Meet the G11Pro: Your Entry-Level Electric Scooter with Big Character
If you’re shopping for a budget electric scooter and want something that doesn’t look budget — the G11Pro might catch your eye. Retailing at around $599, it delivers four standout features that set it apart from the usual suspects.

1. Full-Fairing Coverage
Most entry-level scooters bare their metal frames and cables. But the G11Pro is wrapped in full fairing — like a sport bike. This gives it sleek styling and a more “finished” look.
Personally, I think it looks sharp. If you’re someone who cares about aesthetics and durability, this is a big plus.

2. Inverted Front Suspension
Yes — this normally sports-bike feature has made its way into an electric scooter. Inverted forks often yield better rigidity and improved handling. The reviewer noted this is one of the first of its kind in this price class.
If you ride regularly over uneven pavement, this gives you an edge.
3. Embedded Charger in the Scooter
Instead of carrying a separate bulky charger unit, you only need to carry cables — because the G11Pro already houses the charger.
For commuters or anyone with limited storage space, that small convenience adds up.
4. Bright Dashboard LEDs for Intuitive Feedback
The G11Pro features bright LEDs that let you see when you throttle or brake. It’s a small detail, but one that enhances usability and rider confidence — especially in low-light conditions.
This shows the maker thought beyond just speed and battery.

Performance by the Numbers (Because You Want the Facts)
Here’s how the G11Pro stacks up when you put it through real tests: acceleration, range, ride feel.
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Lux test (headlight) | ~825 lux from about 6 ft — not ultra-bright, but strong enough for night riding. |
| Noise (motor) | ~66–67 dB — reasonably quiet. |
| Weight | ~59.3 lb — you’ll feel that when lifting or carrying. |
| Speed (0–10 mph) | 2.98 seconds (when fully charged) — smooth start. |
| Speed (0–20 mph) | 8.1 seconds (fully charged) — quite respectable for this price point. |
| Range (full battery, ~200 lb rider) | ~13.5 miles before speed drops significantly — given wind and full load, this is pretty solid. |
| Braking distance (at ~15 mph) | ~14 ft 10 in using drum + EABS — decent for the class, though not elite. |
So, if you’re wondering “Will this perform in real-world riding?” — yes, it does. It’s not ultra-premium, but for a $599 scooter it punches above its weight.
The Ride Experience: Pros & Cons
Pros
- Smooth, usable acceleration: unlike some budget scooters that start too aggressively or taper off badly, this one is tuned for everyday riding.
- Signals on the handlebars: helps with commuter usability and safety.
- Large 11-inch CST tires: they help smooth out uneven pavement and add comfort.
- Inverted front forks and stable ride quality: for the price, you get better handling than typical budget scooters.
Cons
- No rear LED turn signal: only the front handlebar signals — something to keep in mind if you ride in traffic or shared paths.
- Dashboard brightness: the screen is a bit dim in daylight, making it harder to read at a glance.
- Top speed of only ~20 mph: if you ride longer distances or want higher speed, you may feel limited. Some competitors hit higher top speeds in this price range.
Who Should Consider the G11Pro?
If you’re a budget commuter who wants something that looks different and rides better than standard budget scooters, this is a strong candidate. Here’s who I think it’s best for:
- Someone valuing style + substance in the $500 price range.
- A commuter in a city or suburb who uses flatter terrain and rides ~10–15 miles or less per trip.
- A rider who prioritizes comfort and ride quality (large tires, good suspension) over blistering top speed.
- Someone who doesn’t mind trading off a few premium features (e.g., higher top speed, ultra-bright dash) in exchange for value.
If you want long-range, higher top speed, or advanced features like full LED rear signalling and a super bright dashboard, then you might look up one tier. But for what it is, it’s one of the best entry-level rides in its segment.

Final Verdict
If I were to summarise: the Fifth Wheel G11Pro offers a remarkably solid entry into electric scooters for the ~$599 price point. You get style (full fairing), thoughtful design (inverted forks, embedded charger), and usable real-world performance (13 + miles range, solid ride quality) — with only a few trade-offs (top speed, dash brightness, rear-signal omission).
For its target audience — budget commuters who want something a bit different — it’s a win.
If you’re seriously considering buying one, pair this review with your commute terrain, distance, and usage patterns. If your commute is longer than 15 miles each way or you want more speed, you might explore up a tier. But for many riders it will hit the mark.
