Golden Buzzaround EX in Action
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The GB148 is the 4-wheel version of the Buzzaround EX — Golden also makes a 3-wheel (GB118) version of the same model. The 4-wheel is more stable on uneven outdoor terrain, curb cuts, and gravel, while the 3-wheel has a tighter turning radius for indoor use. If you're using it mostly outdoors or want maximum stability, choose this 4-wheel GB148.

The Buzzaround EX uses two U1 batteries that disconnect wirelessly — no plugs or cables to fiddle with. You just lift the battery pack out of the rear well one-handed and carry it inside to charge. It's a major upgrade over older scooters where you had to disconnect cables every time.
