Had mine for a month now. Absolute beast! It took me a month to get it, was not happy about that. But wow, what a machine. Three nights in I got totally soaked for two hours heading home. Really got pummelled. Took my shoes three day to dry out. Scooter just spun like a top. No issue whatsoever. I was amazed. I have minor complaints. Screws on the fenders are all wrong. Had to replace them and use lock down. Poor design. That is all the negatives I have found so far. At about 800 Km now. It rocks!

Having a stem light like the Apollo Go would be really nice. I'm hoping that future electric scooters will have LFP batteries. I could live with the extra weight of these batteries for the extra charge cycles and improved fire safety. I have an LFP based power station, 512 Wh, that charges completely in 1 hour. That would be really nice charging time for an scooter.

I've been very impressed with Apollo scooters. I've been using my Ghost since COVID started as a replacement for my car (on good weather days) and it's been great. This would be a nice alternative due to the super high waterproofing (which is lacking on the Ghost.) The dedicated regen brakes are a home run IMO, and I hope that Apollo includes them on all their scooters. Why? Every time you want to change your brake pads (which is the most common thing you'll do other than maybe replace tubes) it will cost you $20 in shipping plus the cost of the pads. If you have a regen paddle like this, the that expense is completely negated. The self-healing tires also means that you won't be paying for popped tubes (which sadly happens a lot more often on scooters than bicycles.)
@eRideHero9 ай бұрын
Totally agree - I almost exclusively use the regen brakes in comfortable situations and use the actual drums as more of an emergency brake. I feel it slightly improves range and, as you say, greatly diminishes wear on brakes. Also, the regen is as smooth as NIU and Segway's which is a hard feat to achieve.

Great review. Thank you. A few questions: Do you find the deck space sufficient? At 3:08 you didn’t seem to be able to find space for your rear foot. Also, did you find the weight manageable? I am trying to decide between Air and City. Air is more than 20 lbs lighter at half the price and reviews say it is comfortable. How much of a difference is there in comfort and performance? Does it justify the weight and cost?
@eRideHero9 ай бұрын
Thank you! And yes, there's plenty of deck space - I reckon I just had really awkward footing in that clip or did it on purpose (don't recall). The weight is on the heavy side, same goes for its competitors. I have yet to try the Air, but it looks like a solid scooter - in a different category, though. Still, I believe it is a comfortable ride, but the City Pro feels heavenly and has all the power I need personally.

Understand the confusion. So, for the 2023 version, Apollo had both a single and dual motor version (the dual being the Pro). It seems they've streamlined things now, offering just one version (dual motor) and also ditching the "Pro". So this is basically the Apollo City 2024, just without the few new upgrades.

I live in Utah, and I commute to work, ride the train, and live on the third floor. What would you recommend for best portability, performance, ride quality, build quality, and Customer Service. This 2023 Apollo city, pro or the Solar EQ by solar scooters?
@eRideHero Жыл бұрын
I sadly haven't had the chance to test the Solar EQ yet so I can't comment on performance or ride and built quality. In terms of portability, it should be very similar to the City Pro (the regular City is a little lighter). On paper, the Solar seemingly offers more performance relative to cost, but it takes a lot to beat the ride quality of the City. However, it sounds like portability is quite important for you (maybe more than you think in the long run). I would definitely throw the Splach Twin Plus into the mix. It is more compact and lighter, although ride quality isn't quite what the City can offer. It'll run you a bit cheaper, too. Here a link to the scooter: splach.bike/products/splach-twin-a-premium-dual-motor-budget-electric-scooter?variant=40178452955191&sca_ref=3650655.vBUMxX4TzM (ERIDEHERO60 will give you $60 off)
