The only issue with the apollo go that made me get another scooter is it's range. Otherwise for most short trips it's my go to. I'm surprised you didn't pick the punk rider pro to be honest, because it's seems closer towards the ideal scooter for the majority of people.
Yah range is definitely not the highlight with the GO. The Punk Rider Pro was a very close contender for me and I’ll actually be making a follow-up video on that one soon.
Inokim OX and OXO Super - the most reliable scooters I've had. Incredible build quality, very durable and the performance is solid. Never let me down. I've owned Kaabo, Dualtron etc before.
Will never give up on the OX.
I haven’t tried Inokim scooters before, but I’ve heard great things about them :). Definitely on my list for the future. Thanks for sharing 😎.
Just watched your video testing the Ausom Gallop on that mountain. Made me order one 😂still waiting on it
Ha! Yah the Gallop tears that mountain up haha. No struggle at all. Just 100% pure fun 🤩.
Man I have to agree and disagree. I have owned 5 recent scooters. On paper I think the go checks all the boxes just as you said. However, I can't get over the narrow handle bars. It makes the ride feel very squirrelly to me. The angled in bars also limit deck space which is also pretty limited, but I feel that affects the ride negatively, too. The suspension is fine but not nearly as robust as others. That's the price of the light weight, though. Personally, if you have hills, this is a great scooter in the price range. If not, I personally think the max G2 is just so much of a better feeling ride. An absolute tank
Every time I get back on the Max G2 and feel the suspension, I’m always like, “wow, this is nice” haha. Segway really nailed it with the suspension on that scooter. The wide handlebars also add to comfort on longer rides.
@tomsgadgetgarage both great scooters though
@@tomsgadgetgarage
Yes but it's heavier.😊
Yup yup, there are always trade offs. I’m hoping one day battery tech leapfrogs and allows for a sub 30lb scooter with full suspension that gets 30+ miles of range and 30+ mph. 30-30-30. Let’s see who gets there first.
Nice vid, thanks for putting it together! I'm certainly considering the Apollo, I, too appreciate the portability. I would prefer 10 inch tires, mostly because availability/selection seems better than the 9 inch tires. I appreciate Apollo also because they have posted some DIY repair vids, I don't know if all the manufactures do that.
That’s a great point as well. There are tons of 10” tires available from 3rd parties, far fewer in the 9” size.
Yah I think repairability as well as parts availability are very important. And DIY videos help a ton as there aren’t very many places (yet) that service electric scooters.
thanks for the video, the apollo go was a strong contender for an everyday scooter for me and my wife. i don't need or want a speed demon, the important factors to me are range, some suspension to still be capable off road and something that is not to big to be overly difficult to take 2 in my truck. i passed on this one just because of range, this would prob be fine for 90% of what i want to do but i don't want the fear of running out of range or cant go somewhere i want to. I ended up with a vmax vx4 gt, happy so far.
I’ve heard great things about the VX4 GT. How’s the ride comfort with the suspension?
The reason I did Not purchase the Apollo Go... It's 36 Volts !.. The next one needs to be 48 Volts.
Then, I'm sure, more people would buy, (or at least consider it)
A 48v version would be sweet 😊. That would help with voltage sag at the end of the battery.
Yes 48V, 15,000Ah, 720Wh battery would be fantastic. It would add 3-4lbs worth of cells but be totally worth it. That would land it firmly in the commuter category with weight similar to the Max G2.
I may have to pop mine open one of these days to see how much room is under the deck. Might give us a clue as to whether we can expect a “max” version in the future with the same form factor.
I guessed it right, haha! I figured it wouldn't be the Cruiser V2 because you haven't had it long enough. Then I thought it's got to be the Go because it does so many things right. My only reservation was the range which made me think, he may say "it was almost the Go but due the the range limitations" might pull out out the surprise Punk Rider pro because sometimes you just gotta go the distance. The Go sure is a bitchin little scooter but the only way it could work for me would be the 'only two scooters scenario." For example I like everything I've seen about the not yet released Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar. It could be the case that with one of those and the Go, they could suffice for all of my scooter needs.
Ha! Yah the Punk Rider Pro came really close. I ended up going with the GO because of the weight and size. The Punk Rider is also relatively small and light when you compare it to its main competitors. But yah range isn’t the greatest on the GO.
The Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar looks like it’s going to be a sweet ride. I’ve been tempted by that pre-order button on multiple occasions 🤣.
As for the EMove Cruiser V2, that thing’s range blew me away. I’m going to make a video on it tonight. I’ve been riding it around at night every couple days this last week. It’s so confidence inspiring with regards to range that it makes me feel like I can take a quick ride to Sedona on it LOL.
The best scooters are 11 inch hyperscooters, be honest, would you rather ride this or an Inmotion RS every day? Because we all know you would rather have a hyper scooter then an apollo entry level scooter if you had to only pick one single scooter...
So I haven’t personally tested the InMotion RS. I know it’s a glorious scooter, but it’s also a very large and heavy scooter. We regularly go on family trips around Arizona and space is tight in a five seater compact SUV with three of us and our dog, so a large scooter just isn’t practical for me as it would require folding the rear seats down. I also use the GO and other small scooters for quick trips to the grocery store or a trip to the post office. Smaller scooters are easy to wheel in with me. If I could drive a Ferrari I would haha, but it’s just not practical for me as an everyday rider.
The ausom gallop is my go to scooter,I am 58:years old and road my scooter near the beach ⛱️ at 5:00 a.m. it is so much fun cruising at 40 mph 😁
The Gallop is probably one of the best deals for a scooter if weight and portability aren’t a concern. That thing has loads of power. I remember taking it on that mountain road and it just muscled its way up without skipping a beat. It treats hills like flat ground haha!
The Apollo go is my go to. I live in a double we own and I keep my scooters upstairs. I have 1200 miles on my go compared to a couple hundred on my other 3
Yah man I keep going back to it after riding a bunch of other scooters and am continuously impressed by how much you actually get in such a small package.
Great video btw and refreshing. Most scooter maniac channels would pick something like the RS or the Burn E 2 Max, which I can also understand. If you don't have to get on a bus, put it in a trunk or haul it upstairs, a hyper scooter can commute in comfort at a leisurely pace or go recreate like a rocket ship.
Nice video. How would you compare this to thee punk rider pro or that new Splach Thunder scooter? I’m very interested in those 2 and wanted to pull the trigger prior to new years.
Hey! I’m going to try and put out another video on the Punk Rider Pro by Wednesday. The GO and Punk Rider Pro are two very different animals and both are solid scooters in my opinion.
That would be awesome. Would look forward to it. Still considering that scooter and the new Splach thunder scooter that just came out.
Seeing that's I'm a newbee still I only know my ninebot G2 Max and it like it alot just wish it had a longer range why I want to upgrade to a gotrax GX3
I’ve heard great things about the GoTrax GX3. Looks like a solid scooter.
@tomsgadgetgarage yes I've head good things to and for what I need it check all box's and some
@tomsgadgetgarage would you ever try and review one
Hey mate love the channel. Nice work with all the videos of the different rides and scenarios. Got the Max G2 based off your series and absolutly love it.
Thank you! The Max G2 is a permanent part of my scooter fleet haha. It’s the benchmark for all commuter scooter suspensions. Glad you’re enjoying yours 😊.
Boosted scooter always drew my attention. I believe they been out of business for a while
I’ve heard of those in the past. Looks like they resell other brands now.
@ seen a couple on market place for 800$-1000$. They have 2 motors and are light. Kinda reminds me of the go.
Respectable decision. The Apollo Go would be perfect if it had a 52v 18 AH Battery 👌 so 35 mile range instead of 20ish.
Yah 52 volts would make this thing peel out like crazy haha. It’d be nice to see a higher spec version of it for those that want more range. They’d have to balance it out with their other offerings though as the City Pro is their longer range commuter option.
If this had foldable handlebars I would have definitely bought it. Enjoying your content!
Hopefully Apollo makes the Go or city with foldable handlebars (next version/gen) and I’ll replace my Hiboy with one of them.
Thank you! Yah foldable handlebars would be awesome. As long as they do it in a way that doesn’t have any play or rattling noises.
For me its the Nami Klima.
The Klima is such a nice scooter. I rode on one once and was really impressed with how smooth the ride was. It’s 100% on my list of scooters to buy. It’ll have to be in 2025 though because I went a little crazy this year LOL.
I tested the Apollo city with Tim, Tims electric in Victoria Canada. He does nice scooter/bike reviews. Sorry I don't know how to add links to his channel. He pulled out a new Apollo Go and yes it did look very very solid as did and was the city pro that I rode. The Go looked a bit small for me but the city was a very nice feel. I'm 6,2 235lb. I'm torn between the Apollo city and the punk pro which I wasn't able to test. I might wait for an updated 2025 City Pro if there will be one but damn they're expensive and the punk pro looks like much better value. I'll be in the $1500 usd range . I can't justify more than that for my scooter needs.Thanks Tom for all the honest advice. Good stuff !
I love watching the Tim’s Electric channel as well 😊. It’s always fun seeing him cruise around Victoria and tackle the hill of death haha. Such a beautiful place to cruise around. Funny thing is that I almost bought a City Pro after watching his video on it back in May/June of 2023 haha. I ended up with a Segway Ninebot Max G2 instead because it wasn’t 100% clear when the City Pro would be shipping and I was super impatient and ready to ride right now haha.
I personally haven’t tested the City Pro 2024. I have tested the Punk Rider Pro extensively and it’s a solid scooter with more than enough power for everyday riding. The wide, swept back handlebars make it a comfortable scooter to cruise around on for longer distances. It also gets great range. The suspension does ride on the firmer side so it’s likely not as plush as the City Pro. The Punk uses drum brakes with electric brake assist. One thing I’ve noticed about this setup is that there’s an ever so slight delay from when you pull the brake lever and when the electronic brakes actually engage. It’s literally a fraction of a second, but I can feel it. I got used to it pretty quickly, but just something to call out. The scooter also makes a really loud beeping sound when you go into the app and change the settings. It beeps when going into certain menus and also when saving the changes. That beep is better than the horn on 99% of scooters 🤣.
Other than that, it climbs hills like a champ and overall is a joy to ride. The lighting setup pretty much ensures you will 100% be visible to others on the road at night. I always have people looking over trying to figure out what I’m riding haha.
I was watching an "Mission Apollo" stream and Eloi stated that the City likely wouldn't be updated for 2025. With that stated, I think the City is probably worth $1500-1600 and the Punk Rider Pro is probably worth $1200-1300. I have the Punk Rider but it seems the City Pro it a little bit more refined in just about every area from it's suspension, battery, and app. It's just that it's going to cost you a bit more. The Punk Rider had great lights and is a blast to ride. I couldn't pass it up for it $999 BFCM pricing.
Low earth orbit ! LOL
Haha yah some of those hyper scooters are insane. Some Interstellar type stuff 🤣.
Hehe that was my question to you a few weeks ago. Great video as always.
That’s right haha! Thank you 😊
Can that coil spring be changed out for a stiffer one for heavy guys?
Hello! I’m not seeing anything on their site other than the 2024 Regular Front Suspension Assembly. The fact that they put “regular” in the name tells me that maybe something else will become available 🤔
I’m actually looking at the nanrobot brand to get a scooter.
Have you heard of the rule of three for videography/photography? Please put your head higher in the frame - thanks.
Awesome work mate another great video
Thank you so much 😊
I would only buy a 36v scooter as back up if my main scooter needs some work. So it has to be cheap and the Apollo go is not cheap.
Yah it’d definitely be a pricey back up.
Segway f2 pro
That’s definitely a good choice. Some of the benefits of the G2 but much lighter.
I am very unhappy with gravity😁🤳🤠🎊🏆
Haha! 🤣
So am I! I see an Inmotion RS in my future 🛴🤑
To the moon it is 🚀🤣. The InMotion RS and RS Lite seem to be very solid hyper scooters. I’m not sure I trust myself with that much power though…
My 7 reasons not to own an Apollo Go.
1) No disc brakes so hence a poor stopping distance in emergencies.
2) extremely narrow handlebars.
3) Underpowered for price
4) No back sweep or upsweep on handlebars so bad ergonomics for riding.
5) Tyre size too small
6) Poor quality suspension for the price
7) No room for handlebar accessories
Yup, I can see that side too. For the price you can definitely get a much more powerful scooter with disc brakes, hydraulic coil spring suspension, bigger tires, wider handlebars, and more room for accessories. It all boils down to how important portability and weight are going to be.
It kind of reminds me of those old super micro Sony Vaio computers back in the early 2000’s. They were tiny compared to everything else on the market and had decent specs given the size. Great for people on the go, not so great for power users.
No thanks about the Sagway ninbot max 2's front failed suspension???!!!
Oil leaks,breaks loosenings,rattling.😮
Way heavier old boring design.
I haven’t had any issue with the front suspension on the G2, but now that you mention it, I’ll keep an eye on it. The brakes do need occasional adjusting though. Thankfully the new G3 has dual disc brakes.
How much did Apollo pay u, Ginger?
Watch the whole video bud, I disclose the exact figure for you.
Thats an unfair comment, this guys one of the best unbiased scooter reviewers.
@@mnc303 Do you own a scooter from Apollo even?
I owned an Apollo Phantom V2 it was crap didn't like it. But that doesn't mean other people cant have a different experience especially with a new model. I myself ride a Nami Klima and love it. It would be my choice for best scooter for my needs. @haplo_
@@haplo_ You’re everything that’s wrong with social media & comment sections, while hiding behind a fake name and picture. He clearly states at 2:10 that he paid for the scooter out of his own pocket.
