9" and 5'10" - not ideal.
. And man, this thing is quick 
- the electric assistance really takes it to the next level. I've had a blast cruising around my neighborhood with it.
. The short wheelbase makes it super agile and easy to maneuver, which was a major plus for me since I'm 6'4" and can be a bit of a handful on some bikes 
.
.
. The battery life could be better (I got around 28 miles on my ride), but overall, it's a solid choice for those who want an affordable e-bike that can handle some rough terrain.
. Still, if you're looking for a reliable and fun e-bike that won't break the bank, the GoTrax Mustang is worth checking out 
! The adrenaline rush when you first start pedaling is insane! You feel like a total boss, cruising around with that 750-watt motor pushing you forward. And don't let the old-school BMX look fool you - this thing is super agile and easy to handle.
. I mean, who says you're only good for hills if you're over 6'4"? That's like saying a sedan can't handle off-road terrain just 'cause it's not a truck 
.
️. And with its electric assistance and torque, I can see why this bike feels more like a high-octane dirt bike than your typical ebike 
! But honestly, it's kinda cool how these new models are getting more aggressive styling - it's like they're trying to be motorcycles in disguise 
. The fact that this GoTrax Mustang can handle hills and stuff is a major win for me, especially since I'm always looking for ways to get some exercise. But at the same time, I feel bad for riders who are taller than 5'10" - it's like they're stuck with bikes that aren't made for them 
. Still, if you're on a budget and want something that can get you around town without breaking the bank, this might be worth checking out 
. But hey, at least it's affordable! 
. The design is rad, it's all rugged and BMX-inspired 
and that LED light is lit 
. My only gripe is the adjustable seat option - they should offer more sizes for riders with different needs 
. But overall, it's a great ebike at an affordable price 
. I mean, come on GoTrax, offer some more options for taller riders like me 
.
