Fantastic review with lots of details and comparisons 👍… one question I have though, and maybe I’m unusual in this regard, is how easy is the Apollo Air to use as a traditional manual kick scooter? In other words if the battery is dead and you need to kick it home. My understanding from contacting Apollo is that the rear motor is direct drive (not geared hub), which allows for regen braking, but also creates a slight negative in that any manual kicking requires overcoming electric motor drag making it slightly harder to push. I’ve experienced this on electric bikes as well … direct drives are slightly harder to pedal compared to geared hub which “free wheel”. This is not a deal breaker for me because the regen braking is a huge plus but just something I’m curious about. Thanks!
I was really hoping to see at least ip55 and some indicators on the air and the break light issue is completely valid. Do wish the handlebars folded aswell perhaps like on the ghost but this seems to be the standard handlebar design Apollo are going for looking at the city models. Hopefully see some of these improvements in the next iteration.
@@ApolloScooters oh right that’s great! Do take on board the feedback on the break light not flashing or getting brighter when u break and also the lack of indicators for your next iteration! Likely to be Uk regulation once legalised anyway and I think u guys can do so well here in the Uk once we have things agreed! 😀
@@ApolloScooters oh and guys it still says ip54 on your own website for the air. Worth amending as for many that could make a difference on purchasing or not! 👍🏻
I've owned the apollo air for almost a year now, I've boughten 4 spare tires, sent it into a shop once and it took 6 months to get back to me, spent another 3 months waiting for a control chip replacement. This is the biggest piece of shit you could possibly waste your money on do not listen to these sponsored youtubers.
