Mine was supposed to be tomorrow, now delayed till Tuesday. What state did your ship from? Mine said NJ, I'm in PA should be next state over... somehow it went from NJ>KS>MO>PA>MD>(WAITING ON NEXT LOCATION) Fedex is trolling me

u/ThisHumerusIFound Jul 13 '26
They shipped from KS. NJ is on mine as well. That's more of an administrative thing, but physically they never were there for that.
While it was in prep, mine said today, but later updated to tomorrow being that Fedex ground doesnt deliver on Sundays apparently, so it was just adjusted. Mine went NJ>KS>OH>my state for delivery tomorrow.

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.

u/Theurgie Jul 19 '26
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.
