Thanks for the review @FreshlyCharged! We're super happy you're using the Regenerative brake vs the drum brakes (that's the goal, 90% of our riders are using these, which makes your scooter much more efficient, require less maintenance and recharge up to 10%). Great feedback points re-light, and kickstand, already solutions in place on future batches 🙂. And congrats Andrew on your new child - can't wait to see them on a scoot in the future!
I own a lot of scooters (too many), but I think too many people think they should get a 100lb scooter and will learn to regret it when a 50-65lb scooter would be ideal for them. I rarely go over 30mph on a scooter and can't fit my big scooters in the trunk like I can a medium-weight one. This is the class most people should look towards when upgrading from a basic segway/xiaomo/niu.
I dunno, I've never had as good a time as I did as when I owned a wolf King gt pro
If i'm go in thirty miles plus on a scooter I want it to be atleast 75 pounds
Agreed, after a ton of research I purchased the 2023 City Pro as my first scooter. A friend of mine bought the 120 lb King GT that goes 65 mph but it's so crazy heavy that it's a pain to pack around....it was also crazy expensive.
Very true. I live on the city and scooters like the City Pro hit the sweet spot of practicality, portability and stealth.
Love my city pro 2022. I have almost 3500 miles on it so far and just purchased it march of last year.
Never had a flat tire and im still using the original tires the scooter was shipped with. Have ridden in rain, snow, heavy winds, negative temperatures etc this scooter has experienced & survived it all.
It really makes me want to get the PRO I imagine that one is even better.
CONGRATS!!! All blessings and good fortune on your new child and for your family.
apollo definitely has the best aesthetically looking scooters.
Segway gt2🧐
@@igot5onit423that's the one where the handlebars break off?
Love how they double-packaged it! Never before have I seen an Apollo City Pro 2023 unboxing video as clean and detailed as this!
Makes it friendly to ship overseas as well!
The way it is shaped with the rear frame handle and the front wheel attachment to the stem makes it super easy to carry up and downstairs by any able-bodied individual!
Quite happy with my 2023 City Pro. The regen brakes are unreal and I use them most of the time. They enlarged the battery on the 23/24 model which is nice for extra range and the cells are the 21700. I haven't had any issues whatsoever with the app, it works great. All in all, it's been a great scooter. I will say that Apollo also has sales regularly so keep an eye out on their website if you're in the market.
Nice packaging . Very neatly designed build. Also I love the low-profile look. But, you know me, I'm a hyper-scooter guy.
Congrats Andrew! That's awesome bro.
Great review guys. I’ve been watching a lot of reviews in anticipation of purchasing this scooter soon. Very detailed in what an average scooter rider wants to know. (You’re the first reviewer to talk about out the 2 ways to turn off the blinkers) It’s rare to find a review that publishes later than others but still brings new relevant information to viewers, but you guys did just that. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you guys for your amazing reviews, because of you guys I purchased my Nami Burn E2 Max last year and love it. I just got my Apollo Pro and this scooter is amazing and looks futuristic are there any plans for a review on the Apollo Pro?
OMG 🥰 Congrats, Andrew & family 4:38 👶!!!
This was a recommended video by Google for me (I’ve recently been watching eScooter videos). I was about to close the video before the “things you didn’t like” section as is felt like an advertisement more than a review. I’m glad I didn’t close it as the video was well balanced by the cons, after hearing all the pros. Thanks for the review and for Apollo for sending you the unit. 😊👍
One criticism as a new viewer on your channel is the skidding on a device in reviews. I don’t understand why reviewers in general insist on doing that? It’s not a “trick” it seems kind of juvenile. If you can’t brake hard without skidding it shows a lack of control or tire grip and promotes anti social behaviour by leaving a mark on the surface you’re riding on. It also lowers the respect level that people using these devices are already struggling with (Scooters are banned in some areas, like here in Australia, because of users doing things like that in public). Replacing tires on a scooter is a pain too, so why encourage people to wear them out intentionally? /EndOldManRant
I appreciate your insight and your rant. Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations, Andrew.
Welcome to Earth, Andrew's baby 🙂❤️
CONGRATULATIONS TO ANDREW and FAMILY 🎉🎉❤
Apollo nice stuff !!!
Im glad i found your video. For the last year ive had the joyors10s scooter. I had my back tire go flat 7 times. I don't have the scooter anymore & planning on getting this scooter now.
congratulations 🍾
Can you guys review one of those Alibab a, Bafang Ultra m620 full suspension aluminium EMTB´s with Rockshox Yari ?
Color changing paint, blue/purple they look sweet and are like 3000$. Congrats Andrew!!!!
That sounds pretty sweet. Send a link to Andrew@freshlycharged.com
@@Andrew-vt4jt done, remember you can customise your order with the parts you want, even the logo can be custom, would be awesome to see one with the Freshly Charged logo 😉
Great review, thanks for the info!! My CITY arrives tomorrow and i cant wait to get out there.
How is ur city now? Im planning to buy one
Excellent review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Congratz Andrew!!!
this is my first scooter (i had the 2022 model which later upgraded to the 2023 handle bar) i loved it. Apollo is great with warranty claims and great help with trouble shooting.
Like the video, I didnt like the drum brakes too because it requires alot of force to press. and another thing is if you need to do some work and have to remove the battery from the scooter it is HELL to put it back in. It is a really tight fit. It will fit back together but just note that it takes alot of time.
Other than that, loved it! you dont really use the app at all other than occasional tuning of the regen brake. Its an amazing zoom around scooter that can easilly maintain 50kmhr letting you ride in roads.
I would recommend this scooter to anyone. i myself eventually switched over to EUC because i dont want to have to hold a handle bar at all times. Riding scooters with 1 hand is very dangerous.
congrats on the baby! this scooter reminds of the segway max g2
Congrats, Andrew!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you! 😍
When will freshly charged review the SKWheel One ? Hope there’s no wobble at 50 mph 😅
Congratulations Andrew! New baby! Yeyyyyy
CONGRATS MAN! Hey Andrew where did you get you. Moto/Hoodie the grey and black one.

Congrats Andrew on your newborn!
Thanks! It’s amazing being a daddy.
Horn, better front light should be easy fixes for Apollo. Really hope you guys get hold of their upcoming Apollo Go to review also! Always thought the city was a great commuter scooter. And Congrats Andrew!
Hi love the video as always, can u guys try and review the arvala m11? I’m considering to buy one but still got no concrete reviews of the scooter
Knowledgable review 😀
Congratulations on baby Andrew 🎉
great review! would you guys choose this or the inmotion s1f?
Congrats! U ever think of doing a video on "how to powerslide". I'd like to learn haha
We could try and work that into one of our videos. Its all about the rear brake and whipping out the rear end. Start slow and build your way up to try and do bigger rotations. Just make sure to gear up in case something goes wrong.
Awesome 👌 🔥
Congratulations to you and your wife!
Do you think the stem & latch are strong enough to transport the scooter on a trailer hitch bike rack?
I have the same scooter and never had a problem with the disconnection with the app and the light in the front is bright so I don't know what this guy in the video is saying, maybe just his is bad the one I have I love with no regrets.
Which do you prefer for commuting. Dualtron Popular or Apollo City Pro?
Congratulations to you and your partner Andrew!! Beautiful baby!!
MAY Good GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY GUYS
THANK YOU
Handle bar signal lights, very little value. The turn signal should be a switch instead of two buttons. Similar to what a motorbike use. Still waiting for a motorbike throttle instead of these thumb throttles. Kickstand will not work well if on uneven ground. I always feel as if my scooter will fall over, even when on level ground. It should have a bit of a lean to it. The front fender does not do its job properly. I really like the locking hook for picking up the scooter. My 2022 City Pro does not have the latch so I end up carrying the scooter with the stem locked in an upright position. Too many stories of the hook unhooking itself. I have to say, this scooter is first class. Clearly, the designer put some thought into the scooter. If I did not have my 2022 version, I would purchase the 2023 model. I feel very safe riding at high speeds compared to previous scooters I owned. Very stable, smooth, drum brakes are the way to go, cruise control (use it all the time), carrying handle makes lifting the scooter so much easier, lots of power. The range is about 45 kms. I go 40 kms with still some juice left as I never drain the battery. Now I wish it was summer... two more months before I can take it out.
I would prefer the drum brakes over the disc brakes, simply for their no nonsense design, and easy/low maintenance. I'm glad to see that Apollo is using the drum brakes on the City, and even on their flagship Apollo Pro scooter. Well played, Apollo!
I'd love to see an actual ride test and not just 2 dudes talking about the specs of th escooter we can easily find on the website. Whats the actual range and speed? How good is the scooter going uphills?
Congrats Andrew! 👶
great scooter, will buy one 4sure, man
Hi, can you do a review on Dualtron Achilleus 2024, the one with ey4 etc 60v28ah - 35ah
Nice 🤜🏿🤛🏼
what brand helmet are you guys wearing?
Would be nice to see the Teverun full line up reviewed, and the Kaabo Mantis X
We’ve got the Tetra and 7260R in, and the Mantis X will be shipped after Chinese New Year.
Congrats on your cute baby Andrew.
Guys you missed the size of the deck!
I loved this scooter, but i had some issues with the ACP 2023. Only had for 2 months and sold it. Personal reasons. Great scooter! Good Day to all.
Most of what i've heard is the horror stories around Apollo's reliability and customer service. Check the relative subreddits. It got so bad they had to create their own new astroturfed subreddits so they could be mods to hide all the negative backlash of their products.
QC and customer service apparently VERY questionable according to reddit. Stem wobble a big problem with this model. 2023 models fixed some issues, but I would proceed with caution with Apollo.
Wider handlebars also add stability, especially for those of us who are taller with wider shoulders.
How would this compare to a dualtron popular? What would be a better option,
Popular is a little cheaper and has a higher top speed and acceleration. But this scooter is a lot more refined and the larger tires are safer. It depends on what you value more. I prefer the city over the popular if speed isn’t your priority.
How much weight does it hold? I broke a hover board and I'm only 220lbs
My city pro was great when it worked. It's been in the Apollo service centre going on 5 months waiting for a stem. I've bought two scooters from Apollo. My first ghost had a dead motor right out of the box. My city pro had so many problems. I gave up on Apollo. I bought a Kaabo mantis king GT since I have no idea when my city will be fixed. Kaabo is way better than Apollo, MKGT is amazing 😊
the best brand ever from canada in general people who buy these products are happy...
How do we get this in Europe?
The look is a lot like the Daxys Bandicoot. Must be made in the same factory.
Hydraulic brakes are the only brakes I accept
Hey Freshly, I’m trying to buy my first scooter. I can’t decide between Segway g2, Apollo city 2023 and Apollo go. I’m willing to spend a 1000 bucks. Which scooter is the best? I’m 5’10 and about 150lbs or 65kg. I care a lot about comfort and performance and safety. Or would you recommend I wait for the ST1 to come since it could be around the same price range? Happy to hear anyone else’s opinion
Apollo go is super bumpy with its tiny wheels. I have about 70 miles on mine so far.
1199.00. All included I would buy
Needs a steering dampener so you can ride no handed. .. joking, but every quick scooter needs more front end stability at speed.
And no modular battery or trigger throttle option either, as the thumb throttle system gets very tiresome after about 30 mins.
Otherwise it's a nice if not very large scooter that has been beautifully manufactured.
So what was the actual top speed and range for it?
Depends on the “factors of riding”
@@digitalral I know what it depends on. But normally they do a draggy accurate speed, reading any range test.
@@mobettaspice top speed = pretty fast, range = 7 laps around the neighborhood
This is an awesome all round scooter .
I love my one .
Built like a tank .
Regen brakes are a game changer .
Drum brakes are easy to replace .
Where's the 7260r review boys??
Coming soon! Thanks for tuning in.
Is the quality and reliability as good as Niu?
It seems to be. The scooter is rock solid from our initial review. We will update you if anything changes.
Oh, so much more! Niu relies on more maintenance-intensive disc brakes as opposed to the drum brakes of the Apollo which is more durable and less maintenance-intensive!
Is this scooter heavier than the ghost?
App... turn on your location. Make your changes, then just turn app off. No issues.
Perfect commuter is THE TEVERUN fighter Mini
just wish the battery is a bit larger
wide handle bars that don't fold down !? Apollo is big enough that they should bring incorporate food down handles like Uscooters have
Center notch is a steering head bearing issue, that's a factory defect and not for stability lol
nice
❤❤❤
I had an apollo ghost and sold it in less than a month.. they habe no value, they overprice things by trying to convince people theyre better quality. They say people dont need faster scooters, just better engineering... they dont know their market
why did you sell it?
@KroryykDB wanted more power and especially range. The apollo ghost once you ride about 10 miles the power drops alot and same with the torque. The range isn't good, I would get to about 18 miles of range. 13-18 miles is very slow. Sketchy past 30 miles per hour, no lights at night, breaks were a pain in the butt, uses way old technology etc. Now I have a dualtron thunder and I get 60 miles real range or 90 miles if I keep it under 25 miles per hour. It can hit 63 mph, amazing headlights etc. I get more compliments on it and stopped more than when I had my corvette and camaro !
Congratulations 🎉 Andrew welcome to Dad Life buddy 😏Jus letting you know that none of the Scooters ships with accessories like you phone holder…that’s extra 😏 jus Saying #apollo
So once the scooter is locked to your phone there’s no way anyone can hack it an steal it ?
Love the scooter but a massive disadvantage of scooter from apollo is that there is never any room for customization and im all about your style your choice on my channel. you cant change the handlebar width changing your color, changing your throttle style, moving the brakes and throttle around. or even swap for magura brakes or nutt brakes. Cant even mount a phone properly on the handlebars. you cant do that for your style of riding and much more stuff you cant change but overall it looks good.
1700 dollar 💲 IDK 😐
Exactly! That price is TGDH!
congrad
Can the scooter maintain 32MPH when climbing or is that only on flat? I'd like to see a scooter that's overbuilt and software limited because my "22MPH" Segway Max G2 can only hit 22 on a very flat surface with 75%+ charge and tires inflated to the maximum. I'm often on streets with cars trying to go 30-35 while I'm only able to go 17 because of the incline. I have to go over to (much rougher) side-streets.
Segway GT1 is $1499. Has faster top speed, larger battery, hydraulic brakes, hydraulic suspension, great app. Its built like a tank. Segway also has an amazing warranty, where they''ll replace practically anything, no questions asked. I heard Apollo's warranty and post purchase customer service is not as good. Apollo city pro should be priced around $1000 to be competitive. I would by Segway GT1 again.
not as good is to be polite lol
I absolutely can’t stand Apollo’s center notch in the steering. It prevented me from buying one.
After about 50 miles or so, break in period. The center notch feel is gone.
It's a factory defect with the steering head bearings
@@user-bp5py6bh3g What is the defect ? Can you please be specific.
@@7sonero7 Steering column is over-tightened in the factory on the steering head bearings creating a notch, often with incorrectly applied grease amplifying the issue. Same issue with Nami Burn-E scooters.
@user-bp5py6bh3g Why do you suppose the notch goes away over time ?
Do you think it is due to the break-in period?
let me get this right you stand up on a board with a handle bar that comes up and two bike brakes and you go 30 miles an hour and if you loose your balance or something happens you are just dead
You're quite the genius having realized this!
🤟🤟🤟
Would love to see you review the Apollo Pro Luxury!!! Apollo took 3 yrs and 7 versions for the final product to be released to the public. I think NO I know you guys will love it!!
let's be honest , that tiny front light is 500 lumen?
The app is trash. Sam issue as Andrew but still not resolved.
48v 20ah $1700 😂
I got one with better suspension, and offroad tires that goes same speed for 799
That’s awesome!
Cheap crap.
You can adjust the brakes to grip easier & more powerfully just like on bycickles!!! You guys need to learn more before a negative criticizing!! Thx. .🎉😂😂
Based on customer reviews of Apollo products, I'd never by an Apollo scooter. I don't trust the brand or the customer support.
I think you'll find that there is not a scooter brand alive and well today that has proper customer service. It's all outsourced third party uselessness. You really have to have a voice online for them to take any interest in helping you directly lest they make bad publicity that affects overall sales.
You would think a huge brand like Segway would have it but nope literally the most disgusting scam of a brand you can get behind lol
There is actually no brands with reputable customer support. Maybe a company like lectric or something but yea you are better off buying off of amazon so you can return easily
Solid scooter ... smooth acceleration and regen braking. App does what it needs to do. Only negative is the kick stand.
Been riding the ghost for 2 yrs now 1000 km and phantom for 1 yr 500 km no issues just reg maintenance. Customer service is A1 .
Ok don't buy 😂 , nobody cares
Well done kid enjoy your first 2yrs then 16 yrs off living with a demon.lol. kidding mate congrats.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
it's nice but it's too slow
The Apollo Go will only do 25-28 but it's not very stable and it's much more pleasant around 18. The wheels are tiny on the go.
Apollo has bad design cheaply made want you to think your getting a quality scooter but materials are cheap what you pay for also way over priced
I had this scooter for a month and though it sucked.
