Apollo has came a really long way into one of the most technologically advanced scooters at the forefront of reliability and simple designs!
Would appreciate a 6+ month, long-term review of the Apollo City, Pro and Go!
Sounds like I need to put some miles on! -Paul
Random Facts:
Apollo Ghost (Unicool VDM-10) has a successor called the Unicool X1. It shares parts from VSETT and Mukata.
Apollo Ultra was based on the Unicool X11-DDM. The Fastest scooter Apollo ever had.
There's a scooter called the Daxys Bandicoot that looks like a earlier version of the City 2022.
Another scooter called the Punk Rider Pro looks like a "new gen" replacement to the current Phantom.
Apollo's scooters are manufactured by Shenzhen Z.S.F Technology Co. [Apollo Air Pro (ZSF9), Apollo City / City Pro (ZSF4141/ZSF4142), current Apollo Air (ZSF3151) and Apollo Pro (A1200).]
I thought about mentioning the Bandicoot but with so many scooter didn’t want to confuse things. I haven’t seen the X1 I’ll have a look. Thanks! -Paul
Bro.. do you work for Apollo? Lol
It's kind of laughable that people think that the Punk Rider Pro is even remotely close to the Apollo Pro. The Punk Rider tried to copy it's looks but it's a far cry from what the Apollo Pro actually is.
@@justinmah1015We know it’s not remotely close as it costs only a third of the price of a Pro. You can do whatever you want with your money, but to say you’re getting a value at nearly $4k is laughable…
*LOVE THIS REVIEW Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* I love my Apollo 2024 Dual Motor. I love the Apollo channel as well as they saved me alot of money. So many STEP BY STEP tutorials I used one of the tutorials to repair my Dual Motor. I dropped my Apollo on to its handle and severed couple throttle wires in the handle assembly. Not under warranty. So I disassembled handled via there great tutorial. I took apart and soldered the 2 wires that were severed. Back on the road in an hour! I always use my regen rarely use my reg brakes :) ... *Cheers😊IcloneFun🤗*
This was a very comprehensive & informative vid on Apollo and their products! Definitely learned alot and appreciate Apollo's journey of making technologically advanced & reliable scooters.
Still enjoying my Apollo Phantom (v2 + v3 upgrade) after 2 years of riding!
Great to hear it! Thanks so much for watching and for your insight! -Paul
I just received the Apollo CIty (2023) and I noticed my kickstand is a complete upgrade/design change from any photo or video I've yet to see. It looks like they are making continuous changes to improve and that says a lot about a company in a crowded market. Great video, thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback and the update on the City 2023! -Paul
It is city 24 version thats why
I had no idea that Apollo started off with Xiaomi m365 electric scooters before moving on to Segways and then finally their own spec'd scooters like the Apollo Explore. Can't wait to see what electric scooters Apollo comes up with next.
*_Kudos to Paul and the whole ESG and RG Teams for this comprehensive video tour._*
Thank you so much! -Paul
I absolutely loved this origin story style video of the history of Apollo! I have had 4 of them. This is the best company making scooters today period hands down! Sure there is room for improvements. However, at every turn Apollo takes the opportunity to make improvements and push the feature content and quality of their lineup. Do this video again in 2028! Can't imagine where they will be then!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you said that. Watching this video, I already want to make the next one! -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide here is an idea for a video. Survey the ESG team as to the top 10-15 features that need to be on a scooter for 2024. Then make a video about what are the top 3 scooters in each price point/ weight class check the most boxes. $500-$1000, $1000-$2000 , 2K
Great coverage of the Apollo scooters line up, glad you mentioned the Phantom V4, cant wait for mine to come in!
Good choice!
great documentary. Love my apollos City 2022 & 2023
Nice evolution video. These are very nice looking scooters and the drum breaks look so much cleaner. I’d like to see what the 2024 2.0 will go for when released.
Thanks for all the high quality videos. Your reviews and the Apollo group videos helped me decide to buy the Phantom. I love it and my second scooter will be an Apollo. I had a couple new rider questions and the Apollo online help was immediate, friendly and spot on answering my questions.
Awesome! Enjoy your new ride.
Wow! This video was fantastic! Really nice work and research ESG team!
Thank you so much! It took sooo much more time to do this than I thought it would. That’s why we had a two week gap in videos on the ESG channel. We were up until 11pm my time Friday night (and 1am for the east coast team members) getting it done :-)
-Paul
Interesting video, thanks.
Apollo is probably the most passionate about scooters, the brand has a soul and a purpose.
The latest Pro and Go models are the most beautiful scooter designs I've seen.
I'd love to ride those refined models.
I really appreciate their attention to detail, innovative spirit, the open sessions with the community, Beta programs, Upgrade paths, etc.
Other brands just make scooters for a living. Apollo makes scooters for living!
Very likely my next scooter will be an Apollo.
Great point!
Nothing beats hearing Paul talk about scooters. This couldn't have come at a better time. I was thinking of getting an Apollo scooter. I can't decide between the Go and City. Or am I better off with an ebike in NYC?🤔 So much to think about.
Get the Go, the latest and most advanced model of Apollo perfectly designed for portability! You could easily and safely swerve through traffic and in between traffic-jammed cars with its narrower, 20-inch handlebars which still retains impressive stability!
The Apollo City will be a huge pain in the @$$ to get through the subway turnstiles with those comically wide, 26-inch handlebars (My Segway F2 Pro at 22 inches already struggles to fit through the turnstiles that I have to lift the front and angle it to get through).
Also, whether you have the Go or the City, Manhattan traffic still makes it extremely tricky to just run through red lights so the bigger, faster scooter wouldn't win with especially with the latter's wide handlebars making it significantly less safe to swerve or fit between cars in a traffic congested area!
Even with my Segway F2 Pro, its 22-inch handlebars are sometimes a bit too wide for me to split through traffic congested cars that at any moment, I would've had an accident.
The Apollo Go's narrower, 20-inch handlebars could easily prevent that dilemma and help inspire confidence! Getting the Apollo City would just increase unnecessary burden and far more likely increase the chances of accidents in that manner due to its much wider handlebars!
As for ebike, its way too complicated with so many to choose from and its cumbersome to carry up and down stairs in an apartment and tricky to store.
Trust me, I'm a daily commuter of NYC and speak from experiences!
Yeah, I really like the Go a lot. The only thing missing (if you like that sort of thing) is adrenaline from straight-line acceleration. But it’s still tons of fun and nice to live with.
-Paul
Thank you so much @stelgado! -Paul
My '21 Ghost and girlfriends Explore are still going strong. We recently hit 1000 kms.
Nice!
-Paul
Obviously a hell of a LOT of work went into this. Thanks Paul 👍 you are a legend!
I've been so close to upgrading from my 2022 City Pro once the Pro was unveiled, but then Eloi revealed the 2024 Explore and I fell in love with the design like nothing else on the market (That removable hump / camel battery and turn / brake signals in the foot pedals was a piece of Eloi genuis & craftsmanship) Pity no V3 was unveiled with the project now on hold. I would hope it returns sometime in 2025 maybe slightly twraked as it didnt lokk to be a cheap model (maybe on par with the Pro in terms of pricetag)
I cannot wait to see what Mac, Chris & Eloi have cooking for Q3/4 of this year, I am excited to see the Phantom replacement (perhaps that is the A11 project?)
I like Apollo scooters and all but my Apollo Explore had the electronic throttle stop working after around 800 miles. They told me it wasn’t covered under warranty and I needed to buy a new one. I bought the new one and it was working normally. 100 miles later, the battery went out. Wasn’t worth replacing the battery so I gave it to a friend who is trying to come up with some way of salvaging it. Even after all of that, I still like Apollo products and will be looking to purchase a new model in the next year or so.
The main thing that I’ve seen go wrong with batteries is that if you get some down time (like a dead throttle) and end up storing it for a long time with low charge, the battery can get damaged or even go to such a low voltage that the BMS locks you out because it can be dangerous to re-charge a battery once the voltage goes below a certain level. I hope your friend is able to do something with it. It’s a future classic scooter! -Paul
I love how Apollo has faces to the work that they are doing, completely opposite of any other scooter company . totally engaged with their community
For sure! Great for them
Hello again! I Get really inspired so I tried to make my own Norwegian scooter review channel, after listening to your tips I send a gmail to every single scooter brand in Norway but got no response, any other tips?
Mitchell got his start by just buying several scooters and making lots of videos about his long-term ownership, mods and rides. Eventually he made a riding tips video that did very well and got the attention of a couple scooter companies. -Paul
I got Apollo go a few months ago. Now I crave for more speed..
I had a Go on pre order in the UK but upgraded to the City Pro before it shipped and i'm not sorry, it's an absolute beast. One thing to note though the CIty is a very chonky scooter in person which videos don't do justice and it's way too heavy to carry pretty much at all so enjoy the portability of your Go :) (also the Go light bar is super sweet!)
That opening shot 😳🔥
Thanks Cam! -Paul
I absolutely loved my wide wheel pro
Nice! How long did you have it? -Paul
Apollo, please give us an Apollo Go "max" something with 20-30% more battery capacity. I'll buy two of them immediately!! I love the model, I just need a little bit more range. It doesn't matter to me if it's 49lbs or 53lbs but with most tested ranges falling in at 18-20mi, it comes up about 5-7 miles short for me, when I'm not able to charge at work for some reason.
One thing to keep in mind is that our range test has 92 feet of elevation climbing per 1.6 miles. If your commute is flat, you should be able to go a bit further, but I’m still not sure about 25 miles at 20 to 25mph. -Paul
Whats the best scooter to get in the $1200 range? Im 220 pound 6'2" rider
I thought they discontinued the city single motor in 2024 as the GO would be too similar in function. I have what I believe to be a city single motor 2023- it has the turn signals and the awesome stem latch, and it’s definitely a single rear motor. I bought it in February of 2024 to replace my turboant X7 pro (what a piece of junk) and I got one of the last city single’s before they discontinued selling em
Wow that’s much later than I thought. We never fully tested the single motor version (though we have an early single motor version on hand), so that’s one of the Apollo scooters I know the least about. -Paul
Wild they’ve been at this for just 6 years
It’s crazy how fast things change in the scooter world! -Paul
I was upset with this company for their shipping oversight (they listed every country but only shipped to one). Their distributor list was empty, and they only listed 3 models in which to order parts for. They corrected 2 of these. So, I'm happy. They are making positive advances towards complete excellence in product, service and operation.
Thanks for the feedback! They do have dealers in more in more countries.
Can you review the apollo phantom v4 if you have not?
I don’t know if we’ll get that one since it was a smaller update to the V3. I’d like to though! -Paul
That was fun.
Apollo go is my first scooter. The pro looks so sleek. I just can’t spend 3500$ on a scooter.
Nice! Did you receive it yet? - Paul
Yes. Only have 90 miles. Weather in northeast is just becoming nice. It’s because of your video I choose the Go.
Very interesting review, but the Apollo Pro is still out of my budget in terms of my budget and pickiness 😭
There will eventually be used ones for sale, maybe even factory refurbs. :-) -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide we just need to hope 😂
Apollo Ghost 2022 @ $700 vs Apollo Go @ $850?
Go
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide what's the reasoning?
Make a scooter with 20 inch tires
Would be interesting!
Never ridden a scooter before in my life electric, or eve just a kid's kick scooter... although, I was a skateboarding speedfreek in my early days. I'm 63 now. Anyway, just got my new "Pro" all programmed up, and about to go on my first ride ever... will I survive... wish me luck.
Good luck!
From all the scooters i really like the Apollo Pro, its such a nice ride. Im also glad they came out with the Go as that's the scooter i will be getting for my 12 year old son for his 13th Birthday in a July. They've seem to keep making them better every time they revise them. This is a great video showing their line of scooters over the years.
Thanks so much! It was a lot of fun seeing all of them in one spot. -Paul
I still like my 2020 Ghost. I'm just the right weight for the suspension so it feels like a cloud. It'd be cool if they kept the name Ghost with an updated model. Maybe something for the entry level performance scooter. Just a thought
Great scooter! I was shocked when they discontinued it, but I guess there was a lot of overlap with the City. -Paul
❤🎉😁 you are the best hosts for entertaining skilled diagnostic juicy details that we need to know in the scooter world oh thank you😅
Thank you so much! -Paul
I just got a City Pro 2024 and this thing is an absolute weapon. The amount of torque really surprised me and 32mph top speed is no joke. My last scooter was one of those humble no name 15mph scooters which was fine for getting around but the City Pro feels like a rocket ship by comparison. The best part of my day now is my ride to work and back, lol.
The customer complaints and service records for Apollo, would be about as thick as a 6 pound phone book. How long will it be until Apollo raises the bar on their lackluster customer service woes? Great video btw! Those skeleton frame Apollo scooters looked great!!
Thanks so much for your support!
Yeah, scooters are a tough business. Imagine what the warranty cases on iPhones would look like if they could get flat tires and jump off loading docks :-)
-Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide The half-baked loading dock jump...is a WHOLE different story. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. You compromised the structural integrity of that new scooter in less than 5 seconds. Crazy!!
I'm noticing the complaints are much fewer now compared to the times during the Apollo City launch and their supply issues being mostly rectified as of last November.
The scooter is a good idea. I recently acquired one. It's fun. For short distances, it's great. I've watched several videos on your channel. It's very instructive. It's not related to you, but nevertheless, in a normal economy, where people prosper, the main means of transport should be the gasoline-powered car. I know that in developing countries, where poverty is a social scourge, this form of transport is very common, as in Vietnam. For me, it's a step in the same direction as the "own nothing and be happy" policies and the "container" or "log cabin" real estate market. The public popularization of alternative means of travel resembles a NATO counter-mobility operation preceding a war. It's great fun, but it's a serious loss of autonomy.
I think my next scooter will be the Apollo Go for its portability-to power ratio.
That’s its super power for sure! (Along with ride quality). -Paul
💯‼️💙
🪖👍
It's a very interesting video. I am in the process of looking for my first scooter, and I am learning a lot from your channel. Thank you for all of your hard work. I would like to find something similar to the GO but with a longer range and safer battery chemistry.
Try the Apollo city! Use code RIDERGUIDE for best price
Hi! I have a request. Is it possible you could make a video that tells us what upgrades Apollo made in Apollo City 2024 as compared to Apollo City 2023?
Minor upgrades! Nothing worth making a video
in the adition on line-up, Apollo does same update V3 for the Ghost than the Phantom (APOLLO GHOST 2023 UPGRADE KIT).
I'm sorry but a nearly 4 thousand dollar flagship scooter that's 52V??? I would expect 72V or at the very least a 60V........
They are going towards the tech front and not the crazy spec front. The average scooter riders goes about 20-30MPH even on faster scooters.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I can respect that but for four grand I would expect to be able to eat least hang in inner city traffic. 40 mph roads are gonna have cars hitting 45...... 50 mph should be minimum for that price.
There's a store in the southeast called BrandsMart USA that has an amazing selection of scooters on the showroom floor. I bought my Ninebot Max G2 and my Segway GT2 there, yes they had GT1 and GT2s in stock. Last week I was in there and they had a bunch of Apollo scooters on the showroom floor. Apollo Air and Apollo City.
Thanks for sharing!
Was there already electric scooters around 2015 - 2017? Or COVID really triggered the explosion and boom of electric scooters?
There was scooters but Covid really triggered an explosion of scooters.
Please review the Red Bull RBS scooter. Carbon fiber. It looks nice.
We will take a look thank you!
Have you made a video on the hover 1 renagade? 900watt dual moter I can't seem to find anyone who has reviewed one
Not yet! It’s on our radar.
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide awesome with 54v/11.6ah do you think that is a big enough battery for the dual 450 watt motors ?
This is a super cool history lesson on one of the biggest Scooter companies around these days! It’s awesome to see how far Apollo has come.
I’m awaiting my City Pro to arrive this week, upgrading from a KQi3 Max! Can’t wait 🤘
Awesome choice! Enjoy your new scooter
