[@mikeclitoris3176]

Have you done a review of the navee v50

[@berlenittadulalia2620]

Not working 😢

[@christophergeorge6490]

Ended up ordering the City Pro for myself and next the Air for my wife. Great channel to help me through all the choices guys. Thanks!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much for your support! -Paul

[@aidanscracked831]

How is the range on it after having it for a little while?

[@av6162]

Thanks for the review. Rider Guide has become a trusted source on all things e-scooters and rider gear. I am currently leasing the Unagi Voyager going into month 3. The 2023 Apollo Air is high on my list for all the reasons Rider Guide has tested. I ride BART daily so this would be a great upgrade getting me to my destinations in the City. More importantly, weight and ride comfort is major factor for my needs. One more thing. The visual and local landmarks are awesome! Thanks for repin' The Bay!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you for your support! -Paul

[@jdbellette]

Just spent a few hours on the Air 2023, awesome scooter! I have the Max G2 as well but the Apollo is way more enjoyable to ride. Even without the rear suspension.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Right on!

[@winniepeg2020]

Have you ridden inmotion S1? I get 32mls range at 15.5mph including some hills I'm 15st 9lbs

[@rexluminus9867]

​@winniepeg2020 I'm only 10lbs same as my 🐈. 😂😅

[@michrgok]

I like the easier left break for smoothly adjusting speed as well as the handle grips that won't move. Seems like they are baking a lot of nice stuff into the scooter without raising the price.

[@Magooch86]

I bought this scooter a month or so ago and am loving it so far, this review really helped me decide so thanks

[@Philip_Taylor]

You did us proud with this, it's provides me with years of insight before I buy it. Thanks.

[@ttan2908]

That is one smooth and sleek looking ride. I would not mind attaching a wheelchair to that. FYI I use a wheelchair. At the moment I attached one of my old wheelchairs to a Evercross H5 with four ubolts and a forearm crutch. I will be emailing yall a picture just incase anyone who is always in a manual wheelchair wants to ride.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

That's awesome! -Paul

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Awesome review im glad i came to rider fest. The crew at Apollo were awesome!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Sleepy-Koala]

This was one of the scooters that I was considering when buying my first scooter. Sadly I didn't choose this one wnd ended up regreting it. I want this one now!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It’s a very good scooter for sure!

[@grantsvlogs]

I like scooters with handle bar turn signals 🎉

[@curlyqaa]

Seems like a nice commuter option. You want a smooth ride and braking - nothing worse than being around cars and having a scooter that jumps at starts or stops

[@ErrollJones-s6d]

Hi you are one off the best professional scooter connoisseur 👍🏽 I would love to buy the scooter only thing is missing option to change your handlebars to be smaller and the option the speed up to 28 MPH. As an option put in a code and you get that speed it would be a win-win

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much! -Paul

[@DeathCab4Cutie]

I appreciate you putting the £ equivalent on your reviews. However, in the UK, the price turns out to be the same as Dollars. Example : Kaabo Mantis King GT is priced at around $2200, (a scooter I really like) and in the UK, it's about the same as a dollar price : £2200. ($2670)

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Sorry about that. We intentionally deleted it in the previous review, but it seems to have crept back in. -Paul

[@kellytupick2025]

Great review, thanks for all the info.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much! -Paul

[@underdog2400]

Thank you all for not just reviewing any and every new scooter on the market. Love that you vette the cheap brands. So when’s the new Mantis King coming out???

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

No plans on that yet!

[@frisbeefrolf]

Bought one today for $700! Feels like I stole it! Very excited to ride it this weekend

[@ezra-keto]

I like the inclusion of bar end signals, you don't really see that on ebikes or scooters even though they should, I'm wondering though is the one included commercially available?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes

[@MrLycanstein]

Thx for the great info. I went by purely customer reviews buying a scooter for my son last year and regret it. In literally weeks, my son’s hiboy seemed to have issues. Flat spots on tires, throttle sporadically changed what top speed was possible depending on the day, cheap plastic parts falling off, just a poor choice. This one looks like my choice to replace for him for Christmas. Thanks again.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad I could help!

[@Atestinal]

Great to see bar-end turn signals making a default appearance on a scooter

[@rexluminus9867]

Yes, with rubber tips.These break off very easily!!!! Terrible finishing. 😮

[@anitacorrow1489]

Thank you for the detailed review. I like how it can handle the city streets

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

No problem!

[@rexluminus9867]

10" wheels 🎉❤😊.

[@amandapetty-ashton2078]

Its gotta tear y'all up to ,be forced to ride and play with all those scooter options! 😢 To quote "Annie" its a hard knock life for us🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I’ve lost count but I think we have more than 150 on hand right now. -Paul

[@ixiwixi]

Looks like a very comfortable ride

[@bvcltd.3250]

Great review, thanks guys - hey which rides better on bricks and cobbles, the 2023 Air or the new Segway Max G2?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Can’t go wrong with either honestly! We love the Air!

[@gopaal9424]

Hi Paul, good to see your videos. One quick question: Segway or Apollo: For durability, reliability, maintenance and after sales service? Thanks

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Would go with the Apollo! Great value here

[@gopaal9424]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks for the reply. Then why there is so much bad rummors of Apollo specially on reddit?

[@MicahLowther]

I love the bar end lights! I always feel like I'm invisible to cars on my scooter

[@rexluminus9867]

BREAKS OFF EASILY.😮.

[@JohnnyBoy635]

I love how much range you get!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I was surprised how much further it went. I think part of it is due to the tubeless tires. -Paul

[@aidanscracked831]

How much range do you get on full throttle?

[@reggaetony2806]

​@@aidanscracked831mine only lasted 16 miles on full throttle. I wish I had known that scooter companies over rate their range dramatically. Brand new gota return it and just go with the emove cruiser

[@natalieyarbrough7551]

This looks like smooth riding!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It is! -Paul

[@AustinF516]

I bet you guys are super pumped to check out the new model "rover" that slots between the air and the city for power and weight. I'm sure you will have a pre production model by March. It will be a dual 350W motor with a top speed around 27-28mph and only 5-8lbs heavier than the Air 23.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Looking forward for sure!

[@johntorre1213]

Yeah the air weights 38 lb and the rover or now call the "GO" weights 50 lb. That's not so portable,

[@sweepswnr]

I like the end turn signals!

[@rexluminus9867]

You drop it & breaks very easily!!!😮. Needs rubber tips,like an other scooter company has done it. Apollo always misses something!!!Sadly 😮

[@pacochawa2746]

I cant wait to hear about the inmotion rs with pmt tires... The question isnt should I buy it but when?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I'll let you know. Hopefully I won't crash again. It's been 1.5 weeks and my shoulder still isn't working well. -Paul

[@ErrollJones-s6d]

Hi thanks for taking the time out for us. 🎉 With all of the scooters 🙌🏽 I like the Apollo but top speed needs to be 25 mph price is good handlebars too long for committing need more lights 🚥

[@flat6s]

Another option to consider in my search for a scooter.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Nice! Happy hunting! -Paul

[@brigitteb8176]

This for providing the very informative review.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

Seeing what they're doing with the city and the air, I think the new phantom is gonna be interesting to see. I suspect the phantom will get the tubeless self healing tires as well. My guess is the 2024 phantom will get these upgrades.

[@eddymann1]

Great review I watch all your videos these reviews are so on point and cover every detail

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Glad you like them! Thanks for stopping by.

[@Lssymes]

Is this a worthwhile upgrade to the ninebot max g30? I love mine but there's a lot to love about this new air. The range is a pause for thought, but I like the lighter weight(20kg is my limit), speed, tires andlove impressions from any who have ridden both?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes it’s an upgrade , but check out the Apollo Go it’s even better geni.us/ApolloGo use code RIDERGUIDE to get $50 off either the air or the go

[@omermujawar]

Some really exciting upgrades! Looks like a great scooter

[@Lumps123]

A screw went into my tire. I took the screw off and the scooter seems to be running well still. Is there anything i should do about it to make sure the tire stays in good condition?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

No, just make sure you check your tire pressure regularly! On cars and motorcycles they say punctures reduce your tire's speed rating by one-rating, but that doesn't really come into play here. Glad to hear it sealed itself! -Paul

[@lewiegun]

Great looking scooter - I kind of dig the throwback BMX-style handlebars!

[@xoxoxo4Angelique]

Nice! Has good speed.

[@e-scooterguy]

When the Uk finally legalise these I have a dilemma, Segway g2 max, Apollo air/city, or pure advance (be great if RG could get hold of pure). My one gripe with most of the commuter scooters is the lack of folding handlebars making them as wide as a bike so not as portable. Perhaps the folding handlebars from the navee n65 could be implemented! Other than that really like Apollo design and fact they go for ip66!

[@JSythe]

Avoid apollo.

[@e-scooterguy]

@@JSythe how come mate?

[@Ulyces-i6n]

U are the best review expert my friend

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Wow, thanks

[@MoleTwins]

This may be a silly question, but are there aftermarket seats that can be added to this model? I have seen other commuter scooters that offer them

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We have not seen the aftermarket seats!

[@locvu6185]

Very nice review!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much! -Paul

[@northy4119]

I'm stuck deceding between the Apollo Air and the Segway Ninebot MAX G2. Which would you recommend between these two?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Both are awesome! Can’t go wrong with either.

[@templetouchmedia4013]

I’m looking at this scooter for my kid in college. How would this handle hill grades in Berkeley?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

For hills we would recommend the Apollo Go it’s slightly more expensive but twice the scooter. geni.us/ApolloGo Use Code RIDERGUIDE for $50 off

[@isaacdbz4lyfe]

If you had a choice as a new scooter owner would you recommend the G2 max or this scooter? I have the option to buy either as they are around the same price atm. Thanks in advance.

[@isaacdbz4lyfe]

Never mind just realised the Air has a 100KG rider limit, i am just over that :'(

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We would pick the air! The weight limit is not a problem. You can use code RIDERGUIDE for $50 off

[@jimwood7024]

Scooter with all the bells and whistles

[@Sintanuj]

I"'m confused between NIU Kqi 300p vs Apollo Air 2023. Which one would you suggest?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Both are great options but we would go for the air. Get $50 off with code RIDERGUIDE

[@AlderaansRanger]

I just ordered this scooter tonight. I had a bad experience with the roadrunner RS5 and just want something simple to ride around the neighborhood on. It’s a downgrade from roadrunner but it will suffice for the simple paved riding I want to do.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@CliffordChaosGames]

Im having trouble going faster than 22mph on my apollo air 2023, i tryied to change my max speed in the setting to 28mph but it didn't work. Am i just misunderstanding what it means?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I think that’s the max speed but that model!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It really does feel like a mini-Pro in terms of the fit and finish and the awesome-feeling grips. -Paul

[@gavindoescoffee]

How is the suspension? And will you make a Apollo City 23 single motor reviews

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I'm not sure we'll ever get to the single motor version. We have one, but have never fully tested it. The one criticism I have of the single motor version, is that because it only has one regen brake instead of two like the dual motor version, the over all braking feel isn't as good as the dual motor version. The single motor Apollo City we have is a very early model though, so the drum brakes may have gotten stronger since then. -Paul

[@gavindoescoffee]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I live in Oakland! Is there any chance I could come buy and try the Apollo City

[@Moosefelt]

The Buzze F450 desperatedly needs a review somewhere on KZbin, btw.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We will check it out!

[@bstorm123]

I'm 6'10". Is this thing too small for me, or can it handle bigger riders?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thus one would be too big! Try the new Emove cruiser is has expandable stem geni.us/CruiserV2 use code RIDERGUIDE for max discount

[@1500.w]

On the website it says 55km range is this true? Or is the 33km test as much as you’ll get?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

The tested range is real life range!

[@Spdlmt150]

Looks like a comfortable ride.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It really is!

They will send the newest model

[@frankisme7792]

omg the reliability is finally added to the review section!!!! I believe some new brands will be really bad on this part, like NIU, have seen so many posts on reddit say that no customer service at all in U.S. 😂

Seems like a great addition!

We agree! Thanks for stopping by.

[@docsocko]

My scooters regenerate brake lever stays down when I press it and the scooter some times it does a thing and it starts shaking

I live in Burnaby with lots of hill how would it do for my brother?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Do you know how steep the hills are? During the range test, most of my hills were 4 to 6% grade (6ft of elevation gain per 100 ft forward) and it kept its speed pretty well with me (165lb rider) on board. The test hill you see it on is 10% grade and it slowed down to about 8mph up that one. -Paul

[@Ahnafpushon]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide most of the hills here are 15-20% hill

[@josephgroff4131]

wow what great scooter

[@philippunla]

Niu Air vs Apollo Air?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I'd have to ask Mitchell, I haven't ridden the NIU Air yet, since he tested that one in Germany. My guess is that ride quality is better on the Apollo and of course, weight is better on the NIU. Style points are high for both. -Paul

[@ajonline87]

thats pretty sweet!!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Sure is!

[@epik89]

Apollo Air 2023 or the Segway F2 PRO?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

They're pretty close. The Air 2023 is a little faster and goes a little further, and feels a little nicer in terms of the over all finish, but they're both great scooters. The one performance difference that stands out is the F2 Pro has a fairly long stopping distance from 15mph at 17 ft. -Paul

[@eloipecquet]

Just for the Regen throttle alone, I think the Air is superior!

Wasn't me, but if someone has something of substance to say, we'll typically leave it, or respond to it if we feel like we can shed some light. But comments like "brand X sux", or other name calling won't always get to stay.
