The Apollo Go electric scooter is a beginner friendly dual motor 46 lbs transportation option at a reasonable price. This electric scooter has regenerative brakes, a relatively small deck size, but handlebars set to fit an adult rider. The dual 350w motors give the Apollo Go 700w of power, and if you don't blast the trottle like I did they say you can do 20-30 miles of range. You can see my Apollo Go range results in this video, along with the acceleration and top speed performance metrics. All in all this is a quality scooter from a reputable company that gives a smooth powerful ride and solid range at a fair price. The cherry on top is the UL certification making this one safer than many cheap china e-scooter brands.

Sooo many features squeezed into every square inch, it's like it was designed by a pocket knife company. Considerable bang for the buck and fun. And like many others, I'm just getting to the end of the driveway and back until it warms up some 20 degrees, so thanks for keeping the fire burning their in LA. Great review, once again!

[@johngreen-io3cb]

10 months later, there sure is a fire in LA

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Nice job bud. We have a fire right now literally. Way to go

Just bought one yesterday... it's on its way...

[@Dubsteppah]

How do you like your scooter?

[@onlygod5667]

​@@Dubsteppah it's pretty good to my shocking...better than I expected...super smooth and with the dual motor it picks up speed super fast! Drives up hills with ease... scooter feels sturdy and well built...took it off-road the other day and it went smoothly...isn't the fastest scooter but it isn't the slowest either...I recommend the Apollo go if you're just gonna commute around town and ride for pleasure...

[@Dubsteppah]

@@onlygod5667 right on makes me happy to hear, I really want Apollo to do well, they seem like they give a crap, happy riding, hope your summer is awesome !!

Sweet!

I just upgraded my Jackrabbit and I don't even get to try it because it's so cold out. Thank you for keeping the fire burning with these uploads. They've been helping pass the time as we slowly get to warmer weather

[@jstewart627]

I was curious about it. That is a good top speed for being light

[@royieg2543]

Just bought one, pretty good for day to day commuting, small enough, transportable. Good for last mile commute, or if commute 10km or less. You can charge at work if live farther. I ride in rain, so IP 66 eork well

[@1hjehje]

I am interested in a scooter such as this and it checks all of my boxes with the exception of range and battery chemistry. If it offered longer range using a safer battery chemistry I would definitely purchase one. I would be willing to pay a higher price if these options were available. I really like the post light and signal lights. Very classy and practical.

[@kuhnniks87]

Hey, been watching all your scooter videos. Best on details and honesty on how everything is. Can you please do one on a Inokim OXO. Just wondering how you think of them. I have one and love it. Just wondering how you would compare it to other 40mph scooters...

[@Tzartle_The_Kaiju]

Hey what are the gloves you use I’m curious to buy em! Also any recommendations for uhh like forearm-elbow pads?

[@joehopper3720]

The aesthetics are super clean; features appear to be well engineered, hopefully quality is up to par. Nice scooter.

[@Patriot36]

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.

[@imglidinhere]

Yeah I am inclined to agree. The idea that these scooters are "totally fine" to go only 20-25 miles is a bit of a let-down. My Mantis V2 was reviewed to be able to go 25-27 miles, but only doing 15-18mph, which goes completely against the point of a scooter that can casually double that speed and then some. Really wish manufacturers would embrace the 'oversized' battery philosophy that some models have taken. I would not mind the scooter being another 3-4 inches longer and weigh another few pounds to double or triple the battery size and get 35+ miles of range with the throttle wide open the whole way. I'd love that.

[@theferrit32]

Fully agree with you here. The range is an issue with picking this one. I have a 7 mile each way commute. A 20 mile range is concerning with a ~15 mile commute, especially if I want to take a short side trip to the grocery store on the way home. I don't need the 28mph speed, I'd be fine (and probably would anyways) just doing 20mph.

[@jlb4685]

Yours is like the 6th review I've seen where the actual top speed using a GPS reads 25mph despite the heavy advertising saying that the scooter does 28mph. Just advertise what the actual speed is Apollo because it begs the question where do the lies end. Also 20-30 mile range? yeah maybe if you ride in 6mph granny mode.

[@GixrGuy]

Peace be with you😌 You have an adorable pet🥰 Your dog is a "scene stealer!" And the scooter is nice😉 Thank you👍

[@Alex.623]

Love your videos man keep on going also I love that scooter I want it

[@verus2k6]

Can somebody just make a decent mid scooter with extra range already. It's rather do 25/30mph for a range of 50 plus miles than have a light scooter that barely goes anywhere

[@theferrit32]

I have the same thought. I'm riding around town and in a city. I don't really need to go over 20mph, but I do need good, solid range. And around the city features like having built-in GPS tracking or extra security features would be nice. If the apollo go had a bigger battery I'd have already bought it. As is, I'm holding off on the decision.

[@SteveMartinUSA]

Great review--thank you! My previous scooter experience was on rentals, the Lime in particular, but I bought the 2024 Apollo 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 KZbin. 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 might go with electric bikes if I had the choice again.

[@SteveMartinUSA]

Note that I did return the Go due to the bumpy ride. The City is much smoother and more powerful, but it's a solid jolt from hell if you hit a pothole.

Nice e-scooter for a stroll. The screen doesn't flicker because of the 60 FPS but rather because of the different refresh rate frequency, which is in hz, and on the GoPro, the settings are for 50hz (used in Europe) and 60hz, (used in the United States). Other than that, I was a good review, as always. Regards!

@JuicedJoyrides 8:38 man, why would you want to switch units from metric to outdated units of 17th century?

[@onceuponareset-ho7fg]

Apollo will have about 26 upgrades/improvements on the next generation of the Go. They seem to like to use their buyers of a new model of scooter as beta testers, so that they can make improvements on the scooter, based off of their beta testers issues and complaints. For me...it's an Apollo No. At least until the more improved Apollo Go hits the market.

[@ApolloScooters]

Hi @onceuponareset-ho7fg - thanks for your comment here, and just want to update you on our processes for scooter launches. We now have 5 different versions of our scooters (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5) before we then launch V6 to our beta platform. Once the Beta's ride 10,000KM +, the scooter then goes to launch. For the GO here for example, it's gone through 6 iterations and a Beta program, and is now mass market ready 🙂. We learnt, in all honesty, from the City in which we did have upgrades and changes on the next batches post launch, and today the Go is ready to Go (no pun intended). We're always improving and as transparent as possible!

Great review!

[@idrissamorehouse322]

If your actually a commuter or you want to urban explore - Uscooter GT is better - i don't understand why APOLLO doesnt give the fold down handles on a commuter scooter like this !? That's so clutch when your poppin in and out of stores, busses, etc- all you get with this is an extra 2or3 miles per hour and some extra range + extra weight :/

[@eloipecquet]

You get a rock solid handlebar as well! I do have a Uscooter GT, I do like how smalls it gets, but I hate the shaky handlebar or stem! Our Scooters, including the go, have a 10 000km warranty and that would not be possible or safe with the current systems of folding handlebars!

First, don't buy it

[@alexsherel3344]

Why…

[@savemankind738]

@@alexsherel3344 When companies / people say beginner scooter , they mean bare bone everything . I have never bought beginner anything , the reason being is people get a hang of things very quickly and then they want to upgrade , so you'll be loosing the money trying to sell this in order to buy a more advanced scooter. I for example had never ridden a scooter before and my first scooter was a splach titan ( bought a used one ) that thing had dual 1300 watt motors , it was overwelming to ride that because even with one motor that thing was pulling my 200lbs weight like nothing, and would jerk me back with the amount of torque it had , but within 2 to 3 days I got used to the power .This scooter will only make sense if you have to climb stairs while carrying it , otherwise buy something more powerful because later on you'll want that extra hill climbing torque , plus range is usually a big thing and something that only gives you 11 to 12 miles to a charge will get pretty boring .
