The Apollo City Pro may not be as fast as the brand new Apollo PRO, but it's a heck of a lot more affordable and goes about as fast as I'm comfortable riding on an electric scooter, for now that is 😜
Compared to other "faster" electric scooter's I've tried, this one rides smooth as butter. The acceleration is strong, but also predictable and feels natural. You can get up to high speeds and feel stable and in control on the Apollo City Pro, unlike the last electric scooter I reviewed.

I'm 60 and loving mine esp on the weekends 😂
I bought a VSETT 10+ and I haven't driven my car in over a week, which is huge for me
⚡️🤙
I have a es max arriving today I’m so exited I’ve had all the others but finnally have enough to buy it used to just about getting too 19mph on the others this will be much funnier with the better batter power speed suspension:)
The same thing I haven't used my car for a 2 weeks because I just brought a Mercane MX60 I'm loving it! I'm saving on gas not only that this will save me also on oil change and EXPENSIVE car repairs!
I have a p100s and it so so fun 🤩
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. Your disposition is genuine and refreshing, where many youtubers feel manufactured. Keep it up!
Cool scooter. I’m really amazed at all the safety features and how well these are designed. Thanks Matt!
Great as always, keep up the good work!
The throttle and regen brake assemblies in this video are prone to sticking, so something to watch out for. I had a couple near disasters when the throttle was stuck open for me. Apollo service was great and sent me a new throttle and brake type that did not have this issue, but they were a BIG pain to self install.
Thanks for sharing your experience on this scooter! Great to know
The 2023 model has updated throttle, the issue is now fixed
Love your videos man, gained a new subscriber! 🎉
Thanks for the review, just ordered mine. I was ambivalent till I saw you ride it up a hill, similar to hills here, through dirt, gravel, city etc. Living in Portland OR, needed to see that. Very hilly here, and will be nice to not always be stuck on street, lots of trails here too. Definitely went with the dual city 23, I'm about the same size as you with size 13 shoes 😊
My little brother uses this to do door dash deliveries and loves it. He said his time has been cut in half in the city down town using this instead of his car
You should watch some scooter tutorial videos it helps you learn how to ride and brake so you don’t flip over the handle bars.
Really well done video!
Regen braking may not make a huge difference, but it CAN be the difference between getting to the bus stop or walking 6 blocks.
Enjoy the ride ! Get backpack. Bad parking areas, no problem ! Park safe scoot in !
Good to meet you Matt
I use a combination of ebike/escooter/car, but can only do so in the summer months as we get tons of rain in the PNW and very cold winters that sometimes bring snow for a couple weeks..
20mph not dogproof near my neighborhood 😂.i hope every scooter maker have an turbo/nitrous function for short bursts just in case
Dog or 🐻 spray can help against those vicious beasts!! 🤢S&W too.😅🤣😂
Fr where im from I just get off and they walk away unless a pit or brave one is there 😂
If you ever head to Voro Motors in LA I'd love to see a review of the Roadrunner and Roadrunner Pro
Yea, I have the long range Emove cruiser from voro and Yume hawk...the Yume is better in every way..way faster, way better brakes and if u keep it on one motor even more range...still, my girl loves the emove..nice quality..wobbly stem tho..
I owned the Apollo City Pro 2022 and rode 2000km in 1 year. I loved the scooter, its real waterproofness, comfort, performance. But from reliability point of view, it is an disaster. At first, orange paint was peeling off on both front and rear suspension in the new state already. Afer two months of use, charger malfunctioned. Replacement charger malfunctioned in 2hrs. Then I got charger from different manufacturer. At approx 500km, rear suspenstion started to sqeek - especially in hot weather. Tried to tighten/loosen/oil everything, nothing helped. Sometimes it was quiet, sometimes people were turning their heads in the streets to find out the origin of strange awful noise. Also stand plastic end cracked and I had to glue the whole thing together. At +/- 1000km I noticed that front brake bowden is worn and torn in the location of front suspension. Both brake and electric cable are lead along the front spring with almost zero clearance with no possibility to adjust it - so luckily just brake cable was touching the spring, motor cable had maybe 0,5mm clearance. At +/- 1300km my throttle started to stick - I almost crashed when it happened for the first time. In 2 weeks, it stopped to return at all. It took 6 weeks to get replacement (Europe, Czech Republic). And finally, at 2000km, I rode at +/- 40km/h and suddenly felt free play in handle bars - it was due to all around stem crack just above folding mechanism. Then I got 6 weeks e-mail and phone battle to return it to seller. I loved the scooter, but never more.
I know you normaly look at the high high end stuff but it would be nice to see your opinion on the kugoo M4 Pro or a Pro S+
Definitely ride goofy with feet pointing to the left -- one in front and one behind -- the handle can be used as a rear foot rest or for lift...
Bought the Yume hawk...what a beast! A true 40 mph and around 3omile range in top gear...70 miles in lowest gear..around 12mph...all true at my 220lb body weight .
how long are u using it for?
Several hours..mixed speeds...then the 70 miler was like all day . @@WorkDemystified-rt5bh
Good review thanks 🙏🏼 🛴
Scooters can be a great replacement for a 2nd car. You will always need a gas car though for long distance or big shopping trips. Scooters are a great (and fun) way to save a TON of cash though if you would otherwise be a two car family. My wife and I use our scooters for everything except long distance travel or large shopping trips, so we save TONS of cash with the scooters. You only need 1 car payment, you qualify for cheap recreational car insurance since you almost never use it, and you will almost never visit the gas station. This is a MUCH better option than an EV car/truck in my opinion. I don't see EV car/trucks as being viable either financially or environmentally. The battery is going to die every 5-10yrs, the car is going to cost 2-3x as much as a gas car and you have range anxiety. Not to mention that if everyone switched to them you would have rolling blackouts. All of these issues go away with an electric scooter, or other micro-mobility EV.
amen brother
I prefer e bikes, other than I don't get annoying idiots telling me to leave my scooter outside to get stolen when I take it shopping. Also in my state scooters are supposed to be limited to 15mph which seems extremely silly, unless it's only allowed on the sidewalk.
@@DarthTinderalla-qm9zw Yeah e-bikes are great as well. I've fortunately never had anyone tell me to leave my scooter outside. They are generally afraid that you're going to ride it in the store. One thing I do to help alleviate that concern is to drop a hand basket on the deck so it's obvious that I can't ride it in the store, and then I have a makeshift shopping cart. When buying scooters though I definitely look for ones that provide a location you can securely attach a u-lock, and I make sure the scooter has some kind of anti-theft protection like Apollo is doing, where you can lock the scooter, and even report it stolen and have it tracked right to the criminals home.
Apollo is the only company. with an actual North American based customer care center. that actually picks up the phone, and responds to Emails. and if in the event you need replacement parts. their avaliable. what a concept.. other scooter companies. take note
Exactly. Big reason why i went with Apollo. I dont mind paying an extra couple hundred dollars for the piece of mind over speed of other scooters.
Doesn't Fluid Freeride have one too?
@@glockaxisnot in Canada at least.
I got the LEOOUT looks cool, works good, nice features, 2800W dual motors, cheap breaks, with boost, turn sigs, for cyber monday for 600.00 and it’s been Fantasic about 37 mph top speed.. save your money can’t see spending 4000 for that..
The box says fragile... where's my hammer
Fun stuff thanks
Will this be a good purchase any recommendations on a scooter I need one for daily use for my work
It is a good scooter when working. However, the anti-puncture wheels are no better than any other scooter I have had with the tube-filled tires. However, the problem is that these tires are almost impossible to put on. Apollo is a good brand, but I would pick another model for that reason alone.
do you sell any of the bikes/scooters you're sent for review?
10.000 Subscribers :)
You need to try the solar p1 it’s roughly the same price as that vsett
Feet should be to the left like you’re riding goofy style on a skateboard, if a car were to open the door as you’re passing you would hit with your right shoulder. If your facing right it leaves your ribs and chest open for impact. If you’re feet forward then you are just asking to eat it.
thnks for this tip never thought of cars opening doors lol
@gabuu1088 The faster you go the further you have to stay away from vehicles from sudden door opening!!! You better be aware of this great danger!.It can even turn deadly!!! You can hit the sharp edge of an open door at even 20Mi /32Kp speed can be bone breaker.
Either way you'll get hurt!!! 😱😎
Nice video Bro.
Thanks dude
Whats with these titles of "under 1500, and then immediately you say its more than 1500??? Why are we flat out lying??
Edit: fair enough, i judged before i watched all the way and judged off others videos. This dude seems pretty honest. I will be watching other review by this poster and taking it into consideration
it was 1700 when I recorded, but they cut the price to 1500 before I published
@JuicedJoyrides ok fair enough, I'll bawl down when I'm wrong, I've been watch so many of these that are just sponsorships rather than true reviews
I don't know if you have it but, do you have any escooter base level on everything then compare them for overall riding experience?
I know you're kind of a speed junkie, most of your positive reviews are for faster ebikes/emoto/escoots acce & top speed and a portion of it for torque..
Love all your channels non-the less.
🙏 this scooter and the mukuta are excellent ride quality, mukuta is more exciting that this one but both are great
My 500bhp BAM Engined MK2 Golf cant stop laughing...
For anyone thinking of purchasing this scooter, purchase the City Pro 2023. The few flaws in City Pro 2022 are resolved. Sticky throttle \ Regen brake, replaced plastic kickstand with metal one, carry hook has a latch, even more powerful battery. I own the City Pro 2022 and it is a smooth powerful ride. The tires are 50% wider than my previous scooter making riding through lose gravel \ dirt so much safer. Absolutely love the cruise control. In fact, if a scooter did not have cruise control, I would pass on it. People say the light is not very effective, but from my riding at night on a bike path... the pathway is fully lit up. I normally do not prefer riding at night, but with this scooter, totally safe and an enchanting ride. This is a full size scooter, not something you toss into your car's trunk. People who are looking for a way of parking their car, this would be it. Oh and to boot, if the scooter is stolen, it has built in GPS so you can track its location.
Try a Begode Extreme or Inmotion V13. I think you would like it. =)
Nah my nami klima max is almost same weight as this scooter and packs a punch on performance. I think is in the top tier on the mid range class scooters that I know of just doesn't go above the 50 mph about same top speed as the makuta and varla eagle one pro. Probably bigger then this scooter but klima can fit into any trunk of a vehicle.
Sweeeet, need to try some higher power models
I always take the manufacturer max mileage and cut it in half. Works on just about every e vehicle so far.
not on this one ppl got 30 miles out of it and manufacturer says 37
Yes,Apollo pretty honest about their products.
What really makes something replace a Car, not in your case, ability to ride in rain. It is IP66 and great fenders. I have the smaller Apollo Go and it's great, as I have a car and will use it as last mile or last 20km on irde
I own one of these and I don't need my car unless I'm going on a road trip so it's a REALLY good investment
Can u review punk rider pro cheap but it can be compare to appollo
tell us more about the new handlebars..
Thanks for asking. They are bars for your hands, you can grip them so you don’t fall off. You use your arms and hands to move the handlebar left and right.
Try electric unicycle, imo its closer to replacing car because of some insane ranges they can do.
100% U WONT GET 25 MIles going max speeds and pushing it youll get about 25 k(I have one) and be prepared to have nothing but problems from regular riding, huge stem wobble issues, back fender problems.
the electric scooter is more different to e bike and both have different control and i think part very annoying is have paid a tax for it on e bike and scooter too but idk what most recommend for without any of a tax but i dont really know so my brother got a e scooter and like went 20 mph and i have like 200$ e scooter like very slow maybe 5 or 6 mph around i think from Wal-Mart from my town but they didnt sell a e bike only normal bike and only e scooter but for little kid am teenage and i need my own scooter for my own size and my ages but what most recommend cheap and no tax e bike because my family cant afford it
I don’t have much experience with scooters but I do know cars and I keep hearing that scooters are upgrading to drum brakes so less maintenance but in regular cars drum brakes are about the worst brakes you can opt for a lot more maintenance you have to open them up and clean them out since unlike disc brakes there open you can just wash them drum brakes are enclosed and you have to open them up to get the brake dust out and clean them so how are drum brakes better are they different in a scooter?
That’s actually a good question, I wonder the same thing
@JuicedJoyrides great videos by the way I am new to the channel but so far I like the content thanks for the hard work you put in to these
Can you show the insides??
Can you not just disable cruise control?
I wish the US ev tax credit applies to these it’s actually kind of crazy that they will give you 7500 dollars to buy a heavy car that tears up the roads but not a tax credit equal the value of a 1500 dollar scooter that doesn’t rip up the streets and that if most people rode would make our streets so much safer
If you don’t drive your car very much check the charge level on the battery at least once a week.
Let me have that :) I’ll take care of it! Lol
Where is the windshield wiper and air conditioner?
this is my first scooter and I really love it
but this looks like the 2022 model? really? thats odd how they still sell old models with the few safety issues they have hmmm
I wonder what happens to all the review units that are sent to people to review?.
Cool bro
Its not called a dash. I think it would be a cockpit. Kinda like a bike.
Would you consider doing electric unicycle videos?
Yes, need to upgrade my personal insurance first 😆
@@JuicedJoyrides 😅
Thats the 22 version u want the 23 version few improvements
my hurley is fun to ryde and pushoff without power
emove cruiser S gets much further range
Just paid $1600 for a 5600w dual motor scooter with 60v 40ah 12in wheels, motorcycle front forks, dual rear shocks 50 mph
Nice, which one?
Tif galop k8, I'm a really big guy and it rides great! @@JuicedJoyrides
@@ScribbleScrabbless Be careful with it though. Those scooters have a TON of screws, so it's easy to lose one and be screwed (no pun intended 🤣🤣)
Also, because it's from a manufacturer that's overseas, it can make repairs or even replacing parts a real pain.
@@Patkilla7558 thanks for the heads up
Not when it's raining.
HOW FAST DOES IT GO?
Looks like the german scooter Trittbrett Fritz 😅
Hard No ! It can't carry a x large pizza ! My scooter can carry a pizza and case of beer/ coke ,and not cramp a large dude's style !
I think the varla Eagle 1 is a beter optcion
My question is
Is it too much for me?
I love danger
But I don't want to go
Too soon
Hehe
There’s no more “Apollo city pro” just Apollo city “dual motor” the “Pro” model is a totally different scooter now that isn’t even available yet. Literally every CZcamsr has been getting this wrong when it’s explained on their website smh.
This is the 2022 model which is cheaper and still listed as Apollo city Pro, but yes, 2023 appears to have a lingo change as you describe
Kukirin G2 master puts this to shame.
That is almost the same thing as the Hiboy S2 that you can get for $200
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE IS 6’’5??? IM FUCKING 5’’6
I like watching Rob Schneider do bike and scooter reviews
Did anybody tell him he looks like that one actor
Gary from Winnipeg
Haha try my segway GT2 that goss 47 mph
Ride it in the snow and tell me if it replaces the car
Maybe with off-road tires?
@@8_x_9. tried it. Playing with fire with the moisture. My mantis pro se got destroyed first snow storm lol
1.9 stars
Just wait until you need to change a tyre....
if it cost 1000 dollar i would buy it but 1500 you can get more fun for
For 1500 you could get double battery electric bike. Or the e box 2.0 which out of the box is 29 miles I believe
500 watts per motor, 30 mph and 40 miles of range FOR 1700????????
HELL NO!!!!!

Looks slow 🐌 Boo!!
stupidly over priced much better scooters in that price range
This "review" is bonkers. Oh, you're from Hollywood. Make sense now.
You will not need gas or electricity or food if you ride one of these scooters very often; just a cemetery plot.
😂😂☠️
Crap
scooters aren't my thing but great review. thumbs up ....peace out
