Introduction

Go to step 1

This is the simplest and easiest way to remove and install a new battery in your Gotrax GXL Scooter. Only tools required are the 4mm Allen wrench and a set of pliers.

  1.

    • Using the 4mm Allen wrench, remove the two screws and locking hook that are used to secure console to the tiller. Store the screws and hook in a safe location for later use.

  2. Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Disconnect brake cable (Handbrake Edition Only): step 2, image 1 of 3 Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Disconnect brake cable (Handbrake Edition Only): step 2, image 2 of 3 Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Disconnect brake cable (Handbrake Edition Only): step 2, image 3 of 3
    • If the unit has a brake cable running to the hand brake, you will need to disconnect the line before proceeding. Set the line out of the way once disconnected.

    How did you get that much slack in your break cable. I cannot pull mine out by hand or sometimes barely can. I've been managing with pliers but I'm ripping apart the casing of the cable.

    • Remove the console/head unit from the scooter by putting one foot on the scooters base and lifting up on the handlebars.

    • Tip: Try to lift as straight as possible out of the tiller. Use caution as extreme force may damage your scooter console or battery connections.

    • Using caution, grab the top of the battery and begin to lift it out of the tiller. As you can see here I was able to do it with my fingers. If you can not grip the top with your fingers use a pair of pliers to assist you. Set the battery to the side for disposal. (Be sure to follow local laws and regulations when disposing lithium ion batteries)

  5. Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Check the connections: step 5, image 1 of 2 Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Check the connections: step 5, image 2 of 2
    • While the battery is out, it is a great time to check the connections at the bottom of the tiller. Look down the tiller and ensure the pins are grouped together tightly and free of arching or debris. (If you see an issue, please stop and consult a technician before proceeding.)

  6. Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Install the battery pack: step 6, image 1 of 2 Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Install the battery pack: step 6, image 2 of 2
    • Grab the new battery pack and ensure that your are installing the battery pack correctly. There is a groove at the bottom of the battery that must align with the motor adapter in order to supply power to the motor. Once you ensure the position is correct, gently slide the pack into the tiller.

  7. Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Reinstall the Console/Head unit: step 7, image 1 of 1
    • Reattach the console/head unit by sliding it back into place. Make sure the thread part of the console aligns with the drilled holes for the locking hook and gently press down to ensure the console is secure on the battery.

    • If it is hard to install, stop and inspect the consoles pins under the head unit. If damaged do not proceed.

  8. Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Reconnect the brake line (Handbrake Edition): step 8, image 1 of 2 Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Reconnect the brake line (Handbrake Edition): step 8, image 2 of 2
    • If the unit has the handbrake, now is the time to reinstall the brake line to the hand brake.

  9. Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Reinstall the locking hook: step 9, image 1 of 2 Gotrax GXL Scooter Battery Pack Replacement, Reinstall the locking hook: step 9, image 2 of 2
    • Install the locking hook and the two screws into the head unit. Tighten the screws firmly. Now you are finished and ready to test your work. Power on your scooter and take it for a test drive.

Conclusion

If you run into any issues I recommend reaching out the customer service/ technical support for further assistance.

When I charge my scooter, it says only half charged.

I try to ride it and it goes a short distance and shuts off and won’t turn back on until I plug it back in!

Your current battery isn't strong enough to power the motor with you on it. You need to go to the gotrax parts store and order a replacement. My old battery was always full, stopped when I tried to use it, and wouldn't turn on until I plugged in the charger. I've had my gxlv2 since 2021 and my new battery just shipped out today. This my first time to replace it.

Hi I am from Wisconsin and just bought the Emerge. We have charged the battery to make sure the bike works. Do we need to keep the battery charged through the winter if we are not riding the bike. Thanks
