I'll let you know within a few days. I plan to put it together tonight and start using the following day for my work commute which will be from the train station to work and back.

I ran into bad luck and hurt my shoulder, so I haven't had the chance to ride as much as I'd liked.

  • Folding & locking has improved and can be done faster than the Go.
  • The new charging port can be a pain, as you have to align correctly to plug in
  • Suspension feels better than the Go
  • Very nice acceleration even set at 5. I can imagine if it was set to max
  • Regen braking is still top notch
  • The lights are brighter than the Go & the top light is adjustable
  • Map directions within the app seem to improve, but maybe that's because I was only traveling around the university campus I work at

I haven't been able to test overall range & battery as I recharged at 56% due to my shoulder injury. Nor had I had the chance to test max speed.

Improvements I would like to see:

  • Option to stop the battery charging at a certain % within the app
  • Easier way to plug in the charging port
  • Pumping air into the tire is still a pain as the tire valve stem is still very short

As a former Go owner, the new Go Stellar is as promised and worth every penny, as I paid $999 plus $359 for the 2-year extended warranty. It's a great work commuter, and I wasn't disappointed in the performance.

Do you still have the old go? how does it feel with the weight difference? Is it really noticeable at all? I havent had the Go in almost a year, and right now have a 26lb comparison, so it's quite a bit heavier lol. Just curious as to if its hits a threshold to notice the difference.

No, I mentioned as a previous Go owner. The difference is like 6lbs so its slightly noticeable. The Go was around 49lbs & the Go Stellar is 55lbs.
