Built and designed like a high-end electric scooter, the Apollo Go is brimming with innovative features, Cybertruck-esque lights, and premium flair. Yet, despite inheriting the best aspects of its pricier siblings, it manages to meld its influences into an affordable, entry-level format.

You're probably doing the best scooter reviews on youtube in my opinion. One of the things that sets you apart is how well you cover competitive options and also when you hold the manufacturers accountable when the scooter doesn't lives of the claimed specifications. Please keep up the great work. I'm excited for your channel to get to 10K, 15K, subs and beyond.
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 CZcams.
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.
I happy with the go. I wish it did 28 mph not 25. No load it goes 25 maybe 26 for a flash.
mine hits 27mph on flats
P.S. I like your longer video format as well. You really beat ESG (Ride Guide) reviews, all the way around. You're just more thorough.
Agreed!!
ESG is more like just a sales video & promotions site???!!!😂😅.
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.
Couldn’t agree more. Apollo gives all these great materials and styling and ends up useless because of the range
Range sucks!
They made the City Pro for that
They made the City Pro for that
They should added swappable batteries would been much better!
The go 2024 is badass!!!!
Good to see u again brother and very cool small scoot easy to take anywhere
Great review. So much to like about the GO but there are some things pointed out well in your review they need to consider for version 2. We have seen as bright but protected handlebar turn signals from Segway and Pure and various others, the tail lights and head lamp on this should be aiming to be as bright as that amazing stem light as again there are better ones on other scooters, And the Niu scooter mechanism for latching stem to deck is by far the best though it does only work that well by virtue of the stem only being as long as the deck. It’s amazing how far we have come from the xiaomi m365 to scooters like this though so may the innovation long continue! I hope we see that display, stem light, and kick plate turn signal design make its way to the air and city in their next iterations. I love how Apollo goes for ip66 across their line up too. Will you be reviewing the Segway Gmax 2?
Personally I would like the tyres ABIT thicker like on the city pro as I've had both 2" and 3" before now and find it much more stable and grippy aspecially in the rain
Awesome review as always, still can't decide between the go and city pro as they both have there pros and cons but sure I will figure it out 😂
Can't seem to get the go here in UK till mid may at the earliest tho 😢
UK laws are way too harsh and backwards towards electric scooters so neither one will win out!
Here in America though, the Go will be far more useful and versatile in any commute as portability is a major factor!
i have both - the go is the better all rounder re ride feel
and versatility/portability- room for tweaks but overall it’s the best scoot under 50 pounds (46) on the market - even as far as stats
I have about £1200 to spend on an escooter. There are plenty of choices out there, right ?
Not if you live in the UK ! I just don't know which scooter to purchase. I have an iscooter ix3,
(which weighs a little over 23kg). Judging by that, I can go 24kg max weight. (I live in a 1st
floor flat). A scooter I like is the iscooter i10 Max, but it's not available in the UK right now.
The VMAX VX2 Pro is another option, but not available in the UK ! With the UK escooter laws
not yet established, the choice of escooters is limited. (I feel like a Leper living in the UK). I
have ordered 4 or 5 escooters in the last couple of years, only to be told, we have no stock !
They advertized them as being in stock, but several days later, I was told we have no stock !
10:54 Anyone know what gloves he uses?
Great review 10 out of 10, but I have 0 faith in Apollo scooters
Love the black helmet. What's the brand/model?
Will it keep the 25 mph consistently throughout the whole ride or does it decrease in speed?????
The battery drains pretty quick at this speed..
After about 30 minutes of riding it barely crests 18mph. It's definitely the biggest disappointment about most scooters but this is the worst case of BMS buzzkill I've ever experienced. If only it had just 10 more cells in the battery row! So close to being award winning the range and performance nerfing really is it's Achilles heel. It's almost like the scooter is designed to hit these numbers purely for advertisement purposes.
I was thinking of getting this for my son but i feel like the Ausom Gallop would be a better choice based on performance and bigger battery. But the down side i see with that scooter is the squeaky brakes i keep hearing about and the tube tires vs self healing tubless tires. Well, i got time to search for an upgrade. This Apollo go is still on my list to possibly buy.
Don’t get qualm gallop it has tubed tires
Great review as always. Overall, there isn't a better scooter in this category anywhere. It's right in the sweet spot but there is one problem -- the range is indeed weak -- 20 miles at best on a full charge in gear 2. To reach 44 miles you would have to crawl along.
I really think this is for people (like me luckily) that need to dash around a city. I really like mine
Yes, considering the common use and availability of white / clear silicone rubber, the handlebar caps on this model are simply ridiculous. I like everything about this scooter, I just which the range was a little bit better. A 20% range improvement would make all the difference for me. I would love a "Max" version with slightly longer range, true 28mph speed and 2" wider bars. Heck, I'd by two of them! It would be the perfect travel / road trip scooter with those improvements.
The range is a problem for sure. I expected more on that front
Love everything about it but the tiny handlebars are a dealbreaker...What the heck were they thinking.
I'll tell you what they were thinking: portability. This isnt an enthusiast scooter it's a "get to work and back" scooter. That being said it'll fit in your car better while simultaneously being easier to carry/store at your destinations.
I'm a big guy 6'5 270lbs so I can't be sold on it either way.
But the handlebar length 😮
The only gripe I have about this thing is the super narrow handlebars. If it were 24" wide, it'd be perfect imo.
Yes, even adding 2-3" overall would have made a big difference in not only control and confidence, but space for a phone mount (for those who have zero interest in quadlock), and an additional light.
Tires look like crap guys NINEBOT ALL DAY I habe mine 3 years thats right 3 years battey still going strong tires never punctured git a nickles worth
this shit is a waste OF MONEY over priec garbo in canada wher its made we dont even go for these
THESE ADS ARE PAID they send him a free scooter WAKE UP KIDS
What would u recommend in the same price range ?
Nonsense, the Go is quite inline with other modern designs with regards to cost. The KQi3 300 is $1050, the VMAX VX2 is $1000 and both of those are single motor units. A Segway Ninebot Max is $900 and falls way behind in performance to everything else mentioned. The Splach Twin which is an archaic design is $1100 with pneumatic tires and is a dinosaur at this point. The Go can be had for $1150 with discount code. This issue isn't the price, it's the small 540Wh battery and they could have made it a 720Wh battery for another $50 worth of cells.
thats crazy, u can spend the same or less and get WAY BETTER scooter
