All New APOLLO GO Review: The Future of Commuter Electric Scooters 

Been really digging the stuff Apollo has been putting out lately, great review as always!

Very comprehensive review guys. I enjoy listening to all of your thoughtful & collaborative insights.

Let's be honest, Andrew occasionally rides with one hand because there are a lot of fans out there and it would be rude not to wave back

Best content for scooters! Keep up the great works guys!

Great review guys and it seems that this scooter got alot of attention to detail for quality control. I have seen alot of complaints before of some of their other scooters but this one got some more tlc. Take care guys.

This is going to be my first e-scooter. Looking forward to delivery.

👍 Thanks, guys!

Great review--thank you! My previous scooter experience was on rentals, the Lime in particular, but I bought the 2024 Go. Go is faster & quicker than the 2024 Lime, but the Lime is smoother, more comfortable, and more stable. The Go wheels are tiny for portability, but it’s a bumpy ride and not very comfortable. The wheels take literally five strokes from the Joe Blow bike pump. The Go won’t fit in my WRX sedan trunk, unless I leave the trunk open. It’s very tight. The Go fits in the back seat of my car but it takes the full length of the seat. I’m not sure if the City or Klima would fit on the back seat. The Go fits easily in our Impreza hatchback, and it could easily hold two The deck of the Go is a bit cramped and I find myself shifting my feet around frequently on a one hour ride. The Go climbs small hills well, and large hills slowly. I live in the mountains. Battery drains quickly for 195 pound rider at mostly full speed, but it lasts a long time at more comfortable speeds. Dot Matrix display needs trip odometer and clock. Definitely room for improvement on the display. I don’t like it. Quad phone mount is useful but I don’t like fiddling with my phone. Excellent production quality & shipping Unit arrived from Best Buy in two days, perfect shape Very good help desk response over text & email Good printed documentation for setup Decent smart phone app for settings, but could be simplified. Good assembly video on RU-vid. Easy & exciting setup. I never want to be a scooter mechanic and Paul @Electric Scooter Review scored the Go 9.2 out of 10 for maintenance. This was a big factor in my purchase. I like the scooter but wish for longer range and a smoother ride, without sacrificing portability. I want it all! Now I’m thinking I’d go with electric bikes if I had the choice again.

I felt it in my soul when you purposely let it fall 😂

Great review Andrew and Jimmy! I will likely pick one of these up eventually for my wife's San Francisco commuting. She loves her E-Twow GT but I want her to have something that has greater IPX rating and pneumatic tires for better wet weather grip. She is fine on the E-Twow GT (even in the rain). The GT can also hit 25MPH and is much lighter. She has to transport the scooter up and down stairs and there is a big difference between 28lbs. and the nearly 50lbs of the Go. The self-sealing tires of the Go look great and I like the everything about it except for the non-folding handlebars. It won't fit in the storage areas on a train or my tall locker at the gym. Regardless, I still want to get a Go for her eventually as her rain commute scooter but I need her GT to stop working which is very unlikely. She has well over 5000 miles on it and it still going strong. I have just had to change the tires out, replace the drum brake pads and replace the brake cable wires when needed.

You the man Jimmy!

man i wish they had them quick disconnects on the phantom, its a pain to change tires with the motor attached.

I think Apolla makes good scooters, but honestly this is the first time I think they finally hit the nail on the head, within its segment they got this one the most right,.....the right pricing, they didn't waste money on a disc brake where it wasn't needed, allowing them to offer it at a cheaper price, front suspension, above average range for its segment, above average ride quality for its segment, they picked the right place to splurge by adding the self-healing tires......low maintenance scooter, good ride quality, good range for its segment, I think this will be their sales leader within their line-up.

wow, that is really a great looking and well spec'd escooter. love that light sabre

Cool little scooter

Very cool! Im so glad you guys are reviewing it. Im buying one for my 12 year old son for his 13th birthday by July, so any info i can get from you guys would be great. Im rocking an Inmotion RS, Segway GT1, and a Segway MAX G2. I can't wait to get this for my boy, more bonding time for me.

Nice review. I wonder how it will compare to the upcoming NIU KQi 300X.

Any chance that you guys could review the Apollo Phantom?

Andrew seems to get better in shape as the summer comes clooser😂Winter sleep over

Can you guys review Taur scooter?

Great review as always. Overall, there isn't a better scooter in this category anywhere. It's right in the sweet spot but there is one problem -- the range is weak -- 20 miles at best on a full charge in gear 2. To reach 44 miles you would have to crawl along.

I am a big, big fan of a regen brake lever. You can do lots of your braking regen only. If it’s predictable, non emergency braking, it’s the best way to go. I wish electric vehicles in the commuter line would focus on being legit water proof to all rain. You’re asking people to rely on it to go to work or places they need to be, they should be able to do that without worrying if it’s raining. If it’s raining you can wear some gear to keep you dry, but a commuter device should be able to do it no matter what.

Will you be doing a review on the Apollo Pro?

Just got mine yesterday in the mail super impressed did not know it went 40mph thought it only went 28mph max 😳😳

How is it compared to the new city pro .cheers

What brand helmets are you guys wearing? I like them a lot

How do you compare this to upcoming Taur 2?

Battery is a bit small 🧐

Let's go Jack! 👍

NICE

What helmet are you guys using?

I saw Freshly Charged’s review of the Hillclimber. Now that you’ve ridden both, any comments on how the Hillclimber holds up to this scooter at its $799 price point?

Any thoughts on their app and functionality compared to say Segway?

I'd rather have the VMAX V2 Extreme. But the Apollo Go ain't too far behind

How do you think this scooter compares to the inmotion climber ? I currently have the climber and love it, but I do miss the suspension, especially on rougher roads.

I want all these features (like the stem light, and the phone as a display) added to the City. Maybe there will be a 2024 City Pro?

Specs dual 350watt 36v fills a nice niche but it certainly is overpriced there are better scooters at that asking price and the light weight does not justify it enough. I think this scooter would be a good deal if it were on sale for 900 or less.

great review! anyone had an experience which lock is better for GO? Chain or Folding lock from apollo?

I like the Appolo scooters they are well made and designed. Ideal I would say, but they priced way too high, I just don't see value in it. On the other hand, NIU scooter are beautifully made and designed perhaps not quite designer ish like the Appollo, but you can't beat the extremely high quality and good looks of the NIU at half of the price.

Single braking system is a deal-braker, pun intended....the regen braking is nice, but if a truck blows a red light, and I need to stop, yesterday and it doesn't, the next option is jumping off, how wouldn't I be killed or seriously injured?....Lack of stopping power can mean death, I love the scooter, looks great, but I'd feel like i wouldn't have full control, not if you can't stop quick, these are dangerous toys to begin with, and 1 brake...is just stupid, charge another 200 dollars and put proper brakes on the thing, and also include the regen!

The top latch is a sharp metal piece that could hurt the rider when unfolding in a crash accident. Wish it had 10” tires instead of 9”. But other than that it seems like a great general purpose scooter.

Thoughts on the Gotrax GX1/GX2?

Mine folds but I can’t latch it because it doesn’t line up

46 pounds is still heavy walking up a flight of stairs. need to cover sub-30lb scooters. above 30lbs, basically there's no restrictions.

I get front wheel wobble when braking at 27-28 mph. Not all the time. Maybe 20%

Wow it has been 5 years since 2019

This or the new Niu KQI 300x?

I would want the kickstand on the right side...so that my Scooter is not leaning to the left.

8:04...ouch!

Does it have split rim...this is an important feature

Andrew you don't have to bunny hop every scooter if you keep doing bunny hops your going tear the scooter up you are rough on scooters good video

the price isn't that far from the city pro i would just get that tbh

Despite all its niceties, the main issue with this scooter is the lack of overall versatility due to limited range. With reviewers seeing 14 - 19 miles max, with at least one reviewer cruising at 20mph until it would no longer sustain, which is fairly unimpressive. Apollo used 30 x 21700 cells in 10 series, 3 parallel. Had they simply gone with 40 cells in 10 Series 4 Parallel, it would have transformed this scooter into one of the most versatile units in scooter history while not giving up any of it's other fantastic attributes. Adding 10 cells would add less than 2lbs to this unit, even factoring in a slightly deeper battery tub. I wish they'd make a "max" version with 40 cells and 2-3" wider handlebars so that there was room to add an accessory or two... lights, bell, etc. I love everything else about the this scooter but the range is an issue compared to its competitors from Niu, Segway, VMAX and others.

Go Apollo ! Go Apollo !

U guys didn’t tell us the range

This and the max g2 need to have a baby and that would be the perfect $1400 scooter 25-35mph top speed With range of 25-35 mi sport mode range Dual motor and dual suspension is there a scooter with these specs because I can’t seem to find anything

I love your honest review but I have issues purchasing parts from them. I guess it's a good scooter if your plan on purchasing new one every year or 2

Apollo really follows Apple's BS by naming things like they invented it with that "Airflow" suspension.

21KG and only one break in 2024 🤣 My Specialized 140/130mm fullsuspension Stumpjumper Bike weights 11.5 KG 😂

Why Ride Anything Else? Because Apollo is unavailable in my country (EU). Anyway, nice scooter. But range is way too small for this weight - I have 75 km (nominal) range from 22kg scooter.

Could I have a free one?

Awesome scooter but when it's up against scooters like the popular it can't beat it $999 that the price I would pay for it

so much for "air ow suspension "

Way to angle the camera to make then hill climb look steep 🙄

Lmao the magnet is suppose to be in the folding thing not the stem. It obviously came out as the glue they use isnt strong enough. Hope they refine that before they start shipping these

how much does it weigh?

Is the Apollo Go designed to be bunny-hopped off of curbs by larger riders? Or even smaller riders? It's designed/marketed/sold as a commuter scooter. Should a lightweight commuter scooter be subjected to bunny-hopping and jumping off of curbs?

suspension looks very minimal and those blinkers are a joke. 350W.. come on now

In terms of portability and performance of a 36v scooters, i choose the Gotrax G4 max. 0-20mph is better, longer range, lighter and has a good size of foot deck. Pricing is better as well for better specs.

This sounds like you got stock or employed by Apollo, for your information the scooter market is flooded and prices are falling, if you can't find a scooter with way better battery and specs for $3500 your lost sorry ! SMH😢

Scooter seems overpriced the market is crowded the scooter in my opinion is valued at $700 for what you get

I've been spoiled by eucs... 7 hours for a 15-20 mile battery charge...

Stop bunny hopping these scooters lol

The wheels are too small lol pot hole 🕳️ will have you flying no thank you 😂

Yeah! Just because it can hold 265lbs,it doesn't mean heavy weight people should ride it!!! Ok it's great under 165lbs.😂. A downgraded City pro!😮.As usual overpriced.A $1000.Can.Max!

Always bringing up something he doesn’t like about the scooter whilst bunnyhopping it . Stupid.

will never buy apollo after stem snapped while riding at 70 km on phantom. after being ignored for weeks they replied immediately after being threatened with a lawsuit, shit company. doesnt stand ebhind their product.. careful riding apollo never know when it will fall apart

Ugly too simple looking swing arms,weak power,ugly scooter...Dualtron Popular eats him in every look..same price like and Dualtron Popular...

You lost me at pneumatic tires. Not riding anything that can go flat especially scooters with suspension already built in. I don't know why you're so backwards my man.

You do know there's a rear suspension right

just get a iscooter ix5 500.00 pounds 600w peak power 1200w 28mph full suspension 10inch tyre

"Cheap disposable" is what the scooter community deserves
