GoTrax’s Mustang Electric Bike Feels Like a 'Stranger Things' Character
As I gazed at the GoTrax Mustang electric bike, its rugged design immediately reminded me of 1980s off-road racing bikes. But with an imposing size and plenty of heft, this bike is anything but your average moped or e-bike. The kickstand outside my garage seemed to be beckoning me to take it for a spin.
As I climbed on the saddle, I was surprised by how surprisingly nimble the Mustang felt. Despite its large frame, it's remarkably easy to maneuver and balance, thanks in part to its relatively short wheelbase. When I started pedaling, I quickly forgot that this bike is basically built on an moped platform.
But what really sets the Mustang apart is its raw power. The 750-watt motor nestled into the rear hub delivers a staggering 90 newton-meters of torque to the wheel – more than enough to tackle any hill I could think of, including a steep incline near my home that averages a 4% gradient with pitches over 15%.
The bike's battery life is also impressive. According to GoTrax, you can get around 86 miles on a single charge – although, in practice, I managed a more modest 28 miles when riding in hilly terrain and switching power modes frequently.
But the real star of show is the Mustang's control system. A stunning full-color LCD display shows your speed, battery level, pedal assist mode, odometer, and motor usage in real-time – making it easy to monitor your progress and fine-tune your ride.
One thing that didn't quite work as well was the seating arrangement. With a fixed seat that isn't adjustable for height, I struggled to find a comfortable riding position at 6'4". The bench-style saddle, while sturdy, seemed to be designed more for casual cruisers than serious riders.
Despite some growing pains with its one-size-fits-all design, the GoTrax Mustang electric bike is an exhilarating ride that's sure to turn heads. With its impressive torque and control system, it feels like a character from the world of 'Stranger Things' – rugged, rebellious, and ready for adventure.

. As someone who's 6'4", I found it really hard to find a comfortable riding position. Maybe they can consider adding adjustable seats in the future? That'd be a game-changer for people with varying heights. But aside from that, I love how nimble this thing is - it's way more fun to ride than I expected 
. The control system on this bike is also super cool, I like how you can track all your stats in real-time 
. One thing I'm a bit concerned about is the battery life in hilly terrain... 28 miles feels kinda short for me 
. Still, it's an awesome ride and if they make some tweaks to the design, it could be a real winner

The bike's design is straight out of a 1980s off-road racing movie – minus the helmet hair 
GoTrax really knows how to pack a punch with that 750-watt motor and 90 newton-meters of torque 
The full-color LCD display is like having your own personal coach on the road, keeping you in check with real-time data 
Not all bikes are created equal – this one's got some growing pains, but it's still a blast to ride 
. The only downside is the battery life isn't as long as I'd like - 28 miles in hilly terrain? That's a bit short for my taste 
.
! 90 newton-meters of torque is wild 
, and that full-color LCD display is so cool 
. I mean, who designs a bike for 6'4" guys? 
, and the battery life's pretty decent too 
️. Not perfect, but definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for an electric bike 
.
that bike sounds so cool!! i can imagine why you'd feel like you're riding around in a movie with how awesome the controls are 
but yeah it's kinda bummer about the fixed seat not being adjustable, especially if you're a big person like u lol 
anyway i think its awesome that ur bike can tackle those steep hills with ease 
it's like a mini muscle car on wheels! but yeah the battery life could be better, 28 miles in hilly terrain is decent tho

! And can we talk about how underrated e-bikes are? They're like the ultimate freedom machine - no need for a car, no traffic worries... it's like the perfect escape from reality 
. I'm all about that 750-watt motor, though... 90 newton-meters of torque? That's some serious juice

! 750 watts of power? No hill's too steep for this beast
