The Best Electric Scooters For Big Guys!

[@andyha1]

I bought the Apollo 2023 dual motor a few months ago on Tim's recommendation. Already have 2200KMs on it! It's amazing. Super smooth as well as powerful, and Tim is so right about the regen brakes. They're awesome! I almost never use the regular brakes. Thanks for all of your videos Tim, I never miss them. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year. Cheers, Andy

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @andyha1, so pleased you're happy with your purchase Andy! You've put some miles on the odometer :) Cheers and Happy Christmas :)

Go Apollo Go. I'm a Beta tester for The Apollo Pro Dream Machine. The S Class AMG Mercedes of scooters.Thanks for supporting the most innovative scooter company in the world. And they are Canadian like you and I.

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @drgb6800, how do you like it so far? Meeting your expectations?

[@joshuap4384]

Hi tim, can you do reviews of the other apollo scooters? Thanks!

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @joshuap4384, I've done the Ghost, Phantom, City...which one were you looking for?

[@mikerochester]

Tim, I love your picks. Some great scooters you shared.

[@TimsElectric]

thanks @mikerochester, another season is upon us...I wonder what will be in store for us to review :)

[@mikerochester]

@@TimsElectric Things seem to move so fast it will be interesting to see.:)

[@TimsElectric]

yes indeed @@mikerochester

[@amandamalzahn1114]

Hey Tim!!!! Thank you for your great videos!!! So very helpful!!!!

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome to hear @amandamalzahn1114 you're so welcome..I love making them :)

[@VonBarter]

Love your reviews. Keep it up

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @VonBarter, thank you so much :)

[@AhdyAhdy-ot9sh]

Very good What about chair in one you recommended with chair

[@TimsElectric]

That's the Emove Cruiser...I did a review of it on my channel :)

[@kahlanlong6218]

Thank you so much for your diligent reviews. I'm a heavier-set girl and I'm looking forward to riding the InMotion S1 around my campus. ❤

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @kahlanlong6218, hope it serves you well :)

[@SamHarris-ny2cn]

Tim great reviews! Question. Is the Apollo okay for a 6’ 3” guy? Is it also okay on bike trails? Thanks. Sam

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome question @SamHarris-ny2cn, I really like the City....love it :) my buddy Eric is 6'3" and he found it fun too :)

[@staffordcutler]

So the Apollo city pro is really good for a big guy?

[@TimsElectric]

No joke...i love it....use it all the time...I added only one modification...better rain guards, but that's only because with the IP rating I can ride it in the rain which is unheard of with most scooters...plus it's so smooooooth

[@sergiolandz6056]

i have the apollo phantom v3 and its great, i use it to get me to work and i have never had a problem with it. I'm almost at 1000 km's.

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @sergiolandz6056, so good to hear...it's a lovely riding unit...love the regen brakes...so smooth :) Happy trails :)

[@wyrwulf69]

I got a 5 mile commute this is a good option over a bicycle.

[@TimsElectric]

It sure is @wyrwulf69, plus it's more fun :)

[@toddm3182]

Hi, Phantom Question please…. I'm 6’4” at 275lbs. I am considering the Apollo Phantom V4 as the handlebar height and angle seems to fit the XXL's a bit better than many. I am concerned a bit with two things. The IP54 (not 66) as we do get good rain at times, and the tubed tires. Has you door dash friend in Victoria had any pinch flats or issues with water, as Victoria gets some decent rainfall also? I appreciate your videos. Be well.

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome questions @toddm3182, Love love the Phantom. Zero issues with the deliveries (1000kms and climbing) I was on it last week...so smoooooth :) No issues with flat tires...I hit 300lbs last summer (and when riding it had zero issues). Honestly my #2 scooter....I'm down to 265lbs again now but reach for the City all the time as I live in an apartment and carrying it up and down the stairs is easier for me :) But love the Phantom. I think you can get a discount if you use my link ...I'll go find it in case you buy from Apollo directly :) ...Let me know how you like it :) Cheers from a sunny day in Victoria :) Oh and no issues with the IP rating....it sure does rain a lot here in the winter :)

[@harrison00xXx]

Vsett10+ since recently. Got myself slightly higher handlebars beside some modifications from the pre owner and its perfect I also nearly pulled the trigger on some Apollo scooters, but the Vsett was better value for its price

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @harrison00xXx, as long as it's a good fit for you then you're all set :) Did you get the handlebars that curve up to add the height or a stem add on?

[@harrison00xXx]

@@TimsElectric yep, it had basic mtb style handlebars and i raised it a bit with a more curved handlebar. Im 1,97m tall and i really need the height, nearly got a Vsett11+ instead since its slighly higher handlebars. Which doesnt really fit my needs is speed (too much), torque (too much), and range (not enough). A stronger motor but single motor would have met my needs better, or just a slighly weaker motor/controller and more battery. suspension is superb, it glides like a mercedes with air suspension, it got (more than) enough power, feels great, safe and robust.

[@TimsElectric]

nicely done...I'm only 185cm and I have found a few scooters that the handlebars are too low for me....so at 197 you're going to find most I'm guessing :( Glad you found one that you were able to modify to your liking :)

[@harrison00xXx]

@@TimsElectric Vsett9+ with 45km/h would have fitted better, some random guy in germany converts the 9+ for something like 400€ with a pre filed special approval to register it and drive legally as if its a 45km/h moped, at least for DE, AT and CH it works. But 9+ was slightly too small and „weak“ for my taste, too much constant full throttle sessions.

[@TimsElectric]

I agree...the 9+ is too small for bigger people :) glad you found a good fit :)

[@JasonSchlegel-ie7zf]

Love seeing my etwow GTS on your channel! My first electric scooter. Looking to upgrade now, so im selling it. I have only 265 miles on it! Do you personally think asking price of $750.00 is a good deal? Any response would be appreciated! Love your channel brother.

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome that you loved it @JasonSchlegel-ie7zf, what are you looking to upgrade to? and sorry I'm not sure on pricing....just see what you can get :)

[@JasonSchlegel-ie7zf]

Looking at the Makita 10 plus!

[@TimsElectric]

will do

[@Goldie-yo9de]

Notice he only went up one little hill and we didn't even see him get to the top I can't think why 😂

[@TimsElectric]

nothing surreptitious, just the clips I chose for the video with what I thought was the most movement. :)

[@la24dogg21]

​@@TimsElectricyour responseable and respectable. Whats your thoughts on the 2021( I think=) EMove Touring. Im like 255 lbs on an good day and 310 on an bad one. 😅 Whats you thoughts on the 8 inch wheels 🤣, unfortunately me and my brother both have fallen off of this device due to randomly being dumb or Tire failing. 255,👌+ 3-60 lbs of extra weight water+ weight + supplies + protection+ work stuff on Un 🤔Thredlocked screws and such leads to bad issues for our size.? Any info for an big man or 2 to get too and from work on an electric system of some kind allowing or an fun easy experience no matter what the world has to offer that day . 😂😂😂 THX

[@TimsElectric]

excellent question @@la24dogg21 have you looked at the Apollo City (dual motor) ...I've found these to be comfortable, smooooth, enough power and range....it's what I reach for each week when I need a ride....I liked the Touring but found it wasn't quite robust enough for me...the Emove Cruiser is a better unit for bigger guys too...check that one out :) I did reviews on both :) ask me anything :)

[@MoneyBone-eb2dy]

😂😂😂

[@smoxesss]

i just bought the ES30 E scooter , has lot more features about same speed or more for 900.,00 pounds , better be worth it the RRPO is 2000.00 pounds

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @smoxesk, hope you love it and it's a good fit for your lifestyle :) Cheers

[@smoxesss]

thanks and have a good new year @@TimsElectric

[@TimsElectric]

cheers :) you too :)

[@GingerAhders]

The sad thing is you never actually gave us the numbers of the rating we would really appreciate that thank you

[@TimsElectric]

Numbers? @GingerAhders ? do you mean motor sizes etc? If so, I've reviewed each unit in the video separately on my channel :)

[@JS-wi2ll]

Why don't you ever mention the prices? Or even the price ranges? Weird.

[@TimsElectric]

Great question! I don’t mention prices because they can vary a lot depending on where you’re located and when you’re shopping (think sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday). Since my channel has an international audience, I want the info in my reviews to stay relevant no matter when or where you watch. 😊 That said, I always recommend checking the current price using the links in the description for the most up-to-date deals! 🚴‍♂️⚡ @JS-wi2ll

[@velmano9191]

Hi Tim, as a guy who's 5'11" and 285 pounds with bad knees...which scooter would you recommend? I'm ditching the car and looking for alternative ways to get to my office in downtown Toronto . Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

[@TimsElectric]

i'd need more info to recommend transport...how far do you have to travel...are you on the GO, bus or subway? can you charge it at work? you can email me if you like and I'll make a recommendation :)

[@velmano9191]

@@TimsElectric Hi Tim, I travel about 10km one way to work. It's a combination of one very long bus ride and a short subway ride. I can charge it at work (which is 9 hours). Cost is not an issue but build quality is. I've considered ebikes but they aren't allowed on the bus racks. I've seen bus riders carrying escooters inside the bus. Hope this helps. Hope this helps.

[@TimsElectric]

​@@velmano9191 in that case, the Apollo City dual motor is what I would choose...not the lightest but smooth :) I use mine as my daily....and love it...I've reviewed it on a few occasions (after 400kms for example) and I think I even have small discount ...$50 apolloscooters.ca/?sca_ref=2195521.fgHqdgRRse also check out these ...see if it's a good fit for you: www.youtube.com/@TimsElectric/search?query=Apollo%20City
